Imagine getting the opportunity to take the G1 storyline, throw it out the window, and rewrite it to fill in the plot holes and give it a more epic feel. Now, you can only start with a small cast (but build up from there) - 5 Autobots and 5 Decepticons. Who would you pick and why?
- Combiners (like Devastator) have to count the individual bots, not the combined form.
- Anyone pre-movie is available to select, since they all generally spent some time on Earth (with exceptions like Shockwave and the female Autobots).

Autobots 1. Optimus: He is transformers, he has to be there. 2. Grimlock: The tough, not-too-bright, "shoot now, ask questions later" bot; he definitely made things interesting on the show. 3. Bumblebee: For recon/spy missions. 4. Skyfire: the 'bots need some air support, and his background w/ starscream could be brought in. 5. Ironhide: wily old veteran. His background w/ prime could be mentioned as well. Decepticons 1. Megatron: the antithesis of prime, and just as necessary for anything transformers. 2. Soundwave: for communications, one of the most popular g1 characters, and for his mini-army of casseticons. 3. Starscream: tough yet cowardly, a wannabe leader. Definitely makes things interesting for megs. 4. Astrotrain: for transportation, and to try to overthrow megs w/ starscream. 5. Kickback: gotta have an insecticon! His cloning power would be useful. there were some others I almost chose: prowl, jazz, skywarp, t-cracker, blitzwing, omega supreme. It's tough to narrow it down to five core characters for each group.

Autobots
1. Optimus Prime - Because he is the leader and cant be replaced. 2. Ratchet - Some one has to keep them repaired. 3. Bumblebee - To act as a spy. 4. Skyfire - Air support. 5. Omega Supreme - To save as a base and for some major back up.
Decepticons
1. Megatron - Same reason as Optimus. 2. Starscream - To sere as the non-trustworthy 2nd in command. 3. Astrotrain - For space flight and transportation. 4. Skywarp - To serve as Megs trusted soldier. 5. Soundwave - To act as a spy. Plus his 5 tapes will help balance out the Decepticons against Omega.

I am going to just get Prime ands Megs out of the way in the beginning. No need to post a reason for having the 2 leaders.
Autobots 1. Bumblebee- same reason Jarjar was in Star Wars.....the kids love him 2. Iron Hide- evryone loves the old crusty battle vet 3. Prowl- the classic soldier 4. Wheeljack- you could probably find away to make him center of the story
Decepticon 1,2,3 Seakers 4. Soundwave Need I say more
