Just wondering why their ship was carrying all those stasis pods. Why didn't all those maximals have bodies? I don't remember it being explained in the show, besides X's (Rampage).

The Axalon was an exploration craft. The crew members in the stasis pods were there in order to take on completely local body forms for whichever planet the pod was activated on - that would allow the best alternate modes to be chosen for the mission without being restricted by the shape and size of the bot mode.
Optimus, Cheetor, Rattrap, and Rhinox all had to be matched to an alternate mode that would take their current bot modes into account.
And after all that techno-babble, it was just a really cool gimmick .....

Interesting, thanks. Is that from the comic, or do I just not remember it being mentioned on the toon?

It was never mentioned all in one place, just in little bits here and there to explain new plot points. Some of it also wasn't revealed until BM ....
