    Alright, more like fan series but I got no idea where to place this.
    I haven't settled on a final name, But I'm considering "Revitalization".
    Also goes by the working name "Bring the Rain project"
    I'm going to be a bit sparse on details because I'm scared it'll be stolen (gotta be safe, right?)
    I'm making a fan series, currently gathering figures for it. It'll be based off the Bay movies, taking place in one of the Tyran streams (Looking for a piece of tie in material's date's to give the number to the stream a la Vector Prime). Minor differences include, the Twins die in DOTM, Optimus never scanned a new form after his Peterbilt (using himself as bait to lure Cemetery Wind away from an Autobot, but that ended up backfiring and made him be stuck in the theater. Cade and Lucas will come in, Cade will say "These trucks go for over $100,000 restored! everyone wants a Prime truck of their own", buys it, then the rest of the movie plays out (except scanning the Western Star truck).
    So, Ramjet crashes on earth, and the Autobots go out of their newly constructed base to kill him. Turns out he had a formula for a gas that could bring a Cybertronian back from dust, Clear and nontoxic to humans. Then Optimus Prime crash lands back down on earth, severely damaged but won the fight, and He's in the sick bay of the base. The Autobots, naturally, start making the gas, contained in large tanks. Galvatron sets off a couple of unused drones in the city as a distraction, and destroys the Autobot base with them gone. The gas is highly explosive, exploding and covering the whole earth in this gas. Bringing almost all Transformers (all from the movies, several from the toyline, total of about 60-ish characters) back online, and making Galvatron a real Cybertronian, with a spark, and Stinger back online and the same. After Sentinel Prime begs Optimus Prime to not kill him, The Autobots now lead their forces to destroy every single Decepticon, with a new one or two being hunted down each episode. A la RID (But i had this idea before watching that series).

    The Help I Need: A way to make Skids and Mudflap smart and funny (Because the gas also fixed the damage that Decepticon medic did), a good song for the credits of the last episode, an actual way to end the series, and a way for Optimus and Bumblebee to die mid series and Sentinel to take over (With everyone having doubts, but proving to be a good leader and genuinely turned a new leaf).

    Thanks!
    Please don't steal my ideas

    How to make the twins smart? Rely heavily on the IDW comics Tales of the Fallen story, wherein they were experimented on by Flatline, and imply that it had a massive impact on what would have otherwise been average cybertronian intelligence. Read up on how they were beforehand. Whatever device you use to bring them back from the rust fixes that as well. Unless you mean how to write them that way, in which case, all I can say is practice, practice, practice, and go through as many drafts as you need to.

    How to make the twins funny? Good writing is the only way I can think of, I'm afraid. I can't think of a reason why they CAN'T be funny, given they were played up as comic relief (to a debatable level of effectiveness) in the ROTF film.

    Ending song? Maybe something else by Linkin Park, as the first three movies ended with? Or maybe something instrumental from Prime or one of the other Bay films?

    An actual way to end the series? You're on your own there, and I wouldn't want to ruin it, but one way to figure out an ending could be to just think about how your characters would act, how the other characters would react to that, etc. etc. until the situation reaches an end you're happy with.

    How to kill off Optimus and Bumblebee? If they're still at war with the Decepticons in the movie universe, there is still very real danger at every turn. Maybe they fall in battle with some big bad, maybe they nobly sacrifice themselves to stop some doomsday device, or maybe some grunt just gets lucky and they catch a missile in a crossfire. Both Bumblebee and Optimus have come close to death on a number of occasions in the films. Try figuring out your overall story arc and then fill in the details once you have that.

    Hopefully this helps a bit.

    Thanks, it does a lot. I found away for Prime to die. Without giving away too much, it involves Devastator.
