- It is pure RNG if both are 100% TM. It works just like Home One’s ultimate buff. If an enemy ship hits 100% TM during your fleet’s bonus turns from the buff, the opposing ship can go first. If it’s a mirror match and the enemy Ackbar gets to pop off their ultimate right after you apply it to your fleet, the enemy team can destroy your fleet or rob your TM due to RNG. GMY is same concept.
- Fun fact:
Frenzy text: "unit gains 100% turn meter"
Frenzy mechanic: add 100% turn meter to unit, subtract 1% from all other units
Frenzy behavior: unit gets bonus turn
Masterstroke text: "gains an immediate bonus turn"
Masterstroke mechanic: add 100% turn meter to unit
Masterstroke behavior: unit may get a bonus turn if no other units are at 100% TM or if the unit winds a coin toss against other units at 100% TM "jhbuchholz;c-1928300" wrote:

So GMY "gains an immediate bonus turn" but it's not always immediate in gameplay. They should make it work like the frenzy mechanic or use accurate wording.- It is still the most hilariously named ability in the game.
- @Finch1221 and @USAFmedic129 :
I'm afraid, you are both wrong. Other characters are not supposed to be able to perform any actions in between GMY's Master Stroke and his immediate bonus turn. GMY is guaranteed to perform the next action even if other characters are also at 100% after he received his immediate bonus turn. "Waqui;c-1928698" wrote:

I'll admit, reading the mechanics isn't always easy but I didn't see any such guarantee in there. Can you point out out for me?"jhbuchholz;c-1928300" wrote:

A few corrections and additions:
Getting a bonus turn and getting 100% bonus turn meter is the same thing - only difference is (apparently) that the bonus turn can't be prevented by daze, shock etc. while getting 100% bonus TM can.
Han Solo is not guaranteed to go first after he received his bonus turn, whereas GMY is guaranteed to go first after receiving his immediate bonus turn."Waqui;c-1928711" wrote:

Care to back that up with examples of the mechanics? Last I looked getting a bonus turn and getting 100% bonus turn meter was not always the same thing and I demonstrated it above by showing the actual mechanics. I may be wrong and I'd like you to show me of I am so I can better understand the mechanics.- There are posts somewhere. Gmy was one of the few who was guaranteed the next turn, but then they eventually changed thrawns tm swap to do it too.

Very helpful :D
Although, it does help prove the point I was making which is that CG is so bad at writing ability descriptions that you have to go to a third party site to read the mechanics to fully understand what many characters do. And now it seems (unless someone can help decipher where in GMY's mechanics the "guarantee" is identified) you also have to read every dev post in the forums for details that might not be exposed in the mechanics.
I'm still hoping someone can show me what part of GMYs mechanics on swgoh.gg show the guarantee because I'd like to look at other TM gain and bonus turn skills to see how consistent this is.
