That's why they're the Protectobots!
Optimus Prime defeats Megatron in a video game, but kills a bunch of cute little NPCs too.
Prime is so damn noble that he forfeits the game and is BLOWN UP, as he and Megatron agreed the loser would die. The fact that Megatron used a cheat code and would have lost without it is completely ignored. I get the idea here - killing innocents goes against Prime's principals so he won't even allow himself to do it in a simulation - but surely Prime should have asked for a fair rematch instead of letting himself be fucking blown up!
