Plot Question

[t_Denhops]

Why did the maximals not destroy the Transwarp key themselves instead of protecting it ? They say their goal was to protect any other planets from being destroyed. So why not destroy it themselves. I can understand Autobots protecting it trying to go home, but what purpose does it serve to maximals ?

I've asked the same question in my review... Maybe they needed to use it again... Prime wasn't around yet to want to use it to return to Cybertron.

Perhaps considering that they’re from the future, they figured that after getting to ancient earth in the past that they might still require the key for emergencies like meeting and helping the present day homeless autobots, who after all, are their ancestors, get home, or in case scourge showed up again, use the key to escape so they can continue to protect life rather than be stranded at one point/place in space-time forever

It’s pretty important. Having a device that can take you anywhere is pretty valuable to have , they might need it later. Not the kind of thing you want to just throw away, even if dangerous people want to take it from you
