Transformers Animated: Season 4ever

[Toph]

Potential Season 4 stories we could have had:

-Lord Chumsly hunting the Dinobots

-Prometheus Black finally creates his organic transformer (Savage/Noble)

-Jazz talks Bumblebee and Bulkhead into forming a band. Episode villain: Soundwave!

-Someone commissions the Constructicons to create new Dinobots, but who, and why? Answer, Lord Chumsly is back and no longer a hunder, but an animal adventurer, and wants to open a Dinobot Theme park.

-New Starscream clones have appeared. A trio (AMTC: Vanity, Black: Emo, and Machine Wars: the part that's actually a competent leader), but a forth clone shows up wanting to help the Autobots (Jetfire/SG), insisting he was held captive by the others, forced to use his scientific mind to make them self sustaining without the original.

-Strika comes looking for Lugnut. Strika wants snu-snu.

-Recapturing SG/JF Starscream, MW puts him back to work. And with the help of ALL the clones, and Forestonite or Nucleon, "Good" Starscream is able to resurrect the true Starscream in a new clone body. (Either Actionmaster or G2 colors)

-Rodimus Prime and the Angry Archer go head to head to see whom is the greatest archer in the land.

One story arc over season 4 and 5, is the fall of Sentinel.
Optimus took down and brought in Megatron. He can't stand that. As his cracks start showing, the public is losing confidence in him, while Optimus is the celebrity he always wanted to be.
And either he's defeated in election, or through plot, optimus somehow restores Ultra Magnus.
And when Sentinel loses his temporary Magnus title, he blames Optimus for EVERYTHING.
This was Optimus's plan all along! To sully his image and steal his spotlight!
And while the Decepticons have spent a season and a half trying to figure out how to rescue Megatron, or if they even should, Sentinel does it for them, and joins him as Nemesis Prime!

Cast:
Autobots- With Prowl gone and Optimus needing to spend more time on Cybertron, the Detroit Autobot team is in dire straits.
Earth is still in danger from Decepticons, so Optimus sends Ratchet, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Sari back. Joining them are Jazz, as acting commander when Op isn't around (though he'd rather just chill and take in all the groovy things Earth has to offer), and Arcee whom is Arcee's combat and Cybertronian Histories instructor.

With Megatron and his top lieutenants in prison, the decepticons are in disarray and more of a revolving door than the previous seasons, with a few guys trying to make a name for themselves.

I seem to remember the original season 4 plans surfaced
They sounded bad and poorly paced
Does anyone have a link to the information?
If so I'll give you a salutation

Bits and pieces were in the allspark almanac. And thus are scattered across the wiki.

Contains info on what would have happened if season four was made. Hasbro and Cartoon Network collaborated extensively on what such a thing would be like.

•The season's theme would be energon, since the Allspark left energon deposits all over Detroit and the surrounding area.
•There would be more on Sari's origin and Blackarachnia would have a growing army of Predacons.
•Sari and Bulkhead would stay on Cybertron to continue Sari's education and to protect the energon farms from Decepticons.
•Among the main characters, Ironhide would receive an Earth mode and replace Bulkhead, and Jazz would replace Prowl.
•Bludgeon would have appeared, as a pirate.
•Ultra Magnus was planned to go offline after being attacked by our favorite double agent back in Season 3.

Some episode proposals were listed:
•"The Trial of Megatron" - Three-part season premiere; Sari wants to learn more about her origins, Sentinel tries to become Magnus, Bulkhead's hometown is targeted by Decepticons, Megatron relocates Kaon to Earth using his trial as a distraction, and there is a spectacular prison break.
•"Allspark-alypse Now!" - Sentinel comes to Earth and intends to use the AllSpark to kill Megatron, as Prowl's ghost inhabits Cybertronians powered by AllSpark fragments, telling Optimus about the consequences of Sentinel's ideas.
•"S.T.E.A.M." - The Autobots are forced to save their detractors when the steampunk tool-using, anti-technological Luddites of "Save The Earth And Mankind" run afoul of Soundwave.
•"Mirror, Mirror" - Bulkhead and Sari enter a mirror universe with evil Autobots and heroic Decepticons.
•"Gremlins in the Gears" - The Minicons who run Kaon disassemble all machinery in Detroit, and Ratchet and Fanzone have to stop them.
•"It Came from Planet Cybertron" - Cosmos has an important message for Optimus, and comes to Earth to tell him. He loses his memory after scanning a prop flying saucer from a B-movie's set, and hi-jinks ensue.
•"Turf War" - The Constructicons battle with the Decepticons over control of the energon in Detroit.
"Megatron Must Be Destroyed!" - The two-part season finale (series finale?) would have had Megatron's machinations threaten the entire planet. Optimus gathers as many allies as imaginable to defeat Megatron once and for all.

Three rejected toy concepts were shown: Marauder Megatron (Megatron in a new body, and as a Triple Changer), Hot Shot (an Earth-mode toy inspired by his 2008 Universe figure), and Powermaster Optimus Prime (would have combined with a trailer and a Minicon to improve his size and power, looking similar to the original Powermaster Prime). Hot Shot and Megatron made it as far as the prototype stage, but Powermaster Prime existed only as concept art. There is a note from Hasbro outright stating that they will never be released, despite their wishes.
