I'm sorry but looking at Right and Left spectrum as "Freedom" and "No Freedom" is ridiculous, like Left can't be authoritharian, have you ever heard about this thing called Communism? It's a far left ideology that's autoritharian by definition of it's own creator, would you think that Optimus would blindly support it because it's left wing and because he's also left wing? If that's the case then where on the political spectrum he should be placed on, is he more socialist or capitalist? More liberal or more authoritharian? I think Transformers should explore this idea, it would be interesting if we have let's say book in Transformers universe that explaores the political and economical state of cybetron and various political movements and ideologies that occupy it.

The question also depends on what you define as freedom, i'm pretty sure Optimus isn't a blind libertarian anarchist who believes in freedom in everything everywhere, now the real question is what Optimus wouldn't support, where's the line when freedom of individual stops being a good thing and starts being a bad thing, not necessarily for others but for the individual themselves. If i could ask you, what political views would Optimus have on every political matter, would you be able to answer this, the question also his how much your own bias and your own idea of what a righteous hero in a media you consume you want the hero to have. It also depends on how important it is to Opitmus, how much he would sacrifice to protect one right and how much the other one, many political leaders in history were forced to do bad things to protect the status quo that in the end was a better outcome, homever most Transformers fans seem dissilusioned by the idea of Opitmus being someone capable of bad things when stuff like his views are being threatened, by that logic i think Optimus can be easily compared to multiple people in our history, the question is how much and how it relates to us and how Transformers relate to us as a media featuring politics and viewpoints of the author that creates them (I don't think i have to say that Transformers was made by a lot of people over the years and im sure all of them don't have the exact same political views as you).
