Assumption: if you ever got the chance to remake tfa, you would make it at least 20x more fucked up, and Optimus would be shown avoiding medical care for some reason or other. Also Arcee would be treated so much better because they did her so dirty, the bar is almost laying on the ground and i trust you to step over it.
That is certainly tempting and truly Arcee does deserve better and in TFA THERE'S SO MUCH WE CAN GIVE HER!! Making her an intelligence officer gives her so many fun potential dynamics given the Mess that becomes autobot intelligence in TFA (thanks a lot Shockwave)
Honestly, if I were to remake it i'd want to just spend a bit more time on a lot of the things already in the show but not really elaborated on. I'd slip in more interactions between the sympathetic decepticons like Blackarachnia & the constructicons and the main decepticons, establish Longarm more before his reveal (though even just showing them in the background more would be nice)
Maybe throw in more flashbacks to the past when it comes to the elite trio, whether it's more bittersweet memories from before Archa Seven or more interactions between Optimus and Sentinel afterwards. Hell, I'd want to show how and when Blackarachnia first joined the decepticons, and if she's always had one foot out of the door there even when she first joined. If we utilize some of the planned S4 stuff, we could build up such a nice setup for her eventual defection and the TFA predacons. (Especially ESPECIALLY if there's a teased plot that she Could defect back to the autobots, which leads us to the third party faction twist when BA ultimately doesn't)
I'd mostly want to spend a bit more time on a lot of the things we've been given, forever and in general
Honestly I'm curious what'd happen to TFA's animation style a good 20 years later and with a bigger budget too
In general there's such nice scenes you can accomplish to Arcee being part of autobot intelligence during the war, finding herself severely injured on the job and out of commission for a while, then coming back later on while the division is actively on fire because of a decepticon spy and another major officer's severe injury
There's a nice sense of mutual understanding you can play up between Arcee and Blurr after Blurr's revival/repairs, and it can interact with the Sentinel Magnus stuff in fun ways (especially if they get sent to investigate mecha under the idea of rooting out more spies, whether they actually end up being decepticon spies or are actually innocent)
When Soundwave finally gets Rumble back, the minicons' put in one of Frenzy's spare frames while he remembers what it's like having limbs and a face again with a fresh layer of paint slapped on.
(it is slightly lazy on my part to just do a recolor i'll admit but i doubt the show itself would have done much different)
Rumble refuses to go on missions alone now, not that Frenzy or Lazerbeak minds accompanying him. If anyone else has a problem with it they can take it up with sound wave.
he's twitchier than he used to be and (while he'll never admit) is genuinely terrified of the Wrecker Snipers who used his spark as unlimited ammunition. (Soundwave is planning all sorts of nasty schemes for those two.)

Soundwave-esque paint jobs. These would be used mostly in flashbacks
Picturing AgeSwap Megs ordering an assault on Autobot base, attempt at taking any of the Autobots prisoners... just so he could ask them about OP's interests.
All the Autobots have varying amounts of confusion/understanding, thinking it's a ploy to trap Optimus. Peepaws Bee and Bulkhead can tell this youngling just has it down bad and can't simply ask for dating advice. They've witnessed badder pining before.
This scenario is so funny, I imagine that Megatron would kidnap them if possible just cuz he knows OP will come to save them. Although he would mostly just demand to know OP’s weaknesses, and Bulkhead and Bee would just watch this play out with exasperation.
I like to believe that parental protocols aren’t just a ‘given’ thing.
It kind of depends on if you follow canon rules or just go with your headcanon and how your headcanon works.
While yes I believe there are multiple ways and reasons that one can make a sparkling on their planet if they desire one whether it’s on the two parts of the natural side, the traditional side… or the asexual way of their species existing.
But the thing that’s been itching me is such… how does a species like cybertronians have good and bad parents when parental protocols exist and how does one even define good and bad parenting relationships.
It’s something I need to think about but for the most part? I like to thinks it’s their choice of when, where or how they activated their protocols.
If they then question to decide becoming a parental unit they just get access to a dormant code in their systems that appears for roughly… any second depending on their process and personality coding.
If it’s longer than 5 seconds then they’ll probably be on a learning curve of being a parent unit, meaning they need more time to think about their option.
If the time is shorter than 5 seconds like either a split second or 2 than they don’t really need to do the training since their instincts to being a good parent unit have been there for a lot longer than normal.
It’ll pop up every once in a while when a bot thinks about the option of being a sire or carrier in the near future…
… unless if their processor and coding has selfish tendencies and exploitation than that doesn’t show up no matter what or how they think.

Jazz: Y’know I’ve been thinking after all this… I might actually settle down and have a kid, Y’know?
Sentinel: really? Despite being part of the elite guard?
Jazz: well… yeah, been thinking about it and I keep on getting that parental code pop up every now and then-
Sentinel: parental code??
Jazz: yeah, it’s a thing that pops up every now and then that asks if you want to go through with the parental protocols, sometimes it stays longer like say… 10 seconds.
Sentinel: THATS WHAT THAT THING POPPING UP EVERY TIME IS?!?!!? I thought it was a scam.
Jazz:
Jazz: out of all the things I expected from you, I did not think you getting a parental notification is one of them.

Wow… that’s the longest random headcanon I’ve ever posted.
And yeah as much as I hate that mech with every burning passion in my entire body and soul of my being… I will admit, I can see him being a somewhat decent parent, just not on adoptive terms of parenthood.
But if we’re talking about the sentinel from transformers one… nah, I don’t see it, that mech is so selfish.
Though I do admire the creators that did make him as such in an au where he ain’t a bad person, those ones I kinda like….
