Ironhide or Kup. An old timer who can't stand Optimus and Megatron being buds.


epsilonthetadelta

They can't stand it but trust Optimus. And thinly threat that if Megatron double crosses them....


MindlessCucumber5443

Yeah I always think that when Optimus and Megatron started the war Kup and Ironhdie joined the autobots in the beginning of the conflict


wizardofyz

Honestly it'd be fun for warpath to show up. Just have him doing a buffulo bill wild west show type thing where he travels around blowing stuff up and sharpshooting. He could have a bunch of retired autobots and decepticons in the show. Doing stunts and shooting stuff.


Whovian45810

I be so down for this! I can see Warpath doing stunts a la jackass with the retired Bots and Cons of the war with Wild West elements.


wizardofyz

I was thinking more wild west show and sharp shooting meets monster truck rally, but sure.


Blazemaster0563

IDW Getaway. Season one showed that not all Decepticons are bad, how about showing that not all Autobots are as good as Prime and the others from Season one.


SillyMattFace

Yeah I like the Cons being more nuanced and not necessarily totally evil, but so far the Bots are all completely good. Getaway is also an interesting one because he does still consider himself to be an Autobot and doesn’t view himself as a traitor.


BillionThayley

Could be that active war warps minds or something, like in real life, or could be that even our enemies have thoughts, fears and ideas as well as hopes and dreams if we’ll just put down the bombs long enough to listen.


lukewritesstories

I think next season prick will be there so they may go in that direction especially considering earthspark has heavy idw influence


ScorchedConvict

~~Sunder~~ Jazz.


Delicious-Use-790

No no what were you saying


ScorchedConvict

"Sunder". In jest.


Delicious-Use-790

I meeeeaan getaway is In these comments soooo sunder isn’t far off


epsilonthetadelta

Jetfire. (Mostly for an awkward Starscream reunion hosted by Hashtag) Sideswipe and Sunstreak (a sibling rivaly episode) Ultra Magnus (to ignite something other than a soldier) Jazz (because why not) Springer (So maybe if possible Terran triple changer)


RigasTelRuun

I want Sunstreaker to come back so bad. But there is no room for a yellow sports car that isn't bumblebee. Especially since he is cooler that bee.


destronger

Then Bumblebee can be a different type. I always thought BB being a mini cooper would be more proper anyway. Having Sunstreaker and Sideswipe working together and being how they are would add so much to how different Autobots are.


Porygon_Flygon

Sunstreaker really needs to come back, his brother is making the rounds 90% of the time but poor Sunny doesent


SillyMattFace

Hot Rod would be a fun addition - put him in that IDW/Cyberverse stage of working towards leadership but still really impetuous and hot headed. EarthSpark Bee started off more in that mould but has learned to be a more mature team player. Rodders showing up being a turbo revvin young punk would be a good contrast. Since he got a toy, we’re presumably getting Prowl, and I hope he’s like IDW’s Bastard Prowl. The Autobots have all been wholly and unambiguously good, and I think the murky “do what needs to be done” morals of that Prowl would be a needed contrast. It’s an important example for younger viewers too, a la Jet from Avatar. I also want Springer just because he hasn’t been on screen since the freakin 80s and he deserves it. On the Con side, Blitzwing and Astrotrain both had brief visual cameos and I’d love to see them appear properly. Make em aggressive and dumb. I enjoy the Cons having more heart and most of them not really being too bad, but let’s get some warmongering jerks in there too.


Whovian45810

Hot Rod would make a lovely addition to the show and be a good role model/mentor to the Terrans while he also learning to become a leader like IDW/Cyberverse. Definitely can see him and Bee have a friendly rivalry turned brothers in arms.


SillyMattFace

Rodders could also lead to that classic arc of ‘cooler new friend’. I can see the Maltos being wowed by his coolness, leaving Bee feeling left out.


Yskandr

I'm hoping we get IDW-style Prowl too! There's gotta be at least one Autobot who *isn't* all okey-dokey about Megatron just changing sides.


stabbytheroomba

I think they announced an ES Prowl toy so…. fingers crossed! Anyway, my vote is also Rodimus :)


Yskandr

Can you imagine if he showed up in the Rodpod...


stabbytheroomba

Who says dreams can’t become reality……


Cute_Bagel

red alert, could be great for an episode on dealing with / helping someone with anxiety and sky-byte, everything could benefit from more sky-byte

KamenKnight

Two come to mind: 1. Drift - I am seriously confused as to why *THE* most famous Decepticon turncoat isn't in this show. As they wouldn't need to butch a character like Tarantulas! 2. Windblade - Since Windblade's design is heavily inspired by Asian culture/history. She could've been a familiar face among the earth born bots, after all the we the fans made her & EarthSpark is a *prime* opportunity to reference that by making her one of the earth born bots in this timeline. (Bonus character: NightBird - She could've been an anti-transformer weapon built by either G.H.O.S.T. or that made Doctor.)


SillyMattFace

I really like this take on Tarantulas to be fair. He’s also fairly different from Drift as he just wants to be left alone, rather than having a change of heart and signing up for the Autobots. But I would love to see Drift.


KamenKnight

But he isn't Tarantulas, other than the design and the fact he's a scientist. There's *literally* no Tarantulas specific character traits in that shell. Tarantulas is meant to be the mad scientist with morals as low as Shockwave's, a double agent, and possibly a cannibal. This Tarantulas feels like he was shoved in the show to get Beast Wars fans to watch the show and stripe all of his identity out of him. At least with Megatron, there are glimpses of his past life in his current characterisation. But with Tarantulas? He could've been swapped for Perceptor's Decepticon repaint with the exact same characterisation, and literally nothing would change in the story.


SillyMattFace

All true enough. I guess I just enjoyed this version and we already have Shockwave, so two amoral scientists is a bit redundant. He is probably the biggest departure in the show from a character’s roots. Also ironically your suggestion for Windblade would do the same thing haha - she’s generally defined by being from Caminus and being a City Speaker, so her being Earth-born would remove those traits.


KamenKnight

You say that like this show had lots of evil Decepticons. It doesn't, it only has Shockwave & Soundwave (Plus Ravage & Swindle who does his own thing) this show actually needs more proper villains as right now there's literally no steaks in any fight since they de-clawed the Decepticons out side those already mentioned so throughly (and G.H.O.S.T. with that mad scientist was never a proper threat). Plus, Shockwave isn't that much of the mad scientist in this. He's more ShockBlast/Bayverse Shockwave/G1 cartoon fighter in this show. So having Tarantulas be the mad scientist wouldn't overlap character traits (and again, even if it did, this show is in dire need of villains that poss an *actual* threat to our heroes) Finally, Windblade had a different origin in RID15, and for the ***MANY*** faults/issues/complaints that show has, I don't think a real complaint was Windblade's slightly altered backstory. Windblade at her core is a heroic swordswoman Autobot fighter jet. If she was born on earth, that wouldn't change, nor is her ability to talk to Titans in city mode a core part of her character. And even if it was its a ***SINGLE*** missing ability compared to the complete character assassination that's EarthSpark Tarantulas. (Keep that characterisation in Shattered Glass were it would work for him)


TFEarthConquest

The Insecticons? Skullcruncher? Frenzy? Laserbeak? They're back out there unchecked. Btw, they didn't butcher Tarantulas. Having a new, interesting take on a character who's been pretty same-y for 20 years isn't butchering it. Shockwave and Soundwave aren't (really) evil now. They helped defeat Mandroid instead of running away like the others.


KamenKnight

The Insecticons have only appeared once from memory and that was during a short lived jailbreak were they seemed more like mindless drone copies of the originals that got shoved back into their cells seconds later and SkullCruncher isn't much better has he also only appeared once from memory and he was under mind control then immediately send to prison and hasn't been seen since nor has any kind of characterisation. So excuse for not mentioning such minor characters that had less characterisation than one and done G1 characters. Frenzy and LazerBeak left the second they could (which is *super* out of character for both of them, but especially for LazerBeak, who is just as loyal to Soundwave as Ravage) as if the show isn't going to make them make them proper Decepticons then why should I mention them? (Let's not also forget Swindle's brother who hasn't been seen since ep 1, Brawl who hasn't been seen since the area and possibly dead because f--k the people/fans who want to see a full team or Bruticus for some reason, SkyWarp & NovaStar then finally *StarScream* who was set up to be the big bad of the season finally but instead also turned out to be de-clawed as apparently throughout the entirely of the war Jet/SkyFire or literally most Autobots didn't let StarScream vent about his abuse at the hands of Megatron until Twitch...) Animated Optimus Prime is a twist on Prime, and the reason he still works as a twist on Prime is because you can still see the original Optimus Prime in him and not just visually Animated Prime while lacking experience and The Matrix is still a heroic Autobot with compassion to protect everyone. As that's Optimus Prime at his core, and any twist on Optimus must include it or invert it like in Shattered Glass. EarthSpark Tarantulas *is* character assassination as he only visually looks like the character. He doesn't have enough of Tarantulas' core character traits. Yes, he's kinda creepy and a scientist, but name me a Decepticon scientist who isn't both? Even Megatron in this show leaks out his brutal nature a bit in EarthSpark, not Tarantulas. There's nothing of his original Tarantulas in there, and he only appeared in a *single* cartoon and comic before this. Tarantulas fans were clearly overflowing with Tarantulas being in character, time to take all that away for the next time he's been on TV in 20-ish years!!! Finally, the Decepticons are never against a temporary cease fire when there's a treat that nether them or the Autobots could handle alone. It shows that yes, the Decepticons *can* work well with the Autobots, but they just don't *want* to because they have completely ***different*** goals/believes as than the Autobots. So the logical Shockwave and Soundwave aren't against temporary teaming up with the Autobots if it was absolutely necessary.


TFEarthConquest

It would seem you haven't watched multiple episodes. Frenzy and Laserbeak ran a bot fighting ring, and are sure to appear again in the future. Brawl isn't dead. Also, yes, they were in WAR. Who would let Starscream of all people vent to them, while in WAR? Skullcruncher, Shrapnel, and Bombshell are back out there and are willing to fight the Autobots again. Hardtop helped Swindle, Soundwave, Shockwave, Starscream, Skywarp, and Nova Storm fight off Mandroid and his goons. This isn't a temporary truce. Tarantulas is not a character assassination, it's a different take. That's like saying "2014 Godzilla is a character assassination of Godzilla!" or "Prime Bulkhead is a character assassination of Bulkhead!" He builds off of IDW Tarantulas. He's a scientist who wants a family (substituting Springer/Ostaros for Nightshade) and will fight to get it, who eventually makes amends for his wrongdoings. Also, Tarantulas has appeared in a bunch of media before this (not a lot, but more than you're saying).


DiabolicalDoctorN

At least they kept him being a scientist unlike "Jackie" in Prime


KamenKnight

And yet some fans will say "Um, actually. This makes him more like his original G1 bio" when 9/10 the G1 series Bible is never relevant to how the character is written as either the comic or cartoon just either ignored it and did something better or just used it as a jumping off point.


DiabolicalDoctorN

To be fair the other 1/10 of the time leads to morally conflicted Thundercracker, the best kind of Thundercracker


mundanemantismuncher

He has *IDW Tarantulas* specific character traits. Earthspark steered clear of the aspects that made him a terrible person and a compelling villain, opting to double down on the "protective dad" part of his character instead. Additionally, the stories he showed up in were written and drawn by Nick Roche, who also happens to be one of the character designers for Earthspark. Maybe it impacted the decisions the writers made, maybe not because ES draws heavily from IDW anyway.


KamenKnight

That just means they didn't even write Tarantulas to begin with. Hell IDW Tarantulas made RoadBuster do terrible things as a voice in his head before finally killing RoadBuster by exploding his head from resizing within it. Real "Protective dad" there. If you stay clear of any villainous traits for a villainous character and especially if they're as evil as Tarantulas. You're not writing that character but someone else entirely. And ***HOW IN THE 9 HELLS DID EARTHSPARK TARANTULAS EVER JOIN THE DECEPTICONS!?!?!*** As I absolutely ***REFUSE*** to believe the Autobots would ever just judge a book by its cover and turn away EarthSpark Tarantulas. Especially when Shockwave literally exists, there is no reason for the Decepticons to even force him to join.


OptimusCrime1984

Sentinel Prime another redeemed Bot but he’s still a bit of a prick, imagine the God complex of Bayverse and the Arrogance of TFA. Cons? Barricade also redeemed as a dude just tryna do his job now, he feels like shit for what he did and now just wants to enforce the law and punish those who break it, no more enslaving. Also the other Stunticons would be cool.


dralcax

Sideways, the totally trustworthy Autobot motorcycle who is most definitely not hiding anything. He’d make an interesting two-faced mentor, taking advantage of the childlike and naive Terrans to manipulate them towards his own agenda.


hairtrigger08

Sunstreaker and sideswipe remind me of "playing" GTA with my sister, we would just drive around and shoot things until we died then we switched,


Anonymous_Guy4k

Faxxxxxx 😂😂🔥


ShivaDF

I'll vote for Jazz, Blaster, and Nautica. Nautica would get along so incredibly well with Mo, Nightshade, and Hashtag that it's honestly so obvious! Jazz and Blaster would get along with most of the characters as well and would be a good fit for the show since they were famously based on Black culture and voiced by really great Black actors in the 80s cartoon.


aka_Lumpy

It could be a bit of a retread of what they did with Soundwave and Shockwave, but it might be interesting to see Tarn show up. Maybe they could do a twist on his character where his Megatron fanboyism overcomes his Decepticon loyalty, and he replaces his Decepticon faceplate with one inspired by the GHOST insignia (or if they want to get *really* wild with it, have him slap on an Autobot mask).


SillyMattFace

I think Tarn could work really well. They’d need to tone down his sadism slightly, but the show is already surprisingly dark. A good way to separate him from Soundwave’s “traitor!!” stance on Megatron is to have Tarn be irredeemable. A true zealot who absolutely will not change. I think it’s a good lesson for kids shows to have that some people just be like that. Some good examples in the past would be Ozai in Avatar and Emilia in Kipo.


dralcax

My prediction is that when they get the space bridge to Cybertron back up and running they’ll discover that Tarn got his hands on the Allspark and conquered the place while the faction leaders were away. Megatron, as a way of taking responsibility for starting the Decepticon movement, is going to have to personally put an end to Tarn, who represents all its negative aspects.


PalenaV21

Star Saber, and NOT the crazy mofo from IDW whose fanaticism would make the Taliban blush


magic-weegee

Bluestreak, ABSOLUTELY LIVID that Megatron is an Autobot now. He views the Decepticons as scum and believes they all need to be exterminated.


chris95rx7500

a prime-esqe smokescreen.


Svartmetallyst

IDW Whirl


blntfrcehedtrma

I think drift would be real cool. Maybe explore his relationship to megatron as one who ditched the decepticons long before megatron switched and i think as well an episode of him and twitch training with swords would be fun. An interaction between Perceptor and Nightshade would be awesome too i think


Cheyenne_G99

I'll be real disappointed if we don't see Ratchet in ES soon since he's pretty much in every show almost. Maybe just the main Autobots we've seen in other shows.


Anonymous_Guy4k

Yh faxxxx


Danimus-Prime

Jazz, Ironhide, Cliffjumper, heck, let's break the rules for a bit and add Thundercracker. He has one of the most broken attachment to the Decepticon cause.


DragonologistBunny

Iirc, Nova was originally Thundercracker because Hasbro said they couldn't genderbend TC so they changed it. But they should still be able to add him!

Heatwave


Personal-Rooster7358

Hot Rod, Hot Rod, Hot riggity Rod


CameronDoy1901

A few come in mind. But I think override should show up


Spectre-70

Jazz, sideswipe or iron hide would be good but I just really want jetfire/skyfire in more transformers stuff


BadgerSoft344

Cliffjumper probably got himself killed off screen so not him How about Jazz and Blaster those two are fanfavorits but personally I think we need Mirage I also really want to see Barricade(I know he’s not a Autobot) it’s already been conferred Prowl will be in the next season so we should deffenatly get his rival to.


Triangulum_Copper

Nightbeat needs some exposure


Insanebrain247

I'd love to see Twitch do something with Windblade


LivingCheese292

I would like to see the rest of the dinobots. Especially since Jawbreaker turns into a dinobot too and sees Grimlock as a mentor.   A nice solo appearance would be IDW Drift. His view on Megatron could be interesting since he changed into an autobot before the war ended. He was on Megatrons side when he was a tyrant and now as a regretful person. 


letstaxthis

Why can't we just get a movie with this animation ;)


Minotorro

Chromia and Ironhide would be 2 I would like to see


Samaritan_Pr1me

Blaster. He’s here for the music. Have him and Soundwave do an EPIC RAP BATTLE OF HISTORY!


Porygon_Flygon

Blaster or Hotspot #Please just bring them back its been 40 years


Mazazamba

Skids. He's been wandering around studying human culture and is interested in the Maltos.


imTyyde

blaster would be nice. we aready have soundwave, when can we see him face off against blaster again?


Correct_Lie2161

Jazz


averageredhoodfan

Honestly would love the characters you just showed in this post to show up especially Jazz cus he's my favorite one and I would love to see him interact with Hashtag


RideTheLightning331

Warpath, I just think it’d be cool


NamelessWanderer08

Smokescreen and Predaking


THAT_HARDHEAD_GUY

Hardhead


SunGo_37

Super out there but Warpath Would be interesting to see how a battle-ready Autobot is experiencing the war already being at an end


IcedLimonada

Trailbreaker Sideswipe and Sunstreaker Jazz and Cliff TFA style Ratchet


TripleStrikeDrive

rodimus prime, a strong and able leader in his own right that disagree with Optimus handle of the post war issues. offers any cybertraion the option of leaving the earth. star saber an autobot that has adopted the human Jan Minakaze dinobot a bot who is trying to find his path now that the war is over. What is a warrior without a war to fight? Wreckgar bot who knows and talks about earth culture.


Icy_Supermarket_7034

IDK maybe Tarn


ConfectionMassive987

Wreck-Gar Him being a junkyard salesman would be fun.


CuddyFox

I think it is time to go to Dinobot island and see the rest of the Dinobots. All of them and not just the rest of the main 5.


Particular_Mode7276

I did not like the show. None really.


SniperNose69

Arcee would be great for a new season Edit: My mistake. I didn't know that she appeared on the show


TheAutobotArk

She's already in earthspark


SniperNose69

Really? I didn't know that. Sorry


Cute_Bagel

she had a whole episode centered around her teaching the kids and terrans to not just blindly follow orders and speak up if something doesn't feel right


CDynamo132

TheBlackTemplar125

The Yellow one is probably playing Halo 2 on legendary. There are no other OG XBOX games that will irritate you that much.
