Which makes it MORE ironic because it's named after an Armada weapon that is comprised by three characters. But in the G1 Timeline? Just a gun.
Seriously though, with all this G1 focus, they would at least try to handle the source material better. It's like "Hey, there's these three weapons that consist of three little robots each. What should we do with them?" "Ehhh... just slap their names in some weapons and make them mcguffins."

Seriously, Micronus is one of the primes, would it really kill them to at least depicted them as a weapon that is comprised of minicons?

The G1 cartoon is Beast Wars quality compared to this dump of a show.

The G1 cartoon is Beast Wars Quality Compared to a lesser G1 show. Tatsunoko, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
(It's okay, it's not really your fault, all the blame will be towards Machinima anyways.)

the requiem blaster here is not based off of the armada version, its based off of the aligned version which has been around since at least 2010, its nothing new to this show

It's neat that they did this for the audience members that needed it even though all of this is covered in the show itself. The "hype building shadowy figure" contained a major spoiler for next episode. But I do rather like the implication that this is an Ancestor to BW Primal from eons before the great downgrade.

All this stuff is in the transformers Aligned universe lore bible too. So nothing really new there. Megatronus' taste of the blaster after sealing Unicron away gave him a thirst for power, which eventually potentially made him turn to working for Unicron as the entity that could quench that.

It's an interesting sub-metaphor too when you really think about the catalyst and what it represents especially in terms of how his refusal to give up something deemed too dangerous to stay existing cost him the life of who he cared for most. Literally as his refusal to give it up is what made it the very thing that took her life. That tragic irony aspect of how his need for a weapon to feel powerful is what took everything from him and sent him into the spiral of becoming the second greatest evil of Transformers lore, the first betrayer, the first decepticon, the Fallen of the Primes.

The symbolism to modern day connotations isn't lost either. Rather glaringly obvious, but in today's world, that's kind of needed.

Also really like how this seems to give more history to Megatron in not only the name he took, but his alternate form too. Rather gives Megatron a more robust thought out backstory in a way in why he had that form and what it represents. Literally turning into a copy of the Fallen's most powerful weapon, but also the very thing that cost the Fallen everything.

I'm sorry, but you're really reaching.

Shocking revelation: people enjoy different things. Always the most controversial and stunning thing online for some reason.
