Given how similar starscream and grimlock are to other recent iterations, it seems that they want an across the board design. It worked extremely well for rescue bots. I suspect cyberverse being essentially a more detailed evergreen, and idw doing a reboot is about this uniformity.
Transformers prime worked well since it leaned heavily on the bay films.
Evergreen seems to want to replace the "g1" style with something more contemporary.
It's like going from golden to silver age comics.
