Re: Autobot/Decepticon Rank Structure
I could have seen either Ironhide or Jazz as 2nd in command. Both are often in charge and give orders. Jazz orders all the Autobots to "Transform" in one of the opening 3 episodes so Optimus doesn't have to give the order.
Also don't forget Preceptor. He had a lot of clout with most of the Autobots, especially Prime. When he talked, you listened.
The Decepticons had a leader, a guy who was tolerated in a psudo-roll of 2nd in command, when not trying to kill said leader, and the rest were a pack of wolves vying for their place in the pecking order. Where you fell in any given hour often depended on the episode, aka, what you did wrong, or the leaders mood at the time. Even more true with Galvatron!
