#I just like the idea of Megatron being turned to redemption by encountering a worse version of him in general

[quibbs126]

Is there a fic out there that maybe explores Cyberverse Megatron's multiverse adventure, specifically his time in the Other One's dimension? Because I feel like there's a lot to explore there

Like I think the main thing to explore is how after his travels and coming back to his universe, he chooses to end the war. Like on some level, he was doing it for self-preservation, but he did decide to actually help Optimus and stop the fighting, which he mostly sticks to, even if it's only for him and his Decepticons. And the fact that he includes his Decepticons in his protection; yes, they're more security against his counterpart but he went back to them and made an effort to keep them safe, when he could have just abandoned his original universe and conquered a new one

And you could make a very easy argument that spending time in that other dimension and seeing that other version of him is what made him decide to be at least marginally better. I've read a couple fics where Megatron meeting SG Optimus is what sort of leads him to declaring some form of truce, and I think a similar principle could apply here. I think Megatron rethinking his outlook and trying to change for the better being the result of him experiencing a worse version of himself and what they bring is a very interesting idea, and with Cyberverse, the concept's right there on a silver platter because it actually happened

Have a story where we see CV Megatron be stuck in the X dimension or whatever it's called for a bit, along with Dead End, and his reactions to this other dimension. Like first it's good because he won in this dimension, there's no Autobots, but then he quickly sees that the bots here live in straight up tyranny, worse than any he likely experienced before the war, and not only that but his loyal Decepticons are all gone to be replaced with "perfect Decepticons". Like maybe he didn't value them as much as Optimus values his troops, and they're not the most competent and rather annoying at times, but he realizes that despite their imperfections, he doesn't actually want them all dead and replaced with soulless, perfect machines, and he slowly realizes that he actually cared about them. And then there's meeting his other counterpart, and realizing he is just a monster. Which maybe causes him to re-evaluate his own choices because at one point, they were the same person, but he hates this other self, and maybe he starts to see why Optimus split off from his cause in the first place

Like it's a slow-burn redemption story for this Megatron, and how he got to the point of wanting to return to his home dimension and end their war

I just think it'd be a really good premise for a fic, and I would read the hell out of that. I mean I'm not a Cyberverse expert, nor am I a particularly good writer, so I don't think I could do it, but I want to either see someone do it, or be directed to a fic with this premise
