* ''ComicBook/TheTransformersIDW'' ends with humans and Cybertronians alike rebuilding Earth after the events of ''ComicBook/TheTransformersUnicron''. Given the AntagonistTitle of the final arc, it is little surprise that Unicron and his minions leave widespread destruction and devastation in his wake, and even Cybertronian efforts aren't quite enough on their own. But considering the extreme toll of the fighting, practically everyone prefers to sort through the rubble and rebuild rather than bring up old grudges again.

An EndingTrope. Some stories of a more "feel-good" persuasion end with the characters volunteering to improve their community. Often they will be repairing damage done during the climax and characters previously at conflict will be seen working together. Some works portray this with a single scene, others with a {{Montage}}.

This gives the main characters the manpower to quickly wrap up the story and avert the cliché where TheMainCharactersDoEverything. It also implies that characters are overcoming the events of the story and acts as an extra feelgood {{aesop}} about the power of teamwork and societal changes that can be enacted when people come together. If the community was not on their side for most of the story, their participation here also likely signals a turning point in their support towards the main characters.

This is perhaps most common in animation, which has historically been more kid-friendly and optimistic than live-action films. You can also expect it in a ChristmasSpecial, ChristmasEpisode, or [[ChristmasMoviesIndex Christmas movies]] due to the focus on peace and good cheer in those works.

This applies to a non-violent resolution in the {{Denouement}}. So, when many characters some together in the climax to resolve the plot through a liberal application of punching or fire, that is not this trope.

A classic sub-trope of HappyEnding. Compare HardWorkMontage, which focuses more on the intensity of the labor than the unity of those involved and doesn't need to come after the climax. If done poorly, it can easily verge into TastesLikeDiabetes territory.
