>>6459033So if the rumors that the new Transformers cartoon IS season 5 of the OG Transformers, how are they going to deal with continuing shit?
Idea: time warp. The Vox show up and use time travel to kidnap the Autobot shuttle containing Megatron, the season 1-2 Decepticon roster, and all of the Autobots that died in the movie.
They get grabbed and end up in 2018. Galvatron/Scourge/Scorponok etc are all MIA though Cyclonus has resurfaced as a neutral/NAIL having bailed from the group, which fell into civil war between the Hive and Galvatron's group.
Decepticons have the POV of being time-lost and adapting to modern time. Most of the OG Autobots that have been saved from death go away while Ratchet and Prowl stick around. Both revert to their comic personas as a result of the future shock and knowing they died. Ratchet becomes depressed and morose over fear of being dragged back into the past and Prowl goes full Nazi SS because he also fears being dragged back into the past and is dead set on killing Megatron in order to cancel the future entirely.
Core cast for the first season would be
Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and his Cassettes, Constructicons, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and the Coneheads.
Autobots: Optimus Prime, Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, Kup, Bumblebee, Nautica, Ratchet, Prowl
Dinobots, Blurr, Arcee, Windblade, Blaster would be guest stars, along with Cyclonus and Tailgate (odd couple/NAIL).
OG Starscream in full-on Pretender mode would be one of the two main adult characters. The other would be a young teenage male who befriends Prowl and Ratchet when they return to Earth. One of the main plot points will be the fact that OG Starscream mindwiped himself when he locked himself inside his pretender shell and shrunk himself down to human size, so he'll have a huge crisis of conscience when he realizes he's not only a Transformer but Starscream as well.
