>>6877386I always felt if I got a Transformers show/comic/movie under my control, I would create a story about Autobot and Decepticon scout ships that get marooned at the far end of a galaxy and have to share info, tech and resources to survive, while still trying to claim resources and outposts. I really want something that shirks the whole "autobots good, decepticons bad" stigma, although IDW did it to a certain extent, it was kind of an afterthought. I'd love to have calm discussions between factions, defectors, and even friends. Optimus Prime and Megatron would make very few appearances in the show, and mostly be gossiped about as heroic figureheads to each side. No idea who the Decepticon captain would be, but I'd love to use Delta Convoy/Magnus as the Autobot leader, and then pad the cast out with literally whos from post 1986, mostly. Then I want to do like, one of 3 stupid twists
>The main characters are not just lost in space, but in time. They return to Cybertron to find the war over for centuries>The main characters end up forming an alliance, each side is criminalized by their own for fraternizing with the enemy upon their return to cybertron, they exile themselves and found a new planet for mechanical life>In a diversionary tactic, Delta Magnus was carrying the Matrix of Leadership, not Optimus Prime. Magnus is killed and the secret is revealed. Megatron finds out and begins a voyage to intercept the wayward platoon>>6877401It's more that the fans are obsessed with it, so writers have to comply. For some reason, most audiences of a franchise need that "warm fuzzy" feeling that their favorite fictional stories are somehow linked to each other. People demand the status quo now, more than ever. It's basically a manchild's safe haven. Whenever comic books try to do something different, or break continuity, fans flip a shit. It's especially bad with comic book/capeshit fans.
