IDW's Beast Wars comic ended on an extremely rushed and abrupt note due to their loss of the Transformers license.
The editors' note at the end of the final issue goes into detail on the many, many aborted plot threads the writers wanted to follow up on. (2022)
255
the 2019 IDW TF comic ends with the Autobots all leaving Cybertron to fight another day, which leaves Megatron in control (albeit it being a pyrrhic victory for him).
This effectively makes this one of the few TF continuities that ends with the Decepticons winning. (2022)
256
A proposed BotCon concept by Fun Publications was a redeco of Transmetal Rattrap into a beast form of Generation 1 Rodimus Prime, named "Rodimouse", to match Optimus Primal and Ultra Mammoth as being Maximal archetypes of Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus. (2014)
257
the combined form of two Powerlinx Energon Optimus Primes. (2004)
258
the regular Voyager-sized figure of Cybertron Starscream was never released by Hasbro, due to them wanting to push the larger Supreme-sized Starscream instead. (2005)

In early episodes of Beast Wars, Scorponok's missiles had Maximal symbols on them, the equivalent to carving an enemy's name on your bullets. Many viewers failed to pick up on this though, and they were promptly replaced with Predacon faction symbols to avoid confusion. (1996)

despite being used only once in the G1 cartoon, G1 Optimus and Megatron's energy axe and mace accessories are very popular pack-in weapons, especially in Japanese figures.
This can be attributed to how that scene was prominently featured in the JPN opening for the cartoon.
265
the G1 cartoon episode "Five Faces Of Darkness" implied a connection between Blitzwing and the Quintessons that was never expanded upon. (1986)
Animated would coincidentally give Blitzwing the same face-swapping shtick as the G1 Quintessons. (2008)

Cosmos is absolutely freaking gigantic in MTMTE. (2013)

in the Transformers/Ghostbusters comic, Megatron rematerializes in a new body based on how he would have appeared in the cancelled Transformers Universe MMORPG.
(geddit, cos a ghost turns into a design from a dead video game?)
(2019)
272
in Beast Machines, the character Savage/Noble is revealed to actually be Megatron in another body.
While it's clear that's where his dragon half comes from, it remains unexplained to this day where his wolf half came from. (2000)
273
the Allspark Almanac 2 officially declared that those weird transforming kids from the G1 commercials were "Reverse Pretenders"
