Some interesting possibilities there. Especially the Minicon concepts.

Earlier this month at TFCon LA 2024, Transformers Animated scholar Keyan Carlile played host to a very special celebratory panel that covered a wide array of deleted scenes that had been written for and cut from many episodes of Transformers Animated. Also hosting the panel were lead writer Marty Isenberg, lead toy designer Eric Siebenaler, Transformers archivist Jim Sorenson (co-author of the AllSpark Almanac books), and Optimus Prime voice actor David Kaye.
During this panel, a live presentation was given for each deleted scene discussed, in which nearly all of them had been newly animated and voice-acted specifically for this occasion, albeit with animation created by Keyan himself and most of the dialogue provided by soundalike voice actors (David Kaye and Corey Burton were the only show cast members that Keyan had been able to get back to reprise their roles for these scenes).
A complete recording of the panel was uploaded a couple weeks back:
And now, a high-quality compilation of just the deleted scenes has been uploaded.
If you just want to watch the scenes by themselves, check out the second video. But if you're interested in the creator commentary provided by Marty, Eric, and Jim, check out the first video as well.
The panel also goes into several characters that were cut from the show as well, including some that could have made it into the show's never-made fourth season.

Interesting stuff. I heard about that Beachcomber scene years back. Nice to actually see it animated.

Remember the Headmaster? How cringey his 2000s gamer slang was? Well, what if he instead spoke in gamer slang of TODAY?
Transformers Animated scholar Keyan Carlisle has provided us a glimpse of that very hypothetical with this hilariously cheesy video featuring brand new dialogue recorded by the one and only Alex Polinsky, the Headmaster's original voice actor.
Language warning for the end of the video as there's some uncensored dialogue from the recording session between Carlisle and Polinsky:
