OK, you've all seen the Beast Machines finale by now (weather you liked it or not), so in the tradition of most great sequels we now ask the ever more annoying Great question... now what happens? Well, lets give it some thought.

 

The fact is that the entire population of Cybertron, as well as the entire planet itself, have been given a new lease life! Like Pinocchio at the foot of the Blue Fairy, they are now all real little boys... erm, uh, well real little animals anyway. Ok, almost 50% real little animals anyway.

 

This is the part where Pinocchio conveniently fades to black as the credits roll. But the question, in the TF universe at least, is can they stay that way? Will this new Golden Age last? They are now faced with a whole new world unknown to them and a brand new set of problems will start to pile up on our fearless heroes almost immediately. And lets not forget, although Megatron is gone, when the sparks were freed, that would include a large number of former Decepticons as well.

 

So (to the point), the Autobot Eldars (now infused with new life and energy) are disinclined to hang out in dusty old archives in the center of their planet contemplating their techno-navels when there is a brave new world of wonder to explore. Simply put, they have buggered off Primus knows where. In their place they have left a small group of former war heroes to assist the Primes in leading an (almost) uninted world forword till all are one.

 

Several new aspects of their new world astound and confuse the now techno-organic citizens, so these new Advisors decide to divide and conquor these unknown elements. Thus are born The Techno-Elementals:

 

Warpath, the Techno-Elemental of Fire

Powerglide, the Techno-Elemental of Air

Seaspray, the Techno-Elemental of Water

Beachcomber, the Techno-Elemental of Earth

 

Now, as a species the Transformers are no dummys. They have know for many millions of years the science of ignition. But somehow an area accidentally burned down springs back to life with great vigor. As if empowered by the energy released. Their flyers have long known the science of aerodynamics but new winds blow across Cybertron carrying strange and exotic scents. Moving in patters and in endless vareity. Well hydrolics has always been at the core of Transformer science, entire bodies of water now cover huge portions of the planet brimming with new life. And of course the new layer of soil from which sprouts an astounding vareity of plant life continues to boggle their cybernetic brains.

 

Will the Cybertronians come to terms with this new way of life or slowly degrade back to simply technological life? New and amazing Elemental forms and powers are theres to explore. They ellude and defy the established science of the land but still can not be denied.

 

 

And how will the Decepticons figure into this scenario?

 

?, the Fire Elemental (no idea here, any suggestions?)

LaserBeak, the Air Elemental

?, the Water Elemental (maybe Sharkticon??)

Rumble, the Earth Elemental.

OK, so you're not loving that idea, how about this one? New Masters!

 

We have all seen Headmasters, Powermasters and Targetmasters. A slightly smaller crowd is probably familar with Brainmasters and Breastmasters from Japan. It's time for some fresh, well... cardio-cyberfluid.

 

Swordmasters - including things like the Star Saber minicon group or possibly old targetmaster minis that just have a blade instead of a barrel

 

Shieldmasters - including things like the Sky Boom Shield minicon group and the Breastmasters (since it was a dumb name anyway

 

Wingmasters - new idea incorporating minicons that transform into Flight Packs for otherwise grounded Autobots (like Prime and occational others have used) and Jet Boosters for otherwise slow Decepticons

 

You like this one better? Any other suggestions along this line?

The thing is most people already have in their minds that the Transtech story line actually takes place after Beast Machines. In which alot of G1 one charaters come back. Transtech
