I suppose it is accurate to say that he is the same as any other megalomaniac that's ever wanted to conquer Cybertron. He has incited violence, lied and tricked his way towards a powerful artifact, used that artifact to enslave his own people, and put me in a fighting pit where I spent hours fighting for my life until I was rescued by Autobots and Decepticons alike.

[He's over all this, so explaining the torturous experience of being violently beaten for hours is hardly anything.]

However, the difficult thing about this is that he is from a point just before he commits all these atrocities and I come from a point long after. As of the time he is from, he has done virtually nothing wrong.
