10. Something new.
9. Something outside of the norm.
8. Something that isn't a reference.
7. Something that isn't an homage.
6. Something that's not from a past series.
5. Something never been done before.
4. Something unique.
3. Something original.
2. Something creative.
1. Something ingenious.
Seriously, the Aligned continuity is relying too much on the elements of past series to tell its story. It needs to branch out and do things on its own merit alone without trying to piggy-back on the success of past series.
Though, here's another list that might suit this topic better.
10. More development for Miko. Flesh out her character a little more from the just okay archetype she currently is.
9. Terrorcon Skyquake to be freed from the Shadowzone and put to good use.
8. More Ratchet-centric episodes.
7. A Soundwave-centric episode. Develop him some to make him a better character.
6. The backstory of Silas and MECH. How they came to be as they are now and why that is.
5. Jack to take command of the Autobots while Optimus is Orion (with Ratchet as an advisor).
4. The Key to Vector Sigma to NOT be the MacGuffin that restores Optimus's memories. Let it have some other, more mysterious and deeper purpose than the obvious.
3. The backstory of how Team Prime first got to Earth.
2. Optimus to stop being so BORING a character! Make Orion Pax able to see for himself how wicked the Decepticons are and willingly rejoin the Autobots on his own volition, without the need of his memories being restored to do so. In fact, have his memories NOT be restored and instead have him work on his own to grow and develop back into being the hero he once... only this time becoming an even
better hero than he was by now being able to show EMOTION!
1. MAKE THIS SHOW MORE EXCELLENT!!! Honestly, enough with the Grimdark stuff already! We need more liveliness to this show as well as gravitas! Sincerity, heart, ingenuity,
FUN, high spirits, depth, emotion, ALL of this needs to be put into this show more to make it great! It's trying too hard to be both serious and for kids, being unable to decide which it wants to be. The silly moments come off as being weird and the serious moments are too uber serious. A much better balance and focus needs to be put into this to make it more worthwhile. And the silly moments need to be better written and not treat the audience like dummies. There is so much potential for this show to be amazing, but it's barely rising towards sea level, as though it's afraid to go above and beyond normality to be more than it can be. And give it a new theme song. One with LYRICS! The current one's too mellow. And kick off a coherent arc-based story plot already!

I doubt the show will go that deep into this, snce Exodus already did and Hasbro pretty much expects whoever are curious of this to go read the book for themselves.

Unicron's gotta stay down there in order for Earth to survive. As of now, he is permanently linked to the Earth's existence.
Kiyza wrote:-Optimus Prime/Orion Pax getting killed off and turned into a zombie through Dark Energon, then, inevitably, revived.
If he gets turned into a Terrorcon, he ain't coming back. When a character dies in this show, they stay dead. There is no reversing death in this show.
