CYBERTRON
Which side will you choose?As long as I can remember, war has been a constant among our kind.
There is talk of a time when there wasn't fighting, a 'golden' age they called it, when there were no factions. Only joy, peace, happiness.
Liars.
Happiness for a select few. Happiness for those with the rank, the wealth, to sit at the top and smile down on those less fortunate. Those who starved to death on the streets, whoms systems stuttered out and their sparks faded from their chests, had a very different view of this so called golden age. Their frames were left to rust on the streets after they expired. And why? Because they weren't of the proper class. It may have been a golden age for some, but definitely not a time of wonder and perfection as I hear others try to say it was.
No. There has always been fighting, whether it was hidden and discreet, or a full-fledged battle that destroyed homes, lives, and cities.
Our fight was so brutal, so intense and time expanding, that our own planet, our Cybertron, could not withstand it. In the fight for equality, in the battle for right, we were killing the very thing that gave us life. All we could do was continue on, continue in our violence to try and stop the wrong-doers. It was too painful to realize that in the course of us trying to do good, we were doing so much wrong at the same time. What would be the point of winning this war if it meant we had poisoned Cybertron?
Autobots. Decepticons.
Two factions, two groups led by two mechs whose names will be known throughout time and the galaxy. Which is right and which is wrong? Megatron is brutal, but Optimus Prime also has his flaws. Both want equality, though they have very different ways of trying to claim it. And now our species as a whole is divided, ruptured across our planet into two, bearing the red and purple of emblems upon our bodies to display who we think is right. We kill those that wear the other color, those who will kill us if we step into the line of sight. Those who are doing wrong, despite trying to do right. How do you choose?
The questions alway tumble back down all reasoning and facts to a few, simple, words.
Who are you willing to die for?
