Been thinking about whirl lately lmfao likeā¦that āautobot voted most likely to defect 2 years in a rowā really gets me bc
1) as though all Morally Badā¢ ppl belong on the ācons side. There are no mean ppl on the autobots side, no siree
2) as though whirl is Morally Badā¢ for being the hyper violent killing machine heās been told since creation ppl wanted him to be. As though heās Morally Badā¢ for doing exactly what the autobots wanted of him
3) honestly Iāve gotta wonder why he was singled out as the worst autobot, like what did he do exactly? Bc maybe heās a violent and abrasive piece of shit who likes to get a rise out of ppl, but youāre telling me thereās no one else in the wreckers, the fucking wreckers, as bad as him. What made everyone decide he was the worst their faction had to offer? Bc thatās a pretty heavy insult if you think about it. Thatās basically declaring thereās no one less committed to the cause or who matches up more with their demonized veiw of the enemy than whirl
3) lmfao imagine how good that musta felt, knowing that everyone hates you that much they practically think of you as an enemy who just happens to be on thier side. No wonder he felt so disconnected and alone. No wonder he was planning on killing himself at the end of the war. They were probably set on putting him back in prison anyway right? Bc the 5 seconds we saw of how prison was for him was really fun right?
4) speaking of which, as though thereās something wrong with him for not adjusting to civilian life when he never fucking had a civilian life to go back to that wasnāt forcibly torn from him. He probably can barely imagine what itd be like to have his hands again. He canāt imagine making watches again. Its still his dream but it was only even remotely a reality to old whirl, and old whirl is a few million years dead and gone
5) oh and this is the part that REALLY gets me, bc likeā¦he literally never was in the position to be a ācon. He never COULD defect if you really think about it. When he worked for the functionalists, he was a dirty cop. He finally got caught and thrown in prison for beating up megatron, back when he was a peaceful protestor. Iām sure the ācons would just welcome him with ~open arms~ if he tried to join them. and lets not forget that he was put in that situation bc of the same government the autobots worked for. he could never defect from the autobots, he literally had nowhere else to go. He was practically molded into a solider for thier cause. That musta just added insult to injury knowing ppl think of him that way and, bc the universe loves beating him over the head with cruel irony, he couldnāt even become a decepticon if he wanted to.
The autobotsā side made him who he is, and theyāre perfectly willing to use him as a weapon of war, but when it comes to who he actually is theyāre more than happy to distance themselves from him bc they see him as some type of imperfection that theyād prefer to wash their hands of. And THAT, my good friends, is fucked up
