Hi. TFfan1 is from Ireland. I'm also Kale'O on Twitter, Arclight on the Discord server.

I grew up in the early 2000s, watching Armada on Toonami, catching reruns of Robots in Disguise on Fox Kids and watching The Movie with my uncle, learning to appreciate the ways different franchises all had their own unique things to offer. I love the franchise for its ability to reinvent itself, explore new ideas, provide new takes on familiar characters, and well, transform itself.

Personal favorite things in the franchise include:

Shockwaves
Soundwaves
Mini-Cons
Quintessons
Cybertron
Shattered Glass
Optimus Prime toys that come with a Matrix

Personal canon

The Quintessons, having stolen technology from across the galaxy, create Cybertron as a massive manufacturing plant to create war machines and mechanical slaves. They create Vector Sigma to imbue simulated intelligence into their creations, and the Matrix of Leadership as a secondary system, but the Quintessons unknowingly tapped into a wellspring of energy and brought into being an intelligence they couldn't control.
The Thirteen were created by Primus to liberate Cybertron, using experimental technology to grant their unique abilities and artifacts. They later faced Unicron, and after fending him off, most decided to leave Cybertron to pursue him or in some cases, their own agendas.
The Quintessons commissioned Primacron to create Unicron as a weapon to take back back Cybertron, but to both party's surprise Unicron proved too powerful and rebelled after his first failed attempt at destroying it, though maintaining an instinctive desire to destroy the planet.
Functionism was introduced by the Quintessons to indoctrinate Cybertronians into obedience, but corrupt leaders co-opted it to maintain control after most of the Thirteen left. They attempted to destroy all records of the Quintessons, resenting their origin as products.
Megatron, a lowly miner-turned-gladiator, discovers Cybertron's origin, and becomes obssessed with making Cybertron a powerful empire to move past and compensate for their origin.
Orion Pax was at first a dock worker alongside Dion and Ariel, but his administrative skills led to him being reassigned to archive duty.
Dion became Delta Magnus, who fell early in the war and who Ultra Magnus was based on.
Hot Shot is the Wreckers' resident turbo-revving punk (but more heavily-armed than most).
Galvatron is a mad clone of Megatron, created from a backup of Megatron's CNA by Shockwave several millenia after the crews of the Ark and Nemesis disappeared to act as a leader for the Decepticons so Shockwave could focus on his own machinations. Led across the galaxy by visions, he became a servant of Unicron, and for his service was given his own Decepticon Matrix, the Matrix of Hate, which contains a version of the Hate Plague that allows him to infect and (kind of) direct victims.
Cyclonus was given life by Unicron from the shattered remains of bots from a lost colony to serve Galvatron, and feels eternally indebted to the madman for his existence, though a sense of honor and reason left behind from his past life causes friction.
Scourge is a geezer, and was once a comrade of Kup during an ancient war. Serves Unicron and Galvatron out of a combination of fear and the promise of a renewed, reformatted body.
Fire Convoy is the Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity incarnation of Pyro.

Repurposings

Energon Arcee as Ariel to go with Generations Orion Pax and FunPub Dion
Universe Rabat as multiversal Sideways

Siege Brunt as Shockwave's Head Guard
Cybertron Shockwave as G1 Fistfight.
Power of the Primes "Special Editon" Prima is the Allspark Cube/or the device from Punch-Counterpunch's commerical (depending on my mood and if Punch is holding him) once Prima's head has been shaved down to fit in a 5mm hole.
