The arc folded really fast, might be too fast to my taste. I honestly have no interest in Anode’s story arc. It felt out of place intertwined with the functionist universe to me. Maybe the functionist arc would have ended less rushed if JRo skipped Anode’s part.
I like the idea of Megatron having a second chance in the functionist universe. To go through a might-be-millions-of-years-long war AND knowing that he have do do it right this time, this itself is a form of “punishment” to Megatron. It’s just that in this way, the people of the functionist universe might have a chance to win a freedom, and only after this could Megatron have his redemption. It would be a win-win “punishment” for all.
However, I can’t believe Terminus tricked/forced Megatron to stay… that bugger is the first Decepticon. I hope Megatron at least have the chance of explaining to Rodimus and Magnus that he staying in the functionist universe is not him trying to get away with his trail. I want him to tell them that it’s not even about his redemption, but about taking responsibility and saving people when he know he is the most capable one. I just want Rodimus and Magnus to know it.
But at least Megs got Optimus? Nevertheless, who says the Optimus in the functionist universe is “good”? It would be the intimate irony if this Optimus supports funcionism and becomes Megatron’s nemesis.
