I don't see that in actual G1, of course; but femme says it pretty clearly in her AU fic and comment *points up* to my comment.

... maybe that's kind of morbid, but I really feel that Hound did the right thing in this fic.

On one level, I really agree. I think that agriculture was the worst thing that ever happened to us or this planet, and it has just gotten worse since. But, I wonder what Hound could have accomplished through education? One thing that is probably rather unrealistic in this story is that the Autobots would not have helped humans improve how they found and used energy. Though perhaps they did, and it still was too little too late.
On a planetary level, it is easy to say that the Earth would be better off without us, and I can imagine even "good" aliens with the power to do so making the choice that Hound did. However, it robs an entire species of an opportunity to redeem itself or suffer the natural consequences of their actions. Question is, can genocide every be justified? Even against a species that is committing it themselves just by the way they live? Hmmmmmmmmm
