Was Napoleon "the revolution on horseback" as he claimed to be or was he a traitor to the French Revolution?

This is a highly debated question in history, but most believe that Napoleon was not in fact the "revolution on horseback" but instead "hijacked" the ideas of the revolution to suit his own personal imperialistic goals in Europe.
