Anyone else fascinated by this concept? Sort of like a Geneva Convention. Personally, I've always felt the concept of "Rules of War" a bit silly since, because it's war, it's really a matter of survival and you do what you do to survive. Besides, the worse forces always disobey those rules anyway.
My point, without getting political, is how does this work in the Transformers universe? What kinds of codes of conduct do they have? If SixShot can run around detroying worlds, and Megatron can order the eradication of entire planets, but neither are considered breaking that code, what is? What about what Bludgeon tried to do with Thunderwing in Stormbringer? What about what Shockwave was up to? Who decided on these rules and why? Is Magnus the only one that persecutes them?
Who is the Decepticon High Justice that Magnus references at the end of his spotlight? Who's involved and how does it work? Are they equal or above Megatron? Does he follow rules of these mandates?
Anyway, I'm just curious how you all feel about these and if you're as fascinated as I am. I think it's an awesome idea that I'd love to see expanded upon.
