Ironic you should say that. You Autobots always felt you were superior to us, so why are you so surprised that we feel the same way about you? It works both ways or have you forgotten that with you self rightous arrogance?
You can regret the war all you want, but your a fool for doing so. War is what brings change, what forces a civilization to advance and expand. Peace only brings about stagnation.
I suppose it would depend on whom you asked whether or not a Decepticon is superior to an Autobot or vice versa. Even amongst humans, who we try to protect, you would get black, white and shades of gray. It's more a matter of opinion, and of course I would feel that Autobots were superior to Decepticons.
You don't need War to bring about change. Change is inherent. Scientists get curious. They experiment and play; satisfy their curiosity about how things work. You could ask your own Air Commander about being a scientist, about that drive to discover and make something easier, or bring about a better understanding of the 'why' so we can circumvent a problem. You don't need War to make this happen, simply curiosity.
Peace brings about more useful changes than war. I shouldn't be surprised that you would see that as stagnation.
OOC - What’s your take on the Cybertron wars? If you don’t mind my asking? It’s in everyone's programming to believe they are greater then everyone else. Your precious flesh bags are perfect examples of this. They slaughter each other even more then we do and for a lot less cause to back them up. Yet you and your foolish mech's risk your existence to protect them? As if we're really doing anything different then they already do to themselves
( ... )
((OOC: My take? I don't have any deep philosophical views, so I hope that's not what you're asking. ;) They made for a fun cartoon, how's that?))
War affects the quality and direction of an invention. Something that could be constructive is turned to destruction instead. What could have built a city, instead turns a continent to rubble. How is that advancement? How does that work for the better? It doesn't.
Humans and Cybertronians alike are always at conflict because of personalities like yourself. Take this world's Hitler, for example. You both would wipe out races different from yourselves in the name of bettering society, creating a perfect empire, and all you both really do is destroy.
Freedom is a precious thing, and there will always be someone, somewhere, ready to fight you for the right to have it.
