A to Z of Transformers Armada (100 Words) - The Leaders
Optimus Prime the Observant Organiser
As leader of the Autobots, Optimus found that organisation was integral when it came to planning missions. He realised that he was not only organising a battalion of Autobots, but a group of individuals, each with their own methods of entering battle, distinctive fighting styles, and unique strengths and weaknesses. Optimus was very observant, often taking realms of mental notes about the Autobots under his command, to ensure that their needs were fulfilled, that he utilised them most effectively in battle and out, and that overall, they were content in their positions, and with the duties that they were assigned.
Megatron the Malevolent and Malicious Monster
Megatron truly was a monster. A conqueror bent on conquest, Megatron thought of his soldiers as expendable, carelessly sending them on potentially suicidal missions. He criticised them often, his malevolence only greater for the Autobots than his own warriors. While many sought to please him, trying desperately to gain favour, Megatron rarely handed out praise, yet was first to deal with those that had failed, accidentally or otherwise, with malicious words that pierced the toughest armour around one's spark, and often with a brutal hand or gun blast to ensure the message was crystal clear: failure is not an option.
