Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Well that's a shame, too bad something else can't begone cause of creepiness...

Wow, so much animosity.

Me Grimlock believe him Cybertronian like me. Hopefully a fellow Autobot. Would not appreciate praise from Decepticon.

Why? Praise is praise, especially if it tells something about you.

When Decepticons praise me Grimlock, they praise me Grimlock's murderous and violent nature. Say me Grimlock would make great Decepticon. Me Grimlock hate this praise. Reminds me of circumstances of how me Grimlock and my squad became Dinobots in the first place. Torn apart by Shockwave, reassembled in grotesque shapes, all while being awake and feeling it, and almost had my personality erased, to be turned into mindless weapon for Decepticons, avoiding this fate only through sheer willpower alone... Unlike other Dinobots, me Grimlock remember it all... It's...horrible...

...oh. That sounds awful... I'm sorry.

So it is.

...It's fine. Me Grimlock managed to come to terms with it, and came to appreciate this new dino-mode me Grimlock got. Way better than old tank mode me Grimlock had. But still, if me Grimlock ever see this purple one-eyed freak again, I will tear him apart! Make him feel the pain I endured! Force him to regret the day he decided to turn me into his twisted experiment!

I'm so sorry to hear that but I'm glad you made peace with what you are.
Yeah, I get that feeling too.

Indeed. Accepting such a thing is a great monument to one's character. That aside, your planned vengeance is also a remarkable goal... though, since I suppose this Shockwave is a machine, there would be no blood? More's the pity.

No blood, but energon will be spilled. Lots of energon. Me Grimlock will very enjoy slurping it down.

There's gotta be something that can be done about this war, right? Mind you, I'm currently busy maintaining and expanding a new factory, but can you tell me a bit about the driving social/economic forces behind the war?

Well, the reason why war still happens because Decepticons power-hungry and really want to control galaxy. And hate non-Cybertronian life. Like, they really hate it. Also, they hold strong grudge against Autobots and want them all gone. You can blame their leader Megatron for that. He's the one who hates Autobots the most (especially our leader Optimus Prime), and forces Decepticons to fight us.
Heck, us Autobots received reports that old Energon deposits were somehow refilled, meaning that now us Cybertronians no longer have to worry about energy crisis, but Decepticons not care. They want us Autobots gone, simply because us dare to survive for so long against them. Megatron really petty.

So, the Decepticons are power-hungry and egocentric, and at first the war was about this energon (side note - any chance you can synthesize that yourself?), but now it's just about power... How many Decepticons and Cybertronians are there, estimated? Do you know if the Decepticons spreaded propaganda? Also, you mentioned a grudge - what's that about?

Me Grimlock not know exact numbers of Cybertronians. But if me Grimlock guess, then it somewhere around many millions. Of the Decepticons, besides big names like Soundwave or Starscream, and including small name regular troops like Seekers, Vehicons, or Ground Soldiers, me Grimlock would guess about...close to hundreds of thousands at least.
As of propaganda, me Grimlock heard they employ it to convert more Cybertronians to their cause, but other times they employ slavery, brainwashment, or literally make new Decepticons by taking newly ignited sparks from hot spots
, putting them into constructed bodies, and forcing the newly made Cybertronians to fight in name of their cause.
And about the grudge, Megatron and Optimus have quite a history with each other. Me Grimlock not know much of details, but me Grimlock heard that they were friends before the war, back when Cybertron had that oppressive caste system which Decepticons abolished (they started out as freedom movement at first before they lost their way) until they got corrupt with power and became conquerors. And as of now, he hates us Autobots because us survive for very long time, and he took it as an insult.
Oh, and me Grimlock can't synthesize energon. Me Grimlock no scientist. Me Grimlock warrior.

The Decepticons took opposition against the cybertronians because of an unjust caste system, proceeding to force their ideology upon new members... bit of hypocrisy there.
Unfortunately, the best way that I can think of to fix the conflict is to starve the Decepticons of their resources, which might hurt their morale and cause them to surrender. Unfortunately, because from what I know, they have enough strength to defend various resource deposits, so starving them would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible.
How advanced is your kind's knowledge of psychology? With the right techniques, you might be able to convince some Decepticon leaders into discussing their ideology.
