cartoon ideas:Transformers: Part one
5 years ago
Because who doesn't have their own cringey fanfic ideas for franchises?
So like. I guess I can start by telling my take on how I would do Transformers. So it'd follow the same deal as GEEWUN and maybe Prime and Animated where Autobots and Decepticons come to earth and blahblahblah. But there would be flashbacks to what kicked the war off, how Optimus and Megatron started out as friends, and Elita One is there and she blames Optimus for that third guy they were friends with getting shot by Megatron...idk. Anyway. The initial setup of both teams would be like this:
AUTOBOTS
-Prime (Because he needs to be there.)
-Bumblebee (Also needs to be there)
-Hot Rod (I could go for someone like Ironhide or Bulkhead or Hound as "The big guy", but nah. I figure put Hot Rod in early. Have him learn to not be a dipshit, and then give him actual focus in the sequel series which I'll cover later)
-Prowl (My take on Prowl is that he'd be a bit like his IDW version where he does shady shit, but ultimately he's actually a pretty nice dude. He's just kind of bitter because cons killed Bluestreak)
-Moonracer (Look...If we're gonna do female representation, I'll fucking bite and make her the team medic/scientist. Basically take Moonracer, Greenlight, and the Paradron medic from G1 and throw them into a blender to make a breakout character. She also can be someone who was friends with Ratchet so she has anxiety issues that she has to overcome initially and become stronger for it overall)
DECEPTICONS
-Megatron (Because. Also he wouldn't initially be there and also feel just a little guilty for shooting Optimus when he was Orion Pax, But also not really. Would give an arc where he's forced into a human body temporarily and slowly regains his lost compassion hanging with the main human kid or kids before coming back as SUPER MEGATRON)
-Starscream (Because. Gets to outlive his leader though and kinda-sorta helps establish peace with the autobots and decepticons)
-Soundwave (Because. Will treat all of his cassettes like a good dad except for Ratbat, who sells everyone the fuck out to the quintessons when they show up. Fuck Ratbat. Also Goes through an arc where he tries to find and bring back Megatron when the latter is stuck in a human body, because the Phase-sixers are fucking assholes)
-Astrotrain (MY BOY! Also we need someone cool to fill out the dumb brute quota for the decepticons. Develops a one-sided rivalry with Sixshot. Originally because he had a crush on Thunderblast, but then I decided on a different fem-con...)
-Shatter (Sure. She can act as Starscream's foil initially. Undermining his orders until Megatron shows up, then she gets his job after he's kicked out, and then she slowly gets replaced by Nightbird. So she winds up joining Starscream and the season 1 finale is the two of them blowing up the space bridge and (But not really) killing Megatron...Then they gotta deal with OVERLORD ofucc. She dies at the end of the quintesson invasion when Megatron drags her in to be used as components for his new super body)
I don't really have anything for the main human kid. He's there. Bumblebee is his car. He goes through stuff with a different Autobot to help them open up about themselves and develop I guess. Then he has a thing with Megatron and then he stops being relevant after the first series.
Stay tuned for part two where I discuss newer toy ide-I mean extra characters joining the cast.
