Quick recap

Stuck on Necroworld, the Lost Light crew tries to get back to Cybertron and lands in an alternate universe ruled by the Functionist Council, which assigns every citizen a role. The crew joins a resistance, and Megatron, now on their side, rallies the Anti-Vocationist League. To escape, Rodimus has the moon Luna 2 teleported back to Necroworld, with Rung grown to giant size and Terminus holding off the Council. Megatron reaches the transporter too late, and Rodimus chooses to leave him behind. On Necroworld, Anode brings Lug back from a trace of her spark. In the other universe, Megatron preaches "peace through empathy" to the miners, and a communicator rings with Orion Pax on the line.
