    I finished the movie today, and I’m interested in what would you like to see in next live action movie. Decepticons? Predacons? More Maximals? Noah and Elena? Unicron transforms?
    Should any element in ROTB be explored more, or would you like to see something new in the sequel?

    I definitely want to see Shockwave leading the Decepticons, maybe with some competition to destroy the Autobots against Starscream trying to prove himself a leader.

    The Combaticons. Would make a great combiner team of villains to pair with Cobra if they really go the G.I. Joe route. And if they don’t? Still an awesome combiner team to finally see in live action.

    About G.I.Joes, only one or two protagonists besides Noah. NO COBRAS. It was cool to see a human who could do shit besides yelling and crying about their situation. Why not be G.I.Joes while doing it? It might be more interesting to see pre-established human characters than watching another general human's backstory.

    About the Autobots / Maximals, I think they will go on a route like with the previous movies: Couple of them stay in the cast, and a few join their ranks. If there are any more Maximals (They wasn't so sure in the film itself), I think a fully redesigned Rattrap would be the go to (A human sized Rat is pretty off-putting ngl)

    About the antagonists: PREDACONS OR DECEPTICONS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

    Anything said by Caple or Lorenzo shouldn't be set in stone, even themselves don't know what they might be doing for next, so about the new planets, about G.I.Joes, about both Megatron, we could go in any direction now, but please keep Unicron a thing / a constant threat.

    I hope Cybertron doesn't just die again and they save it.Even in TLK it was implied they'll rebuild it..for some reason I want them to not have to choose between Earth and Cybertron all the time and save both(It happened before anyway, just saying)

    No gi Joe or cobra shit, why would gi Joe or cobra be involved with a literal god (unicron). I can somewhat imagine that GI Joe helps out on some local shit like if the decepticons pay earth a visit but I can’t imagine them juggling a autobot vs decepticon storyline and a cobra vs GI Joe. It would be fine if the scene was just to introduce the franchise into a new live action universe but they only reference the transformers, hell i don’t even care if Noah joins them. I was hoping that scene was to introduce sector 7 and John Turtorro.

    Bring my man Travis Knight back.

    At least bring back Christina Hodson. BB's script was no fluke - she wrote Flash too, and James Gunn thinks its one of the best CB movies created.

    More Unicron. I think he was well utilized in ROTB. Just need to up his presence a little.

    Bring in Prowl. And bring back Charlie (and maybe even Memo) somehow.

    Allright screw it, I'll go full fanfic. I'm doing this straight off the top of my head so it'll probably be terrible.

    Let's assume we get two more movies, continuity is actually in effect, and we don't need to tie into the bayverse.

    Where we've started is the Autobots are still trying to go home, because of the SciFi frequencies the public don't know about Unicron and the various alphanumeric agencies have hushed up the collateral damage during the last film. The film starts with Cheetor talking to Optimus Primal, asking him if he's sure, and they're being cryptic. Primal says no, he isn't, but this is their best chance, and the camera pans back and they're overlooking a cargo boat with an American flag on it.
    The Autobots are back in hiding, and there's some kind of action sequence chase revolving around catching some new autobot and bringing him under control so he doesn't ruin things for them. Turns out it's too late, and theyre confronted by some guys from GI Joe (maybe Noah is there to try and convince him), who once again are asking for their help, either in the fight or by giving them an understanding of their technology. Optimus refuses (with the implication he's done so before), that hes already affected earth too much, that he has to get back to his own war as soon as possible, etc. , and the Autobots start to leave. One of the Joes gives Optimus a 'gift', the data and telemetry data of a signal Seti recieved and turned over to S7. It's Autobot, and it's looking for proof of life from Optimus.
    This kicks off a subplot about the Autobots needing to put together their own antenna, maybe making friends with a new human (or maybe bringing back Noah) to help access to resources they need to send their message to whoever's out there. Before they do, the Maximals show up, and Optimus thinks it's because they want to go with him to Cybertron. They don't, they're staying regardless, and they came to warn Optimus that he doesn't know who's out there. Optimus makes pretty much the same case to the Maximals that GI Joe made to him, that the Maximals are more advance technologically, that they have knowledge of the future, they could turn the tide. Primal turns Optimus down, tells him it doesn't work like that, and even a slight change to time could be a disaster. It escalates to a brawl between the Autobots and the Maximals and in the end Primal is in a position to wreck the antenna, but triggers the signal instead. The Maximals leave as the Autobots start communicating with the signal - a shuttle of Autobot survivors sent to look for Optimus (this could be the Wreckers but I think that's a little cliche, I'd rather they just be a ragtag group without a name).
    The Autobot shuttle arrives on earth, lots of greetings and celebration that they're finally going home. The human characters show some of the Autobots around that area Earth (maybe the southwestern desert?), but they don't appreciate it and don't seem to care for humans. Something isn't right, and it comes to a head as a big reveal: the new arrivals aren't Autobots. Theyre Decepticons who hijacked an Autobot shuttle, killed it's crew, and took over their mission. And now they're not only going to be rewarded for bringing back Optimus' body, but they've reported back they've found a planet with actual energon on it (thanks, Unicron skybeam), and Megatron himself has taken interest.
    It turns into a climactic battle. I was thinking the gimmick would be the Decepticons are all 2-combiners, and can swap partners superlink style to mix up abilities and keep the Autobots down, until they work together and take advantage of being used to earth to turn the tide (maybe using the flood of earth communication signals to confuse them, or some sort of severe weather pattern, or tactics that humans came up with, etc.).
    It's not enough, and it looks bad until the Maximals show up as backup, give the Autobots an opening to kill some of the Decepticons. A pair get away, back to the shuttle, with the Autobots on their tail. As they get close to the shuttle the Maximals tackle whoever (bumblebee? Mirage? That new autobot?) and give the Decepticons time to get away. The Autobots are furious, and all Primal says as the shuttle flies off is 'it has to be this way.' The Maximals run off while the Autobots, beaten, watch their ride home fly off to tell their enemies exactly where they are, and their human friends knowing war is on its way.
    The movie ends with a message from Optimus Primal instead of Prime, to Prime instead of whichever Autobots are out there, talking about the weight of the future, and how he understands how Optimus feels, because he's walked that road a lot longer. But the Decepticons are coming, Megatron is coming, and now is the time to prepare. To find new strength, because a day is coming soon where they're all going to fight, and where they're going to win. The background of the monologue is the Autobots fixing themselves, their human allies trying to get back to their lives, and the end is a GI Joe lab (or maybe Sector 7), while Rhinox assists some scientists.

    The third film opens right into action, a few Autobots, Maximals and humans are fighting a squad of Decepticons on earth, an advance party (other teams are fighting other advance parties around the world). They beat them, but it's a bitter victory, it was too hard, there's no way they could stop a REAL Decepticon force. It's not enough. Primal says 'It will be, I promise.'
    We meet some human 'recruits' fighting alongside the Autobots, they've fallen in with them because they either have special skills (repair, power systems) or because they found out about the Autobots (a hacker/conspiracy theorist, an ex military officer), they're trying to figure out what devices the Con Scouts were carrying to Earth. It's relay devices for a space bridge. The invasion isn't going to travel through space, it's going to travel across it, and they can tell the devices are starting to spin up for a transport.
    They're about to destroy the relays, but Optimus says that will only delay the inevitable. The Decepticons will just send more scouts, with more relays, until they can't stop them all. Primal agrees, and says that this is the moment where history tilts. He goes through a plan, that the bridge will be two-way, and with a little reprogramming, they can make sure the Decepticon force comes out where they want it to, and that the Autobots can go where they need to... On Cybertron. Optimus is shocked, how could they leave the earth defenseless like that, and they don't have enough to accomplish anything even if they struck at the heart of the Decepticon empire. Primal says he wants to introduce some friends.
    What we saw at the end of the last film was the tech for an army of Joe Greenshirts all decked out with cybertronian battlesuits, vehicles that transform, based on a merger of organic and mechanical. Noah's been training them using a suit that's not as good as Mirage was, but still doing ok. He and his team are going with the Autobots to Cybertron, and the Maximals will stay behind with their own human backup.
    When the space bridge opens, the 'away' team jumps through, and finds themselves back on Cybertron. They fight their way through polyhex, Cybertron looks completely under Decepticon control, and while the humans struggle in this alien environment too big for them, they hold their own. Optimus and co make it to a 'throne room', where Optimus picks a fight with Shockwave so that others can make it to tower controls, and 'send a message' to the resistance left on Cybertron by self-destruction the facility.
    Meanwhile on Earth, the Decepticon forces intially make big gains in a city, with shades of All Hail Megatron, before the Maximals slow then down. Even still, there's too many Decepticons and they're wearing down the Maximals, who retreat. Megatron and others chase them to what seems to be a dead end of a city park penned in with fallen skyscrapers, and Primal talks about how proud he is, how they've made a great future, and he'll see them all again for the first time someday, activating an emp device buried in the park. All the transformers are rendered seemingly unconscious, and Starscream orders a retreat of the confused and demoralized Decepticon attack.
    Back to Cybertron, the crew can't set the facility to destruct, but Optimus is able to beat Shockwave and uses his dismembered, but still alive head to access the planetary communication system to send out a message to any autobots left on earth. We see cells rallying to fight all over Cybertron, now knowing they aren't alone. The Autobots and humans run back to the space bridge and get back across before it destabilizes and traps them in Decepticon hands.
    Back on earth, Megatron and his squad are being frozen with liquid nitrogen sprays, but Optimus Primal is looking rough. He reveals to Optimus Prime that having their mechanical parts offline like that meant their organic components couldn't sustain their repair systems, and now they're dying. But that was also part of the plan, so the Autobots can build their own future. This isn't the end of the war, just the start of the end, and he knows that Optimus and his allies will do what needs to be done.
    Optimus gives a final speech about the future and building it and sacrifice, while he coordinates with the Autobots on Cybertron and the humans on Earth, not knowing what the future will hold, but vowing to face it proudly.

    About the flash….not the best cb at all lol. There r even speculation she didn’t write the best parts of flash.
    Lord and Miller wrote previous versions of flash, and guess what!? They left and wrote their own multiverse movie called spiderverse, which has super similar stuff to flash in the 3rd act
