>>6545586>his tech spec bio makes him sound like an unappealing asshole to be around.That's exactly what makes him so interesting. He's a dick. A villain. A sadistic, treacherous, brutal piece of filth. He is stated to be worse than many Decepticons.
But he is an Autobot. WHY???
I don't mean 'why do the Autobots keep him' because it's a good idea to have a guy who will do fucking ANYTHING to get the job done. Sometimes it's just... absolutely necessary.
Imagine the scene.
Ultra Magnus is interrogating some Decepticon. But he won't break. He's laughing at him.
D: "Fool of an Autobot! I'd die for Megatron. I'd die with a smile!"
UM: "That is just the fear of the DJD talking. But they aren't here."
D: "Ha! You don't even understand loyalty, Auto-scum. And my loyalty to Megatron is unquestionable."
UM: "This room is completely isolated. Nothing gets in or out. You can speak freely."
D: "Even if it were only that - the DJD would get me, no matter what. I'll never - "
UM: "We can protect you. Just tell us what we need to know, and we'll get you to one of the core worlds. Even their reach - "
D: "Just shut up. You insult my loyalty AND my good sense, you clump of rust. Hail Megatron!"
UM: "Okay, then I guess you're up, Repugnus - "
R: "Hello, little guy."
D: "Can I get some pen and paper?"
