I started thinking about how Optimus from the Bayverse preferred to cause the extinction of his own race rather than let the Decepticons get their hands on the AllSpark… I mean, I know the Bayverse Decepticons are complete demons, no doubt about it, but choosing to condemn your own race to disappearance and committing suicide in the process… mmm…
And on the other hand, there's Elita-1 (Skybound), who, from what I understand, is willing to let Earth go down the drain to save Cybertron… I have a feeling that if these two met, they'd have a pretty intense fight… Although, in the end, they're equally unhinged, imo
I think Elita-1 gets more hate because she wanted to sacrifice Earth, and Optimus Bayverse didn't, so people empathize with him more because, well, we live on Earth plus, Prime basically only sacrificed the future of his species, not ours, so most people let it slide easier
(I just realized that Elita-1 is basically going through the same thing as Optimus Bayverse, just in reverse… that's wild )Don't mind me, I'm just a teenager who wanted to share her opinion about Elita-1 and how her situation reminds me of Bayverse Optimus, who also got criticized and called a psychopath back in the day
