Some interesting stuff regarding the Shattered Glass multiverse from tfcc story "Coalescence"
The tintinnabulating of the giant’s ice shards echoed in the chamber. It was laughing.
“Yes, you will piece back together all that has been separated. The lost universes now isolated and alone will be as one.”
“The All-Knowledge will be recovered.”
“You can have the knowledge. I am more interested in the new realms... and the weight they will bring to topple the balance.” The giant managed to ball a fist. Frozen crys-tals cracked and sloughed off its limb. It turned back to Sunstorm, the yellow robot couldn’t bring himself to look at the giant.
“But first I need heat...”
This is a parallel Bayformers The Fallen who ends up in the SG multiverse before it was actually revealed in Epilogue II
What's interesting is the 13
don't know about this multiverse, we know this from Vector Prime thinking negative universes are extremely rare but also because The Fallen right here is directly saying these are "lost universes"
“Ah-ha! Right to the point, right to the point indeed! Very well, let’s go for it.” The diminutive purple robot pointed both his index fingers at Sephie. “He arrived over two years ago, in a flash of blinding light. He was an inferno of emotion, and just like the fire ablaze on his back, seeking to consume all that he touched. He soon, though, found that our little universe flipped everything he knew on its head. Light became dark, hot became cold, fire...became ice.”
“And he got stuck here?”
“Stuck? No, no, no. You misunderstand. He can go back to any positive universe he wants.” Beta Maxx shook his head.
“But that is exactly what he doesn’t want. You see there is balance in those universes, in the form of his brothers and sisters. He is alone here though since they’re reluctant to come this far... And he wants to go even further. You see he theorizes that there are more negative universes. And, well, I do believe he wants them.”
Basically the 13 had no idea any of this was out here. the Transtech
of this multiverse also didn't know, because this Multiverse had a Shroud placed on it that was removed when Nexus Shrouded the main multiverse. It's all very odd and mysterious, it seems like the TFCC writers were seeding a storyline involve The Fallen secretly trying to conquer the Shattered Glass multiverse before FunPub lost the license. And this was published
well after the Shroud, and this version of the Fallen is confirmed to be able to travel through universes/multiverses as he wishes. Which just hammers home the Shroud can't affect both main multiverses at once.
“Hrm. A positive universe. How shortsighted of them.” In the white vacuum, the words carried no sound. The Fallen flexed his hands, the ice began to melt away into water droplets that floated around him. Caught in his orbit, they streaked across the blank canvas of the void before him like tears on a porcelain doll. They formed no pat-tern, there was no order to their arrangement. The Fallen flicked at a larger droplet and it burst into more chaos. He needed to make this universe a little messier. He contin-ued aloud-but-silently,
“After I’ve thawed and regathered my energy, I’ll return. I’ll try again, even if I have to start over from the beginning.”Something moved. It slipped quickly across his body. He squinted to try to make out what it was. It moved again. He saw it this time, it was a shadow, and it was growing. He waved his hand in a swimmer’s stroke to turn around in the gravity-less nihility and instantly his eyes went wide. A voice roared through the void. It was an old voice, one of the oldest. Even without air and vibration it was heard. It would not be refused. To the Fallen, it was familiar. It said only two words, but they were words that permeated the Fallen with horror and fear.
“I... Hunger...”
Whatever Unicron he encounters back in the main multiverse is also still powerful enough to terrify him, despite this Fallen maintaining his multiversal abilities.
As much as the Shroud was a measure to clean up for FunPub losing the license, it strongly seems like TFCC's writers had big plans for it going forward, especially with the SG Multiverse and The Fallen. Really disappointed it didn't play out. Maybe someday.
“They were right, you know. Boltax and Cybaxx. I absconded with thousands of uni-verses of data from Axiom Nexus, and entropy is the natural order of the universe...The multiverse. Even if we’ve pushe the Fallen away for now, his influence is every-where.”
The Fallen is asserted to be the source of all entropy in the multiverse. Kinda makes sense as Unicron once said entropy was a pale imitation of himself. But lorewise it's fascinating that the entropy is the natural
order, since order is Primus' domain. Makes sense why Primus created him for this task. Also similar I guess to Vector Prime being connected to all time throughout the multiverse maybe? This also makes The Fallen almost certainly the strongest of the 13 aside from Prima, and Nexus with Prima's sword+Terminus Blade.
