I don't agree with the content of the first panel. I don't think Autobots would do this.
I mean even we humans have rules how to treat wounded. And to help them is a general rule by the Geneva Convention I.

But art is good.

It's the kind of Autobots described by IDW since Megatron: Origin.
You get to see such fanatics in LSotW and other stuff by Roberts :(

but but, it's good, IDW is doing great, it's been a 6 milion or something year war, there can't be pure evil and good in it, it's a reality of any war, crazy stuff happens in good guy's side too. they are all guilty to a point.

Not like that: what's the point of being Autobot, if you act exactly like Decepticons and hold on to no ideals at all?
Just join them and put and end to the war, if there are no differences at all.

the execution camps is toofar, but in war crazy people join the ranks aswell, they might be great warriors but behavioural they might be damaged or something. i don't think IDW has gone too far, they are making it a bit more realistic, just like when fortmax killed those 2! or idk, magnus, he's kind of a fanatic, a few more steps and he'll act like one, just like prowl.
sometimes sticking too much to an ideal makes trouble. (unless at the end of the day prowl turns out to be right and ruin all my yaapings... XD)

Yes, of course. But here it looks like this would be promoted and wanted by officials. I can see why you did it. But I don't like it too much.

Oh, ok: but you should see Unknown Soldiers as a generic, "non aligned" universe, where everything can happen.
Any continuity can be referenced, as this belongs to none: hence, the OCs.

hm, but then it's not neccessary to divide Autobots from Decepticons; ok there might be (there are for sure) also not so good Autobots (which is totally clear). But killing wounded POW with orders or at least toleration from the higher ranks? (That was my first impression of that panel at least.)

Probably they are not as firmly controlled as you might think.
Maybe the executioners are a splinter faction, which enforces their own rules.
Those being executed are the Real Autobots.

It's open for interpretation. Maybe a bit too open. But that's not sooo important. ;)
