What would have happened after the war on Earth was over?
This is a speculation thread, so any odd theories you have, feel free to post away.

Being either the 'cons having won, or the 'bots won, would they have stayed on Earth, or would they have all packed up and left for Cybertron?

And if they left, would they have never bothered with Earth again, or would they want to come back once in a while?

If they stayed, would they have chosen to outpost on it or would they have even become settlers/colonists? Or even chosen to enslave humans? (D'cons)

If the 'Cons had won, it'd probably be a safe bet to assume that there would be a frenzy to plunder as many resources as possible, then do many unspeakable things to the planet itself for fun and "come-uppance" for having to spend so much time on the dustball. Because, y'know, that's the general Decepticon modus operandi.

The Autobots, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about. If the war had ended in their favor, they might just pull all operations from the planet and return to Cybertron to begin reconstruction. Then again, after spending so much time on Earth, there would probably be treaties or agreements that any damage done to Earth would need to be repaired, maybe some technology shared, et cetera. Some of the more down-to-Earth (forgive the pun!) 'Bots, like Beachcomber and Jazz, might even opt to stick around and become "intergalactic citizens," if you will...

...but then again, there's a lot of work to be done back home, so the likeliest action on the Autobots' part would be to just pack-up and leave as little impact behind.

I agree with this statement. Megatron/Galvatron would make the humans suffer for their alliance with the Autobots.

Optimus would more than likely want to pull out after doing what they could on Earth and give the humans their peace..but weither that would happen or not would be discovered as time went on...myabe he'd decide to keep in touch or even open an allaince with the Earth Government.

Roddy would stay in touch with Earth, he loves it there and he wouldn't want to leave Daniel behind. It would be like the time during the the of the movie and the start of FFOD...before the Sharkticons came and took prisoners during that race.

By the time of Beast Wars the location of Earth has been forgotten, so the Autobots/Maximals (depending on if this happened before or after upgrade) must have withdrawn completely from Earth.

The Autobots must have figured that they'd caused Earth enough trouble as it was.

Autobots: They would depart for Cybertron, leaving behind a few guardians as it were, to help the humans advance in technology and space travel, etc. The Autobots would likely colonize wherever they went, so long as they were welcome.

decepticons: They would "milk this planet dry!!!" as Megatron said it so eloquently, and enslave humanity for their own egos and goals until they were of no use. Then, they would depart, leaving a dead planet, while laughing at the puny fleshlings that they so easily conquered.

They might still use it as an outpost later on, however.
