What do you think a Shattered Glass version of the Energon Universe would look like?
(Shattered Glass is Transformers' canonical mirror universe, where bad guys are good and vice versa, and character traits tend to be somehow reversed)
How would you do the story and the characters?
The few ideas I have are that Optimus intentionally stomps the deer, and also kills Bumblebee early on to make an example of him to the rest of his crew. Thundercracker would probably defect to the Autobots, maybe after he thinks he Cons have no hope of winning (more selfish motive, as opposed to canon's more moral one).
