I mean, if you think about it, Transformers is just about Robot Moses vs Robot Jesus (usually told from the perspective of the disciples/followers of Robot Jesus).
Megatron: Was born into slavery; rose the ranks in society for a bit; went back down to the gallows to inspire a movement within the lower castes; challenged authority on his and their behalf; led those people out of their slavery with the intent of taking hold of their freedom, getting to a better place in life, and not looking back.
Optimus: Humble beginnings; graced by the power of the local diety, but still walks among everyone else; inspired a movement emphasizing not judging others (yes even the ones their society would normally be repulsed by); often delves into long, teaching-moment speeches; carries symbol in his body that can prove his divinity; usually dies to save everyone; can also come back from the dead.

Bravo, Strongarm!
