'''All's well that ends well.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Rattrap (Legends)|Rattrap]], [[Megatron (Legends)|Megatron]], and the other [[Legends World|Legends]] natives are saddened to learn of [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|G1 Megatron]]'s sacrifice, though [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], recalling Megatron's previous resurrection within the Legends World, requests they try to bring him back again as soon as the universe itself is restored. By [[2039]], the war has ended: the [[Decepticon]]s have laid down their arms in accordance with Megatron's last wishes and support the plan to restore the Legends World and resurrect their leader. Many peaceful developments and relationships born in the Legends World have resurfaced, including [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Triggerhappy (G1)|Triggerhappy]]'s partnership as they work as law enforcers on [[Earth]]. [[Human]] science is rapidly approaching [[Transformer]] levels thanks to their alliance with [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] as well as [[Angolmois Energy]], a power source extracted from Gaia Energy discovered within the planet, and the efforts of scientists like [[Chip Chase]] and [[Atari Hitotonari|Professor Hitotonari]] have resulted in the creation of [[Artemis's sisters|androids]], human-made robotic lifeforms. [[Artemis]] and [[Moon (BW)|Moon]] are the pinnacle of their research.

[[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], and [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]] travel to [[Zamojin (planet)|Zamojin]] and ask [[Zamojin (species)|its people]] for help in restoring the Legends World, but are met with refusal by [[Katsu Don]]. When Windblade offers to defend the newborn world and Perceptor argues that Katsu Don can't decide the fates of the Legends natives or else he'll be the same as the [[Quintesson]]s who attacked his planet, the Zamojin relents, confessing that he was already shameful about seeing his own actions reflected in those of the [[Vok]]. Dai Atlas praises Perceptor's willingness to reach out to a former enemy, recalling how [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] made him [[Supreme Commander]] in spite of his past as a Decepticon. Returning to [[Micro|Planet Zone]], Dai Atlas encounters small newborn beast Transformers created by imbuing [[protoform]] capsules with [[Beast Power]], allowing them to scan organic life. [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] believes these Transformers' descendants will be the ones who will [[Beast Wars (event)|travel into the past]] to protect the present, granting them new symbols as proof that the future can't be changed. As they were created through Autobot and Decepticon cooperation, Wheeljack also sees them as symbols of everlasting peace between the factions.

While the [[Powered Master]]s gather their resources to recreate the Legends World, Dai Atlas asks Rattrap to make sure Megatron is resurrected, having forgiven the Decepticon thanks to his saving Planet Zone from destruction. Controlling the gathered [[Zodiac]]s through their [[Powered Engine]]s, the Powered Masters imbue them with [[Energon Z]], Zamojin telepathy power, [[Botanica (Legends)|Botanica]]'s soil, and finally through [[White Leo]]'s sword, Beast Power and the very wishes of the Legends residents. [[Lio Convoy (BW)|Leo Prime]] reflects on how even though the Zamojin went down the wrong path, their telepathy experiment is what allowed him to sense the Legends natives cheering him on on [[Gaia]] and thanks Rattrap, who thanks him back. Watching from afar, [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] and [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]] reaffirm their belief that peace between Transformers will never last when [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] approaches, apologizing to Smokescreen for not being there for him and revealing that even he cooperates with others for the sake of peace now. His resolve shaken, Smokescreen takes his hand to return to the fold, though Dreadwing refuses and turns to leave. However, when his partner calls out to him that they themselves are proof that Autobots and Decepticons can work together, he too has a change of heart and joins Smokescreen and Devcon.

The Legends World is successfully restored, down to the cities, and its residents waste no time in using their wish-granting powers to build a new Megatron body and call his spark into it. Half a year later, things have returned to normal as Rattrap, [[Rhinox (Legends)|Rhinox]], [[Tigatron (Legends)|Tigatron]], and [[Silverbolt (Legends)|Silverbolt]] all watch the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' movie, which appeals to all their tastes. In fact, things are going so well that the reborn Megatron realizes he longer needs to run the Legends World and decides to return to the [[G1 World]]. He tells the residents about how he arrived there with the intent of conquering their world only to realize it was a chance to create the peaceful world [[Kiloton|his friend]] had wanted, then gives them his heartfelt thanks for showing him the potential of a world where different peoples with different beliefs can all work together. Legends Megatron bursts into tears, but G1 Megatron tells him that this isn't goodbye: After all, his future endeavors will appear in the Legends World as fiction, so he asks his counterpart to keep cheering him on from afar. As G1 Megatron takes his leave and Legends Megatron begins searching for any and all ''Transformers'' fiction to consume, Rattrap expresses his comfort that the G1 World will be safe with Optimus Prime and a heroic Megatron around: Some amazing ''Transformers'' stories must be just around the corner.

In the G1 World, Megatron and Optimus Prime rebuild the [[Cybertron Alliance]] while Earth enters a new era, and in the far future, the [[Maximal]]s celebrate with the returned Rhinox on a [[Great Transformation|reformatted]] Cybertron. In other universes, [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] and [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] have been reunited, [[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]] makes plans to break other Decepticons out of prison, the [[Dimensional Patrol]] continues its battles against the unknown while [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]] and his [[Commando (RID)|Combatrons]] are out there somewhere, and [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]] remembers the late [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]]. Back in the Legends World, Leo Prime leaves [[Lio Convoy (Legends)|Lio Convoy]] and his [[Lio Junior (Legends)|son]] with some gifts as he too departs, [[Big Convoy (Legends)|Big Convoy]]'s class graduates from high school, and chaos continues at [[Tera-Kura Co.]] [[Axalon Trading Company]] hires a new face, [[Kobanzametarō]], who quickly gets along with the rest as he's a ''Transformers'' fan too, particularly of ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]''.

In [[2040]] of the G1 World, [[Eagle Eye (G1)|Hawking]] and [[Magnificus (G1)|Magnificus]] break into the Autobot base containing the [[Assaultmaster]] in which their leader [[Scrash (G1)|Scrash]] has been sealed. Declaring that they will tear down the Cybertron Alliance with technology unearthed from [[Tarantulas's lair]], they free Scrash who bursts out of his prison in the form of an energy lifeform and possesses [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]], a former host of his brought by his underlings. However, the group is interrupted by Optimus Prime and Megatron, who have come to put a stop to Scrash's plans.

==Notes==
*Yes, "Epilogue" is misspelled in the title.

===Continuity notes===
*Barring a cameo in [[LG19 Springer]], Atari Hitotonari has not appeared since [[Kiss Players episode 51|''Kiss Players'' radio drama #51]] in 2007.
*Chip Chase speaks of a substance called "Gaia Energy", which is what [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Brave Maximus]] was stated in ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)|Car Robots]]'' to have been built to protect. ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (franchise)|Kiss Players]]'' would go on to equate it with the [[Angolmois Energy]] found on [[Gaia|Planet Gaia]] (future [[Earth]]) in ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars II]]''. Its mention here as a separate substance, however, seems to be an attempt to smooth over a previous retcon made by ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (cartoon)|Beast Wars Neo]]'' that declared Angolmois Energy to be [[Unicron]]'s energy when ''Beast Wars II'' had instead depicted it as the sacred life energy of Gaia. With the Unicron retcon firmly set in stone after twenty years, Gaia Energy would now purportedly fit the original role of being Planet Gaia's sacred life energy.
*Hot Rod notes that aspects of the Legends World culture have come over to Earth, including Blaster's musical career from "[[LG27 Blaster]]" and ''[[RoboPara]]'' from "[[LG32 Chromedome]]".
*[[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] is seen recuperating in the same healing device that [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]] used in "[[Ginrai Dies!!]]"
*Legends Megatron and G1 Megatron reminisce about their interactions, including [[LG13 Megatron|their first meeting]], [[LG14 Ultra Magnus Prologue Part 3: Autumn Megatron Festival Chapter|when Armada Megatron joined up with them]], [[LG20 Skids|G1 Megatron's near-death]], and [[LG63 G2 Megatron|G1 Megatron battling a Concurrence-controlled Legends Megatron]].
*[[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]]'s "[[Knock Out (Prime)#Adventure|Bloody]]" parts are seen in the background, per Breakdown and Knock Out's origin from the Japanese ''Prime''-''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (franchise)|Go!]]''-''Adventure'' continuity where Knock Out remained a Decepticon.
*''Animated'' [[Blurr (Animated)|Blurr]] evidently got better enough to confront [[Shockwave (Animated)|his would-be killer]], indicating that "[[The Return of Blurr]]" did happen in the Japanese version of ''Animated'' continuity. Also present are the trio of [[Hosehead (Animated)|Hosehead]], [[Siren (Animated)|Siren]], and [[Nightbeat (Animated)|Nightbeat]], who were prominent in that story.
*Scrash was trapped in the immobilized Assaultmaster mecha by [[Clouder]] in the ''[[Transformers United EX|United EX]]'' finale "[[Hope for the Next Generation]]".
*The [[Unearthed Future|''United EX'' story]] just beforehand established that Scrash's forces had a base in the excavated remains of [[Tarantulas's lair]].

===Transformers references===
*Chip states that the extraction of Angolmois Energy from Gaia Energy was made possible by cooperation from [[Kenneth Onishi|Dr. Ōnishi]] and [[Professor Serikawa]], scientist allies of the Autobots originating from the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)|Car Robots]]'' cartoon and the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone]]'' story pages, respectively.
*Among the cityscape of Planet Zone are buildings based on those from ''[[Block Town]]''.
*Firebolt and Blowpipe are based on their then-new ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' toys. Likewise, Grimlock and Elita One are drawn based on their ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' toys.
*The original set of Maximals and Predacons shown in this story are the beast Mini-Cons from the fourth volume of ''[[Micron Booster]]''. Released in 2007, their Maximal and Predacon insignia had gone unexplained till now. Also present are two vehicular Mini-Cons from the same set, [[Rad Rogue]] and [[Windrazor (G1)|Windrazor]].
*Megatron is reconstructed and brought back in a body based on [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP36|his ''Masterpiece'' MP-36 toy]].
*In the restored Legends World, its denizens are watching ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]''.
*Knock Out shows Breakdown the schematics to the [[Apex Armor (Thirteen)|Apex Hunter Armor]] from the ''Cyberverse'' portion of the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#BH|Prime: Beast Hunters]]'' toyline. Fittingly, it came with Breakdown.
*The graduation ceremony of [[Big Convoy|Big]]'s class takes place in the midst of cherry blossoms; this is a callback to "[[Graduation Ceremony!!]]", where their G1 World versions used a fake cherry tree for their own graduation.
*[[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] and [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]] finally make their first (and likely only) appearances in the Legends World. Previously, Depth Charge had only appeared in a promotional image made when the ''Legends'' comic was beginning to be made. Joining them are [[Transmutate (BW)|Transmutate]], who Rampage developed an attachment to in "[[Transmutate (episode)|Transmutate]]", and Depth Charge's [[nuclear cybershark drone]], which was characterized in the Japanese dub of ''Beast Wars'' as a speaking character named Kobanzametarō.
*The page introducing Kobanzametarō is based on Rattrap's own first day in "[[The Generation Gap]]".
