The idea that a fascistic dictator would rise up from the underclass specifically because of the celebrity and wealth that comes with sports, combined with the skill of combat always seemed logical to me.
A planet of machinery isn't going to have a workers revolt, so the revolt has to be founded on something that could sway masses, but not be a problem for those in power.
Megs basically getting angry that energon is being used unwisely, and not benefiting the cybertronians he represents, and being willing to become a violent activist just makes sense.
I like the lore that shows a slow descent into totalitarianism.
