Transformers Bunny Farm

I've always been intrigued by how the Decepticon-Autobot war got started, and I tend to bend canon to near unrecognizable proportions in order to play with it. However, I've always seen the war as more civil-war type conflict, rather than revolutionary, especially in 2007 movieverse, since there, Megatron and Optimus Prime were co-rulers. Motives for revolution are generally the same: hope, ambition, greed, fear, lust, envy, hatred of order, fanatic fervor, love of destruction. This certainly works in 'verses other than 2007 movie (at least in my mind). Though, like I said, for movieverse, I see the conflict as civil war: the result of two uncompromising positions in a dispute related to culture, government, religion, and so on and so on. The American Civil War of course, being an example, with South Carolina leading the secession--quite similar to Megatron's break from Optimus. My favorite quote that summarizes the very beginning of war: "What followed had less to do with a state of war than with a state of hysteria."

But I do like your thoughts, and I shall attempt to play with them. Way to prompt discussion and fic ideas! ^_^
