Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon continuity

The Battle of the Star Gate

To keep the Autobots from interfering in the Decepticons' plan to obtain energon cubes from the tampering of the Pacific Ring of Fire, Starscream promised the Prime Minister of Japan no aggressive action against Japan if they were left in secrecy. The Prime Minister, having little choice, complied and hid all Decepticon activity from the sensor network of the Autobot-human alliance, covering up any damage done to Japan as the result of natural earthquakes.

However, the Autobots still realized the artificial nature of the earthquakes. An amused Megatron revealed the Prime Minister's involvement in the plot as evidence of the untrustworthy and fallible humans.

While massive damage rocked Tokyo, the Prime Minister sank in his seat, feeling guilt over his involvement. The nearby Professor Ōnishi noticed his obvious guilt and privately shamed him. Activation

After the Autobots and Decepticons battled on the coast of Japan, the Prime Minister was angry at the disruption the conflict had caused, and summoned Rodimus Prime to the imperial palace. He complained to the Autobot leader that the battle had terrified those living there and also frightened off valuable tourists. Though Rodimus protested that without the Autobots, the Decepticons would have caused a lot more damage, the Prime Minister and his delegation of officials was still not impressed, and kept Rodimus there the whole afternoon.
