I think one thing that people need to remember when it comes to Autobots and Decepticons is that they're fighting a civil war. They basically want the same thing, but they've got very very different moral standards. There is no black and white in civil war, only shades of gray.
Which is why I'm experimenting a lot with my OC's- a lot of them were originally with the Decepticons, but defected because of their sometimes brutal methods, and then defected to neutral because the Autobots are simply too weak. I'm not really a fan of how the Autobots are run- why should they care about humans, a species that has wiped out hundreds of other species for their own benefit? So I guess my stand is equal with Sidewinder, as he's often told me, "We're staying to try and keep what happened to our planet from happening you yours- after all, it was our mistake and we should try to fix it. We won't stick around long once that threat is gone. And if we can't eliminate it, we're also gone."
Okay, this is turning into a morals essay. Well, let's dive into the movies. Megatron in the first one says "Is the survival of our race not worth a single human life?" Obviously,, to Optimus, it's not, just look at what he does- he completely destroys their easiest shot at life in that universe. I'll skip over Revenge of the Fallen, since that one was just... whaa?. But on to Dark of the Moon. Sentinel finds a way to bring Cyberton back. Their home. And Optimus stops him again, thus dooming their race even further. That's not compassion to a lesser race. That's just poor leadership choices.
I'll maybe continue this sometime later- there's way more points in Prime.
Oh! But good new on Sidewinder's alt-mode! We got it running again, and now I can start it with no hands... like a Boss! Th ignition switch died, so we put in a push button start. The F150 lives on!
