* Another reason why Lelouch quickly develops respect (and later affection) for Optimus Prime is perhaps not just his natural charisma, but his empathy. As stated by C.C., the only one she knows whose compassion can rival Nunnally's is Optimus himself; Lelouch probably can't help but notice the similar quality between the two, and seeing as he loves his little sister with all his heart, he unconsciously grows to be a little receptive of someone who reminds him of her, despite his justified difficulty with trusting others.
** Continuing from this, Optimus Prime is a being whose ideals and beliefs stand in direct contrast to those of Charles Zi Britannia and Megatron: both preach that strength is what matters, and if you are weak, then you are only a pawn (though Charles was putting on an act). Optimus has great power as a fighter and leader, but he fights for peace and freedom for all people. This makes him the sort of person Lelouch would wish he had as a father: a powerful warrior king with a noble soul who uses his abilities to ''protect'' others, not dominate them.

** The first human of note would be Suzaku Kururugi (who was even made the first official "human Decepticon"). While many Cybertronians have noted the similarities between him and Optimus Prime, they gradually began to see that Suzaku may bear more similarities to Megatron. Even though Suzaku was eventually able to break away from Megatron's influence and serve alongside the Autobots and the Black Knights, Suzaku still in many ways represents the more enlightened and reconstructed path that [[FallenHero Megatron]] could have taken had he never been corrupted by power.

** In a way, this makes Optimus mentoring Lelouch even more important. As Megatron's uprising wasn't wrong per se, but due to his ambition and decay of ideals, lead him to become just as bad as the oppression he fought against. As Optimus saw some of Megatron in Lelouch at first, this was his chance to REALLY make up for last time. To change a would be destroyer into a protector and a true friend.

** Continuing from this, Optimus Prime is a being whose ideas stand in direct contrast to those of Charles Zi Britannia and Megatron: both preach that strength is what matters, and if you are weak, then you are only a pawn (though Charles is putting on an act). Optimus has great power as a fighter and leader, but he fights for peace and freedom for all people. This makes him the sort of person Lelouch would wish he had as a father: a powerful warrior with a noble soul who uses his abilities to ''protect'' others, not dominate them.

** Shin Hyuga Shang was even more willing to ally himself with the Decepticons than Schneizel because he just quite plainly and utterly ''despise'' humanity and [[OmnicidalManiac wishes to see his species purged from existence.]]

* The Decepticons' disunity and condemnation with the Holy Britannian Empire go deeper than just [[PunyEarthlings seeing humans as an inferior species]] -- Britannia enforces a [[FantasticCasteSystem caste system]] that is in several ways reminiscent of the one that had been implemented on Cybertron before Megatronus' uprising, which many of the earliest Decepticons had originally been oppressed by.

* Why would Starscream be so submissive to Megatron even though the events of "Rock Bottom" never happened? Remember, the events of "VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron" actually happened in this continuity, and fairly recently at that; meaning Starscream had already staged his coup, began his time as a rogue Decepticon, freed Grimlock, and getting the snot beat out of by mentioned Dinobot. Most likely the two latter events had impressed Megatron to give Starscream another chance, not before dishing his usual beatdowns on him to ensure Screamer gets the point.
* If Unicron is connected to Geass, why can't Geass bearers affect Cybertronian yet? That's because Cybertronians have lived far longer and can adapt to counter the Geass for a while.

* ''Transformers'' is well known to cross over with ''Franchise/GIJoe'', which, much like Code Geass, has a leaning towards the military. What becomes engaging, however, is comparing the two only to realize that the Autobots and Decepticons switch positions here. In the G.I. Joe crossovers, it's the Autobots who team up with the predominant superpower (usually America) through the Joes and the Decepticons who team up with the terrorists through Cobra. Here, the Decepticons ally with the predominant superpower (also majorly located in America) and the Autobots side with the supposed "terrorists".

Optimus has great power as a fighter and leader, but he fights for peace and freedom for all people. This definitely makes him the sort of person Lelouch would wish he had as a father: a powerful warrior with a noble soul who uses his abilities to ''protect'' others, not dominate them.

** Being Megatron's protege, Charles zi Britannia is much like the Cybertronian warlord himself - enforcing a campaign of conquest that had been shaped by their own harsh upbringings. Charles, however, is trying to create a world that ''[[ItsAllAboutMe he]]'' (and V.V.) believes will be better. Megatron is under no such delusions - he's going to be top dog, the rest of the universe be damned.

* Even though the author stated that the [[spoiler: Zero Reqieum]] isn't going to happen, the Decepticons pretty much do what it was entailed to do: [[spoiler: be the focus of the world's hatred and usher an era of peace from it (mostly in part of the Autobots)]].

* Why would Starscream be so submissive to Megatron even though the events of "Rock Bottom" never happened? Remember, the events of "VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron" actually happened in this continuity, and fairly recently at that; meaning Starscream had already staged his coup, began his time as a rogue Decepticon, freed Grimlock and getting the snot beat out of by mentioned Dinobot. Most likely the two latter events had impressed Megatron to give Starscream another chance, not before dishing his usual beatdowns on him to ensure Screamer gets the point.

** Furthermore, if Unicron is connected to Geass, then it makes sense. As the author has confirmed that Unicron is the core of the Earth like he was in ''Transformers: Prime'', then that means everything and everyone on Earth came from him, including Geass.

* Normally Geass sigils are colored red which is the same color to most of the Decepticons' eyes. However thanks to C.C. and the other Thirteen Primes, Optimus's Geass sigil is white. This not only shows that he's first and foremost an Autobot but also telling that he's [[spoiler:The Thirteenth Prime]].
