Gauntlet101010 wrote:Changing too much history can change the scope. If it's Beast Wars you want to talk about Beast Wars and not too much about G1. Otherwise the story can get away from you. In that case you can assume someone else dealt with Unicron. I'd probably let all that be nice and vague vague and just have Megatron be sole leader without worrying about a history lesson.

At that point exactly who would get the Matrix? I dunno. My gut reaction is saying Bumblebee, but that wouldn't fit the time period. Prowl or Jazz maybe? They'd have to pick someone on board the Ark.
Gauntlet101010 wrote:What happens to Megatron? After conquering the Earth to use as Cybertron's battery he gets a little too complacent and is finally killed by Starscream in a palace coup. Ceaser style. Following that we get a succession of coups until we get the Tripredacus Council. For all we know that's what happened to Galvatron in G1. Just a knife in the dark. How does BW Megatron get back to being the sole leader? I guess he was on the council until he managed to extract and eat all of their sparks?
The past informs the future. The state of Cybertron and/or the wider galaxy, either through visual narrative or exposition. Would be the backdrop to BW Megs potential reign. The focus wouldn't be on a Great War without Prime. Only how this would alter the BW present.
