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 18 episodes of Beast Machines
• Every episode of Robots in Disguise
• The first 21 episodes of Armada
• The 2007 movie
• Every episode of Animated
• Fall of Cybertron

Random thoughts / personal canon section

• 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.)
• The purpose of Soundwave's unexplained visit to Cybertron in "The Ultimate Doom, Part 3" was to bring Frenzy to Earth, which is why Frenzy first appeared in the next episode.
• The second-season characters' unexplained arrival, and their Cybertonium decay in "Desertion of the Dinobots", can be explained by assuming they left Cybertron at the same time as the other characters, but in Omega Supreme rather than in the Ark. The Autobots at first kept the fact that this new ship was an Autobot a secret - which is why Omega does not join them in leaving Earth in Megatron's Master Plan - but later officially added him to their ranks when he was needed.
