Your ideal TF Series?

[Hursticon]

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.

I've written to Simon Furman to see if he'd be interested in co-writting the comic with me, but he's yet to get back to me

I would like a new Classics show starting from where Season four finished when Galvatron was out of controll in space in Scorponok.

[Golden Phoenix]

More Transformers Animated.

[Sky Shadow]

I would like a new series set in the G1/Beast universe, but using absolutely no big-name characters. It would be the story of Botanica and her crew before she returns to Cybertron in Beast Machines. And it would be called Plant Wars.

+1 Gok's idea (but I do like old school brick G1 style)

[liegeprime]

I still like my idea ... I mean with that kind of format... ANYTHING can happen heheheh... kinda like Drawn together was only it's TF robots across all series But then, I guess it's gonna be rated R and not for kiddies which kinda defeats the purpose of appealing to the younger generations for TFs line/popularity to achieve immortality.

My ideal series? A CGI animated cartoon series - with the same budget and animation quality as Clone Wars - written by Simon Furman (or someone of similar quality) and based on the Classics/Universe (2.0)/Generations/Reveal The Shield toys. A comic series would be keen too.

I like this idea. Especially if written by Furman, I loved the UK G1 Marvel comics.

I would make a cartoon... But an adult orientated one, and no I don't mean lots of fan service, tentacles and gory deaths. But you know have a serious story, none of this weekly villians/cheesy plans. Instead each episode would work to further the overarching storyline. This is a war, and I would show it in all it's bleak, desperate, violent and destructive nature. Characters would die and stay dead (unless their name started with Optimus). Visually I would like something close to Don Figueroa's IDW stuff.

Instead of typecasting one side as good and one as bad, I would further grey the lines between the two sides by basing the factions off their respective political idealogy: the Autobots believe freedom is the right of all, while the Decepticons believe only the strong have the right to rule. Several characters from both sides would find themselves identifying with the other or questioning their alleigances.

It would also delve a lot further into Cybertronian lore with a heavy focus on stuff like Primus/Unicron, The Fallen, Vector Prime, other Cybertronian factions etc. I would even think about bringing a third force into play to upset the balance of power and provide something new, perhaps simliar to the Ancient Cybertronians faction in the G2 comics. Maybe some sort of "Communist" type Transformers faction if that makes sense, would be a nice middle point between the Bots and Cons.

I know it all sounds pretty far fetched (Hasbro give the greenlight to a show not about kids, yeah right!) but hey a fella can dream can't he?

That would be awesome sauce!
