Same as Bay movies. Prime is immune to everything. Now he has a friggin minigun!
Not that I wasn't expecting this. No transformers story will ever yield to Decepticons or let them have a good time. They can't, Hasrbo is not capable of doing it. It's actually funny, they cannot.
No offense, but...

Not only did he ruin Cybertron's fate AGAIN!
Can't "ruin" what's already dead, buddy.

Omega Lock.

3 + billions more on Earth.

What threat? Cybertron's already a lifeless, abandoned, husk of a planet.
budmaloney wrote:Oh don't worry , there will always be a Forge or some magic item that would restore Cybertron, we just haven't told you about it yet.
So, you complain about them not being able to restore the dead planet, and will again when they can? There's no leasing you, is there?
budmaloney wrote:"Is the future of our race not worth a single human life?" replace it with 3 human lives, or even 1 cybertronian life.
Nothing Cybertronian was ever at stake. The only things that were ever in jeopardy with the Omega Beam were billions and billions of innocent human lives and a political advantage. To say that an entire world of lifelessness is worth more than at least the former is a heartless and cruel thing to say.

Shows that he's finally thinking rationally isntead of being the selfish jerk that he was before. Had he been there on Cybertron with them during the scuffle with the Omega Lock, he would have understood what was done back then was necessary and wouldn't have spoken out of line like he did.

1. Optimus is one of Ratchet's oldest and good friends. You really think Ratchet's that cold to want his friend dead?
2. Restoring the planet won't restore the race. Word's gotta get out first that the planet is healed before everyone can start heading back home. And with thousands of years having passed since the Great Exodus, there's no way everyone's gonna all come back at once. Anyone thinking that simply healing the planet will restore the entire race back to its glory days is fooling themselves.
budmaloney wrote:This time with the forge, the Autobots could have traveled back to Cybertron and repaired the key with no interference from anyone.
Um, no. The Cons are the only ones with access to a space bridge. The Autobots would have to go through them first, and they would most definitely provide plenty of "interference".
budmaloney wrote:Granted it would only be Ratchet and Smokescreen alive. But they would revive Cybertron. Having a new Cybertron will have new Cybertronians, who may be educated about the great war and not repeat it. Perhaps even come back to Earth and stop Megatron.
Like I said, it is far from that easy. To think otherwise is a pipe dream.
