Frothing at the mouth did you know Megatron in the IDW comics was a miner revolutionary who used gladiatorial matches to gain power? He wrote a whole manifesto. Like. Cybertron is basically made out of their god. Sparks, their hearts, and their bodies come from the planet. Of course, this leads to religious dogma where it’s all “primus made you a tank, you’re not allowed to be anything else :)” And then there are guys constructed in labs (constructed cold) who are treated worse because no god
A ship names the WAP, full of mid decepticons hunted for being mid. Also they drink the blood of corpses because there’s nothing else The robots r British attack helicopter who left the military to become a watch maker. He got his face and hands cut off as a political punishment and he’s been making it everyone else’s problem since Shockwave used to be a progressive + emotional senator until they also cut off his hands and face. Then they removed his emotions through evil brain surgery
Also? There’s a guy named Tarn who like. Tortures people to death as a job because he’s a Decepticon loyalist + it can be for something as simple as being captured by the autobots. So obviously, this guy shows up in a kid’s show + inspired Megatronus prime’s appearance in the transformers one movie (who is probably meant to be a dead good guy)
We have: Rewind, an old archivist who looks for his missing husband in snuff films. Chromedome, his very normal husband who is a brain surgeon who can stop at any time (it will kill him) also? Chromedome erased his memory of his previous dead husbands because it hurt that bad. RW dies in issue 15 Guy who traveled back in time to stop the war + save his dead crush. Tried to kill megatron before he was born, made things infinitely worse God set off the war by grabbing a curly straw for a friend
