Ok so I was browsing on Facebook and I was joining random TF groups on there. Just to have a look at what their like, when I came across a group called 'Til All Are One group' or something or other… But the group actually called it's self something like, 'TF TAAO Group'.
When I read that I thought of the actually TAO of Taoism. So I did a quick wiki scan of the topic, allow me to share….
Tao is a Chinese concept signifying 'way', 'path', 'route', or sometimes more loosely, 'doctrine' or 'principle'. Within the context of traditional Chinese philosophy and religion,… referred to in English with the single term Taoism. The concept of Tao was shared with Confucianism, Chán and Zen Buddhism and more broadly throughout East Asian philosophy and religion in general. Within these contexts Tao signifies the primordial essence or fundamental nature of the universe. In the foundational text of Taoism, the Tao Te Ching, Laozi explains that Tao is not a 'name' for a 'thing' but the underlying natural order of the universe whose ultimate essence is difficult to circumscribe…. In Taoism, Chinese Buddhism and Confucianism, the object of spiritual practice is to 'become one with the tao' (Tao Te Ching) or to harmonise one's will with Nature….
Becoming one with the TAO. Or Until All Are One! A coincidence for sure but kind of close.

What struck me is the opening part - "Tao is a Chinese concept signifying 'way', 'path', 'route', or sometimes more loosely, 'doctrine' or 'principle'" Way of the One? Not too much of a stretch either as well as the initials. You say becoming Autobot leader is to "Become one with the Matrix" as it essentially it as as you're getting all the wisdom from the other Primes before you.
