\\\"The great Autobot leader was once named Orion Pax, a simple clerk in the Iacon Hall of Records. Learning of Cybertron\\\'s past, Orion grew concerned about the corruption affecting high places and the state of inequity in society. He became inspired by the revolutionary words of Megatronus, a gladiator who took his name from one of the thirteen original Primes. Megatronus gained a loyal following through his radical and innovative actions, Soundwave chief among their number.\\\"

That\\\'s it. That was Megatron\\\'s start, and the start of the Decepticons. Politics.

\\\"You\\\'re trying to make it sound like they\\\'re some sinister force that is just itching for an excuse to turn on Team Prime, which is not at all the case.\\\"

Now who\\\'s twisting whose words? The military isn\\\'t portrayed as some sinister force. Neither are they siding with the Autobots out of some shared belief in goodness and freedom. They\\\'ll help them, since they share a common enemy in the Decepticons, and if things come down to it, they\\\'ll terminate them. Or at the very least, evict them.

If you think I\\\'ve been trying to whitewash the Decepticons and demonize the Autobots, you haven\\\'t been reading a single word I\\\'ve said for the past week. It\\\'s an ancient, alien war between two factions, and while it\\\'s clear who we\\\'re supposed to like (the ones who don\\\'t believe in stepping on us or bowling over our planet), it allows for all the grey areas that come with war. All the heavy questions. It\\\'s also about the humans caught in the middle, and as I\\\'ve said, they\\\'re all over the place.

That\\\'s three diverse groups, even if you don\\\'t care to count the Insecticons.
