Trans-dimensional harmonic resonance
From Transformers Wiki
The Multiverse is a big place. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to the multiverse. And yet, certain beings and technologies and themes seem to repeat again and again. You might think that's just to sell toys coincidence, but it's not. It's actually a very real, not at all BS concept called alternatively trans-dimensional harmonic resonance or quantum harmonic resonance.
Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
Vector Prime suggested that the Covenant may be very limited multiversal singularities, or simply extreme examples of trans-dimensional harmonic resonance.
Vector Prime, in the context of the origin of Cymond-cluster realities, clarified that trans-dimensional harmonic resonance is something separate and distinct from quantum oscillation matches, which relates to the omniverse.
In discussing a non-singularity Unicron, Vector Prime mentioned harmonic resonance as a possible reason for the similarities between the Planet X tyrant who merged his consciousness with his world and the more traditional Unicron.
Vector Prime considered Aurex 1104.30-JH Zeta to be a fascinating example of quantum harmonic resonance.
Quantum harmonic resonance was also the reason that certain aspects of the Great War of the Malgus cluster appeared similar to events of Primax 984.17 Alpha, something he cautioned his petitioners not to read too much into.
Spacewarp speculated that someone like Vector Prime or Rhinox might chalk her similar appearance to Astrotrain up to quantum harmonic resonance, but she herself attributed it to a more abstract higher power. Ask Vector Prime
