All Animated fans should read The Stunti-Con Job. It's written and plotted by Marty Isenberg, Derrick J. Wyatt and Matt Youngberg and is supposed to fit in with their plans for Season Four - most interestingly (for me) regarding the roles of Sentinel and Optimus.

Actually I was just thinking what a better ending to DOTM might have been.

MEGATRON: What are you waiting for, Autobot? Finish me.

OPTIMUS: That would be the easy way out, Megatron. You don't deserve it.

I miss Animated too.
