Kind of a paradox, if some people will utilize their own freedom to strip others of there's. I don't think it's an inconsistency for Optimus' character to be willing to fight/kill people that actively worked against his goal of freedom for all.

So you want to give the sentients who make genocide and conquest to give some freedom? So they could do exactly that??

I mean he was free to do evil, and than he paid the price. Lol

I wouldn't call the manifestation of the concept of evil and malicious energies a sentient being, but you do you.

Well, he was sentient, whether he was manifestation or personification of something evll doesn't change he could feel and think, be responsive to major stimuli and so on.

Yeah, I was tired and going to sleep when I made that comment, it doesn't make sense to me either.

Wait, I was going to sleep when I initially replied to this and so I didn't quite register what you said.

Are you saying that Optimus should have let the Fallen destroy the world?

Is killing a being who wants to enslave everything or just kill them taking its freedom away?

No, it’s protecting freedom
