During the era of Beast Wars and Beast Machines, Hasbro was flying solo in the toy design while Takara wasn't entirely interested in the franchise.
Hasbro's original concept for the successor to Beast Machines would have been the vehicular Transtech toyline, continuing in the Beast Machines design theory of futuristic styling.
This line was cancelled when Takara came back into the mix after the success of Beast Wars, and Transtech was never to be.
However, some toy designs have surfaced in later years, the latest of which is sketches of Transtech "Destroyer Tank" Megatron, as released to the public by Sems Fir of Behindthetoys.com. An imaginative viewer could see some design ideas that may have partially inspired Armada's Megatron.
You can check the sketches of both Transtech Megatron's modes out here.
