    For Cyberverse, I wish they'd focus on WHAT Megatron was rallying for.

    Ricochet (aka "Stepper") and his friendship with Bluestreak. How does someone with such a short temper get along with a chatterbox like Bluestreak? And how does their friend Fusion, whose only ever active appearance in fiction was as a hi-then-die character in a Marvel UK story, factor into this? That sounds like a very interestng bromance story waiting to be told.

    Have you played War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron? Brawl has gotten more focus in those games. In fact he's the only member of the Combaticons who even appears in War for Cybertron. The other four appear in the sequel as there's a heavy focus on getting to play as Bruticus... but even then I think Brawl got more character development than his team mates.

    It's been a while since I played the story mode but I believe in the levels leading up to Bruticus you get to play as some of the individual members. There's a flying level where you have to play as either Vortex or Blast Off. Then a Ground level where you can play as Onslaught, Brawl, or Swindle. Maybe not in that order and possibly Onslaught might of been part of a different level where you have to play as him. Anyway... point is since they were split up into teams of ground and air for a few missions it gave them time to give the individual characters more of a personality. Brawl may have just stuck out more because again he's the only one to appear in both the games.

    I'm one of those. I actually find the Quintesson origin story to be quite fascinating. It's one of the relatively-few robot rebellion stories where we're supposed to completely side with the robots!

    Anyway, for me, I'd love to see how it went for the Transformers right after the Quintessons were overthrown and expelled from Cybertron. How did they deal with their freedom? Another one, what happened between the end of season two and the 1986 movie.

    Oh yes. It would be interesting to see Transformers build their society after having overthrown their masters.
    It would be interesting to see how pre-Autobots and Decepticons worked together.

    For G1, I would absolutely love to see some Transformers stories set in-between Season 2 and 86' movie. There is so much uncovered territory to explore within that time period, I'm impressed we haven't really gotten anything substantial in the last 33 years pertaining to it.

    I'd also love to know the true fates of the G1 characters we never saw again after Season 2 and the movie.

    On the G1 cartoon, I would love to see more of an explanation for the Beast Mode Transformers like Ravage, Laserbeak and Sky Lynx.

    Maybe Quintessions built Ravage and Laserbeak and even Sky Lynx, for surveillance, and they learned to transform later on.

    Nightbeat being a detective. It would be awesome to see Dragnet style stories on Cybertron with him and like...Punch as an example. Accidentally uncovers who he is to the Decepticons. I'm totally not suggesting this since I just got L.A. Noire. It would be neat though.

    Spike's mother and other family in G1 Animated. And no, his father being a widower in G1 Marvel doesn't count. :p

    What Bayverse Cybertron was like as a "powerful empire, peaceful and just" before Megatron started the war.

    100% approve of this. So many questions like what happened to the characters that we never saw again? How did the Decepticons conquer Cybertron? Where did the moons come from?

    I'd like to see more of Blitzwing as a commando than a grunt. Or maybe do a Cyclonus and make him an honorable warrior who respects fighting prowess, even going as far as sparing those who he deems "unworthy" of falling to his blade.

    I like the cloak and dagger angles.

    Plus, I wanna see more of the Protectobots, Technobots, and Triple changers
