Every time I think about Mnemosurgery I'm reminded of just how much I hate how the Autobots seemed to flagrantly disregard consent with it. Optimus Prime Himself seemed to be pretty on board with it. Like, I get including it and Shadowplay as a very obvious showcase of how Awful Cybertronian Society before the war was, but god does having it rear its ugly head during the modern day feel just plain off. (And this is coming from someone who LIKES a bit of mindfuckery in their fiction)

Ikr???

It makes you wonder what we aren't seeing

#maccadam #transformers #i personally find mnemosurgery very off putting as the idea of someone snooping through my head is a fear of mine #i can kiiinda see Optimus's thought process here but //fuck// do the autobots and Decepticons have drastically different povs on it #idw optimus prime #mtmte megatron #mtmte chromedome #I've toyed with the idea of consensual mnemosurgery and the possible benefits but fuck does idw paint a bleak picture with it #idw-g1 is such an interesting continuity for situations like this #because mnemosurgery is clearly (clear to me anyway) and it's historical abuse is based on the lobotomy #it's interesting
