Sounds like a terrible idea based on the "rule of cool" rather than a thought out rationale.

The Decepticons intend to kill anything in their way and/or that they view as lesser creatures, of which, we are in their eyes.

That's like making a partnership with Satan because you think he respects you as a person.

While I agree it'd be a foolish idea, it could still make for an interesting story if there was an "evil kid" alongside the good ones. Though he'd inevitably pull a Sixth Ranger on us.

Man, one day I really should force myself to take the time, and educate myself on the Japanese side of G1. I don't know anything about it.

Yeah, they've done a lot of cool and crazy stuff over there.

Yes, "downloading info on the net" is the easy way, but Optimus prime and his crew are social enough to come out of their basements and actually MEET some people. That they make human friends and they want to stick around (even at the risk of a horrible, horrible death) is natural.

The only kind of human sidekick that get on my nerves is the "little kid who is such a genius, he can hack into the matrix with a stick".

My favorite kind of human sidekick? The ones that are... MORE than human. Like some who are becoming the head of a Transformers or the ones that where never really human to begin with...

Well, back in the 80's, they couldn't download the 'net like today. So it made even more sense then. But yeah, you're right. They need interaction and 'ambassadors' so people can tell the difference between 'bot and 'con.

I like the series but I cant stand that girl. She is annoying beyond belief. I would have liked it much better if they left her out.

Have we forgotten about Masterforce so soon?

Beat me to it!

Never heard of it. Either way, I'd still side with the Decepticons, and a series needs to have humans side with them out of fear. Because every one knows if you scare people enough, every one will fear you and follow you until you die, or you kill them.

Sorry for losing track of this and returning so late...

SlyTF1, Masterforce has the type of human characters you want. The Cons do scare some humans into following them, and there is a human who chooses to side with the Cons because he thinks they are way cooler than the Bots. This is my favorite post movie storyline of G1 for all of those reasons and then some. I highly recommend it.
