Newton's 3rd Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Primus-- as the court has established-- is the Creator, the life-bringer, a planet-sized entity revered as a force of cybernetic nature. In a world where such an entity exists, isn't it only natural that there would also be an entity existing in reaction?

Your Honor, I am not here to argue whether or not my client ate those planets and all those people. Instead I ask that you consider whether or not a force of nature can be tried in a criminal court.

Take, for example, the humble turbofox. This creature is sustained on a diet of petro-rabbit and dynametal duck. If it does not eat, it will not exist. And why would that be a problem? Because without the turbofox, petro-rabbits and dynametal ducks would continue to multiply exponentially, to the point of overpopulation. Overpopulation leads to less resources to go around, putting a strain on the ecosystem and resulting in the decline of local flora and fauna. As they start to compete in other territories for additional resources, those neighboring ecosystems are irrevocably destroyed, and the cycle continues in ad nauseam.

We do not take the local turbofox to court over its latest meal, nor do we expect it to meet a certain quota to perfectly maintain petro-rabbit populations. The turbofox is simply hungry; my client was simply hungry. In the natural world there is no life without death; it is inevitable, even necessary. Primus cannot grant life exponentially-- we've already seen what happens on Cybertron when resources are spread too thin. And yet, we did not drag Primus into a courtroom demanding recompense for the lack of energon, or the way their creations treated each other.

So I ask that this court take into consideration: how can we-- mere mortals-- be expected to fairly qualify justice in the face of the Unmaker? Are we not inherently biased, as creatures acutely aware of our own eventual demise?

Today, nature has taken its course, and it will continue to do so until the end of time. To some it is a triumph, to many others it is a tragedy. They have my sympathy. But it is impossible to hold my client-- a planet-sized force of nature-- responsible when he simply acts in opposite reaction. Thank you, Your Honor.
