The Budding Process is strictly asexual - so all the genetic data contained in the offspring comes from a single parent. So if there is a Prime descendancy, then a descendant of a Prime would be a "pureblood" Prime. There's no "halfbloods" when dealing with an asexually reproductive species. Or if there were, it wouldn't be because of budding.Originally Posted by Hursticon
Yeah, that's pretty much what Megatron says in the movie-verse comics (current DotM prequel stuff).This could also work towards Megatron's disdain for the hereditary rule of the Primes because whilst he believes that just because your of Prime descent, it doesn't mean you'll be an effective leader but deep-deep down he questions this because Optimus is displaying that he is a living example of the opposite.
