Transformers Energon: Reboot/Trivia

Spoilers/Changes to the original/Notes
The following is a reboot to the original series.

The series may featured to have less than 50 episodes rather than the original.

The series is divided into 4 seasonal arcs: Energon, Alliance Disbanded, Story of Legends (being the shortest) and The Unicron Wars which serve as the series finale.

Optimus Prime will remain in space a couple episodes and the rest of the series will explore an arc of Optimus Prime returning to role of leadership.

The reboot will delve more into the autobot/decepticon alliance.

The creation for the Combiner teams: Devastator and Superion Maximus will be portrayed differently unlike in the original anime where they portrayed as ancient super transformer combiners.

Such characters and plot devices and vehicles like Super Energon, Bruticus Maximus, Bulkhead, Mirage, Roadblock (Inferno's new form), The Miranda II, The Ironhide Team, and Unicron Orb have been officially confirmed to be not be part of the reboot, believing most of these things do need to be apart of the story overall.

Wheeljack, Hoist, Blurr, Red Alert, Scavenger, and several minicons like the Requiem Blasters, Star Saber from Transformers: Armada will return.

Shockblast is not a member of the main decepticon group, but rather a terrorcon leader and warrior, in the reboot he was formally a decepticon who was forced to give up the cause after a failed raid attempt on a planet called Dabola.

Grimlock and Swoop who were formally toy exclusive characters, appear in the reboot, unlike in the anime, and are portrayed as part of Rodimus's team.

Sharkticon, Dreadwing also are present in the reboot, Dreadwing was formally a toy exclusive character but Sharkticon appeared in the dreamwave comics.

Tidal Wave is portrayed more as commander role and personality wise in energon will not become mirage.

Cyclonus will not become Snowcat, instead a new different name. Megatron will not be Galvatron, instead he will a different upgrade similar to his Galvatron phase at one point in the reboot, but Cyclonus may have different form that is still retaining his helicopter mode, as does Demolisher though it is unknown right now if his new form will be based on his Dump Truck form.

A future episode will explore Unicron's origins including a connection he has to Cybertron and his ability to reincarnate deceased characters.

The return to Unicron's feeding off hatred theme will return.

Alpha Quintesson's character will be portrayed differently acting more like a General rather than King, and is a member of the Royal Quintesson Tribe.

The Royal Quintesson Tribe is an original group led by multiple members of the race including Alpha.

When Kicker's hair glow, it is emerald green rather than golden in the original.

In the original, Alexis doesn't know of Starscream's return, nor does anyone (autobots and humans mainly) recognize the former as a hero who stood up to Unicron in Armada. Instead in the reboot several episodes will focus on Starscream's memory loss and his buildup to returning to a freedom fighter, Alexis and Starscream will interact.
