When you speak of a reboot, do you mean a new iteration of the franchise like UT and Animated, or a complete rewrite of the franchise from the ground up? Because I think Aligned and every previous superhero comic reboot (especially DC's) have shown how well the last one tends to work out...

Anyway, while I'm also a fan of the more alien explorations of Transformers design and culture (for example, how does a race that can modify or even replace their bodies define identity and mortality?), I wouldn't get rid of all the humanization. Both because I enjoy seeing the similarities between alien and human species despite the differences, and because even the most drastic xenofiction requires some humanization to be relatable (or do you think Watership Down would be half as fun if the rabbits thought like real rabbits and were incapable of abstract thought, let alone religion and mythology?).

One idea I'd like to see was a post-war series where the Decepticons won. As far as I'm aware, most of the series either have the war ongoing, starting or the Autobots have won and the Decepticons/Predacons are the underclass; having the Autobots already lost and their opressed descendants trying to regain their liberty is something we've never seen yet. Maybe have some of the big names like Bumblebee, Rodimus, Arcee and/or Ironhide as mentors found in the wilderness of Cybertron, and leading the younger generation (made of both obscure, recent and brand-new characters) to explore Cybertron and other sites of the war - including eventually Earth - for something that can turn the tide: either relics from the war, or Optimus himself.

Also, I'd definitely reduce their lifespan, possibly to thousands instead of millions of years. While Cybertronians' rididculous long lives have been a staple of the franchise since day 1, it's honestly difficult to write or take seriously worldbuilding when almost every member of their species has existed since the very dawn of their civilization. It kinda breaks the illusion of a long, well-developed civilization when the same big names - including the younger ones - have been there from nearly the beginning. Also, how do they develop legends and stories when there are so many people in the present who should remember what really happened?

There are also two more ideas I'd like to explore: the mythology of Cybertronians, and the underground societies/monsters like the Demons and Mutants. The first is something I've always loved due to my passion of cross-genre science fantasy, but most of the time it's stuck in the same Primus-Unicron mythos (and usually very poorly, in my opinion, but that's neither here nor there) and rarely explores other possible pantheons like the Covenant or Primacron. The latter is something I've always found would make a good third wildcard faction, but are rarely ever used.
