>>8399163>It’s all foundation level semantics that ensures the general flow of the story to still be ‘Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons’, just without any uncomfortable ethical dilemma created by a writer being autistic about robots. Some are girls, they can choose to be evil, now lets shoot lasers at each other.EXACTLY!
Freedom is the right of all Sentient (really should be Sapient) beings, if the Decepticons need to be wiped out on a level other than Ideological, then you are undermining the very thing that makes the "Good" robots the Good guys in the first place.
