Primus, why am I posting here again....
Against one point in your last post, Captain America just like Superman did fight Hitler, but it was a different context. Those characters were used in the time BEFORE America was drawn into WW2. This was partly done as a protest by comic writers and artists at the fact that while other countries were already fighting against the Axis, America played the "it doesn't involve us" card right up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. After the attack, they then were again involved in the war effort along side US Troops in stories written during the later conflicts.
Now then, had transformers been created at that time, yes it would make sense for stories to possibly follow your ideas, but this far after the fact, it's just bad form.
Also remember that had stories been written at that time we likely would not have your cube idea as it wasn't until after the fact when allied forces started to find and free the remaining survivors of the camps that the west truly became aware of the full horror that that had been done by German forces in the name of the Third Reich.
Now Crabs if you haven't already, please go read the TF/Joe crossover by Dreamwave, to see why many of us are satisfied with their WW2 themed story they did.
As for Megs being a Luger, big deal because again it's happening way after the point, just as Bumblebee and Bugbite are VW Bugs doesn't imply a allegiance between the Nazis and either The Autobots or the Renegades. Beyond that, the fact is that Megatron was not a Luger at all. Megatron is a Walther P-38. A weapon developed in Nazi controlled Germany but manufactured up to the 1990's and still in use today, And beyond the Nazis it was also used by the French Resistance as well. Now as far as Megs is concerned, he was initially released under the Japanese Microman line as the "MC13 Gun Robo - P38 U.N.C.L.E" (notice no reference in the name to Walther) as a reference to the TV show The Man from U.N.C.L.E. where the P-38 was used by agents of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement, against the terrorist organization THRUSH, Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity.
