One side is accepting of weirdness and creativity but a disorganized, unfocused mess. The way Autobots run things and might be overdoing it slightly. Almost like the Decepticons are trying to distance themselves from They don’t even see Cons as sentient people.įree thinking/creativity/choice is completely fine.īut there is little structure or plan to whatever On the contrary, Autobots hear horror stories (propaganda) about how Decepticons are pure evil who “eat Autobot protoforms for breakfast”. It’s also fascinating that we see several examples of Autobots joining the Decepticons - Blackarachnia, Swindle, Lockdown - and they’re generally accepted without question, from what we see (tho some - like Strika - may be skeptical of their commitment).īut not one example of a Decepticon changing sides and integrating into Autobot society. Her, she preferred to join the Decepticons rather than go home for help.Īgain, Decepticons are fine with people who are different. Yet she was so scared of what the Autobots would do to And the worst thing Megatron ever saysĪbout Blitzwing is that he “seems a little unstable”.Įlite Guard in training who had an accident and was turned into a Him and Blackarachnia insult each other equally. Yeah, his 3 faces are extremely strange, but The most artistic example is Blitzwing, who (in a comic)īuilds a statue for Megatron when they thought he died. Lockdown reassembles his body in whichever ways he thinks are more fun, intimidating and effective.
Because I guess atmosphere and branding are important. His base in the old mine, the first change we see is that the walls were Swindle even wears the insignia, but is functionally a Neutral.ĭecepticons can choose their alignment and their “career path” freely.ĭecepticons also see creativity and individualism very differently: And yet Megatron doesn’t seem to have an issue with that. Some Cons follow Megatron directly (Lugnut, Blitzwing, Strika etc.).īut others like Swindle and Lockdown just do whatever they want.Įveryone knows those two work with anyone who pays them, including Autobots. When Megs is gone, everyone seems lost and nothing gets accomplished from what we see. Sure, they have one guy who infiltrated the enemy’s highest ranks, but other than that everything just seems to depend on Megatron’s vague promise of returning to Cybertron by using the Allspark. How? Well, something about the Allspark I guess, if they ever find it. What is their goal? They want to kick the Autobots out of Cybertron and keep it for themselves. The Decepticons don’t have any real plan to them: Well, they’re actually very much the opposite in many ways: So they are overcompensating by being overly suspicious and controlling. What are they covering up? Are they afraid of people finding out some shady stuff and questioning their authority? It’s also canon (and not a surprise) that Autobot leadership has destroyed huge amounts of historical documents.
#Hellsing ultimate free
This is not a society that encourages creativity, the free exchanges of ideas and a healthy level of questioning authority. Wasp’s story shows us that if there is even a suspicion of you being an enemy spy, they’re going to arrest you on the spot and lock you up for life in conditions so awful, you go insane. This development is only possible through necessity and being cut off from any authority figures back home.
Optimus has to go through a lot of development before he starts seeing his team as individuals and approaching them as such instead of quoting propaganda and attempting to pull rank. Hell, people get their names from their drill sergeants.Įveryone has their assigned place of usefulness based on your performance in boot camp and you’re not supposed to do things you’re not “programmed” for.
There seems to be no “civilian” leadership, there seem to be no civilians at all. (Mentions of colonies and the whole thing being called the “Autobot Commonwealth” aren’t helping the image)įor example, military rank equals political rank. It’s the extremely militaristic and authoritarian society that the Autobots have built. The issue isn’t really that Cybertron is war-torn.
