Hi, I'm also active as Alienbot on TFW2005. I've written a few fanfics there about Megatron Starscream, Soundwave, The Fallen and Alpha Trion.
IMO, Prime will be to Exodus and War for Cybertron what Beast Wars was to the G1 comic and cartoon. I have ten predictions for the show:
1) The AllSpark will be or has been destroyed, as with the films.
2) Megatron's Ringwraith face and Starscream's Michael Jackson one is the result of Dark Energon deprivation.
3) Prowl, Jazz, Ironhide, Jetfire and Sideswipe are not dead, just off-world.
4) Unicron will only appear in flashback as Dark Energon is what remains of his body, and Liege Maximo or the Quintessons will be the unholy cosmic big bad instead trying to (re)claim Earth, Cybertron or the Matrix etc. when the show ends.
5) Alpha will be there as could Vector Prime and Nexus Prime, what with Vector's face being the Autobot symbol and Nexus dimension-hopping for the Star Saber (which became the Matrix).
6) The Primes's prehistoric battle with The Fallen (or should I say Megatronus) for humanity's fate will be referenced. He might show up again or be dead, again depends on the timeframe, and make fun of Megatron for taking his name.
7) Optimus's inevitable death results in Megatron and Starscream battling for the Matrix. Seriously, they both want to be Prime badly. Such a dramatic event would not be relegated to the Movie-style backstory.
8) Shockwave will betray Megatron, he has forseen it.
9) Female Autobots will be explained as the result of the female member of the 13 mentioned in a Q&A. Budding may come into it, but as with G2 it will be explained the AllSpark was created by Primus to replace that method of reproduction.
10) The Dinobots will be once-great warriors who've gone senile as a result of their long stasis-lock on Earth, reconciling their childish cartoon personalities with the "tricking his enemies into believing he's an idiot" comic book Grimlock.
Pretenders will be Technorganic Minicons or monsters like Thunderwing and Bludgeon, they weren't mentioned in Exodus so it could go either or both ways.
Possible titles for Alex Irvine's sequels/prequels/midquels/interquels whatever:
Awesome though taken.
- Transformers: Leviticus
Not commercial enough.
- Transformers: Numbers
Hasbro expands to the education unit.
- Transformers: Deuteronomy
What now?
- Transformers: Judges
Er.
- Transformers: Kings
They've never had one.
- Transformers: Chronicles
Generic jackpot.
- Transformers: Pslams
Fans hate musicals, end of.
- Transformers: Proverbs
Words of wisdom from Jazz, Megs and co., they got all the best lines in Exodus.
- Transformers: Lamentations
A whole book of Optimus lamenting Cybertron.
- Transformers: Gospel
A songbook? Oh wait, you mean four versions of Optimus's biography? G1, Movie, Animated, Prime...
- Transformers: Acts
Well they can do it better than Megan Fox.
- Transformers: Romans
Megatron Origin was already based on the fall of the Roman Empire.
Awesome but taken.
Do want
- Scrapper
- The following Don Figueroa, E. J. Su, Nick Roche, Alex Milne and Guido Guidi designs:
- WW2 toys.
- Hearts of Steel.
- A Transformers photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz.
- Screen-accurate The Fallen and Soundwave (just scan the ILM models into the mold making machine, I know they do this with CG Star Wars characters and the characters shouldn't transform anyway).
