#the sentience of humans wasn’t even a factor in his decision to respect them

[primal-con]

Having thoughts about sentience, inorganics, the inherent value of life, and the human factor because the way Transformers talks about it genuinely fucks me up sometimes

#transformers #optimus prime #my designs #first time I draw OP as a robot and I don’t even draw his face lmao #anyways #the way Megatron and by extension the Decepticons don’t even consider humans worth their time #because they’re at war and everything is a resource #and where’s the merit in a small fleshy creature that barely lives a century #whereas Optimus and by extension the Autobots #immediately recognize the value in human life #because that’s literally his whole thing is that all life is equal #till all are one #so human lives are worth as much as Cybertronian ones #the sentience of humans wasn’t even a factor in his decision to respect them #and the way various characters come to this conclusion all across canon?? #idk I’m having Thoughts tonight
