You have a good point about the propaganda thing. I wrote a fic where the 'cons have been given horrible rumours about the 'bots (started by the 'cons to discourage defections)but yes, propaganda will ALWAYS go two ways. Of course, G1 was written for children, wghich simplified the war as a clear "good vs.evil" war. I love writing about the decepticons actually having morals, feelings or whatever..they are still people, not monsters with no spark.(despite any propaganda suggesting otherwise!) I AM a 'bot fan (I know biased as I'm human and Cons don't seem to LIKE humans.) but I do have that side of me that likes the 'Cons too, and I NEVER saw myself heading towards Starscream Fangirl-ism, but despite my best efforts to stop it..it's happening....
And I'm thinking that Megs Orogin details how the war started, but I feel that over the eons the real reason it started has all been forgotten and the issues they fight over are quite different. After all, I write in Movieverse and Megsy certainly doesn't seem to be fighting for the totally downtrodden there - he just seems to want to conquer and destroy.
