I hate the whole 13/Primus/Unicron stuff and choose to ignore it in my head canon. Is that any different than the other head canons here?

If robo-boobs, and robo-romance can exist, why not robo-freckles?  

 

Nice, good thinking. This also works in reverse, as with TRU-Universe Countdown.

Come to think of it, your idea also works for Actionmasters, if you believe the Actionmasters are supposed to be human-sized (which I do).

 

I take the "Primus/Unicron are gods" idea as myth-ification (if you will) of actual events. To my eyes, Primus and Unicron are ancient AIs.

I also suspect that Beast Machines was originally planned to reveal that Cybertron was once Earth. I have no idea how this would work though. (Parallel universes? Time warps? Something like that.)

But! One of my favorite headcanon ideas focuses on Call of the Primitives. I believe that Primacron was not the Igor-like fish-monkey, but was the Oracle (the blue and gold beast-former who was at fish monkey's side and was destroyed by Unicron, from whose wreckage the Matrix emerged, and who summoned the Primitives). I am confident that, once the Oracle's body was destroyed, fishmonkey-boy assumed the TITLE of Primacron ("The Primacron" is even a term used in the episode) and claimed that he had created Unicron. I'm utterly convinced this is true.

 

I just don't care for the "robo-gods" thing, that's all.

Yes, I was actually going to bring it up that animation Cheetor had freckles. Probably to play up the "kid" aspects.

 

RiD'01 is the sequel to Beast Machines. BM Megatron comes back after the show and is reformatted into his Botcon 2016 body, then he travels back through time and gains new colors and a new head to become RiD'01 Megatron.

Sky-Byte is actually the Maximal Cybershark reprogrammed to be a Predacon.

 

Unicron and Primus exist but the real debate is whether or not they are gods.

 

guys wait a second

so I think we're all pretty sure that there’s gonna be a Rescue Bots episode about the Burns’ mom

and this season might take place post-Predacons Rising

what if when the bots find out about Optimus’s death the Burnses help them thru it by telling them how they dealt with the loss of their mom

guys

Spoiler

idk if I should put it here or in the speculation thread in the RID/Prime board

 

Combiner wars blast off is what happened if slingshot never witnessed the death of orion pax. Slingshot's rage overcame him, causing him to betray his brothers and become a decepticon. After blastoff went MIA, slingshot replaced him on the combaticons.
Crazybolt was a result of shockwave toying on a velocitronian
Steeljaw and quillfire are effectively Trosky and Stalin

 

One notable thing that I can think of at the moment, is I personally see "Eugenesis" as being canon to the G1 Marvel fiction.

I love that story so much.

 

There's this...

 

I believe that Primus and Unicron are multiverse singularities who are spread across all universes, and WFC/FOC, Prime, and RID2015 are in the same continuity. No, really, I'm serious.  

I also think that Wheeljack died because one of his inventions blew up more than usual, and his last words were "Hey, Windcharger, can ya lend me a hand heeeEEEEEAAAAHHH!!!"

It it happened hours before the Decepticons showed up, too.

(EDIT) Oh yeah, and Starscream's "hallucination" of Bumblebee in the IDW comics is actually Bumblebee's ghost reaching out from the Afterspark, trying to get Starscream to do the right thing.

 

Arcee and Flamewar as Counterpunch conterparts, huh? That's actually a very interesting concept.

Wow. I really like that idea for Shattered Glass Strongarm.

 

Now I want to see fanart of Superion signing autographs for Camiens.

 

Grimlock is not stupid in the usual sense, he's just kinda slow when it comes to thinking. Like he's running on Windows 95 compared to everyone else who uses Windows 10. And he hates being called an idiot.

 

I don't think any of the original G1 Autobots or Decepticons are really "there" anymore in BW. The few that are (Prowl, Grimlock, Ravage etc) have had their memories altered to forget Earth. The Maximal Elders are not nice, but are doing what is necessary to protect history, what with the advent of Transwarp drive and all.

Primus and Unicron are not gods, they are ancient, super-advanced AIs. Over the eons, their true nature has been forgotten and twisted by worship into being thought of as "gods".

 

The God gaea was where it all began..she had several children who inspired the titans and she inspired gaia.

 

Metroplex (at least until Fort Max was created) was the only city bot in existence, the first of his kind, a last resort to protect the Autobots, and later Earth. More were ment to follow but with the outbreak of war and Energon rationing the project lost funding and so was soon abandoned. The Decepticons, being even more desperate for resources, could not even build a single city bot. It wasn't until the war went to Earth that they had the required resources, a human city. And thus Trypticon was born. City bots are purely artificial beings, having never evolved like natural cybertronian life. They thus lack an essence, and are incapable of creative thought. When the hate plague broke out Hot Rod did not "kill" Metroplex, he mearly turned him off. Their anatomy (at least in Metroplex's case) was based of the cybertronian body. Trypticon's design takes inspiration from a long-extinct cybertronian predator. His resemblance to outdated theropod reconstructions is purely coincidental.

"Prime" is a military title. It is customary to refer to one as "Prime" in combat situations, rather than their actual name. This is not a hard and fast rule, but one followed out of respect. -imus is not required when one becomes Prime. Hot Rod did that out of respect (or maybe idolship) for Optimus. There have been several Primes during the course of the war.

Optimus was his orignal name, he did not change it when he came to Earth, like most Autobots did.

Ballistic weapons exist along side energy ones on Cybertron, but are not seen as often as they are typically used by commando units like Roadbuster.

 

Some things from my headcanon.

-The Insecticons were the first successful techno-organics created by Shockwave, and occasionally serve as his lab assistants. (might be partly canon, not sure)

-Blast Off was originally a high-ranking nobleman some time before the war, but was stripped of his titles and forced to be a shuttle-former after some event.

-Off Road was a Triggercon before joining the Stunticons, I mean, he DOES look like the lovechild of Ruckus and Crankcase.

 

I have a few. And I will go into full detail I feel like it is safe for me to do such. But here are a few that I have come up with:

- United is a follow-up/sequel to Beast Wars Reborn.
- Generations is a sequel to the Japanese version of "The Rebirth".
- The cast of United EX include those from the Generations Universe and former JG1 Micromasters.
- Thunderwing formed the Decepticon sub-faction.
- Thunderwing eventually becomes Scrash.
- The Autobot sub-faction was done by majority vote.
- Optimus Prime in JG1 is Dan that was both upgraded and promoted to Autobot Commander.
- Convoy creates a government that evolves into the one seen in the Beast Era.
- The "Megatron/Galvatron vs. Convoy/Ultra Magnus on Scramble City" fight will be expanded into the Legends portion of the JG1 continuity.

And...

- We will one day see a Headmaster/Targetmaster character. And the fanbase will say, "Why could it not be a Godmaster/Targetmaster or a Powermaster/Targetmaster?! Do they know that we are tired of Headmasters by now?!"
