I think at least with Furman's Expansion we would have gotten something a lot more interesting that CHAOS or Dark Cybertron

If so he was 9n course for that judgment till getaway happened and then the djd attack. Also prime let it happen because that's who prime is. Had he ordered megs to die then he would be no better, killing isn't justice. Now maybe you would have preffered that they had his spark contained but then again would that have worked with his strange body work after dark cybertron?

I think that speaks more to the contrived means of his "surrender". A publicly made propaganda speech, renouncing himself and his actions. The -Ations said it best, the only difference between the two factions in IDWverse is the brands they wear. Every planet that fell was crushed between the two factions, in equal measure. Everything other than one side achieving supremacy was deemed acceptable losses, to Megatron and Prime.

Of course not, that is why they made him "Auto-Megatron". In the same respect as they didn't know how to "end" a four million year civil war of attrition, so you got faux peace instead.
Rodimus vs. Getaway! Finally!

Among other things, the Autobots didn't engage in the infiltration process, which led to the extinction of myriad organic species through the Phase Six onslaught. Guys... this is textbook false equivalency, come onAllNewSuperRobot wrote:

Yeeeeeah... specious reasoning there. See above.

Cute but no
When you actually read between the lines of what's in print, your entire counterpoint is based on the premise that the Autobots were not just as equally entrenched in the same worlds as the Decepticons. Which is nonsense.
They were on these worlds together. The Autobots were never fighting to free these worlds, they were fighting the Decepticons on just another battlefield. Each trying to hamper the resources of the other. The inhabitants of each world were irrelevant to both sides, a means to an end.
Think back to their discussions on Phase Six, the Autobots were sketchy on the details, because by that point they had already written off that particular front and moved onto the next.
Again, this isn't me pulling out silly ideas out of thin air, this is based on the printed page. Interesting to read none the less, but you're wrong in your assumptions.

It would be interesting and a good call back, but I think much like Gigatron, we won't be seeing him again in this continuity.
