Your ideal TF Series?

A man after my own heart!

The way I see it, the BW Maximals go back through the Transwarp wormhole back to Cybertron, just as Unicron and his new minions are attacking.

Unicron is powered up from absorbing all the debris from The Hub that exploded in Allignment, and has re-animated a lot of the Cybertronian Empire 'bots to see out his will.

Meanwhile, The Vok who traveled to the All Spark with Tarantulas when he died, meet their maker in Primus, who is currently also battling Unicron on the higher level of existance.

Primus created the Vok/Swarm thing way back as a means of replacing he and Unicron when the time came that Transformers evolved past a certain point.

Transmetal technology perfected into TransTech.

Ultimately, Unicron kills Primus and the Sparks of all Transformers momentarily stall. The Vok can either let them flicker out or take up the mantle as the new Transformers God thing.

He takes up the post, and vanquishes Unicron with his unbelievable power.

On Cybertron, Unicron has his horns dug into Cybertron, so they are joined. The power from the passing of Primus and Unicron mixed with that of the Vok reformats Cybertron and all those who live there into new TransTech bodies.

And we end up where BM should have taken us but with a more kick-ass way of getting there.

Ooh...
Man, you really have put some thought into this huh? - I like that approach as it tells both an interesting new story whilst referencing the past and setting the story on a path that it should've taken in the first place.

+1 on Gok's idea - anything that has G1 inspired roots.

And I'm going to get flamed for this (by Verno & Hursticon) but nothing involving BW or animal-formers whatsoever. <VP ducks for cover>

Have you seen what a 115 Kilo, 6ft 2 Munky can fling?

The idea of BM was to bring the organic back to Cybertron. Thats the stupidest fracking idea ever.

What it should have been about it the continued evolution of Transformers with new technology, ie Bringing Transmetal technologies to Cybertron, so we end up at TransTech, where we'd go back to robotic forms, the beast could be disgarded. (Although animals forms are pretty common in G1 anyway)

The TransTech designs of Cheetor and Depth Charge were vehicles, not animals.

So I have no problem with not incorporating Beasts.

I agree here, because it is entirely sensible that Transformers would progressively evolve towards greater Technological Perfection and not Fleshy Meat Syndrome.

I'd like to see a degree of Animalistic approach to Design and Psychology but I also agree that a progression back towards more vehicular forms makes greater sense as I imagine on a TransTech 'New Cybertron' that there wouldn't be a great deal of Fleshy organisms around.

If there was to be a lower order of life on 'New Cybetron' though, I'd imagine it would be more akin to that seen by Hot Rod and Kup seen in the G1 Movie - i.e. Animals that are quite clearly Robotic or Techno-Organic but certainly not purely Organic.
