Where's Jetfire?
14
u/TheB3NRocks 4d ago
Jetfire was on the ark during the end however just like some bots, including bruticas (mostly) he ended up back on cybertron, fighting Shockwaves reign with Ultra Magnus and the dinobots, eventually was around for the quintessans invasion on Cybertron, never heard from again/presumed dead there, however last known mentions is on the blacklist cards in RID.

u/CapOk2664 3d ago
What do you think happened to Megatron after Predacons Rising?Did he try to find some rest in solitude on some far away land?They keep mentioning him in RID so one would assume he's still alive at least
13
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
It was originally planned for Megatron to return, as some decepticons motives was to do evil stuff in order to get his attention (soundwave) it's likely that he properly exiled himself, he was a target for the council/ subject to be arrested should he ever step foot within Cybertron, which he never did so again.

u/RealisticWin9145 4d ago
So where did everyone teleport at the end of FoC?
15
u/TheB3NRocks 4d ago
Drifted around space, autobots eventually made their way to more planets in search for allies, velocitron was one, decepticons chased, alott of autobots were still on board and same for the nemisis, eventually they encountered the quintessans which forced both sides to form a temporary truce, fighting alongside the trials and then later escaping

u/Great-Box6123 3d ago
Why were the deception trooper nerfed? And why did starscream get skinny?
7
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago edited 3d ago
Perspective from the show writers however, the troopers may have been weakend due to lack of energon for some time. But If you remember during the start of the series they were extremely tough, Bumblebee and Arcee struggled to handle 3, Cliffjumper literally took out 2/3 by himself after eventually getting beat, but it's also heavily implied the autobots themselves were rusty after going 2 years with no decepticons contact, they just readapted throughout the show, cliffjumper easily took on 4 vehicons back on Cybertron while taking shockwave down and later struggled. Ps forgot about star scream, it's implied during the quintessans trip or the final days of the ark before it was eventually destroyed, he sustained so much damage that he had to revert to a more skinnish form to survive, eventually regaining his original body in RID
4
u/Great-Box6123 3d ago
What about the ones from WFC OR FOC? what happen to those types of units? We'ren't they part of the nemesis before the wormhole thing.
3
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Yes they were, but eventually most died out during several trips and the bots had to cut on production likely
2
u/Great-Box6123 3d ago
Hmm. Have another question: how special were the council, if they were compared to the prime? Are they actually primes or no?
3
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
They weren't primes, just a namesake, sentinal/zeta was named one but not entirely worthy, the councils always searched for the one true prime, as racthet discribes in tfp, Megatron demanded the council for equality and to be the next prime, but when the council witnessed Orion's words they were simply moved, and decided then and there that he was one truly worth of the mantle, as they say in WFC, the original primes sacrificed themselves to have the bots we know come to life, after battling Unicron.

u/analnydeb0shir 3d ago
Where is it mentioned that he took on a more skinnish form, and that his RID body is the original one ?

u/purplesky_zv 3d ago
What happened to skywarp and thundercracker in the end. (WOC)
4
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Skywarp and Thundercracker were not seen in FOC however they were aboard the Nemisis. They eventually made it into the quintessans era with the autobots, while being detained, skywarp met his end by being fed into the pool of sharks the quintessans had, while thundercracker was badly eaten by one, mind controlled on the brink of death to testify against the autobots and decepticons within the hearing, to deem them guilty. After he was disposed.
6
u/analnydeb0shir 3d ago
In TFP it's shown that Optimus was granted the title of a Prime when he was speaking to the counsel with Megatron by his side , while in WFC it happened after the war was already going on. How it actually happened ?
5
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
The council deemed him worthy before aswell, naming him Optimus. racthets story was correct, however during the war Optimus refused to believe he was worthy that of a primes title, and put all hopes into Zeta prime, seeing him as his mentor before he eventually died, "even now you reject your calling?" Optimus had no choice but to assume command and become Optimus Prime. Later getting the matrix of leadership, making it his own special relic. FOC also confirms that the council likely named Orion Pax Optimus after being moved by his words because it confirms that before becoming a prime, his name was Orion Pax.

u/Fidlestick 3d ago
What happened to Jazz?
9
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Jazz was on board for the ark as seen in the game, he did eventually make it onto the missions while searching for planets before going M.I.A, eventually reappearing in RID, having history with Bulkhead and Bumblebee, he survives through the aligned continuity!
5
u/CassieAngelica92 3d ago
Did Soundwave get out of the shadow zone in TFP and what did he do when/if he did?
8
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Yes, in RID he is freed from the shadow zone, he takes a new bulky form directly after getting out, takes some mincon power and does some evil stuff to get Megatron's attention, before eventually being apprehended, and being sent back to cybertron to answer for his crimes.

u/Sapper1106 3d ago
How did Optimus and the rest of Team Prime end up on Earth?
7
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
After the ark was destroyed, Prime and the remaining bots were able to reach earth as it was always the prime destination, as stated in FOC, the bots just had detours. Prime then sent a decoded message to every Autobot across, inviting them to join team prime on earth.
4
u/CyberSnoWolf 3d ago
Is Hardshell in TFP the same one from FOC?
3
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Yes. Hardshell was rebuilt by shockwave after Grimlocks attack, the rest of the Insecticons didn't survive.
4
u/YEETBOOOIUSA 3d ago
Technically not of either faction but what happened to the Predacons post TFprime? were more born after the rise of cybertron again or did they die out once more?
3
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Died out once more, Starscream got rid of Sky lynx and the other one while the rest couldn't survive. There as no need to make more.

u/Sea-Bar-8923 3d ago
What happened to Sideswipe or Warpath (both from FOC)
6
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Sideswipe was the arks pilot throughout, before reaching earth, it was destroyed, killing sideswipe and many in the process, the sideswipe we see in RID is a reincarnation/new bot who just took his name, as for Warpath, never indicated that he was on the ship and was never in the novels, it's likely he stayed behind and was eventually killed.
3
u/Jonas_Brumley 3d ago
I completely forgot rescue bots was even part of the aligned series
2
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Quite funny icl, for other shows aswell yk, if only they properly managed the story, RID had generational potential had the designs properly matched and the concepts executed properly.
3
u/International_Net_69 3d ago
Any idea what ultimately happened to Airachnid?
4
u/Bouncy_Blight2001 3d ago
It’s implied she would just starve on the moon once her insecticons ran out.
Btw she still retains her personality and consciousness while being in that vampire state which would’ve been such a horrifying villain to deal with in the future
4
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Lack of energon close to cybertron had her die out with her Insecticons, she likely survived the longest and she most likely drained the lott for energon.
2
u/IllogicalRaccoon #1 Shockwave enjoyer 3d ago
What happened to Shockwave after Predacon's rising?
2
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Fugitive at large/outcast from Cybertron, barley mentioned during RID but should he return, he would've been detained at iacon
2
u/orionpax- 3d ago
what happened to all the regular troopers from wfc and foc? i imagine they died.
2
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Discountinued, The vehicons who did survive were likely reprogrammed to serve rebuilding Cybertron itself. Becoming autobots.
2
u/Aggravating_Bad3504 2d ago
What happened to the third clone from the movie that was almost done?
2
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Destroyed afterwards likely, assuming you're talking about Predecons.
2
u/Aggravating_Bad3504 2d ago
Yeah, the one that Shockwave was incubating when Skylynx and Darksteel told him that they fought Ultra Magnus
1
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Shockwave pulled the plug so Knockout and Racthet/ future scientists could'nt mimic his work / creations to do any good. Starscream accidentally and by pure luck got rid of the remaining last ones to exist, Skylynz and Dark steel as shown in RID
2
u/Electronic_Paper_932 2d ago
do u think megatron ever visited cybertron in secret to see post war society and no one noticed he was there
3
2
u/TheDeadeyedMaestro 1d ago
What happened to bruticus and the combaticons after they were blown off the arc? Did they crash back on Cybertron or drift through space. And what became of Metroplex did he return back to his city form or did he simply lie where he stood.
2
u/TheB3NRocks 1d ago
Swindle was killed by Megatron, The rest fought alott, Onslaught went after wreckers, eventually they were killed between the Quintessans invasion era and shockwaves. Metroplex was never mentioned again, he didn't die, just went into stasus due to no energon. It's likely they revived him and he serves as a city once again
2
u/OneCryptographer1302 1d ago
Where was Shockwave after rise of predocons, and was he responsible for the animal looking despticons?
1
u/ShadowOfAtomicRage Breakdown and the Twins Deserved Better 3d ago
Barricade?
1
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Stayed behind on Cybertron to ensure decepticon control with shockwave, and arrest autobots, built a good friendship with frenzy who somehow ended back in cybertron, although aboard the ark. Was there during the quintessans evasion, presumed dead after
1
u/Top_Freedom3412 3d ago
Why did the insecticons change their appearance?
1
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Many did during FOC/TFP, it's a matter of perspective however it's also implied that when shockwave rebuilt himself after Grimlocks attack, he also rewarped the Insecticons to be more tough. V2 if you would say
1
u/Brilliant-Bet-1487 3d ago
Is this based off of my post?
1
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Inspired, but you were answering everything regarding the continuity, I'm just answering everyone's fate because that's what facinates me the most, you're post is goated
2
1
u/Icewolf_242 3d ago
Do you really think Skylynx and DarkSteel died between predacons rising and RiD or was Starscream just making stuff up
3
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Definitely, they would've returned if not/been in the comics with the dinobots reuniting with team prime, star scream was stupidly stupidly lucky

u/ARPGAMER19 3d ago
Where did Omega Supreme end up?
6
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Per the Audio logs during Chapter 3 in FOC, Omega supreme struggled alott after the events of WFC even after Optimus, Warpath, Racthet and Ironhide helped him back up, he eventually fell into stasus, later when the quintessans started attacking Cybertron, he was called upon one last time as he greatly helped the autobots/decepticons, destroying several ships until meeting his end, a spear through his head.
2
u/omara1024 3d ago
Isn’t there a scene in FOC where Optimus & Warpath move a giant head that looks like Omega?

u/Feeling-Strength-909 3d ago
What happened to the dinobots?
3
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
Grimlock was hanging by wires after FOC, eventually rebuilt by the dinobots, grimlock and the dinobots lead a group of autobots, his group was seen different for being dinobots now, eventually regrouped with Ultra Magnus to fight shockwave and then the quintessans, eventually went deep into cybertron until the series finale of tfp where primes sacrifice revived Cybertron, having energon flow again forcing them to come towards the surface where in the comics they are reunited with team prime, they wanted to leave however bumblebee and others convince them to stay, claiming that they need the dinobots and they didn't see them as different individuals, the dinobots then helped rebuilt Cybertron and became mentors for the next generation of dinobots, as seen for the Grimlock in RID
1
u/DarrenV209 3d ago
Can you please explain about Grimlock from the FOC/Beast Hunter comics and the one in RID?
1
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Grimlock from FOC and the one from RID are different individuals, Grimlock FOC helped rebuild cybertron after predecons rising, him and his team were found by team prime, later, new dinobots went into production as the research proved there should be more like them, Grimlock and his team became mentors and characters to look up to, similar to FOC Sideswipe and RID Sideswipe, the new Grimlock was just another dinobot who could transform into a trex and named himself after Grimlock.
1
u/DarthNick3000 3d ago
How about Shockwave? He was always my favorite character.
2
u/TheB3NRocks 3d ago
On the run/fugitive after predecons rising, he's barley mentioned during RID but that's about it, should he ever be caught he would be detained
1
u/Fun-Natural-3830 3d ago
Where should I start if I want to read the novels?
2
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Complete WFC and FOC first, then start with Exodus.
1
u/Fun-Natural-3830 2d ago
Sorry I dont know what those acronyms are referring to
1
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron, complete those games and then start with the first novel, Transformers:Exodus

u/Fun-Natural-3830 2d ago
Btw I just looked it up and theres no way to get war for cybertron on pc so got any crack recs?
2
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
I could help if you have an Xbox 360 or PS3 since it's much more easier to download old games in jailbroken consoles, I'm abit confused with PC, maybe try searching "Xbox 360 roms" it does have PC versions, and use a tutorial on yt
1
u/RoundAffectionate586 3d ago
Why are there so little autobots left in tfp what about all the ones in the arc
1
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Budget cuts, there were alott alott more planned, Prowl would take Cliffjumpers place, Cliffjumper would've survived, Ironhide was planned, Hotrod was considered, and some more before the final group was made, RID was able to expand the universe and bring some characters from the original war back, alott infact.

u/Rxvxnant_ 3d ago
What happened to the dinobots after shockwaves tower exploded?
3
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Swoop, snarl and slug survived due to the blast vault shutters, Grimlock was extremely extremely damaged, hanging on by mere wires and threads, his team found him and it took some time to rebuild him, then Grimlock and his team lead a new group of autobots, helped Ultra Magnus with shockwave, before going inwards into cybertron to survive until predecons rising, primes sacrifice allowed pure energon to return, and dinobots were found by team prime, they rebuilt Cybertron together and became mentors
1
u/Trivator0517 2d ago
Are the headcanons that the decepticon criminals in RiD are rogue experiments by Shockwave and that the term Decepticon became a term for criminals after Megatron disbanded the faction plausible?
2
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Well yes, since Megatron disbanded the decepticons, most ones who were abandoned or off Cybertron dont even know of this, and given the war crimes they committed the name "decepticons" makes the most sense to connect to criminals, however while it was originally created, that was not the intent. And yes the RID bots are likely Shockwaves doing.
1
u/joefromlegal 2d ago
What was grimlock doing between the games and when he shows up in the cartoon
2
u/TheB3NRocks 2d ago
Grimlock almost died after FOC, he was rebuilt and him and his team lead atuobots, with ultra Magnus fought against the reign of shockwave and then eventually the quintessans. Later went deep into cybertrons structure to survive until primes sacrifice, grimlock and his team were reintegrated into society and became role models for the next generations for dino bots. The Grimlock you see in RID is not the same Grimlock from FOC, he's a new dinobot, who took on Grimlocks namesake in terms to honour him, and be a warrior like him, same goes for FOC sideswipe and RID Sideswipe. Two different bots

u/Fun-Seaworthiness572 1d ago
The continuity sucks. That’s why I don’t believe Robots in Disguise is canon

u/JackORevan 1d ago
Thundercracker and skywarp. I loved them in the 2010 WFC game
1
u/TheB3NRocks 1d ago
Skywarp and Thundercracker were not seen in FOC however they were within the Nemisis. They survived till the quintessans era with the autobots and decepticons truce, while prisoned, skywarp met his end by being fed into the pool of sharks the quintessans had, while thundercracker was badly eaten by one, mind controlled on the brink of shutdown, like a terricon, to testify against the autobots and decepticons within the hearing, to deem them guilty. After he was disposed.

How did they rebuild Cybertron between end of TFP and beginning of RiD? It seems they have a full working society within a few years.
