Good or Evil

[Mach33 819]

I haven't asked a question in a while, but this one just popped into my head. Anyone see those Transformers Films (G1, G2, Movies 1-4, etc), The peace keeping Autobots and the power hungry Decepticons. Autobots want freedom for everyone along with prosperity and a choice of path. The Decepticons wanting equality, no freedom, no prosperity and absolute control (quick, basic overview (My point of view)). Anyway, my question is, which one are you? Autobot (Good) or Decepticon (Evil (wanting control, and power)).

I'd classify myself as a junkion. Full of useless lines and entertaining in large doses. 

[Megas 28,129]

Most of my favorite Transformers are Autobots, so I'll go with them

[Brony Number 42 10,093]

Of course that is a biased question when you are asking if people identify as good or evil. I usually like to play or root for the good guys. But I have a problem with the autobots. I've seen most of the shows and a lot of the time the autobots don't do what they need to in order to win. A number of times, the autobots let the decepicons go free. And Optimus doesn't authorize necessary force in order to win. I would be so frustrated, I would go rogue.

for me it depends whats going on good and evil varies from bot to bot

Um, I'd undoubtedly be on the good guys' side, especially if they look cool and have a nice paintjob. A good paintjob matters; I tell myself that every time I put on my makeup in the morning.

Autobots probably, I didn't like any of the decepticons anyway except maybe Starscream, he was badass asfk

[ChocolateCrane 156]

There is NOTHING more important than freedom.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

I'm neutral, so I go to who ever has the fatter wallet... though I have morals as well... so maybe between neutral and good.

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

I actually don't care about Transformers... Never really did to be honest.

 

Nonetheless, I wouldn't be either cliché stereotypical good or bad. I would much rather be a sort of anti-heroine, that does whatever she believes is right.

[Yakamaru 3,132]

Good and evil? Such a limited view. You can't just label everything good and evil, you must take into consideration someone's views and ideological affiliation. You also have to allow grey zones, middle areas, etc. Nothing is absolute. Only idiots deal in absolutes.

 

Good, neutral, evil, a mix, what have you, is limited to your person, and your person alone. Everything else is relative and subjective up to certain points.

 

From your point something may seem cruel and evil, while from someone else's view it may not. Yes, we're touching on a bit of moral/ethical relavitism.

 

For instance, the Axis powers during the 2nd World War believed they were in the right, the good guys. And so did the Allies. Who determines what is right and wrong? Good and evil? The victors do.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

Does it have to be Transformers related? I don't really care about Transformers.

 

Neither, I'd be an anti-hero/lawful neutral and do whatever I think would benefit myself and others.

If that means breaking a couple laws and cracking a couple skulls, so be it.

[cmarston1 5,964]

I guess I would go with the Autobots and good, seeing how they are my favorite characters from the franchise.

Even if I don't strictly view myself as being either pure good or pure evil and see myself as more of a neutral with a bit of good mixed in.

While I don't particuarly care about transformers, I always tend to play on the side of evil. Taking control over what you want and how you want it, knocking down anyone blocking your way, refusing to obey those who believe that they are in control of you.....

 

Being a " good guy " is so drab and overdone. Why on Earth would I want to spend my life stopping those who are doing bad things just because " it's my responsibility ". I would much rather take what I want as a villain than have to make do with having to be grateful with what I was given as a hero. Heroes generally don't get as much power as villains, that's just how it is.

 

Not to mention that Villains get outfits which are SO much more glamourous!!!

Sometimes, the "Pragmatic Hero" TV Trope is sorely needed.

I'm not really into transformers myself but if I had to say I'd say I'm on the side of evil. I think evil's goals are more challenging and subsequently rewarding than that of good. Plus, I was never really a good guy. I only care about myself and the people closest to me, I do not concern myself with everyone and everything. I'd say I even dislike most others and avoid them altogether, certainly not fighting for them.

[Moony the Cat 3,707]

I would say, im on the good side, because the bad ones honestly scare me sometimes.

[Bari 7,023]

I'm definitely not an evil person, but I love the Decepticons. They get most of the war machines, purple colors, and they're just generally cooler. The Autobots are too soft, bright, and round.

[TBD 17,274]

I'm going rogue, not a autobot nor a decepticon. 

I think there a name for a certain bots that is neither a autobot or a decepticon. I dont remember, it's been a while since I watched the old animation.  if not, then they should.

[EpicEnergy 23,247]

I'd probably be an Autobot most of the time, but every once in awhile I'd act like a Decepticon.
