Talk:Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity

Custom-made now section

I removed it for two reasons: 1) we don't actually see Megatron from that timestream. Everything we see is predestined to happen. So a section for him in that universe is unnecessary. 2) I think the entire section is wrong -- what creates the other universe is the lack of time travel, so Brainstorm never goes back at all, and Megatron (or whoever he would have been) would live out a normal life. So that's why I reverted it. --ItsWalky (talk) 11:39, 6 March 2015 (EST)

Now we have a name for it, I think we should swap out the "Custom-made now" header for "The Functionist Universe" throughout... --Emvee (talk) 11:49, 6 March 2015 (EST)

Sure, why not. --ItsWalky (talk) 12:02, 6 March 2015 (EST)

Ok, here's a question for you: Was the functionist timeline because Megatron was *killed*, or was it because he always-was just some random miner until the time traveler's came back and did the whole kill-and-replace thing to put Megatron into being? It seems likely that the functionist timeline didn't come from the kill, it came from the lack of all of these alterations at all, which makes just how to write it pretty tricky!

How to write it is really simple: we don't, because we never see Megatron in that timeline, so that section has no place on his page. --ItsWalky (talk) 22:36, 13 March 2015 (EDT)

Visions

Should we perhaps think about merging the "Pax Cybertronia" and "Spotlight: Mirage" of this and similar pages, give that both are implied to be at best unreliable visions in subsequent issues? Apologies if this has been brought up elsewhere --Emvee (talk) 15:52, 6 December 2017 (EST)

Did we want to include this image in the notes? -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 21:03, 21 May 2022 (EDT)
