Xal's role in the Multiverse
#1

This granting of uncontrolled, raw creative power to mortals goes against the Grand Plan, making the universe more interesting, yes, but more chaotic, and so Primus punishes Xal, perhaps forcing him to fight the Elder God's within their dimensional prison for all eternity as recompence for his actions. Xal's constellation is, after all, the sword. Like Prometheus, however, Xal must inevitably be unbound, perhaps evidenced by the Elder Gods' well-established escapades into the Multiverse. How he did so is mystery, maybe breaking free during the chaos of the Universe War, but regardless of method, Xal is again loose.
This next part is where it gets especially sketchy. In Prometheus's story, he is capable of destroying Zeus by withholding the secret to his downfall, but instead warns Zeus, and so the two reconcile and Prometheus is given the honor he is due. For Xal's tale, it is unknown what Primus's secret is. Perhaps it is that, if left unchecked, the increasingly complicated events happening across the Multiverse (cough FunPub cough) will throw it so into chaos that conflicts like the Universe War and Elder God incursions will become regular, and Unicron will thrive in the disorder and grow too powerful to stop. To preserve creation, Xal informs Primus, and for it, he is granted freedom and worship as the god of trickery and magic, while Primus subtly engineers the Shroud to preserve multiversal order. Thus, Xal's arc ends and the Multiverse is where we leave it today.
One more thing; something interesting to note is that Xal Unbound was written by Shattered Glass Straxus, who lives in a negative polarity universe. Negative universes, being the opposite of "regular" positive ones, have the color schemes, personalities, and even histories of their inhabitants be more or less the exact opposite of their positive counterparts. Thus, it could be assumed that Xal Unbound is the negative-polarity inverse of Xal Bound, from a positive polarity universe. The final installment in the trilogy, then, would be Xal the Magic-Bringer, a play only possible to write by someone observing from a multiversal point of view, like one of the thirteen, the TransTechs, or another deity. Perhaps Alpha Trion, or even Vector Prime (he may have been playing dumb when questioned about Xal. Who remains unaware of an interdimensional deity?!)? Maybe the final play hasn't been written yet, and the trilogy that spans the Multiverse is in the hands of we, the omniscient fandom, to complete.

So multiversal that he escapes the Transformers Discussion dimension? = O

Shouldn't gravity be doing something?
Of course there's a figure of Rodimus as some kind of animal girl. Why would I be surprised by this?
