I wonder if it's in IDW interests to do something with the unicron trilogy
I think that, while Unicron Trilogy wasn't the worst invesment in term of marketing resarch, Energon and Cybertron Cartoons series were hated by older fans (Maybe not as much as most fan fated Beast Machines at first, but still.). Propably, returning to UT seems too risky for Hasbro and IDW. However, I think that nicely incorporated UT ideas in
alligned continuity (Omega Lock and Star Saber in Prime, Demolishor in WFC) could be a hint, that this universe isn't entirely jossed.

ive got it -when they get finally to something involving unicron they can do what armada did and tie it to a multiverse except we can finally see what happened to energon via another unierse=actually this was an idea of my own what if there is a group of transformers who got stuck jumping from universe to universe -kinda like sliders meets lost in space -were their lost in the multivers on a ship and are trying to figure out were they are and keep picking up bots and cons from other places -similar to that club story with the combiner parts of nexus prime but with more characters that don't share an obvious gimick

also ive been a fan from g1 i just hated energon because the bot designs were terrible -the bad guys were ok -and the story was senseless

The main reason why i like Armada/Energon Universe - it was the only time in history of Transformers Cartoons, where there was a Redshirt Army for Autobots. Of course, the way it was portraied was just silly, but still it was the only time outside Video Games, when there was entire grups of Autobots killed in battles.

casualties do make a war seem more real -though energon wasn't well written and doesn't make much sense

The Headmasters cartoon did that before all else:

this is one problem with the old g1 stuff when they make disposables they don't look like they belong -they don't look like transformers that much -personally i liked the auto trooper form animated those looked like army units even if their all the same at least they look transformable kibble ect

The Autotroopers were a homage to the Autoroopers from Kiss Players:

Kiss Players is more underrated than people give it credit for. For good reason, mind you, but if one were to completely eliminate all of the skeeviness from that series, one would see that it does contain two very interesting storylines.

True, but Headmasters are Japan-exclusive series, so they aren't mainstream series in eastern region. Isn't this even non-canon in US?

However, it is nice to know that there is something with red shirts outside Energon. I think I give Headmasters chance :grin:

Autotroopers are nice idea, but sadly they didn't die in dozens, and they role is limited to few episodes. I wish they decide to use them in Prime :-(

Well, considering Japan is in the Far East, I think Headmasters would be mainstream in the Eastern region. Image
