New characters

Ideally, I'd like no more than three new Autobots in season 2, it doesn't matter who they are (even Wheelie, Skids and Mudflap would do!), and they don't have to join the main cast, just as long as they show up before the final episode, they don't die in the same episode they're introduced in, and they're not repaints of existing animation models. And post-mortem name-drops like Seaspray don't count!

Nolan North would be cool. Wing Saber maybe? His trademark did just get renewed

Though I wouldn't be surprised if that did end up happening

My guess is that they chose him in replicating The Rock's voice.
