User blog:KGBSpetsnaz/Pure Evil Proposal: Harold Attinger

Welcome to my second PE proposal! This time, it’s on Harold Attinger! Yes, I know he’s already in that category. This is just to confirm that he in deed belongs there!

Who is Harold Attinger?
He’s a corrupt CIA agent from the Transformers franchise. He is in the Age of Extinction one from 2014.

What has he done?
Attempted to commit genocide amongst the Transformers, regardless of whether or not they were good or bad, and kill ANYONE who tried to interfere. He is, in many ways, similar to certain villains from HTTYD such as Drago Bludvist and Grimmel.

Screen Time
A fair amount. Not as much as OTHER villains per se but still just that.

Mitigating Factors? Redeeming Qualities?
None whatsoever. He tried to kill Cade Yeager while accusing him of “choosing aliens over his own kind”.

Character traits/moral agency
He is the EPITOME of a corrupt pig. I understand that not all corrupt officials are Pure Evil. However, he is just like characters such as Judge Claude Frollo when it comes to his hatred and oppression of those who disagree with him.

My opinion on him
Alongside The Fallen, he is perhaps the most evil character within the entire Transformers franchise.

Final Verdict
I would say he’s a keeper.
