Sadly, those seven words earn this issue the title of "Serious Epic Fail."

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Sunstreaker aware that it was Scorponok who was ultimately responsible for his "headmaster" conversion status? So all his angst should have been directed at the decepticons.........buuuut since the direct perpetrators well the organic bags of flesh. Oh and I second Darth Bombshell

What happens to Sunstreaker harkens back to a concept that was developed during the Furman run. Transformers arent just shells animated by sparks. They have their own type of DNA which means they have body systems like any other complex living organism that is able to feel pain . Clearly, they are able to take a lot of punishment and may be able to turn off the pain receptors to an area like when a limb a lost but that ability may be limited.

The fact that Sunstreaker is being chopped up while feeling every bit of it but seemingly cannot die from it or go into shock i.e. stasis lock as the result shows what kind of physical, emotional and mental trauma can turn a heroic (albeit flawed) being to madness and genocide.

So then who is ultimately responsible for turning Transformers away from being giant Robots to organic aliens? Furman, McCarthy, or Orci/Kurtzman?

They are not robots any more, they're posers. Haha.

They arent organic but they are more than high tech robots animated by a spark. They have CNA instead of DNA
