G1 seems to be the most popular. So we will go with that.

If we were to do that one it would [b]not[/b] be based on the cartoon. That show was freaking ridiculous. The Contructicons had five origins stories.

Also [b]NO[/b] humans or any other kind of alien. Purely giant robots.

Ideas from any version of G1 is acceptable as long as it doesn't contradict another idea. I.e. Constructicons have more than one origin story.

Ideas from War for and Fall of Cybertron.

Alt Modes that are designed for hiding should not include giant Autobot & Decepticon team insignias on them, because that would defeat the purpose of the alt mode.

I will work on a plotline sometime after 8pm I will leaving shortly. It may not be taking place on Cybertron.

I would prefer all original characters. When creating your character keep in mind at this time Optimus' & Megatron's forces are on Earth in stasis buried inside a volcano while the Beast Wars are taking place. We will not be going to Earth so the participants of the Beast Wars can't screw up their past our characters' present day by telling their ancestors about the future even by accident.

Also by the way Time Travel is not allowed.
