There are a lot of little lines in TFA that sort of tip you off that something isnt quite right with the "heroic autobots" and it just gets more pronounced once you've noticed it. Like everything about Optimus's speech in the first episode. "We're all cogs in the great big autobot machine." Emphasizing the needs of the collective over everything else (and notice that this is apparently something he says a lot. Something he's internalized). "Don't try to be a hero, it's not in your programming." Idk bro sounds like functionism to me. But probably the most unsettling line is Ratchet's implication that they can just.. delete emotions. Just run a program and bam! That feeling of dissatisfaction with your lot in life? Gone. Thats a big old red flag if Ive ever seen one.

I would also like to add that the protectobots which would later become the autobots, after the first war, canonically deleted massive amounts of historical documents to and I quote "Remove all undesirable elements and information from society" -Allspark almanac 2

*sniff sniff* smells kinda fishy in here..🤔

Another red flag is that in Autobot society, the society comes before your own personal needs and wants.

Individualism is treated like a second thought and discouraged because thinking your own thoughtz leads to someone questioning the regime as a whole. I wonder what they would do had Optimus comes to questioning the regime earlier since the seeds are there.

Another huge red flag: The way Autobots treat prisoners.

For one, this?

This is horrible.

Yes, Blitzwing is a war criminal, but they’re treating him more like a trophy than a real bot. He’s gagged, he’s wearing stasis cuffs in his cell, which is humiliating and wholly unnecessary and Jetstorm takes a picture with him as if he’s a novelty.

When the Elite Guard arrives on Cybertron he’s paraded around and shown off with big fanfare, so everyone can see how superior the Autbots are to him and his faction.

There is zero dignity or respect for your enemies here.

And, hey, remember Wasp?

That teenager who got thrown into prison because of very minimal evidence that he might be a spy? And tortured until he lost his mind?

Keep in mind by the Autobot’s standards he was barely an adult.

Yet he was still convicted without a trial, without further investigation, simply because a fellow trainee who didn’t like him accused him of being a traitor and the commanding officer accepted it without question. He was literally carted off in front of his friends, with zero discretion and had his insignia pulled off in the same manner, while begging to be listened to.

And when it turned out he was innocent, the Elite Guard still wanted to throw him back into the Stockade, because they didn’t want to admit to the public that they made a mistake.

Yeah, the Autobots are just as messed up as the Decepticons are.

TFA is way darker than I remembered even before Season 3.

Also the entire deal with the Jettwins. They were in a horrible accident while on the job as energon refiners and were selected to be reformatted with Starscream's CNA to become the first flying Autobots.

A reformat that they were incapable of consenting to.

Not to mention that when selecting subjects for Project Safeguard, Ultra Magnus said "Find me someone expendable."

That's absolutely chilling, you guys.

FINALLY, I SEE SOMEBODY TALK ABOUT THIS !!!!

And that's not even getting onto Arcee who got her memories wiped they then proceeded to probe her mind to see if they can find anything, left even though she was in a catatonic state and could not consent because (as previously mentioned) she was in a catatonic state.

Along with omega supreme being specifically designed to have the mind of a child so that he would be easily manipulated and taught to become a killing machine, which is insane. And it was ultra Magnus himself that said that.

#cook‼️#omega supreme is especially disturbing to me #tfa
