Understood. Nothing is ever a reference, Transformers series over the years are completely unique and do not draw elements from each other in any way, especially in the Aligned universe whose aim was stated to be accumulating of all Transformers mythos into a single continuity. Got it.

There's a difference between "intentional reference" and "vague parallel stemming from the fact that Transformers is a 35-year old franchise and thus various incarnations draw on similar tropes that are common across all forms of media". -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 09:09, 15 July 2019 (EDT)

I'd still argue that those parallels aren't as vague when the tropes are executed under a number of very particular circumstances. Example: Megatron shoots Optimus to death and gloats - obviously not a reference. Megatron stabs Optimus in the back, fires his fusion cannon through Optimus' spark and gloats about his weakness, camera angle is similar - ROTF reference. But if the wiki has another definition of reference, I'll leave it alone. -- Nhaz (talk) 09:16, 15 July 2019 (EDT)
