I'd very much like to see some Technology Development like you've suggested, such as:
  • Protoform Technology
  • Energy Refinement (Energon & Organic Matter Digestion Adaptation)
  • Transwarp Technology
  • Size Scaling
  • AM/Pretender Technology (Further-ment, Refinement and Combination)
  • Incorporation of Firearms with the Bot/Alt mode proper.


These mentions don't have to be whole stories or even pages; a frame, speech bubble or background scene would make me extremely happy.
Size scaling (Micromasters), Pretender like technology and firearms integration are already part of Marvel G1. Beast Pretenders for example look to be direct precursors to BW beast mode technology. Also Fangry wasn't a pretender but his alt mode had organic looking parts similar to TM2 technology.

Micromasters were made to be more energy efficient forms of Cybertronians and could also be seen as precursors to Beast Wars.

I have always said this and stand by it - There is very little in Beast Wars from a concept perspective that originated in that era. Most of the stuff you see in the cartoon down to the beast modes (which were integral in the show) were not new but more refined versions of what was already introduced in G1. Almost everything in BW has something in G1 that appears to be a conceptual precursor to it.
