My questions

I have questions to ask
1. Is Goldgear the replacement for Great Byte?
2. Why Chainstorm isn’t among the other Weaponizers in season 3?
3. Do you think the Alchemor is actually a place for Cybertronians with mental disorders?
4. Which Decepticons from Transformers Robots in disguise you think deserved a toy?
5. Do you believe that Cyberwarp was part of the old High Council before Cyclonus took over?
6. Do you think Steeljaw’s backstory is that he was betrayed by an old friend?
7. Are there any more characters who didn’t make the cut?
8.Was there any plans to have Lancelon betray the other Weaponizers and partners up with Starscream?
9.Are there more Chompazoids beside Underbite,Bashlight and Thunderfoot?
10. Did Swelter and Glacius had a previous owner before or were they orphans to begin with?
11. Hi-Test is the only Activator minicon who came back and join the Autobots. Why the other Activators didn’t come back too? Did something happened to them?
Now my commentaries
1. I wish there was another frog Decepticon instead of just Springload. Like Spittor,for example.
2. Instead of having too much repaints,it would be better if some Decepticons were based on a beaver or a crocodile/alligator.
3. Too bad the Autobots didn’t battle Kickback and Glowstrike at all.
4. It would have been nice if Terrashock came back or even Fracture.
5. I think Clampdown should have joined the Autobot team instead of being arrested.
6. I have some good names for Decepticons: Packapunch,Boom-Bite,Fearstrike,Trush and Snowplough.

A few more of my point of view.
7. The orange minicon that look like Major Mayhem could have been the minicon Volcano from the Japanese toyline of RID2015 since both are very similar.
8. All the shorts featuring the cyclone minicons feels to much like a whole episode of Season 1 set before episode 25. I don’t know if this was intentional.
9. Flamesnort was suicidal. Yet,the Autobots decided to capture/arrest him. Wonder if him being suicidal was only to get attention.
10. Some of the Decepticons from the books should have appeared onscreen. Transit for example.
11. People wanted more dinobots in the show when Combiner Force was airing. Mostly Swoop and Slug. Now I get that this Grimlock is different but this has enraged a lot of people.
12. I have an idea of a cowboy/outlaw bot that would play off as an Autobot only to be revealed he was a Decepticon who just cares about getting money.
13. Although not really into Decepticons who are repaints,Wingcode being the Nightstrike repaint as the last con the Autobots catches on Earth seems fitting.
14. Speaking of Wingcode,her episode seems to have predicted the recent virus going around. Mostly because she’s a bat and she indeed spread a virus.
15. Even though I wanted either Wheeljack or Smokescreen to appear in Combiner Force,at least I have appreciated that we got Bulkhead out of any other bots.
16. I didn’t like the fact that Drift went with Optimus in his mission instead of Strongarm. It was a missed opportunity to show off the combiner Primestrong.
17. I’ve seen that the minicon Sawback was promoted too much,whenever it’s by merchandise or show promotional images. Wasn’t he intended to appear in the show at some point? And if he was cut off the show,was there a reason?
18. Clawtrap should have gotten a toy because all the other Scavengers got one. A green repaint of Clampdown would’nt hurt Hasbro.
19. If a character of the show gets a plush toy,it has to be Underbite because of how much I love him and the reason why my loneliness has gone. He would’ve been a big cute huggable plush.
20. In a storyboard for RID2015,I noticed with Crazybolt it says ”Season 1”.
21. If Megatronus is apparently still alive,then I think during his defeat,he must have been teleported or trapped somewhere.
22. It would have been great to have some Autobots transforming into animals like they did with Transformers Cybertron. We did have Grimlock. An Autobot elephant or an Autobot pinguin would’ve worked.
23. If you liked the names of the Decepticons I had,then i’m giving you some for the Autobots. Gateburn,Guard Rail,Trackdown,Scatterbrain and Synchroblast
24. One of the statues at Kaon Plaza in the first episode ressembles Cyclonus from Combiner Force.
25. I felt like Minitron was forgotten by everyone.
26. I did’nt like the fact the show used injections. I have needlephobia and whenever I see one,I cry out of fear..
27. I wish Quillfire was’nt used that much. He begins to annoy me. But of course.. Kids..
28. In Combiner Force,Phantomjaw should have appeared instead of Steeljaw. His motion would have been to seek revenge on Bumblebee and his team for what they have done to his brother Steeljaw.

Maybe some more questions but they would be the last ones since I do not want to spam or anything.
12. Are all minicons bad?
13. If there was some scrapped ideas for the show,will you share them with us?
Last thing I want to say.
There is a new Rescue Bot series going around using characters from RID such as Grimlock and Bumblebee. I’ve been wondering if you can go and tell Boulder Media if they can add Underbite somehow. It would make me happy. I have been in a rought time at home for quite a while,mostly because of health problems with

Transformers SuperCross

**This is about the cancelled Transformers series called Transformers SuperCross,which was supposed to be the first multiversal show in history if it was'nt cancelled. This has been one of the biggest series that ever got cancelled.**



The concept of the multiverse

The concept of the multiverse back in 2004 was'nt as advanced as it is today. Yet it had made huge steps,which were more than enough for a project centered around this concept to enter production. Instead of Transformers Energon,Transformers Armada's sequel was supposed to be Transformers SuperCross,a 4 seasons show centered around transformers from across the multiverse,teaming up to defeat Unicron. Back then,Unicron has been described as a multiversal singularity,travelling between universe at will and so,this idea was the centered of the show,as even characters from G1 were trapped within Unicron.

Season 1

Picking up after Armada,everyone is trapped within Unicron alongside other transformers from other universes and they learn of Unicron's goal to erase all life and all existence. Everyone,both Armada and G1 characters team up to get out of Unicron and stop him. Unicron's power influenced everyone,bringing both new powers and some issues,such as the minicons becoming omnicons and Megatron,who believed he can control Unicron if he touches his spark,was mutated and went insane. Unicron is searching of allsparks,which are the most pure sparks. (Kinda like what they did in Transformers Animated.)

Season 2

The Autobots and the Decepticons returns to Earth 4 years after Armada to continue their battle. The kids from Armada are back. They did this to trick Unicron into travelling to the other side of the universe. Megatron begins to get even more sick from Unicron's influence and being mutated further,thus he is replaced as leader of the Decepticons by someone else. In the coming battle against Unicron,the Autobots and the Decepticons seek to recruits allsparks to aid them,thus characters from G1 and Beast Wars are found and recruited. The power from Energon ae featured here as well. A precursor of them,at least, (The combination thing)and the Decepticons also gets war-like powers which fits their personalities. Everyone eventually decides to go to Cybertron to stop Unicron and prevent him from attacking Earth.

Season 3

Unicron intercepts them and is in pursuit of them across the universe. But with their powers,they can hold him off a few times. The Ark is also attacked by the Decepticons as they wanted to get to Cybertron first. Megatron regains control of himself and gets a new form,which allows him to retake command of the Decepticons and Unicron destroys the universes of other transformers,thus keeping them trapped in the Armada universe forever.

Season 4

Both sides build massive armies on Cybertron to kill Unicron and are aided by Primus and Vector Sigma. The ghosts of several classic characters join the fight and in the end,Unicron is killed but his spark is set adrift in space,leaving a door open for his return in the final part of the trilogy.  Those ghosts return to Primus to be reformatted. Cybertron is restored but the Decepticons decide to leave,but they wish to return to Cybetron one day to continue the war.

The cut characters revived through Cyberverse

Characters such as Cheetor,Rattrap,Soundwave and Grimlock,among others were meant to be part of the action. Cyberverse did revive a bit of this concept but SuperCross seems to have been a highly ambitious project in its own right.

Cancellation

The reason behind this show's cancellation is a complete mystery,as well as the fact that Hasbro has made the choice to actually go on with a different project (Energon) and committed a big mistake for the franchise rather than following a more ambitious and better fleshed out project to see the light of day. However,it is believed that the idea of including several characters from other continuities along with the Armada one might have required some more budget in order to have it put together and executed.        

Cyberverse

The idea of the multiverse was'nt forgotten,as it was at least visited in Cyberverse. I'm not counting the Transtech comics and the Robots in disguise and G1 crossover (Portal).

The original Plan Of The Transformers Prime Movie

**This is about the original plan of the movie.**

The original title of the movie and the theatrical release

The original title was going to be Chaos Rising. It was firstly planned to be released in theaters,like they did with the Transformers G1 movie. So basically,this refers to the original theatrical movie the show was supposed to have while Predacons Rising was the tv movie.  Also,the show originally supposed to have a Season 4 and that mentioned movie was meant to be set after Season 4 with a possible release date by the end of 2014 or in the debut of 2015. Therefore,it was supposed to end Season 4 instead of Season 3. Therefore,it would have been the actual conclusion of Transformers Prime. Something changed in their schedule after the production of the movie,leading it to premiere on TV instead and a direct to DVD on the same day of premiere,like the official site confirmed.

The Megatronus argument

During the course of the entire series,Megatronus was always rumored or theorized to appear as the main villain at the end of each season,even going as far as being rumored to possess Megatron or even be the one who convinced Megatron to wage war on Cybertron. From possession to rising from the dead,all possibilities were taken into consideration as the show went from season to season and apparently,he might have been considered the villain for Chaos Rising. He was rumored to have returned on the restored Cybertron,either being corrupted and possessed by Unicron or by his own will and raise an army of beasts to destroy Cybertron to exact his revenge for the loss of Solus Prime and his banishment. His role was taken over by Unicron and his revenge story was kept for Transformers Robots in disguise. Megatron might have been meant to stay dead or was implied to be turned into a Sharkticon by the time according to the original season 3,season 4 and the toyline rather than a revenant possessed by Unicron. However,after some complicated changes,the possessed Megatron (Of course Unicron himself) became the villain and this is when people has started to call Megatron as ''Megatronus''. But it doesn't stop there. Other people called him Galvatron and some others simply called him Unicron. Everyone got confused on what to actually call him and because of this,it has became an argument over the character's name. In the movie,Optimus and other bots officially calls him Megatron. However,some details refers Megatron as Relevant Megatron. Same goes to Airachnid as Relevant Airachnid.

Airachnid,the Queen of the dead

As they settled on the revenant Megatron as the main villain,a revenant version of Airachnid was also meant to appear along with an army of relevant Insecticons. Megatron and Airachnid were actually going to be the king and the queen of the death. However,this was simply because Megatron wanted to make her his queen as to add up to his army of undead beasts and Airachnid was meant to be finished by the Autobots. Bombshock had a toy in the Predacons Rising toyline,which further confirmed he was originally going to appear in the movie alongside Airachnid.

Prowl and others..

Autobots such as Bluestreak,Traillcutter and Huffer were considered for the movie,with Bluestreak even appearing in the Predacons Rising toyline but they were dropped. A certain Autobot almost made it in the movie and before the release,he was heavily rumored to be in this movie,even going as far as being being depicted alongside other Autobots in Smokescreen's or Knockout's place in the Predacons Rising section of the Covenant of Primus book. That Autobot was Prowl,who was going to come back to Cybertron as he learned of its restoration and join forces with his allies to repel the undead invasion but it is unknown why he was left out of the movie. On the Decepticons' side,maybe they were meant to get little help too,but maybe from just once other Decepticon like Barricade or someone else because in the end,the main thread was'nt theirs but the undeads'.

Beasts and dinos

Aside from Prowl,even the Dinobots were once rumored for Predacons Rising because of their involvement in the Beast Hunters comics and the final issue of this comic took place after Predacons Rising. And perhaps as both follow-up to what the original plans wanted to establish and a set-up for the original sequel Prime,more than 3 alive Predacons and also Maximals were meant to be seen. Maximals were in the original plan for season 3 and 4 and so in Chaos Rising,they might have been seen. Abominus would have been seen as well,considering he had a toy in the Predacons Rising toyline.

The darkest piece of media yet

Predacons Rising ended up being a little more chilled than what was seen before in Prime but Chaos Rising was originally going to be very dark. Compared to both Prime and Beast Machines at the time,Chaos Rising was meant to end up as the darkest piece of TF media in history. Not counting the live action movies. The undead invasion was going to be more brutal than what we got and so was going to be the relevant Megatron. Revenant Airachnid and her undead Insecticons were also brutal in their own right,but in order to finish them,the Autobots had to also resort to much higher brutality in combat,resulting in a gory demise for Airachnid and her Insecticons. This was extended to the beast army too. They were meant to be much stronger and relentless,going as far as finishing one or two characters from either Autobots or Decepticons,or both sides. Revenant Megatron might have shared the courtesy with them too. This was mostly pointed out by the sudden appearance of Prowl in either Smokescreen or Knockout's place in the Covenant of Primus,as such,one if not both of them were meant to be finished by revenant Megatron and his army. Optimus was originally going to finish off Predaking at the end of Season 3 but this was scrapped out and it was suggested they would have made Optimus sacrificing himself to completely restore Cybertron in the movie. Shockwave's fate might also have been going that he was meant to be finished. Like finished for good when the undead Predacons attacked him. Hasbro either wanted to avoid having him permanently finished so they can reduce the death toll and make the movie more kid friendly or have planned to preserve him for Robots in disguise. He would've return in the cancelled sequel,anyway. And as for Starscream,his fate was also a back and forth. They would've had him actually not surviving the assault from Predaking,Darksteel and Sky-Lynx at the end of the movie,but they saved him for Robots in disguise instead. It is not certain if Revenant Megatron was meant to be also brutally finished but either way,they ended up with the redemption of Megatron instead.

Conclusion

Considering the problems with the sales and TV rating,it stands no reason that those original darker plans never came to fruition and has results into the more kid friendly version of the movie.

Starscream's Dark Motive In Season 2 Ff Transformers Cyberverse

**This is based on what writer Mae Catt has confirmed on Twitter.**

You might be wondering what's up with the Starscream of Transformers Cyberverse. Well,this is something darker than you thought. Not only is Starscream the leader of the seekers,he is in fact a cult leader. Yeah you heard me.. Confirmed by Mae Catt on Twitter. By the way he is acting in Season 2,this pretty much confirms it as well. So basically,Starscream's club of Seekers at the old silo is actually a cult. What's a cult? It's a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. In other words,it's a group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister. In Starscream's case,I think his cult is a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person because of the way the seekers act up in Season 2. 
Something happened offscreen in Season 2 where Starscream (alive) came back at the Decepticon base and orders the seekers to take Vector Sigma. Because Starscream is their true leader,they decides to follow his orders. He then explains to them about his plan. Hmmm.. More like about his cult and what he truly wants from them. We do of course see what happens in the Season so I would skip that. He uses Vector Sigma and the Allspark to revive the Primes,thus giving them their new bodies: Scraplets. That would be a story for another time. But! I need to talk about episode 12 because it feels really important. So Starscream has the power of the Allspark,right? And the Allspark is inside of him. If you remember that time Starscream was black,blue and white,you'll understand what I mean. He then takes control of the Seekers' bodies and takes their spark. Mae Catt explained that it's naturally what cult leaders do. Yeah it's some kind of a sacrifice ritual. If you know what this mean,well yeah.. But before that,we do clearly see that the Seekers agreed on that. You hear me that right. Except Slipstream because she snapped out of this,believing Starscream is insane. Oh and if the seekers knew what was going to happen,why didn't they escape in time before Starscream takes their spark? Because again,they had an agreement. They accepted going back to the Allspark. I know this is crazy to think about but this whole Starscream thing (cult) is very dark now if you think about it. Seriously,think about it. You won't think otherwise than this.

Transformers Cyberverse Clobber

Clobber is obviously designed to be a new version of Lugnut, the fanatically loyal Decepticon from Transformers Animated. However, according to series writer Mae Catt, the character ended up diverging enough from the original during Chapter Two's development that both the show's staff and Hasbro agreed she wasn't really "Lugnut" anymore, leading to her name change. Evidently, this change came rather late; she's still called Lugnut in some of the dubs for non-English speaking markets. In addition, the backside of her toy packaging uses the masculine inflection of "Bruiser" for her function in French, Spanish, and Portuguese, and her official description on Hasbro's website uses male pronouns to describe the toy. So this means that the whole ''Clobber being a brand new character and just being a lookalike'' is just purely made up lie all this time in order to avoid the truth of the trademark problem.

Steeljaw was originally going to have Terrashock and Octopunch

**This is based from that one episode of Season 1.**

So for those of you you who have seen Season 1 of Transformers Robots in disguise must have recognize the episode that i'm talking about. Yes,the episode Lockout. At some point,Steeljaw tries to free Terrashock and Octopunch until the Autobots stopped the Stasis Pods. Well,this is more of a what if idea or an original idea but if the Autobots didn't stop the Stasis Pods in time,this would've mean that Steeljaw would have gotten Terrashock and Octopunch in his pack. It makes sense,considering he didn't try to free them for nothing. In fact,he was supposed to free a Decepticon named Firebolt,which never made it in the show. Imagine Steeljaw with Terrashock and Octopunch.. His pact would have being much larger. The Autobots fighting them over again. Terrashock would counter Grimlock since both characters use brute force. As for Octopunch,he would've be the comedic relief of the gang,like Clampdown does. 

Transformers Robots in disguise missing episode: State of siege

**This is about a missing episode of the series. And no,it has nothing to do with the French title of a certain episode. It's a separate episode.**

During production of Transformers Robots in disguise,there was meant to have 27 episodes for Season 1. The missing episode would have occured before the events of Lockout. It was called State of siege and was about Steeljaw waking up Decepticons from their stasis pods with his crew. This was the first part,considering that's what happens in the episode Lockout. However,in part 2 (Lockout),Steeljaw seizes the Scrapyard and the Autobots search up a way to take their base back. Sounds familiar? Yeah this is basically what we got in Season 1,2 and 4. There have been similar situations around the same plot. So in part 1 (State of siege),Steeljaw wakes up the Decepticon Firebolt,an Insecticon with possibly fire power. Kinda similar to Glowstrike,I must say. It's up to Bumblebee and the Autobots to defeat Firebolt,Steeljaw and his pack before too late. However,it was too late as in part 2 (Lockout),he decides to wake up Terrashock,Quillfire and Octopunch from stasis,like he tried to do in the final production. The Autobots succeed on getting Terrashock,Quillfire and Octopunch back to their stasis pods but Firebolt escapes with Steeljaw and his pack. Later on,they have abandoned this episode and cancelled the character Firebolt,which is the reason why we only got Lockout and the improvised plot we got.
