Neocon VS Decepticon

Friends, the moment has again arrived...

The following is a (mostly) weekly feature which pits the leaders of Washington's "new conservative" movement against Cybertron's most feared villains. Remember: Your vote matters!

NEOCON

Name: Elliot Abrams

Title: Senior Director, National Security Council

Transforms Into A Crazed, SUV-Sized Grasshopper: No

Defining Moment: In 1991, Abrams was indicted by the Iran-Contra special prosecutor for giving false testimony before Congress in 1987 about his role in illicitly raising money for the Nicaraguan Contras. He pleaded guilty to two lesser offenses of withholding information to Congress in order to avoid a trial and a possible jail term. He was pardoned by President George H.W. Bush along with a number of other Iran-Contra defendants on Christmas night 1992 - from Disinfopedia.org.

DECEPTICON

Name: Kickback

Title: Insecticon

Transforms Into A Crazed, SUV-Sized Grasshopper: Yes

Defining Moment: Kickback and his fellow Insecticons are reformatted by Unicron to become the Sweeps, a horde of scavengers loyal to Galvatron.
