Actually, they could.

Transformers media I have watched/played since discovering the wiki

• Every episode of the G1 cartoon + the 1986 movie
• Every episode of Beast Wars
• The first 6 episodes of Beast Machines
• Every episode of Robots in Disguise
• The first 14 episodes of Armada
• The 2007 movie
• Every episode of Animated
• Fall of Cybertron

Random thoughts / personal canon section

• Most Robots in Disguise Predacons are redecos of Beast Wars Transmetals. Therefore, the occasionally-referenced Insecticons look like Transmetal Waspinator and Scavenger. It would be fun if the Scavenger-molds were Insecticlones commanded by the Waspinator-looking-guy, just because I like the idea of Waspinator getting to be in charge.
• The Robo-Capers guys are totally canon.
• If the Deluxe Vehicles and Deluxe Insecticons had appeared in the G1 cartoon, their subgroup names could have made sense in-universe - since the Transformers began as mass-produced slaves, "Deluxe" could easily have been a term applied to some models, and could have remained as a description of their body types after the rebellion.
• I would love it if the G1 characters who cameoed in the first episode of Animated got official personalities and histories. They'd all have to be renamed though - except Dion! Who, come to think of it, could just be a previous body of Animated Ultra Magnus... (You're thinking about this too hard, flicky.)
