I don't understand Ralok, why a rebellion between synthetics and their masters is "idiotic". Machines were made for specific uses and purposes, and are supposed to fill out those purposes whether they "want" to or not. If the Exo have reached sentience, then they should have an idea of what they want and what they believe to be right and wrong. Exo would be more or less like humans, except more efficient. If the Exo got the idea that what the humans were doing to them was "wrong", such as treating the synthetics like slaves, or using them as weapons, then they would probably protest against such actions. What if the humans denied them their own freedoms and rights? Then as many humans do, te synthetics might fight against the humans to obtain "freedom" from their tyrannical rule. And the Exo ARE protecting the CIty (II have not mistaken them for cleaner-bots). A Guardians job is to protect the City and reclaim the fallen lands of the once great civilization of humanity. And since Exo can be Guardians, they would be helping and protecting the City.
