Having just started watching RID, it made me wonder where the other Bots are. Arcee, Bulkhead, Knockout, Magnus, and Ratchet.

 

Unknown

But I know we will find out soon

 

I imagine they got jobs like Bumblebee after the war. If we get to Season 2 we'll probably get to see them again.

 

I like to think Arcee got a partner that didn't die.

 

well jack didnt die...

anyway i would like to see Arcee working as a teacher as a ref to animated Arcee and it also would be amusing..

 

^And she brings a class of Transformers to Earth as a fieldtrip.  

 

For a while, I wondered if some of them had managed to get jobs in high places, maybe even on the Council, but that seems less likely now. I saw that interview with Adam Beechen, and he seems to suggest that the current Cybertronian leadership doesn't feel like it owes much to the ones that helped restore the planet. You can kinda see, as he pointed out, from the empty/in disrepair statue gallery, the space bridge and Optimus bust being locked up in some museum closet, and Bumblebee himself being a simple beat cop.

Perhaps the old Team Prime has gone into seclusion, found various menial jobs...who knows? I wanna wait and find out before I come up with any overly-detailed theories.

 

Lol it'll probably be just like Jack from Mass Effect 3.   :3

.01% of the united states population serves in the military and our VA fucking sucks. imagine the VA of a race where everybody was fighting for millions of years.

 

Especially when their planet was uninhabitable for thousands of those years and only became livable again a little while ago. I'd find it hard to believe for the "new" Cybertron to be able to do a good job of integrating veterans, especially when rebuilding their whole civilisation is probably higher on their priority list.

 

That actually reminds me of a few things, the Halo 5 trailer theme, one of the Batman Animated Series episodes where Batgirl died, and something else. I can't recall what but it's something in a game I once played. It had the same government betrayal theme but I can't pin-point it.  

Also, that may explain Grimlock being in his current state. Perhaps this new council recognized how dangerous he was and had him locked up. And maybe Shockwave's pulling another Animated Longarm stunt.

Oh the theories.  

Now I want to see that kind of relationship between Arcee and her students.  

 

Seeing how Bumblebee got treated and he's only a beat cop.

Smokescreen and UM are most likely security for a councilman, or UM is a councilman

Bulkhead and Wheeljack went into construction and demolition

Knockout started a buffer spa

Ratchet was called back and given a position as a doctor in one of the most prestigious hospitals, but declined and opened a smaller walk in clinic for all.

Arcee became a attorney and started her own 5 step program on getting over grief as well as started writing books, some of her best sellers are "When to stop Tailgating the heart", "Time to Jump that Cliff" and "Where is That Spider Bitch"

 

Arcee: hey bee,
BB: Arcee?, what are you doing back on earth?, with bunch of kids nonetheless.
Arcee: oh i heard you have some con infestation, so i'm decide its a good opportunity to show the kids how we get thing done back then.
BB: ooooo keey.. so why are you pink?
Arcee: i dont want to talk about it...
Random Kid #1: thats because Miss Arcee loss a bet with us

yeah, i can totally see it now XD

 

I could so see some of this happening. Well, i imagine Wheeljack would still be off planet or something. I could definitely imagine Magnus being in the council. Speaking of the council, i kinda hate the old council since they practically didnt do crap to help resolve the war in anyway.

 

I bet Ultra Magnus was the Bot on the High Council that Clampdown tried to Blackmail.

 

I like to think that Ratchet is still on Earth, just chilling in a scrapyard somewhere in Nevada. I would like to see him discover that Bee's back, take Raf on a road trip to see their old friend, and see Raf slap the annoying out of Russell.
As for everyone else...
Arcee is probably a cop or secret agent on Cybertron. She'll come back to Earth on a mission to catch some random Decepticon.
Bulkhead and Wheeljack are travelling through space together as mercenaries.
Magnus is an Elite Guard drill sergeant, where he is training cadet Smokescreen.
Knockout is..... somewhere..... being..... fabulous, I guess.

All purely speculation, of course.

 

1. Bitching on somebody. I asume she would need a long break, since she was sick of war.
2. Doing shit. Or rebuilding Cybertron. Alongside with the Vehicons...
3. Shining fabulously. I think he only fits as a secondary stuff, if he didn't have an occasion to learn something.
4. In the government?
5. In the medibay. Or other science work.

 

WOAH! So no more bitch-flap somersaults to kill everything in revenge then?

 

I do too. Arcee deserves it...at least once.

I believe both of this as the case.

 

I wonder what became of the Rescue Bots since they're in the same continuity.And just how many years has past since Prime anyway?
