    Beast Wars II Starscream is the same character as Botcon 2013 Starscream, a clone of the original G1 Starscream.

    Beast Wars II Skywarp is the Shattered Glass version of G1 Skywarp.

    - Hotshot and Flareup are Siblings

    - The Thritieenth Prime is the First transformer to take a Weapon as an Altmode

    - Sparks and Protoforms come from Primus/Vector Sigma, in their natural form they were little more then bipedal Turbofoxes. Then the Quntessons found them and Turned them into Cybertronians as we know them, creating a Massive Slave race. The First Thirteen Prototypes were the the Primes who eventually led their "Children" in rebllion against the Quints.

    That's very close to my idea of the 13 and the Quints.

    - G1 Dinobots have two different personalities for each mode. In robot mode, they are intelligent, yet brutal warriors and speak with proper grammar. Whereas in dino mode, they are pretty much like their Sunbow cartoon selves, with their "Me Grimlock" caveman talk.

    - CW Megatron is so powerful, that he could single-handedly take down a combiner without having to combine himself.

    - Alpha Bravo is Vortex's twin by way of a split Spark. He tends to keep his rotors folded up more cleanly compared to Vortex, and generally tends to act more professional and beleagured than him. You'd almost say he's cold and apathetic to others if he wasn't so much more respectful when he actually feels the need to converse.

    - Rook is the cybertronian equivalent to Robocop. He used to be a slimmer bot until he was nearly killed responding to something Offroad was doing, and was outfitted with experimental combiner tech and placed on the Protectobots.

    -Groove's smaller size is due to an attempt to take down Megatron solo that necessitated being placed in a smaller body due to extensive damage to his spark chamber and fuel pumps. To make up for this, he now provides Defensor with his forcefield generation abilities while Rook acts as his replacement as a limb.

    - Menasor's default arrangement is a complete horizontal and vertical reversal of who would work best as what; Motormaster just makes them take uncomfortable spots so he can try and have the most influence.

    - Shockwave does in fact have his duplication ability as seen in Devastation, but it's hard to motivate him enough to use it.

    - Bruticus has two major torso configurations based on either slimming down his profile to fight other combiners, or giving himself a wider one with his thickest plating facing forward to plow through smaller defenses.

    Alpha Bravo's personality is basically Blades from Rescue Bots.

    I have a headcanon in G1 that the Matrix can provide a decent amount of protection in order to prevent the current Prime lives long enough until it is time to step down and pass the Matrix down to a successor. I mean how else did Optimus managed to get shot up in the movie yet as soon as Rodimus got the Matrix he was strangely bullet proof.

    In my head canon, Bayverse is all just a nightmare of a pissed off and drunk off his ass Cliffjumper. Which would explain why movie Bee seems indestructible and has a prickish attitude. In his fragged up nightmare, CJ is usung Bee as an extension of himself. : )

    Oh I just remembered another headcanon, though this one is more of a silly one.

    I had a headcanon that the reason "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong" is a Universal Greeting all because of the sole fact, it's pretty addicting to say once you hear it. Well... at least that's how it was for me.

    There are a group of Autobots and Decepticons that worship Unicron.

    After Optimus Primal was downgraded from Optimal Optimus due to the Transformation virus, the body remained, but only usable as a mech suit. The cockpit is where the driver controls it, which is how Megatron was transferred into the suit.

    All Transformers mass displace/shift to some extent. Which is why Optimus being a truck can stand toe to toe with a robot that turns into a 60 foot jet. Also Transformers are a bit bigger then often interpreted in a lot of media, I think IDW books like AHM and NotRID has the scale on point.

    Another headcanon I had was that, since you rarely see any jet mode Transformers actually carrying people in them, that their smaller size in toy form compared to car transformers is meant to be taken at face value. Since they're going to be moving around in the air a lot, it's hard to get a read on their actual size.

    In my canon, Megatron has joined a group of villians to take on various foes
    -Lex Luthor: prememptively wants to stop Zack Snyder (Eisenberg)
    -General Zod: the same, mainly for Man of Steel
    -Nemesis: his fathers Movie design, having a previous name with negative connotations
    you know, named after the worst War Crime ever committed
    and a chance to kill Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Magneto and countless humans again
    -Doomsday: heard the rumored twist to his origins in the upcoming film
    -Brainiac: prememptive strike
    -Kylo Ren:
    a chance to kill not only Solo, but maybe another Original Trilogy Hero
    -Darth Vader: still pissed over Episode 1 and 2
    -Megatron: first they wouldn't use Welker for 3 movies, they also couldn't not make him look like a giant metal bug
    -Skeletor: wants another movie, hopefully one with more of his Evil Warriors and a chance have a higher budget than fan films
    -Ultron: Vision?! That's how he's beaten?!

    -the Dinobots are on a off panel mission all the time

    See that's interesting to me, because I would say the other way around, but have the robots shrink down to cars. I guess Thundercracker and Buster have made me think of the seekers as normal size jets that shrinks/compress to some extent into a 33-45' Robot.
