Soundwave’s death in Unicron 6 was devastating - I’m going to say that straight away. 

It wrenched out my heart and it’s really sad to even think about.

But that said, it was beautifully done.

And not just with the actual art, which was jaw-dropping, but also thematically.

Soundwave, the True Decepticon, who believed in true equality and unity for all - “Till all are one” - achieved that for a while here.

He united everyone, living and dead to help save the universe, ultimately sacrificing himself to achieve that dream in the process.

He really, really did it.

So, well done Soundwave, once again, you did good.

Talking with a friend about how the “bad ending” of Lost Light doesn’t make any sense thematically and about how we suspect it was a ‘what if’ vs. what actually happened.

The title “How to Say Goodbye and Mean It” implies something, in my opinion: in the bad ending, they did say goodbye, but none of them meant it. It didn’t stick. There were too many old wounds, too many friendships held together by a thread, too many memories that no one was willing to let go. On the other hand, you have the ending - what I suspect is the ending that actually happened - where they did say goodbye and meant it; not to one another, but to the universe they left behind in favor of staying together as a family. Because the theme of Lost Light is found family. The ship is their home. They have no motivation to leave it or one another.
