    CW Alpha Bravo is most bitter and sarcastic person in the Aerialbots because he has to combine with a team full of insane airplanes.

    Beast hunters Arcee, Cybertron Optimus prime (armada toy redeco), Movie Grimlock, Power core combiners Steelshot and Movie Shyhammer are basically the Guardians of the Galaxy.

    Also Rage over Cybertron WFC Megatron with a custom pirate hat is a pirate Galvatron...

    I actually got another one.

    The Battle Core Optimus is actually Nova Prime, and he uses the darkness to gain the powers of other bots, and then combine with them to form Nova Maximus.

    He is made of:

    Blades
    Drag Strip
    Air Raid
    Mirage
    Blackjack
    And of course Nova Prime.

    My Dead End is basically the ROTF scout/Priem Dead End...basically a scary monstrous energon vampire but he's got a Bruce Banner thing going on where he's terrified to unleash his inner beast.

    The Constructicons from Classics (The Energon Constructicon Maximus repaint) aren't the actual Constructicons, but interns. They help power up Hook and Long Haul (Hercules is the Devastator in my collection, so they can actually connect), and are generally pretty cool 'bots.

    In addition, Mixmaster is the leader of the troupe for a change, and the members that make up the bottom half of the combiner (Long Haul, Mixmaster, and Scrapper) are all female. Mixmaster did this to see what would happen if a combiner had an equal number of transformers identifying as male and female. As it turns out, it's just kind of a crap-shoot whenever they combine. Devastator might be male or female whenever the team combines.

    BW Rampage was meant to be the Autobot answer to the Phase Sixers (after all, Prowl expressed interest in reverse-engineering them or something along those lines), and the experiments drove him mad but succeeded in making him uber-strong. I renamed Atrocity to differentiate him from G1 Rampage, which I thought fitted.

    His "special spark" is just him being a Point One Percenter, his healing factor's that self-regenerating molecular armor that was hand-waved in the first Bay film (when they examined Scorponok's tail), and his endoskeleton is practically indestructible like the other Phase Sixers (wasn't made that way with the same material, of course. That stuff ran out).

    Rook isn't actually a true sentient transformer but a drone that Groove has taken control of to better power up the team. This is why sometimes he attaches to Rook to form a leg rather than as Defensor's breastplate.

    After rumors of his demise had been been greatly exaggerated and Slingshot had returned as Quickslinger, he gave Alpha Bravo a swift and decisive beatdown that left no doubt as to who the real 5th Aerialbot is (and always shall be). AB now works as a free agent, combining with whichever Autobot torso will have him at the moment (if any).

    Off Road might believe in the Decepticon cause in theory, but often disagrees with the leaders of that cause and their particular missions. He really didn't care when Brakeneck took his spot back on the Stunticons. Though definitely not an Autobot (no never) he has no problem sometimes joining forces with them when his goals align more with theirs than that of the Decepticons at the moment. He's even known to sometimes combine with Optimus to help form Ultra Prime on occasion.

    Why would an Autobot beat up another Autobot to prove that he is a better one? It seems contradictory, since attacking an ally would normally get someone on their faction's bad side. Just bringing up a possible discussion topic/question.

    I quite like that Offroad head canon, though.
    ______________
    On topic, I have a few movie ones to share:

    I took Drift's "We are all that is left" quite literally, all of the original trilogy Autobots aside from Optimus and Bumblebee are dead.

    The original trilogy humans are dead in my head canon as well. It goes off the idea that Attinger was going to get the Yeagers and their friend killed in their search for Prime, so any person fiercely loyal to the Autobots would not want to give up their positions and may be a hindrance on Cemetery Wind's plans.

    I know, I am probably thinking too deeply.

    My headcanons are actually pretty vanilla.

    G1 Wheelie was mentally damaged after being isolated on Quintessa for so long, and the death of his parents. That is why he talks in rhyme. I think this is kind of semi canon since it was stated on the Generations toy tech spec.

    If Whirl had appeared in TFA, he would have been made from the same protoform mold as Shockwave.

    I believe Magnum was rebuilt into Ultra Magnus.

    The Autobots from Shattered Glass universe are actually a lot more crueler and more sadistic than the Decepticons from the primary universe. This is evidenced by the fact that Optimus Prime has a collection of Decepticon corpses in his hallway.

    I prefer to see Galvatron as his own personality, rather than just Megs with a new body. He does have Megs' memories however. The personality of Megatron is dormant within him.

    I remember back in 5th grade (2008) I was watching G1 on You Tube and when I playing with my toys I had it place after the Rebirth and brought back to life any 1984 Autobot who died. So I had Movie Ironhide and 2003 Universe Ratchet fighting alongside Classics Rodimus and Universe Ultra Magnus fighting RID Megatron (Who I used as Galvatron)

    Good times....

    I think you might be mixing things.
    heres Wheelies tech spec.............theres nothing about Quintessa or the death of his parents.
    http://tfarchive.com/toys/techspecs/original-era/1986__Wheelie.jpg
    "WHEELIE
    Allegiance: Autobot
    Function: Survivalist

    ""Only the fierce shall live."

    Wheelie is the sole survivor from a party of intergalactic colonists who crash landed on earth. He's a barbaric little savage who managed to stay alive by cunning, stealth, and fearlessness. Speaks in odd rhyming sentences and despises the Decepticons. Fights only when he's under attack and has to defend himself. Staunch friend to the Dinobots and a reliable ally for Hot Rod and Kup."

    Sideways has no free will. It's actually the Mini-Cons who are in control.

    Agreed. I'd also love to know how they wound up there, and think something akin to what you suggest is probably what happened.

    Another personal headcanon is that because Blast Off is aristocratic and sees himself as "sophisticated" he enjoys a form of energon that is basically "ener-wine"- because wine is classy.

    In my head canon TAV Roadblock is a replacement limb for the Constructicons, and he is essentially a clone of Scrapper, acting like him and being the annoying tag along comic relief 'Con.

    Soundwave in TFP is a further upgrade of the WFC/FoC Soundblaster, increasing the amount of "arcane magic" in him, morphing his body horrifically and turning him mostly silent. Any other form of power other than "arcane magic" (up to and including Dark Energon) was considered safer by that point, because god knows what it could do to the rest of them. One mutant was bad enough.

    -Blackarachnia and Crystal Widow are sisters.

    -Ransack and Divebomb (both ROTF) have a sort of rivalry, with Ransack posing as the Red Baron, while Divebomb is the actual plane flown by the infamous pilot.

    -The 13 can possess Transformers that closely represent their function in the Universe. For example, Nexus Prime can possess Devastator, and Solus Prime Arcee.

    -Combiner teams are themed as everything about a Transformer can influence their effectiveness as a combiner. The less similar a group of Transformers are (Alt mode, Colors, allegiance, etc) the worse functioning a combiner potentially made up of them will be.

    I look at Devastator as the true charecter and his alternate mode is the individual contructicons. Each posesses a facet of Dev's personality. My reason for this? Theyre the only combiner I have with a unified color scheme(I dont own a predaking). Plus I dont really remember being dazzled by any of the individual constructicons personalities in the G1 cartoon. Vs a Superion, Defensor, Menasor who look like frankensteins
