This is also important when Decepticons are distributing whole sale destruction and carnage to what would otherwise be faceless numbers. As Joseph Stalin once said, "The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic." - we care more about mass tragedies when we start learning about the suffering of individuals (and are thus able to more easily empathise with individuals). There are plenty of examples of this from TF lore.
