Emperor Kumquat's social media accounts:

The Decepticons had a great point, and then Megatron started doing Space Crack.

"Decepticons, transform and rise up!"

The line ”We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes” hit harder now after watching this

breakdown ironically the nicest decepticon has the most traditional proposed decepticon backstory along with megatron

Given how corrupt he becomes in every iteration, I think Megatron should heed the words of Obi-Wan when he says, "You have become the very thing you swore to destroy."

The writers "Oh sh*t! The villains are making good points, QUICK! Make them kill babies!!"

I don't know if it's ever mentioned, but I think it would be really cool if part of the reason Megatron resorted to Dark Energon was because he resented Primus in a way, for creating him aimless and nameless in a society that cared nothing for him. It would add some depth to the decision instead of just making it space crack

The Decepticons were right at first until they became the very thing they swore to destroy

Megatron is the embodiment of the quote "you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain".

Once again the phrase remains true. "History is written by the victors, it takes a wise man to learn both sides."

damn now that line from dark of the moon by sentinel makes sense: “WE were Gods once, all of us!”

ratchet: admit inequality and the highly questionable gladiator event

Sadly, the decepticons were led by a gladiator that only knew death fights. He was smart and opened peoples eyes, but no one was their to keep him from crossing any lines. So when he started do things like drugging up, no one stopped his slow descent from spokesman of equality and change to mad bloodthirsty tyrant.

This is why Exiles and Exodus should be classed as required reading.
