I have an issue with Pharma apologists. The worst apologists will blame Ratchet for Pharma but ship Tarnma. Or excuse Pharma’s actions with “oh he was just trying to save people” when he wound up trying to kill EVERYONE and save himself with his rust plague.
“Pharma didn’t deserve that!”
He’s a fictional character whose narrative purpose was to be an antagonist and symbolize medicine gone wrong. If anything, his patients who died from the bioweapon he made didn’t deserve what he did.
“But Ratchet was a bad friend took his hands!”
Pharma was trying to kill Ratchet so I don’t give a damn. Also you think that justifies torturing someone instead of just stealing back those hands? Sawing Ambulon in half?
Frankly, the second most hateful thing about Pharma is how he never goes after Tarn, the direct root of his suffering, but on people who trusted him, who were Autobots like him. But the first hate thing are his fans who justify his actions.
