So, I have been thinking about this interview with James Roberts, and two bits really struck me: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/comics-16/new-james-roberts-interview-writing-transformers-mtmte-and-more-179313/
"With Cyclonus and Whirl, I wanted characters who were more Decepticon than Autobot, even if Cyclonus is non-affiliated and Whirl, as you say, is an Autobot (although it’s hinted that Optimus recruited him purely to ‘claim’ him before the Decepticons did)."
This bit makes me ask, 'Why not outright Decepticons, then?'
"The Lost Light is crewed by decent- if flawed and wayward- Autobots, and I needed a few wild cards in there."
Decent? Really? He has a funny idea of what 'decent' means...
Anyway, there will be spoilers for MTMTE and probably RiD but also the old Ongoing and Autocracy, but I was talking with some friends about what it might have been like if there actually had been an integrated Decepticon crew from the start of MTMTE...
