I'd probably like to make a show similar to Transformers BotBots, however I'd try to tone down the comedy. I'd imagine it more like toy story but with home appliances (blenders, microwaves, cameras, retro game consoles, toasters, etc.)with it being like a small suburban cul-de-sac where some houses act as autobot bases and some as decepticon bases and they have to try conduct their "robots in disguise" mission of both reconnaissance and just actually fighting without drawing any attention to the humans, and i guess as a way to help the story there would be a group of teens who are like already in a friendgroup and some are coerced into helping either the autobots or decepticons and there would be a B plot usually involving the humans usually featuring one of the teen's working with the autobots or decepticons attempting to either gain intel or drop in a spy or grab mcguffin type items and such

I'm really eepy because I just woke up and I feel the need to share this whack aft dream I had. It functioned as a sequel show slash alternate ending to G1, where at the start of the first episode, the autobots amd cons are in this massive firefight around autobot city, akin to a ww1 trench standoff. Eventually megatron remembers oh yea, we have combiners and uses them to break the stalemate and attack. Bumblebee falls wounded, (for whatever reason my brain gave optimus and bee a batman/Robin dynamic) so optimus drives directly through no man's land, taking heavy fire from all forms of weaponry just to reach a wounded Bee and hold Briticus's foot up long enough for Bee to roll out, when finally optimus collapses from exertion and gets crushed. Megatron watches from the trenches, where he calls a cease fire after the realization hit him, Someone I cared about just died, actually many people have died including our home, just because of my warpath. So he steps out into no man's land after the cease fire, and challenges bruticus to 1 on 1 combat, where megatron absolutely tears him apart, ripping personality core from body. Then megatron does the whole post tfp thing, swears off violence, but instead of flying off, he stays behind with some of the other cons, like Soundwave and the stunticons, either out of respect for optimus or their leader. The next episode was filled with a heartfelt eulogy from megatron and elita, with a grandiose funeral and truces being made between grudging admirers like shockwave and wheeljack. The rest of the series is filled with starscream getting his scrap pounded in for repeatedly trying to restart the decepticons during the restoration of cybertron, and megatron coping with his sudden realization of his blindness to his atrocities and sociopathy, and Ariel prime (elita after receiving the Matrix) trying to rebuild control and order with the autobots, because some of them only really believed in the cause because of optimus

An alternate version of RID 2015, taking place a few years after prime. The prisoner ship comes down to earth but this time, the prisoners look like animals because they are on the run and they try to scan animals as their alternate mode but have malfunctions. Bee arrives with smokescreen, wheeljack and miko to find a NEST type alliance back on earth, with agent fowler, rachet and jack donning a modified version of the nemesis prime robot. They join it to help contain the prisoners and the rest of the show plays out, albeit a bit more serious and pg-13, with cleverly written characters. Optimus comes back later, but only as a conduit for the matrix,since his spark is bonded with it, and will die when he passes it on. At the end, two worthy candidates, bumblebee and magnus are there, so bee gets the power up but magnus is still worthy of its powers so they share it and combine to form omega prime. And optimus sacrifices his body to jack, who replaced the nemesis prime bot with it, becoming earth's own prime.

This is one of my proudest fanfics

Transformers should've always been used as a conduit to criticize war

#

It has the potential for social commentary

Personally, my Transformers show would be somewhat of a mix of G1 and Prime, I'd start with about 10 Autobots going up against a vast empire of Decepticons and as the show goes on, more and more Autobots are introduced and the Autobot faction grows more and more, and I'd give the characters actual introductions rather than them just showing up out of nowhere like in the G1 cartoon. Storywise, I'd take inspiration from One and Prime, also in terms of lore and tonally I'd make it a mostly-light-hearted to semi-serious show akin to something like Beast Wars, I'd mostly prefer it to be more episodic, like a saturday-morning cartoon. One last thing I'd want is for it to be 2D animated.

I’d like to have a universe that really dwells into the wreckers (or the IDW comics about the wreckers). It would focus on their adventures from the end of the war and
Possibly a bit where after the war ends they don’t know about it cause they’re on an expedition around the universe fighting against decepticons or basically now ex-decepticons for the first 1-3 episodes. Eventually Springer (Who id pick as the leader) would figure out the war is over after enlisting some civilians and ex-decepticons knowledge. Other wreckers believe him but a small group, Including impactor don’t believe him and they have their own little war for the rest of the episodes until they all are reported and brought into incarceration for their crimes, especially the ones who continued on after learning about the wars end. There would also be subplots about Kup and Springer bonding like brothers and Springer growing further from other wreckers like Impactor, signaling a bit of mistrust the wreckers had before they started fighting against eachother later. Other subplots I could think of would include them bonding with the people they liberate on planets and for them to ever so often have a new member join and see them have to adjust to the life of the Wreckers, and how some of them would never be able to go through with putting their life down to save others in the end.
