>>5846701First off, new factions, totally seperate from the great decepticon autobot war, let us try to fill in all transformers history with more species offshoots and worlds.
Female villian commander of an autobot offshoot species, all the villians are bland cars trucks wetc, but modified like lockdown or mad max, every transformation gives an asymmertical robot.
Heroes are fliying craft, but transformation for them is onky a last resort, everyone seems to wear the flying xraft as clothing of sorts in robot mode (tfa blitzwing, rid starscream, crosshairs, spockimus prime and rotf breakaway type)
Everyone heroic has no built in weaponry, but uses a self built tool to fight.
Linewide gimmick is a build-n-bash gimmick, villians get more mad max things added from legion figures, heroes use the parts to make hammers whrenches axes and swords.
All of it uses the old c clip system, but in reverse, the vehicles have the clips, the gimmick brings the rods.
Leaders get lights and missile firing weapon/tool bits
When first meeti the known transformers factions, the heroes ally with megatron mistakenly, before seeing how horrible he is to his subjects, then the villians show up and trick the autobots into attacking heroes, our old leader gets nearky kiled, a young autobot (strongarm say) defects to the heroes, exposing the autobots having been trixked, and reveals the new villians, who outdo all but megatron, moving strarscream over to becoming an autobot ally because he gains more power on that side.
Have the humans be explorers of space, and earth is in the future with a viable space operation and has been an ally to the autobots for some time.
