That was plain silliness, sorry let's see if I can get back on track...
the theories in your friend's work sound interesting. Especially when you look at a society that obviously has a complicate class/caste system with heavy ritualistic tendencies, visible in titles bestowed, and even a language difference between the groups. They in my opinion seem to have more of a collective culture than an individualistic on, with how much of their society and how much of a character's identity is their group.
I sort of wish that the Decepticons in Bayverse have more reason to be a different faction than "Our leader went crazy after talking with a ghost," perhaps more of the slant that we see in the comic from another verse, Megatron Origins, in regards to the want to remove a restrictive class system. Humans from individualistic cultures if presented with that reason would have inclination to support that cause.
