True, that would be different and interesting, but I really wouldn't like it too much. I mean, if it’s something like Prime making a mistake and growing older and wiser for it, then I'm down with that. But, if it's something like Prime being an Autobot tyrant or just doing something plain not nice on purpose, then its not really the larger than life character that we've all come to know and love.

No I don't mean Prime was a tyrant but that he removed one from power. The Decepticons could even turn out to be the supporters of the defeated dictator who wouldn't accept the new, more nicey nice Autobot regime.

He just stood in the middle of the road, let that truck slam into his leg, then just peered through the window and left, leaving the driver to bleed to death. The other G1 Prime's would probably have taken the driver to a hospital.

Either way, I prefer Prime to have a darker side to him. In the toon, he was too 'squeaky clean' for my tastes. I prefer characters with an edge, one's you aren't quite sure what they are gonna do next. Perhaps that's why I prefer the cons.

Yeah, a little 'edge' isn't too bad here and there for Prime.
