Definitely an autobot then. A bad guy can't be a pussy. It makes the whole team look weak. But if you put him in the good guys, it has the opposite result; it makes the team look better (the other members understand his problem and care for him, and that is in agreement with the spirit of the good guys' team).
Yeah, I guess the story could be that Megatron, Embaratron's second cousin, was bullying him, and Optimus Prime saw this and took him under his wing. But he regretted it ever since...
Goodbye people of cplusplus, I'm heading off on a mission in Louisville, Kentucky. Good luck with all of you programming stuff and I will be back in two years.
