Transformers: Lost Light #25 - "How to Say Goodbye and Mean It: Part 2" [series finale]



Closure doesn’t exist outside of fiction. Life is a messy succession of changes, some incremental, some sudden, and everyone moves at different speeds; only in fiction do we get the satisfying (if fundamentally dishonest) neatness of a synchronised ending. Think of the last episode of a TV show in which, over the course of an afternoon, the core cast members variously marry, move to a new city, find their long-lost adopted son and, in at least three separate instances, get their comeuppance. Spoiler alert for any non-grown-ups reading this: life, sadly, isn’t like that. -- James Roberts

The "science" of quantum duplication is that both versions that result are the original, just split in two. The Lost Light crew killed by Overlord was just as much the original as the crew we followed in the comic.

Likewise, the Lost Light that escaped to another dimension is no more a duplicate than the Lost Light that returned to New Cybertron.
