The thing is, I found myself quite liking UF-Onslaught in CR so far. He's smart, on-the-ball, interesting, and rather content to be a second-in-command, without any of the major hang-ups of previous Decepticon second-in-commands *coughStarscreamcoughCyclonuscough*. The only reason I could see for him to join the Impericons is for love of planning battles, and there's still plenty of battles for him to fight on the Decepticon side.

What I'm saying is that the Impericons are uncouth rascals without old Megatron's sense of style, or even Galvatron's interesting insanity, and Onslaught is much better than they are. I feel he deserves a spot at Thundercracker's side.

Off-topic, has there been much faction-swapping between the Autobots and the Decepticons, now that they're no longer two warring groups but instead two halves of the administration of Cybertron? And have many neutrals who didn't want to fight their own kind, but are willing to fight for their world, joined either group?

This is one of the several reasons why Collision Courses found its way into the Dustbin. Onslaught and his crew were mainly on the Impericon side because I was positioning them to become Vehicons after Black Convoy came along, but since I'm not actually doing any of that now, there's no need.

I would imagine both of these phenomena will see a spike in the course (and the aftermath) of CR - we've already seen Baffle go back to the Decepticons. To be fair, more than a few Autobot recruits who joined after 2380 did so under the (mistaken, but sincere) impression that the Decepticons were finished and, whoever they might end up fighting as members of the Autobot Forces, it wouldn't be other Transformers, so that part's already been happening.
