Canonical evidence Goki? - We are talking about Transformers right?

Honestly, I'd like to see this sort of question fleshed out in some new Beast Wars based media, rather than seeing G1 rehashed all the bloody time, amongst many other subjects as the series has left things like this open enough to speculation.

The lack of canonical evidence is present for both sides of the argument, if it wasn't we wouldn't be having this conversation but I put this too everyone:

Simon Furman has stated that, with regards to the upcoming continuation of the US Marvel G1 continuity issue #81, whilst he wont be continuing on from G2 he won't be completely disregarding it either and as such (I hope), as he is on record as saying he really wanted to do more with Beast Wars, what if he were to work towards building the narrative (hence cannon) around the Pax Cybertronia and the introduction of the Predacon and Maximal factions proper? - What are everyone's thoughts on this progressive step and would members be against such a destination?
