** [[spoiler:How Megatron ended up being left in the Functionist Universe; the original teleporter Team Rodimus planned to use to get back to Necroworld and out of the Functionist Universe was broken, so Nine-of-Twelve led them to a second teleporter nearby. Megatron had separated from the group earlier to say goodbye to Terminus, who had decided to stay and help the Anti-Vocationists fight (which Rodimus was immediately suspicious of, since he suspected Megatron of trying to get out of his trial) so Roller was told to radio Terminus and let Megatron know about the change of destination. We only hear Terminus' side of the discussion before he tells Megatron to follow him to the new teleporter...which is a different one from the one Team Rodimus is using. This leads Rodimus to believe that Megatron has played them to stay and avoid his fate (since they have a rapidly-closing window of opportunity to leave) and have to go without him, taking Luna-2 with them. Did Roller give Terminus the wrong coordinates on purpose, or did Terminus, who had already expressed his desire to see Megatron stay and help the AVL, take Megatron to the wrong teleporter on purpose so he could lie and say the others had left without him to "give him a second chance"? Roberts eventually confirmed on twitter that Terminus lied to him.]]

* ArmCannon: Averted. While he's still armed, his iconic cannon is absent from his new form as Optimus had him melt it down. This is a bit of an in-joke hearkening back to his novel "Towards Peace," where he states that it is his burden, and when the rejection of it is significant to no one else but himself, he will remove it from his arm. Unlike in his novel, this was removed in conjunction with him renouncing his ideals rather than fulfilling them and not needing it to fight. [[spoiler: He gets a new one during the "Dying of the Light" arc, but refuses to use it out of fear of reverting to his old ways until Ratchet convinces him otherwise. It gets destroyed before the end of the issue. Appears to have a new one when he returns from the Functionist Universe, but this one turns out to be a form of medical kit. His also functions as a CallBack to his mentioning he wanted to become a medic (WAY back when he was still a miner) but was barred from doing so at the time because it didn't relate to his function.]]

* ColdBloodedTorture: On the receiving end of this, courtesy of Pharma, though Ratchet refuses to scream or give Pharma any satisfaction. ''Spotlight: Orion Pax'' reveals that Ratchet been tortured before by Bludgeon, who's "hurt him in ways only a doctor could understand," which may explain Ratchet's ability to resist here.
