Bwaheh. Needlenose continues to be an evil beast. I approve. I'd say I hope Prime felt suitably guilty after this, but he's Prime, he does little but feel guilty.

Thank you. Feeling bad for Decepticons never gets you anything! Except large holes in your spaceship. ;)
One wonders if Optimus Prime ever kicks himself that it's his fault that Needlenose is his enemy.
True, true. And then he dies. And comes back. Needlenose will never get the attention that (he feels he) deserves!
The compassion really plays more like stupidity. It's bloody selfish of Optimus Prime to kill himself over a video game when his troops need him and the rest of the universe needs him to stop the Decepticons. More will die if he dies! I think Optimii are just inherently suicidal.
Poor Needlenose, so lacking in vindication, or just possibly the chance to make Prime cringe. Hence your fic, which neatly capped the who idea. Which is just one of the reasons it's good.
Yeah, Optimus does have some sort of a deathwish. Well, G1/G2 Optimus. Not sure about Primal. RiD Optimus seemed pretty sane. Armada Prime ... had Megatron issues.

And I like how this follows on the last one. :)

I saw that idea in a "Good Omens" fic once. /random
Also, Needlenose is very... Mmmm. Ruthless nice. I bet the Autobots think he's all fluffy right up until Spinister pwns them.

Oh, I'm sure that I got it from somewhere. :)

Heh-heh-heh. The ruthless application of niceness is a wicked weapon.

Prime kicks himself over everything. As you pointed out, the equality of his compassion degrades the quality of his compassion.

Primal gets a deathwish in Beast Machines. He even comes out and states it.

Haven't seen BMac, a fact that continues to be a nuisance.
