Or how about RiD having Autobots vs. both Predacons and Decepticons?

Or Beast Wars Neo having Cybertrons/Maximals vs. Destrons/Predacons vs. Blentrons/Blendtrons?

And, for a while, Energon had Autobots and Decepticons vs. Terrorcons (until the Cons joined the Terrorcons the latter became a subgroup of the former).

Or those two hours in Revenge of the Fallen where it was the creators versus the audience and money was on the sidelines waiting to see what happened. And then the money sided with the creators and the audience lost.

As I recall, the Predacons and Decepticons were part of the same team. Sure, Scourge plotted to overthrow Megatron/Galavatron, but they ALL answered to Megatron. You could even argue the Decepticons were a sub-faction of the Predacons in RiD, and Scourge took the role traditionally held by Starscream.

Besides which, unless the upcoming "Beast Hunters" season is about this, I think the idea of a third faction in Prime has started to fade. With Airachnid locked away, the Insecticons have been absorbed into the Decepticons, and unless remnants start popping up, I think MECH's pretty much done. As for Starscream... well, one rogue does not a faction make.

Well, yes, both did answer to Megatron/Galvatron, both the two groups were still at odds with each other, both trying to gain Megatron's favor over the other, up until the end of the series.

Well, that's what the Star Seekers, who all turn into beasts, would be for.
