If it's G1, we're hosed.

The only thing that might rescue us is that unless they actually crash here, the G1 tfs might view the outer planets (full of H) or Titan (fill with methane lakes, totally unlike God Gambit) as much better sources of easy energy than Earth, giving us safety for many more years.

This made me ponder a question: if we take this OP by different continuities, how would it turn out? Certainly, some of the Megatrons were much more successful than others in causing mayhem and taking steps in overtaking the planet.

Well, if it´s RID Megatron, we can just sit it out. We wouldn´t even need Autobots.

I keep thinking to 'The Ultimate Doom' and 'Revenge of Bruticus' and really, G1 animated could provide some choice doomsday scenarios for civilization and humanity as a whole.

Abosolutely. In fact, the entire course of any Decepticon invasion, human resistance to it, and many other aspects of this battle will be determine by the continuity of the Decepticons. Two examples:

Cartoon G1: The Decepticons can basically survive anywhere but the Sun. They can get the energon they need from any source they want, so they could get fuel from anywhere. So G1 can invade anywhere, anytime they want to. If they wanted to just kill off a majority of humans, they just need a couple of asteroids into the ocean, the resulting tsumanis and "impact winter" would do most the work for them.

TF Prime: Different circumstances. The Decepticons have a different diet and can only seem to get energon in a mineral form, so have get it before they starve. Also, these Decepticons have problems with extreme cold, so humans can hide in say Siberia for at least winter. Also, once people discover the Decepticons dietary habits, they can destroy nearby energon supplies, making it more a pain for the Decepticons to stay here. Also, because the TF Prime Decepticons are weather wimps, causing a "impact winter" with asteroids will render big chunk of Earth inhospitable for them, so they think twice about hurling asteroids into the ocean, taking away an useful doomsday attack.

I'd ask to be turned into a headmaster. Sweet new cyborg body PLUS additional giant robot body that can also turn into a vehicle PLUS someone who is always there for you to bother? That's a win/win/win scenario as far as I am concerned. I'd also never have to worry about paying rent.

Ditto over here, especially on the rent thing! Only interference is the fact that i'm NOT dropping out of college, interstellar war or not... i'll fight the good fight after my classes are done for the day. :J

Time for a 'giving head' innuendo?
