Just occured to me that, for a G1 revamp, the IDW set-up does seem to borrow some stuff from RID:
* In both, the Autobots purposefully arrived on Earth in secret, blending in with their car forms to walk among us unseen. Before this, Megatron and his forces have ravaged hundreds of worlds.
* A Maguffin that causes the Decepticons to be here, which was sent to Earth thousands of years ago by the Decepticons (Maximus/Ore-13).
* The Autobots can go from their base to anywhere on the planet due to a transport network system (Space Bridge/orbital bounce).
* The use of hologram humans (Tai/avatars).
Can Astrotrain being forced to hold a falling tower up be far behind?

There are some storytelling similarities, but the tone and pace of each are so different they really do feel like two different universe.

There are one or two stock "bits" that they have in common. But I think you could probably find as many points of similarity for each with things outside of Transformers as for each other.
