#rid rewrite

Yes!!! I always love rambling about it :)

quick thing, I say RID 2015 rewrite but i'm only really rewriting seasons 3-4 because I was unhappy with how they handled the decepticon trio, id totally rewrite the entire thing but at that point it'd just be a completely different show lol (also this isn't to hate on RID I just wish shockwave was in it 💔) long yap ahead be warned...

ALRIGHT SO that being said, my idea is basically just giving starscream and soundwave more screen time AND adding shockwave because why wasn't he in RID!!! he was so cool in TFP :( and getting rid of the minicon plot lines that they both had, Ive never really been a fan of how RID (possibly other shows?) handles minicons because, like, why are they all accessories or tools for bigger bots?? I don't really understand it.. but this whole thing is still very early in the thought development so I might add back the minicons but just not have them be tools or such? I dunno

but anyway onto Season 3 plot!! Instead of just starscream being the main villain of season 3, we bring back shockwave! huzzah! they basically come back to earth for the purpose of getting resources or such so they can revive the decepticons fully (with starscream as leader of course!.. and shockwave..) but find bee's team and they become a dent in their plan, shenanigans ensue with bee team often stopping them from getting what they want, yknow, classic stuff.

I think it'd be cool to keep starscream getting the dark saber but he finds it for the finale n that's the big thing for the end, maybe shockwaves able to do science stuf and make it power up their ship or maybe they just use the sword as a sword (shocker) I dunno! I do know that of course they still get defeated at the end and sent to Cybertron jail ig. there's a lot I could talk about like how I wanna bring back knock out in this season or smokescreen or how I really want the rescue bots to show up (missed opportunity btw) but I don't wanna make this too long 💀 I still gotta talk about season 4...

speaking of :p onto season 4! my biggest problem with this season was the disrespect towards soundwave! they spend like 10 episodes building up his return only for him to show for one (1) episode and basically be killed off!! noooo!!! D: I was really expecting him to be the main villain for this season so.. that's what I did :') he still has a long build up but since I got rid of the minicons, he can't open the portal! so how does he get out?... im not sure 😓 but he's soundwave so I think maybe he was able to mess with the bee team's portal (by sound waves or something I guess?) justtt enough to send lazerbeak through. of course I could just make it he immediately gets out but uhh nah

(also I should probably mention, you guys know that one fire soundwave episode in season 2? where he escapes the shadowzone but then gets thrown back into it at the end? yeah im moving that episode to season 4 as his first entrance and im changing things slightly.)

the bee team, of course for plot, didn't see lazerbeak and they just think it was a strange portal mishap, bee is a little suspicious tho.. throughout the first, let's say, 10? episodes we have fun goofy times but also weird stuff keeps happening at the base, radios play strange sounds, the portal keeps sparking and stuff keeps getting pushed or moved.. like there's a ghost! and bumblebee swears he keeps seeing lazerbeak! but no one else does so who's to say it was real?.. y'know, until soundwave comes out of their portal after lazerbeak was able to sneak in when no one was around! his goal is still to get a signal out to Megatron and unlike the original episode, he actually gets the signal out! but it doesn't go to Megatron.. it goes to starscream and shockwave! who's still in jail lol but to the bee team it looks like they were able to break the machine right in time (they weren't) and instead of soundwave getting thrown back into the shadow zone, seeing he got the signal out, he instead flies away (he's still a jet in this idc) and goes to an abandoned decepticon mine to refuel and set up a temporary base.

next few episodes we get different povs of the bots on earth dealing with soundwave and the bots on cybertron dealing with starscream and shockwave escaping and causing chaos on cybertron before using the portals to teleport back to earth. they basically blow up anything they think would cause the Autobots to stop them (comms tower, any ships they could find, space bridge building (after they use it), etc). so later season 4 deals with all the decepticon trio and no cybertron help till the finale. I might've kept the whole cybertron mind controlled plot line in the original show but I really wanted soundwave to be the main villain (plus shockwave and starscream..cough.. they're not as big of plot relevance as soundwave I promise!! trust!!) and of course the rescue bots are gonna come help because I said so! I want blades and bumblebee to interact again..

at the end they ofc have to be defeated and ig they're sent to jail or something, maybe they all flee at the end and they live happily on a different planet together /j this was really decepticon heavy but those were the major changes I did, so its what I focused on (not because im biased...of course!... cough.) but there is sooo much more I could talk about, I could get into the relationships n bonds of certain characters, I could talk about fight scenes or designs or go more in depth with the plot or I guesss the Autobots/bee team 🙄 /silly (I love the bee team guys I swear)

WORST TIME OF MY LIFE I HATE THAT SHOW

anyway, hopefully I can scrap together the two first chapters off of that.
