Why can't it be the Matrix being corrupted like with Thunderwing in Marvel?
Why can't it be the Decepticon stealing the matrix and touting it around like with Starscream in IDW?
Why can't it be anything else that would land them with the matrix other than the matrix choosing them?
If the poll chooses a 'con, there'll be some reasoning for it in-story.
Because unless chosen in a natural matter they will become a fake Prime they are a fake pretender throwing the word Prime around and it is a disgrace for them to be on the same plain as true Primes such as Optimus or Rodimus.
The IDW adds the results from the toyline this vote is from not the other way around so forget about IDW which is not as grand as everyone says it is since it's becoming worse and worse ever since season 2 of the current series of comics began.
The point of this contest/vote will be lost if the results do not give a true prime and just some guy claiming to be one.
I don't particularly see the problem with that, if anything IDW keeps getting better (Windblade's series in particular has seen a massive surge in quality), and I'd find it far more interesting to get a Decepticon Prime rather than just another Autobot Prime. I really don't see what would be interesting about Magnus or Hound as Prime - and especially not Star Saber. Megatron or Deathsaurus would be extremely interesting.
Besides, we're voting for the leader of Cybertron. Not the leader of the Autobots. Hence it's pretty much implied that we're voting in a post-war scenario. And who knows? Maybe the Matrix
does sense something in Megatron. Something that could help lead the planet into prosperity that was lost in the war but perhaps could be rekindled.
I'm not saying this would happen, but that's the point - we
don't know how this'll unfold. So I think it's a bit ridiculous to be making judgements now that they'll be a fake Prime or whatever. We'll just have to see
