    Pounce and Wingspan were actually cloned from Sixshot, hence the similar color palate. Pounce even inherited his beast mode.

    This is probably never going to happen but maybe The reason why all the seekers in the bumblebee movie have gas masks is because the decepticons created a virus that kills cybertronians with any exposure to it but ratchet created a cure but unfortunately the cure didn’t reach everyone so the autobots that we see in the movie are the survivors

    • Smokescreen is a gambling addict.
    • Offroad is Ruckus in a new body.
    • The Matrix of Leadership didn't choose Hot Rod...because it was the other way around. When Ultra Magnus and Galvatron tried to use the Matrix, they thought of it as a weapon to enact their will. They thought they could command it to do their bidding, and that's why it didn't work for them. Hot Rod, on the other hand, believed the Matrix was an entity in its own right, not as a tool to be wielded. When he was inside Unicron, Hot Rod chose to surrender himself completely to the Matrix and become its vessel. And thus, Rodimus Prime was born.

    Beast War's Rampage was created thanks to Tarantulas, who was undercover at the time posing as a Maximal scientist. He was attempting to overwrite the peaceful spark with his own mind, thus allowing him to become an immortal being in a brand new body with no past. But the process failed... though not without some of Tarantulas' quirks and thoughts entering Rampage's mind. This caused his insanity and he desire to consume his victims.

    Smokescreen is a suave James Bond type that enjoys spouting one liners and enegex in a fancy glass to look sophisticated.

    Silverstreak/Bluestreak is more of a Rambo/Heavy Weapons Guy screaming warrior who constantly yells while pumping enemies full of rapid fire shots.

    Prowl is a Sherlock-esque cold and calculating detective, and typically calls out weaknesses in a fight for the team to exploit.

    Shockwave is a military commander with scientific prowess. He figured he'd git gud at everything to have an advantage. He is cold and emotionless, and while he is a scientist, he's not a mad scientist. Just a normal scientist. I figure if he's gonna be a scientist, it wouldn't make sense for the logical guy to be a mad scientist. It's more logical to be normal.

    In Bumblebee, the internet came from Cybertronian tech. Building on this, I adapted this into my fanfic, except the Cybertronian internet goes down to a neural level. On a post-war, Decepticon-ruled Cybertron, every thought, every word coming out of one's mouth is uploaded online. This allows for much censorship and thought control, as the government literally has access to the brains of every citizen. This is a role that fits the bill of Soundwave.

    Mouth-plates were developed in response to a Hate Plague pandemic that despite not killing off many Transformers, drove many into permanent insanity and rabidity, resulting in them being banished to "the Far-Lands," harsh terrain distant from areas of populace.

    The usage of plates as protection from the plague was started and popularized by Sentinel Prime, who led over both Autobots and Decepticons before they broke into conflict. As the pandemic subsided society went back to being mask-less, but some like Soundwave, Roadbuster, and Hoist continue to wear them for whatever reason they want to.

    Also, as a tradition future Primes were made to wear them at all times in public to keep up morale, thus why Optimus wears one.

    I actually picture Smokescreen being a Bond-type as well (though he would be more like Roger Moore's Bond).

    Personally, this is how I ideally picture Rodimus. He would be someone filled with so much fury, self-hatred and pain within him that when the battle ensues, he would just explode and lay waste to anyone around him.

    Since the convoy type in the anime BW are based of Primal, Lio, Big, and Fire inherited his trait.
    Lio convoy: Courage
    Big convoy: concerned for others
    Fire Convoy: unwilling to give up

    So, Transformers Battlegrounds still looks about as average as ever. (But there are cameos of Offroad, Dead End, and Battletrap, pretty strange for generics). Really my interest pertains to if it connects to the Cyberverse show besides designs and voices. My guess was that it could've been a prequel to Season 2. So I looked for a full playthrough video and skipped to the end. The ending does not line up with the show at all. However I decided to go back a little bit more and saw this funny line:

    So it seems like Battlegrounds simply exists in another timeline in the Cyberverse multiverse. Probably diverges with how the Allspark was found. Nice how they reference the actual show like this.

    Unicron's body contains a plasma energy chamber, which is the source of his reformatting abilities. His brain is the same type of supercomputer as Vector Sigma, lacking only the ability to generate sparks.

    Moonracer is the Invisible Woman filling out Astroscope, Payload and Fireblast's Fantastic 4.

    Blades eventually transferred to the front lines and Evac is his replacement on the Protectobots.

    Wouldn't such a theory require that Cybertronians breathe?

    Galaxy Force is a parallel reality to Micron Legend/Superlink universe.
    Bumblebee movie is a new universe, and similar events happened in Bayverse.
