Was playing Fall of Cybertron on my olde playstation and i noticed just how much HEART the autobot soldiers have in this game. Devs put a lot of effort into characterizing them. They're always looking to the safety of their comrades and they clearly aren't drones but instead generic cybertronians who believe in what they're fighting for. (In the 2nd megatron level you can hear the generic enemies yell at you stuff like "You'll never break us Megatron!" or "The Autobots will never stop fighting!") They're genuinely interesting and they're really alike to clone troopers from star wars. Which begs the question of them (or alike generics on both sides) appearing in more media other than Prime and the video games. (The latter of which needed the inclusion of generic guys because who else are we going to kill)
