So the war on Velocitron started because Cars were Racist towards Motorcycles? Optimus what the hell??

In my head cannon, the books are like long gone corrupted history with propaganda creeping the real history (which is probably why ransack was referred to as large)

the more i learn about aligned lore the more i realize that it’s a story of the cruel crushing the weak who tries to change the system

"The less combat-ready Perceptor" is a choice, too.

Optimus thinking vehicle mode is rude also a weird choice, as Bay Optimus does the same thing in a mood and in some continuities Autobot Tracks is a bit mode attached, apparently a known state.

So if there was a systemic divide between four wheeled and two wheeled velocitronians, what would that mean for 3 wheelers like crumplezone?

I never noticed how biased the perspectives were in Exiles! Great catch. I’m interested in paying attention to that during my next reread. Fascinating video!!

This reminds me of the video where you talk about how decepticon are treated as the villains but yet its the Autobots who where enslaving the decepticon. So this is yet another reason why the Autobots are the bad guys.

What if Optimus's regret over how poorly he handled the situation on velocitron is why in tfp he refuses to let human governments and the miltary get involved with the war and why the autobots stay undercover

The writer of this or these books didn't know how Optimus should be.
