I was thinking more about the notable features of post-Movie '86, i.e. set on Cybertron/in space more than Earth, Rodimus as Autobot Leader, futuristic altmodes, maybe a new Decepticon leader.

Animated Cyclonus has an interesting Wiki entry, I seem to recall Derrick Wyatt mentioning it's 'almost as if he knows the future' in one of his interviews.

That said, a cynic only ever gets nice surprises, and taking things with a grain of salt usually helps avoid disappointment down the track.
