Reminds me of when Optimus created the Arialbots and told them about fighting robot fascists and they were like "hey man that sounds like you're censoring Megatron's free speech, maybe he just loves radical freedom".

because everyone was dying in a forever war, transformers gave up on the magic of nature and just started straight up building more transformers. as the war dragged on they switched over to mass production. the comic book explanation for the seekers being redecos of the same mold has the consequence that a large percentage of the cybtertronian population are generic made for war bots. like in the video games where there are hundreds and thousands of the same 3 or 4 basic enemy types. being built solely for war, we can assume they also have problems adapting to civilian robot life. there's not much of a civilian role for a tank or a bomber outside of police work. and it's not like the cybertron v.a. and employment bureau has to deal with a few tanks here and there, it's like 1/4 of the population.

not if the oeuvre is transformers comics. transformers vs gi joe is one of the more normal ones. the conceit is that it's a kid's notepad comic about their toys. most everything else, the conceit is to come up with weird scifi premises to rationally explain away particularities about 80s toys and toy commercials and then make it all edgy and grim dark.

The real fun is how Rung single-handedly presented a headache for the Cybertronian caste system that organised everyone by alternate mode in what's totally not basically the techno-organic alien equivalent of phrenology, because no one could figure out what his alt mode actually was. So they made u- 'discovered' a new category just for him.

Good thing that Hasbro bought the naming and character rights (but not the image and rights which I believe still belongs to Bandai's Machine Robo) and have incorporated her into the Transformers mythos.

maybe not the thread for it but you ever notice how in the song "Magic Bus" the guy isn't content to just ride the bus but has to buy it? the guy who drives the bus even tells him he can't buy it, and then he buys it anyway. now all the other people who rode that bus have to find a new way to get to their bay-bay.
