So I'm still letting this simmer, but I'm currently building my 28 month calendar for pre-Golden Age Cybertron and while I was figuring out how dates would be recorded I thought of... something.

Why is Megatronus called Megatronus if he's supposed to be the equivalent opposite of Prima?

Why isn't he called Terminus instead?

I'm currently going down a bit of a rabbit hole about the idea of a cosmic damnatio memoriae where Primus literally took the name "Terminus" away to signify that Megatronus was forever changed by his betrayal, and that the name itself is bad luck when it's used in an explicitly divine context, so the whole of Cybertronian religion has an obsession with perpetuity and continuation, like reverse apocalyptism. They banished the endbringer so now it'll just never stop.
