is it strange that the Enigma of Combination was so vilified(?) for being the Thing That Makes Combiners or is it just 5am
#transformers#idk if my critical reading skills slipped my brain while i was reading idw#or if prime wars is so bad i just cant understand it at all#but was the main problem w the enigma the fact that it turned 5 robots into 1 big robot as a sixth entity borne of its components#who had a personality & independence as real as any of its component members yet could willingly dissociate into those 5 robots again#& by virtue of that independence could only be controlled by a governing body by replacing one or more of its gestalt#w someone loyal to that governing body or even singular person/ideal#thus fundamentally altering how the 1 giant robot's priorities & worldview are structured in a way that borders on mind control/manipulatio#but in the absence of that alteration the 1 robot & its gestalt would be treated as an unstable threat even when uncombined#even if the gestalt and/or combiner show no evidence of these threats & may just want to exist outside of combat#& that the enigma is what put the gestalt together as a combiner for better or for worse & can readily do so whenever#or should i have just gone to bed six hours ago when i was tired#maccadam
