This series just keeps getting better

Does this mean we see that Megatron is Constructed Cold? Or is it still as ambiguous as Roberts has kept it thus far?

Maybe...MAYBE.
Here's the thing, Megatron has been IDd as a point-one-percentor yet he still doesn't want to talk about it and his reasoning has always been that even though classism is gone, it's still around if you identify your spark. Anyway, megatrons spark is blue here and point-one-percentors are green. It just so happens Brainstorm has a POP in his possession from Luna One and he has it with him because the briefcase only allows 2 spark types. That's how so many different types of bots went back to stop brainstorm.
Here's the theory, the original Megatron(guy not finished being built) is going to die and they use the point-one-percentor spark to give life to the Megatron we all know and love/hate. Possibly making his birth as forged or constructed cold and touchy issue.

I wonder if Megatron's Potential-Point-One-Percenter spark coming from Cybertron's lost moon 5 million years in the future will have any further story implications..
I have no idea what, but I could see it having some significance.

Almost as if the time-travel paradox is that Brainstorm is meant to do whatever he plans on doing anyway, and that Rodimus and Friends preventing him from doing so would actually be worse than allowing him to follow through!

It still doesn't explain the functionist time frame since apparent rodimus's team are creating pre-existing things like rung starting the fight, being sighted building the lost light model or Roller becoming tarn, yet brainstorm can change stuff. My guess and its a stretch is that the funtionalist universe only exists for a small moment of Megatron being dead and coming back to life. A giant WHAT IF situation.

Well, for one thing it makes Rodimus responsible for Megatron existing. Remember that that spark only exists because Rodimus had the Matrix with him to ignite the hot spot, which means he and Megatron have the closest thing I can imagine to a father/son relationship in the IDWverse. Seeing how that affects these two should be amazing.

Well, we assume that's what ignited the hot spot, but there was one other bot who hit the ground at the same time as Rodimus...

Yarp.
It may all be a red herring, but it's out there. We still don't quite know what exactly Rung is, even if his status as a historical constant has seemingly been addressed.

It's not the same blue as the panals around him anyway so the whole moon spark thing could be a red herring ( if ya excuse the chromatic humour ::). -)

Also I think brainstorms endgame was to return functionalist control; but we'll see Wednesday.
