* ''ComicBook/BeastWarsUprising'' has the Predacon Manifesto, set down by Preditron. It mostly follows with the attitudes expressed by Dinobot in ''Beast Wars'' (see Western Animation), based on seven "pillars" - Ambition (but not greed), honor, valor, pride (but only when deserved), loyalty, justice and sacrifice. By the time of the story, most Predacons don't follow or give a rat's about it, not helped by the Tripredacus Alliance "recontextualizing" it after they got rid of Preditron.

** Khornate warriors vary from vaguely honorable fighters (very rare) to bloodthirsty maniacs who'll kill anything that moves including allies (the vast majority). However, the one thing they have in common is that Khorne demands the skulls of warriors (enemies or your own), but doing something like proclaiming yourself a great warrior after valiantly decapitating defenseless victims is a very good way to get the Blood God pissed at you specifically.
** Part of the reason the Tau are viewed with great suspicion by the Imperium is that they ''don't'' hold HonorBeforeReason- where Imperial history is filled with glorious last stands that might have been avoided in retrospect with a little more mental flexibility, the Tau's view is that a commander who let the situation degrade that badly was clearly incompetent in the first place. They'l also agree to leave conflicts if it's too much effort for not enough reward to win, something the Imperium can't imagine itself doing.

What made Dinobot switch sides in the first episode wasn't that Megatron was wrong, but rather when he challenged Megatron's authority on that, Megatron had another Predicon eliminate Dinobot, rather than face him in one on one combat. What endeered him to the Maximals in general and Optimus in particular was that Optimus was willing to accept Dinobot's challenge to leadership and face him in single combat and accept that if he lost, he would be killed by Dinobot, but revealed that the stipulation of death to the loser was not returned to Dinobot (Optimus chose to spare his life and still allow him on his team.). We'd see in later episodes Dinobot was shown evidence to suggest his initial challenge of Megatron was ill informed, and switch back, but his established loyalty with the Maximals was in constant conflict when this happened.

** WordOfGod holds that among the Predicons, Trechary was not a dishonorable act cowardly act (This version of Megatron has at most two loyal followers, neither at the same time) and in fact, Megatron values it. The catch here is that treachery was used as a test of good leadership. A good leader, would be able to stop treachery, either through inspiring loyalty or by preventing treacherous underlings from a successful challenge. Meanwhile, subotdinantes could achieve leadership by successful coups and were expected to challenge authority by betraying leadership if they felt leadership was poor, however, they should anticipate that their leader would be able to counter their machiations.
** Dinobot's closest friend on the Maximals was Rattrap, who seemed to VitriolicBestBuds do to their own personal codes coming into conflict.

Dinobot was willing to make a HeelFaceTurn because Megatron had crossed a line. Rattrap was willing to make a FaceHeelTurn because it would give the Maximals an edge if he joined the Predicons for a while. So natrually, they had no trust of each other. Rattrap would always be suspicious because Dinobot lived by an idealogy that was payed lip service to by so many of his loyal members, so obviously Dinobot was just a spy and not an ethically troubled individual. Meanwhile, Dinobot saw in Rattrap an individual who payed lip service to an moral idealology, but only so much as it justified his dishonoralbe actions, essentially, what he betrayed Megatron over.

Dalinar is the only one who still holds to them, and the Immortal Words of other highprinces scoff at the Ideals of idea, insisting that no one ever ''actually'' followed them, they just claimed to so that they could pretend to be honorable. The really sad thing is that any modern real-world army would find the Codes perfectly reasonable, and in many cases less restrictive than real military doctrine: Stay in uniform while in a war zone, don't drink while on duty, don't duel unnecessarily in case important officers get injured, don't ask your men to do something you wouldn't do yourself, and don't abandon allies on the battlefield or seek to profit from their loss. It shows how much the Alethi have fallen that they refuse to even consider the wisdom in any of that.
