Season 4 ideas!
OK, they won't be a season 4 but hypothetically, what do you think should happen/could happen if there was. Your Season 4, Your rules! Post a description of an event and/or character and please explain the backstory! (I can post a better description if you dont understand and I will start to show you what I mean)
In Season 4, the Bad Future was a result of Megatron getting a Powermaster Upgrade.
In the Allspark Almanac, they imply that Cyclonus is from a Bad Future, they also mentioned that Sentinel created a Powermaster upgrade to be able to combat Megatron, which would make Sentinel just as strong as Megatron, at some point in the season, Megatron would have become interested in the Powermaster upgrade, and would equip it for himself. Think about this: If a Powermaster upgrade makes you just as strong as Megatron, just how powerful would Megatron become if he put it on himself? The answer: He manages to take over the galaxy, or worse. He'd also dub himself "Galvatron", to instill fear in everyone, the name reminding everyone that he took over the entire galaxy, and could never be stopped. Cyclonus was sent back in time to ensure this.
Sari and Bumblebee will form their own Kiss Players-style partnership.
Not only would this build on their existing relationship, but the end of the second season provides a good basis for actually making the whole "power-up via kiss" thing feasible. And since there's no chance of pervy Decepticons that eat people, it'll even get past the censors.
At some point, Sumdac Systems will be purchased by Buy 'n' Large.
See the WALL•E page for a full explanation of the theory.
Porter C. Powell is holding onto one of the AllSpark Shards in secret.
This way, he can manipulate the consequences of the Autobots finding out into a "legitimate" protest that the Autobots are really up to no good, provoking an intergalactic incident in order to profit from arms dealing. To go further, he has connections to Swindle or Megatron in the interests of making money, and can use the Shard as a bargaining chip.
Soundwave is going to team up with Starscream.
In G1, both disliked Megatron and rebelled against him. Also, since they were so often at odds in G1, the writers might like the idea of the two working together.
Sentinel Prime will become a Decepticon.
Come on, he's practically the Elite Guard version of The Starscream.
Blackarachnia will become an Autobot (again).
It wouldn't be the first time this has happened, and there have been hints in her characterization suggesting that Blackarachnia isn't beyond redemption. Not to mention her interactions with Optimus, which are as close to UST as robots get.
Starscream will corrupt the AllSpark.
Starscream's spark chamber is empty, but he's being kept alive by a fragment of the AllSpark in his head, which makes him immortal. However, his personality is intact, which may mean that his spark has fused with the AllSpark fragment. This suggests that eventually, the Autobots on Earth will recover all but one of the fragments, the last being the one in Starscream's head. When they recover this and combine it with the rest, the AllSpark will be corrupted by Starscream, and then... uh, something bad will happen.
Sari is the slider.
Haruhi only controls her own universe, so all she could do to create a slider was take an existing person from that universe and send her into another. And that's why there's no record of Sari's existence: in this universe, she never did exist until recently.
Transformers Animated is a prequel to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
The AllSpark is an enormous reservoir of Spiral energy, which has been shown to repair or upgrade robots. Sari's key is a primitive Core Drill. Eventually, Headmaster will develop the Lagann.
The Autobots are a totalitarian dictatorship and Megatron is trying to help the Decepticons, a group of outcasts from Autobot society.
So, we hear Megatron give his spiel about being a freedom fighter, wishing to unite the Decepticons and lead them back home. Now let's think about this. He welcomes anyone into the fold with open arms, including those who would be outcasts among the Autobots (particularly the tragically mutated Blackarachnia), and he even shares his personal supply of oil with the Constructicons. On the Autobot side, the highest ranking individual is the closed-minded and possibly senile Ultra Magnus; also in a very high position is the Jerkass Sentinel Prime. With these sorts of people guiding the Autobots, suddenly Megatron's spiel doesn't sound quite so hollow.
Female Starscream represents Starscream's opportunism.
She is the first one to switch sides the moment Megatron got the upper hand over Starscream. Secondly, her comment about Starscream not wanting to know what she represents is, in fact, an extremely self-serving statement that makes her sound like she is doing Starscream a favor in not providing him with useful information. That establishes her as self serving and shows she is aware of advantage and disadvantage in even seemingly simple situations. Her specific goals are unclear, but not being bound by megalomania, cowardice, bootlicking, and chronic lying, she is unlikely to actively seek the highest position, unless immediately advantageous.
Megatron will become Galvatron in the next season
Transformers Animated takes place in a world where superheroes and supervillains are already fairly common.
The people of Detroit are awfully quick to refer to the Transformers as the city's "very own superheroes," and nobody bats an eye when costumed villains like Nanosec and the Angry Archer show up — indeed, both Angry Archer and Professor Princess seem to already be operating, independent of Megatron's manipulations. Maybe it's the same world that Teen Titans and/or Ben 10 occur in?
The Transformers Animated universe is in fact an alternate universe of the original Transformers universe.
The timeline split occurred when the Matrix was lost after being passed to Alpha Trion. Orion Pax never become Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots — that name was instead taken by an Elite Guard washout with no relation to the Prime of the other universe. The AllSpark itself is Vector Sigma functioning under another name.
Sari is a prototype of a Cylon
Sari's Key is, among other things, a ZPM.
It seems to be be able to deliver a lot of energy, despite its size. This energy comes from vacuum space. The AllSpark itself is, besides an energy source, a Library of Babel that can imbue a Transformer with sufficient knowledge to function (and not be feral, like the movie). Finally, it converts matter into computronium long enough to build a functioning robot.
Sari has two daddies and a mommy: Sumdac, Megatron, and the AllSpark.
That protoform only appeared after Megatron had been in that lab for years, leading to Dude, She's Like, In a Coma! when the AllSpark took a trip up to the city and worked her mojo.
We'll be meeting the Spirit of Earth, and Sari is both her and Primus' love child.
Sari will become a Powermaster.
For one thing, there's a villain called Headmaster, so this series needs a Masterforce reference other than Red Alert's striking resemblance to Minerva. Sari's upgraded form is about the right size to act as a Powermaster, plus the conversion from human-looking to robotoid mirrors the transformations of the Headmaster Juniors and Godmasters. And of course she seems to be full of AllSpark power.
Blurr has become the Companion Cube
Cliffjumper decided at the last minute it would be more productive to recycle rather then incinerate. He sent cube-Blurr to their other Elite Guard operative GLaDOS.
The Constructicons will eventually come to form Devastator, who will be equipped with a drill
Dirt Boss has just joined the group, and there doesn't seem much reason for him to unless the writers plan on doing this. As for the drill part, a drill is a construction tool, and Dirt Boss is stated to designed in homage to Lagann...
When Ironhide noticed that Ultra Magnus' hammer was missing...He was secretly hoping to loot it off his body
Sentinel Prime will get some Character Development and become a nicer person.
Out of all the Autobots, Sentinel is the biggest contributor to the Black and Gray Morality of the Autobot/Decepticon conflict. (The Autobot scientists who created Omega Supreme at least had the excuse of being at war, Sentinel is just a jerk for the sake of being a jerk.) The writers will attempt to fix this by giving the big-chinned jerk some development, maybe have him learn an Aesop. While it's rather unlikely Sentinel will become a straight-faced hero, becoming a Jerk with a Heart of Gold seems plausible.
The jet twins are the robot versions of Thunder and Lighting from Teen Titans
Think about. Yellow and blue, say brother WAY too much, powers are water and heat based. Not a hard connection to make. Animated is made by the same company who made Teen Titans, after all.
Optimus Prime and his crew were formed primarily to guard Omega Supreme, though they themselves may not have been told this.
Let's look at the crew. Optimus Prime, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee all attended Autobot Academy, and Bulkhead is recognised as the greatest authority on space bridges. Bumblebee's stingers have combat settings. Prowl is an accomplished ninja. Ratchet is Omega's guide/mentor. That's a rather impressive team for repairing out-of-the-way space bridges. More likely, this team was assembled by Ultra Magnus to keep Omega Supreme out of Decepticon servos. Magnus wouldn't be able to justify sending Academy graduates on such an assignment, but it would make the perfect cover for a group of dropouts and old-timers. They probably weren't told the true nature of their mission in order that if they were attacked by Decepticons, they wouldn't reveal the true nature of their ship.
This theory indicates that Ultra Magnus knew Megatron was still online and the 'Cons had yet to be defeated. Since he has previously been show to be entirely willing to suppress information in the name of keeping order, this is entirely plausible.
Optimus' Crew is either the reincarnation of or the alternate-universe counterpart of the main characters from Gargoyles.
I mean, just look at them:
Safeguard can use Fire Spin.
Rule Of Cool. Also, a fire tornado would be an appropriate both your powers combined move, given Jetfire's fireballs and Jetstorm's Hurricane Hands. Sentinel Prime stopped the fight before we got to see. Killjoy.
All of Optimus's team will get "military grade" upgrades over the third season.
So far in the series, Bumblebee's Stingers (which previously caused him to be Shooting Superman whenever he went up against bigger opponents) have had their power dampeners removed, restoring them to pre-Autoboot Camp military effectiveness, and Prowl has regained (apparently for good) his "Samurai Armour" upgrades. Given that the Decepticons will be playing a much bigger role in the series, the Autobots' biggest weapon is currently transwarping randomly around the universe, and at least one of the other three has a "military" figure in the toyline (Bulkhead's Leader class model, which apparently represents the changes that the Headmaster would have made to Bulkhead's body if he'd kept it long enough), it seems likely that Optimus, Ratchet and Bulkhead will also get tricked out.
Optimus is building up reasons to have Sentinel removed from command.
That could be the "have it out" he was talking about. You have to figure that Lockdown is pretty high on the "public enemy" list, so working with him would be a pretty big crime for a military officer without some serious extenuating circumstances.
When the series is over, Optimus will be promoted to Magnus
Even if, by the grace of Primus, Ultra survives, chances are he'll want to retire after something like that. Optimus will be redeemed by the series end due to his inevitable defeat of Megatron, so chances are pretty good.
Warpath is an ex-Decepticon.
Helps explain his bad attitude and the fact that he's armed with a gun.
Cybertronians don't have anything resembling childhood, and thusly don't understand the concept.
There's a fair bit of evidence that part of the process of "manufacturing" a protoform involves uploading all kinds of basic data, so that the newly assembled Transformer is ready to take their role in life immediately upon activation. In essence, the state of life that humans and other organics go through in order to acquire basic life skills, childhood, is completed while a Cybertronian is "in utero" (so to speak), and they are thusly "born" as fully functional adults. Unless something goes wrong with the creation process, the only difference between a Cybertronian who's been online for decades and one who just came out of the pod is the former is more experienced. I admit that Sari is a bit of kink in this theory, but she did come online in a place without the data network of Cybertron, was raised to believe she was a member of an entirely different species, and did look rather "underdeveloped"- compare the protoform Sari to the sparkless protoform that Prowl attempts to use to resurrect Yoketron in Five Servos of Doom. It's possible that her pod was "cracked" when she was physically ready to be "born", but she hadn't yet received her data upload. Or it could have something to do with her being technorganic.
Blackarachnia and Waspinator went back in time.
They went to a forested area with no one around. They were found by a gorilla, a rhino, a cheetah, and a giant rat. The transwarp drive was described in Beast Wars as working through time as well as space.
There is a "good" Starscream clone that will become an Autobot
Every clone so far has been a massive amplification of one aspect of his personality. And let's face it, even Starscream must have some amount of bravery to balance out his instinct for cowardice. So you pull that aspect out and amplify it and you end up with an incredibly brave jet, and one unlikely to fight for the Decepticon cause. So this "brave Starscream" will defect to the Autobots and become their Earth-based air support.
The Dinobots will join the Detroit Police Force.
With all the supervillains and Decepticons running around Detroit, it's obvious that the police force can't do anything about them unless the Autobots are around. Captain Fanzone knows that the Dinobots are on Dinobot Island. Three official pardons and swearings later, and the Dinobots are official protectors of Detroit, rather then on-again, off-again villains. But really, this theory exists less for logic and more for he Rule Of Cool.
Waspinator is going to do something unpleasant to Blackarachnia as part of his plans
For one thing, he has a serious grudge against Blackarachnia for using him as a guinea pig, and this version of Waspinator is both insane and big on grudges. Another thing to consider is the manner in which real wasps prey on spiders...
Maximals and Predacons are simply subgroups in this continuity
Rather than separate races like Beast Wars. If Blackarachnia and Waspinator are Predacons, that would make Sari a Maximal with a human as her beast mode.
Sari is going to continue growing at a human rate until she reaches normal size- normal size for a Transformer
Blackarachnia and Waspinator aren't exactly normal arthropod size, so that's 2/3 of the known technorganics built on the scale of the technology side, not the organic side. Sari's just growing at her altmode's rate because she took her altmode before her primary mode, and so didn't have the major initial growth normal for Cybertronians. Girl is going to have one hell of a growth spurt when she hits puberty, temporally. Sudden cravings for metal and hydrocarbon-based liquids optional.
The Autobots are the ones who put Arcee in a coma.
Arcee was far too dangerous to be left to run around Cybertron. She had no memory, making her very vulnerable, but she still carried the Omega codes around in her head. Killing her would just be barbaric, so they never turned her back on and just left her in a closet after the war.
Sentinel Prime used to be capable.
It would explain how he got to such a high position. While it's been implied that Sentinel got so far because of his connections, successor to Ultra Magnus is pushing it a little bit. At some time between his days as a drill sargeant and the present, Sentinel did something heroic that catapulted him to the highest ranks of the Elite Guard. However, since this is Sentinel we're talking about, the promotion only blew his ego up to massive proportions, and he's been sitting on his laurels ever since, content with the belief that he is an awesomely amazing Autobot. Of course, by now he's been coasting far too long.
Blitzwing is actually two separate Transformers fused into one being.
This would explain his multiple personalities and alternate modes. The Random persona is actually a result of the two minds becoming unstable and fusing, which is why Random is able to reconcile Icy and hothead when they argue.
Wreck-Gar will become Magnus
Ultra Magnus will survive, and use Sentinel Prime's skidplate for taget practice. He'll then plan on retiring, and decide that serious thought should go into his sucessor, lest another Sentinel take his place. After speaking with many Autobots (including Jazz, Jetfire, and Jetstorm), he will find that Optimus Prime is the best choice.
But Optimus, being the kind of bot he is, refuses the position. Magnus will understand, and ask for recommendations. Our final shot of the series will be of Wreck-Gar holding Magnus' hammer, giving a cry of "I AM WRECK-GAR, MAGNUS!"
Blurr will take over Starscream's original body.
In some way or another, either Blurr's spark or the cubed Blurr will wind up in Starscream's body. Blurr will take over the functions and come in to help the Autobots. Not sure about the whole "no head" thing, though.
Due to her upgrade, Sari's head is the only part of her that is still organic in any significant way.
Sentinel's days are numbered.
In every other continuity where he's appeared, Sentinel's sole purpose in the story has been to die to make way for Optimus to become supreme commander of the Autobots. Sentinel is now Magnus, with Optimus being the obvious choice for successor if he dies. TFA Season 3 is Darker and Edgier than seasons 1 and 2. Sentinel is a jerk, so no one would mind too much in real life if he got whacked, and lately he's been building up exactly the sort of bad karma that The Plot Reaper aims for. 1+1+1+1=4, and Four is Death; this troper would bet dollars to energon that Sentinel will be dead by the end of season 3.
Decepticons are, slowly, going extinct.
Okay, there are only about 11 Decepticons shown over the course of the series, not counting turncoats, clones or earth-born ones. Meanwhile, there are 20-30 named Autobots and a fully populated planet Cybertron. Plus, all Decepticons shown are old, veterans of the great war. Meanwhile there are plenty of new Autobots, like Bumblebee and the jet brothers. Also, remember that Autobots had a massive stash of protoforms on Cybertron, which the Decepticons stole. So, the theory goes that Decepticons have no way of reproducing, and possibly the only means to do so exist on Cybertron itself.
Blitzwing has a fourth personality
This one is both extreamly devious and extremly introverted. He stays quiet in the back of Blitzwings mind, letting the others control him until the right time to strike and take over the Decepticons as new leader. He probabaly also has a plan to eventually put each personality into a new body so that they don't drive each other even more crazy than they already are.
Optimus will assume leadership of the Autobots and prepare to lead them into battle against the Decepticons, now in open war.
The series seems to have set itself up so that it now resembles the beginning of many Transformer continuities. Sentinel Prime is now leader of the Autobots and as in all other continuities will be killed by Megatron causing Optimus to take his place. Megatron's people will assault Cybertron to liberate their leader, which will prove to be the cataclyst that causes the Generation One characters we've seen in cameos to take an active role in the war against the Decepticons, who have had enough of hiding after having their plans aborted so many times.
Strika will rise to lead the remaining Decepticons against the Autobots.
Unless Megatron breaks out of the slammer, she's the highest-ranked one we've seen who's still free. Either Optimus or Rodimus will sortie against them with both teams under his command.
The Clones will (unwillingly) sacrifice themselves to resurrect Starscream
It was stated that each clone embodies a fragment of Starscream's mind/personality. With the original having been killed off for real when the All-Spark fragment in his head was removed, and given both the mystical nature of the All-Spark and Starscream's record for making pre-emptive plans (turning the Lugnut Supremes into bombs, for example), the Clone-Screams will be drawn together. And when all are in place, they will fuse together and transform into a new Starscream.
Sari can hear the Voice of Primus
Because she absorbed the power of her Key. She doesn't "know stuff" because her processor/brain's been upgraded, she knows stuff because the Power of the Key enables Primus to whisper key bits of info into her ear when neccesary.
Alternatively, Sari is now a techno-path
All those glowy pulse thingies is actually her communicating with other machines on a non-verbal level. Probably something to do with her human brain interacting with her robotic upgrade, perhaps allowing her hands to act as mechanical receptors that lets her hear what the machines desire. Hence how she knew the jetpack needed tuning, and Arcee called out to her to save her in the best way she knew how. (Pretty smart)
Sari will, after the finale, move to Cybertron
Its the only place to go to learn about her heritage, and the only place where she could learn how her protoform got to Earth in the first place. Plus, with her ability to "know stuff", the Cybertronian Academy of Sciences will be falling over itself to recruit her, and will likely offer a study into her origins as payment for her research services.
Prowl has Ascended
His spark is now one with the AllSpark, and was able to save Optimus from the blast radius. He will return as a Spirit Advisor to mentor his friends.
Female Starscream, Wreck-Gar, and the Constructicons are dead as of "Endgame, Part II"
Prowl and Jazz use processor-over-matter to draw all the AllSpark fragments from across Detroit into one place; this includes the spark in Starscream's head. Since Female Starscream, Wreck-Gar, and the Constructicons were brought to life by AllSpark fragments, it stands to reason their fragments would also have been brought out. (The Dinobots and Soundwave were animated by Sari's key, so they wouldn't be affected. The origins of Laserbeak and Ratbat are unknown.)
Female Starscream survived and will become The Starscream for the new Decepticon leader.
Female Starscream appears to have the ambition and treachery of the original Starscream, as seen in A Bridge Too Close, as well as not being weighed down by the egomania/lying/syncophancy/cowardice of the other clones. If the Decepticons get a new leader, it's likely Female Starscream will join up, plotting to off said leader and gain leadership.
Ratchet thinks upgrades are bad due to his experience with Lockdown
The other mature Autobots only seem to act that "Upgrades are bad" when used irresponsibly or when out of their league. Ratchet on the other hand keeps harping about how "Autobots don't fly" despite Jet Fire, Jet Storm and (for some reason he keeps forgetting) Omega Supreme. He's had the worst surviving experience with Lockdown, and he is a bit of a psychotic freak.
The Decepticons have mind control tech
Optimus said in "Rise of the Construtacons" that as long as they lack the Con branding, they still had a choice. He might be speaking metaphorically, but... If you pay close attention in "Along Came A Spider," Blackarachnia, broken and lost, was begging Optimus to leave her so he wouldn't see her sorry state. She's so lost and disgusted with HERSELF. But as Optimus pleads with her to return with him, something seems to "click" in her. You can see her eyes flash red, and faintly hear what sounds like a computer booting up. Then all her anger and pain, she turns it from herself to HIM. It's not Freudian psychology at work, but Decepticon programming—a shell program
Sentinel Prime is more insecure than he lets on.
While there is some implications of Sentinel Prime having a inferiority complex towards Optimus Prime, it may possibly go deeper than what has been seen. He knows that Optimus is better and more efficient, as he did score the highest in the training simulation. He almost always manage to show him up (Usually while bailing him out) and manages to earn Ultra Magnus' favor while Sentinel is told that he could be more like him (And this is after he's discharged from the Academy). And the Autobots under Optimus' command respect him while Sentinel's... Let's just say Jazz demonstrated how much respect (or lack thereof) they have for Sentinel. Sentinel's feelings of inferiority to Optimus had built up in his mind over time, causing him to pull rank at every opportunity just to be recognized as superior of the two. He constantly puts up a mask of arrogance to hide his insecurity. When Sentinel blamed Optimus for Elita-1's death, it could possibly be seen as a desperate attempt to find one instance of Optimus not being so perfect for once. One could possibly see Sentinel's actions in "Five Servos of Doom," let alone his comments about Optimus always enjoying "being the hero" as an example of him looking for a chance to be the "Primer Prime." In Sentinel's mind, he feels that he's being unfairly compared to Optimus, who is a borderline Marty Stu who's Always Someone Better. It could also explain his Jerkassery. He may come off as unbearable to many, but perhaps no one hates Sentinel more than himself. Optimus knows this, which explains why he is always quick to defend Sentinel and/or cover for him. He knows that if he actually did report Sentinel's misconduct or blunders (Thus getting him demoted or even kicked out of the Elite Guard), it would cause him to snap.
Sari is somehow related
Otherwise known as the torso component of Nexus Maximus Cybertronians are color-blind
Nobody notices anything unusual about the original Coward and Sycophant Starscreams except for their attitudes—they literally can't tell the difference between clones and the real Starscream. Nobody even notices that they look completely different from each other, and Swindle has just as much trouble telling the Sycophant and the Liar apart later on.
Starscream is also part of the Allspark.
It would make sense, his soul was probably contained within the Allspark fragment, meaning that Starscream is also an Allspark spirit, and that he and Prowl are fighting inside of it.
Blackarachnia's going to begin reformatting other cybertronians into techno-organics.
Prowl and Starscream will return.
Shockwave wasn't the only shapeshifter at some point in the past.
Shockwave was originally a neutral or (unlikely) an Autobot.
Protoforms are being used as an Author Tract to discuss Stem Cell Research.
Ultra Magnus doesn't like his position.
A fourth series is going to be made in Japan.
Lugnut's processor was completely fried after the events of "Endgame"
Being forcefully ejected from Omega Supreme and having control of Megatron's clone squadron violently cut off created a feedback effect that wiped Lugnut's processor. All the other Decepticons were seen being apprehended except for Lugnut; the Autobots didn't have to overpower him because he was rendered into the same catatonic state Arcee was in for the majority of the series.
Slipstream is actually Starscream
When Megatron supposedly "killed" Starscream, his spark was energize by the allspark-powered key to be immortal which left his body. The now-immortal spark flies off to the remains of the Decepticon ship and discovers the protoforms. Thus he gains a new body, but decides to make some "modifications" to it, thus remodeling himself. "Slipstream" then goes back to earth, manages to find a shard of the allspark, then embeds it inside of the now-lifeless shell of "her" former body and brings it back to life. She decides to watch on as the "corpse" acts accordingly in his bid to take down Megatron. The creation of the Starscream clones were a convenient coincidence for her as she could Hand Wave her appearance as part of them. Her hatred of Starscream could easily be explained as resentment for the drone who has stolen his identity and making a joke out of his name (a sign of his vanity overclouding his judgment). Nevertheless, the situation has developed into into a Xanatos Gambit: If "Starscream" manages to defeat Megatron, it would be easy to dispose of the impostor. If he doesn't, turning against him would be a way to prove her loyalty to Megatron, throwing off suspicion of her true motive.
Lugnut and Strika's marriage is a political one, and not a very happy one.
I mean, can you imagine being married to Lugnut? "Your optics...they remind me of the GREAT AND GLORIOUS MEGATRON!" "The way you command your troops...echoes the GREAT AND GLORIOUS MEGATRON'S GREATEST SPEECHES!" "Your energon casserole...is almost as good as the GREAT AND GLORIOUS MEGATRON'S BLUEBERRY MUFFINS!" While Lugnut may genuinely be in love with her, it's hard to see Strika putting up with that.
Earth and the moon loves Tara Strong's voice
That's why every female character born on earth or the moon is voiced by her.
Jetfire is suffering from Depression
It's no secret that the twins idolize Sentinel as some sort of father figure, learning from him and following his orders to the letter. They are growing up to be mindlessly obedient, always aiming to please and occasionally over-doing orders that Sentinel gave them, exaggerating the idea further than they should.
Now, seeing as Sentinel is a huge Jerkface, he would probably over-react to small failures that Jetfire may or may not actually do. Or perhaps, just has really bad days and blames Jetfire and Jetstorm for any random whatever that he goes through. Constantly calling them names and treating them very badly.
This chews away at Jetfire endlessly. He, being the more expressive and emotional of the Jettwins (if him exploding in an enormous fireball at the thought of his brother being dead are any indication), will probably blow the meaningless-in-long-run insults and derogatory comments out of proportion, constantly seeing himself as inadequate and a complete failure. Him resorting to hurting himself is not him trying to lessen the pain inside by hurting himself outside, but him punishing himself for things that he didn't even do. He honestly believes that he should punish himself, in order to make Sentinel happy; slapping a smile to his face when in the company of others to keep them from suspecting anything.
Don't blame Sentinel completely though; Jetfire himself is probably emotionally unstable enough to spiral into depression anyways, Jetstorm is most likely unsure of what to do to help his brother and instead keeps his distance instead of helping him, and Sentinel doesn't realize what Jetfire's putting himself through because he's so busy with other things and Jetfire's really good at hiding it.
Swoop will become Magnus.
It's a very prevalent meme in both the TFARP of Twitter and the RP on Formspring, even getting one of the fans to start designing him! Heck, even Derrick J. Wyatt approves of Swoop Magnus! This is a sign. His day will come, and he will prove himself worthy!
There eventually would have been a crossover with G.I. Joe.
Just read the final note on Notes The Cloaked Mystery Villain
This is actually the results of Beast Machines Megatron altering the timeline so that he is Optimus Prime.
What, did you think it was a coincidence that David Kaye voiced Optimus this time around?
In the Animated Shattered Glass Universe, the Decepticons are morally ambiguous
The Shattered Glass universe has the heroes and villains switch sides. But the Autobots in Animated are quite morally ambiguous. So it becomes instead of Good Vs Evil, Neutral with Redeemable Points Vs Evil. Starscream will be like Sentinel Prime, albeit more experienced.
Sari is a Quintesson experiment.
After Lockdown stole the protoforms he was approached by a group of Quintessons. Lockdown decided to make a little profit on the side and sold them one. The Quintessons modified "Sari" to become a techno-organic creature because they are interested in the technology. They sent her to Earth prgramed to absorb and then integrate the DNA of a native. Then when she had grown enough the Quintessons plan to abduct her and cut her open to learn more about how Transformer tech and organic biology interect, possiblly with the intent to replicate it without having a protoform handy. It's also possible there are other protoform babies like Sari out there somewhere.
Had the series finished at Season 4, there would have been a Distant Finale...
...And in the Distant Finale, Earth would be much more advanced, the characters sporting new alt modes and scars, and there would be a monologue, the character monologuing? Optimus Prime, voiced by Peter Cullen and given a somewhat bulkier look.
Ultra Magnus engineered the recovery of the AllSpark.
Ultra Magnus always felt Optimus was a better officer than Sentinel, and hoped to set him up as his successor. Forced to expel Optimus from the Academy on a technicality, he "pulled the strings" to assign him to the ship that was actually a dormant Omega Supreme — this is seen in the actual show. What if Ultra also planned the ship's future route? The double discovery of Prowl and the AllSpark seems too lucky to be an accident. Perhaps Ultra Magnus knew of its location all along, and steered Optimus along the path where he could reactivate Omega Supreme, and thus get the leverage he needed to make up for his reported misdeed and get into the Elite Guard. Except the Decepticons interfered, setting up the events of the series.
Swoop is actually an Insufferable Genius who's Obfuscating Stupidity.
