so i was looking at the different autobots that were introduced in the second and third film, and i noticed a pattern. in both films their is a goofy pair of autobots, a swordsman/ninja, a old man, and a trio.

ROTF:
goofy pair: Skids, and Mudflap
swordsman/ninja: Sideswipe
old man: Jetfire
Trio: Arcee,Chromia, and Elita One
DOTM:
goofy pair:Wheelie and Brains
swordsman/ninja: Mirage/Dino
old man: Wheeljack/Que
Trio:Leadfoot,Topspin,and Roadbuster
so following that same pattern i created a list of who i think should be in the forth movie.

goofy pair:Rosanna and Eject
swordsman/ninja: Prowl
old man: Perceptor or Kup
Trio:Silverbolt, Air Raid, and Breakaway
so if you don't like that combination create your own and share it?

 

new combiners: combaticons
new trio: the sweeps.
new villain: Scourge (RID)

 

Autobots

Leader: Optimus Prime
Second in Command: Prowl
Scouts: Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Mirage
Medic: Ratchet
Old Dude: Kup
Aerialbots: Silverbolt and Air Raid
Stealth Commando: The Wreckers

Decepticons

Leader: Galvatron
Second in Command: Nemesis Prime/Scourge
Air Commander: Cyclonus
Combiner: Stunticons (Brawl is dead, so the Combaticons wouldn't work, although they would be awesome)
Secret Weapon: Unicron or Trypticon

 

Actually I think this is perfect!  

 

I hope if they have Galvatron and Cyclonus, Galvatron is his OWN character, but Cyclonus is a revived and retooled Starscream.

 

The movies aren't cool enough to homage Rosanna. EVER. Oh and the Pink Bumblebee has nothing to do with Rosanna at all.

 

All these hopes for Galvatron...everyone said this before ROTF, and look what happened...

 

whos to say they don't do the same thing they did with devy. brawl can be in it he already was in dotm he can simply be a clone in TF4

 

We could follow the same pattern in these movies for the 'Cons: They always have a plotter who is behind everything and only fights in the very end, a brute, an effective implacable thug, a "master hacker" and a "humans operations guy" [a lesser minion who only deals with humans and does very little warfare], and a right-hand dude.

First movie:
Master Hacker: Blackout [and Frenzy].
Implacable Thug: Barricade [and Scorponok].
The Brute: Brawl.
Final Boss Plotter: Megatron.
Human Operations Guy: Frenzy.
Right hand dude: Starscream.

Second Movie:
Master Hacker: Soundwave.
Implacable Thug: Megatron [And Starscream].
The Brute: Devastator.
Final Boss Plotter: The Fallen.
Human Operations Girl: Alice.
Right hand dude: Megatron AND Starscream.

Third Movie:
Master Hacker: Soundwave [again].
Implacable Thug: Laserbeak and The Dreads.
The Brute: Shockwave [And by extension, The Driller].
Final Boss Plotter: Both Megatron and Sentinel Prime [weirdly].
Human Operations guy: Laserbeak.
Right hand dude: Starscream.

For the fourth, I'd have:
Master Hacker: Igor. Why not?
Implacable Thug: Stunticons.
The Brute: Trypticon.
Final Boss Plotter: Lord Straxus.
Human Operations guy: Buzzsaw, Laserbeak's bat-shit insane [even more] brother.
Right hand dude: Lockdown.

 

Excellent thread.

Second in command: Ultra Magnus
goofy pair: Gears and Huffer
swordsman/ninja: Springer
old man: Kup is a good choice
Trio:The triggerbots, of course! XD

Master Hackers: Reflector
Implacable Thugs: Firecons. Really.
The Brute: Bludgeon.
Final Boss Plotter: Thunderwing.
Human Operations guy: Ratbat. With a vigilante complex.
Right hand dude: Spinister.

 

 

I hope for Autobots like,

Hound
Prowl
Inferno
Trailbreaker
Blaster
Blurr
Rodimus
Bulkhead
Ultra Magnus

Not that I would want a 4th Transformers.

 

Bonecrusher died in the first yet Devastator still worked!

 

Autobots

Leader - Optimus Prime
First Lieutenant - Prowl
Scouts - Bumblebee
Warriors - Sideswipe. Dino. Cliffjumper
Wreckers - Kup. Whirl. Roadbuster. Leadfoot. Top Spin.
Medic - Ratchet
Spies - Wheelie. Brains.

He's got a point. They could have all new component names. Rampage and Overload were never Constructicons in the past, as far as I'm aware, so it is still possible we could see the Combaticons.

Keep the main cast, but add Kup, Hot Rod, and another fembot similar to Prime Arcee (seriously it's like a robot sausage fest here).
For the Decepticons, the new villain should be Straxus or Liege Maximo. Include the Seekers, the Stunticons/Menasor, and a few references to Unicron.
