Exactly. A thorough enough overhaul to make a cleaner series that's only "based" on the story of the dirty series.
The story and all the characters would be the same in a broad sense. But all the specific attributes of the story and characters that are considered grotesque would be removed and/or altered. Kinda like how the Armada cartoon and Armada comics both told the same basic story with the same basic characters, but were drastically different when it came to the specifics of each.

Only if she keeps her body to herself.

Yeah, I was started to think that making it G-rated might be asking a bit much, but anything above PG is pushing it, as we already got a bunch of PG-13 stuf from ROTF that we need not be given again.

I agree,This sounds similar to what Simon Furman wants to do with marvel TF G-1 Issue #81. simon wants to forget G-2 happened. simon wants to leave out some TF G-1 marvel comics events.
Basically taking stuff away leads on the border line of a "What if" or spiralling stuff out in a alternate universe/reality.
What I'm going for is the same story and same characters, but with all the gross content and concepts removed/altered to make it cleaner.

Of course. I don't want it to be the exact same thing as it was before. Just that it is "BASED" on it by having the same story and characters, but told in a child-safe way.
Zombie Starscream wrote:3. I would also get rid (like another poster said) of the Legions/Megatrons phallic 'tongues' and replace them with nothing/something else. But if you want to make them stay scary, then they have to keep some horror element
True. But there are different kinds of "scary". There is "cool" scary (
), and "gross" scary (
). What the Legion would need is more
and less/no
.

That's... still disturbing. Remember, the Transformers are still for children first and foremost. That age range needs to be kept in mind before all else.

This is why I just figured it would be best to make the them Powermasters. The concept is identical, plus not only familiar but clean to boot.
Though, they may not have to be girls wearing metal exo-suits for this to work (unless one want them to), as they could be a different variation of Powermaster that involves them bonding to a Transformer wearing normal clothing in a more mystical way instead of the technical method of changing into an engine and attaching to the bots' bodies.

No. Sunstreaker, Alert, and Broadblast were all Binaltech Asterisk toys. Kiss Players only had Convoy, Hot Rodimus, and Autorooper.
