True, but it is most likely the autobots could contain such a blast as to keep everything from dying. Not to mention how if darkside really wanted to, he could absorb the explosion thanks to his powers. Also, have you noticed he acts like a certain famous villain? Or, did...omnicidal, trying to take over/destroy everything.....Thinking most heroes should be under his heel....
