First all why don't we see the kids in school. Alexis one of the best humans because she's lives a normal life, but helps by using tech, and not being a Nerd Like a Ralph in Transformers Prime. Adult Alexis is my Type. Another Problem Hot Shot was going to be Bumblebee because he's Yellow and Black-Water, and Hot Shot gets G1 Hot Rod's colors as a paint job because he's called Hot Rod in japan. Hot Shot even has the same role of a kid becoming leader like G1 Hot Rod because he's named Hot Rod in the Sub. I do like how Optimus akaConvoy, and Megatron are equally corrupt like real world leaders. Just because world leaders have a good motivation like Optimus doesn't mean there power hungry like Optimus. I like how we see that Optimus is just a corrupt.

I like how Hot Shot Aka Hot Rod Aka Bumblebee was envious and left his best Autobot friend Wheeljack friend to die to become a war hero because all war heros aren't good, or evil.

I don't get why Wheeljack whos based on G1 side is called Wheeljack in the Dub, and Rampage in Japan. No what I do get it because he's called Carwheeljack in some dubs, and Rampage because Rampage was a good Maximal Aka Autobot Aka Cybertron who became Predacon Aka Decepticon Aka Destron in Beast Wars.

Unlike Beast Wars Rampage who was created evil Micron Densetsu Aka Aramada Rampage was betrayed by 1 member of his military faction, went awal, and betray his whole faction as child soilder.

I like hw Wheeljack is Jelious of Hot Shot's new best friend Sideswipe, and tries to kill Sideswipe in order to prevent Sideswipe being betrayed by Hot Shot by Sideswipe in order for Sideswipe to join the Decepticons.

Sideswipe is called Stepper Aka Ricochet in the Sub who is a repaint of Jazz which explains why Sideswipe looks Jazz and Stepper.

Why would Stepper be called Sideswipe in the Dub if he's doesn't Sideswipe people.

I do like Wheeljack's Labo mode which is like G1 Sideswipes, and Sideswipe's Drift Car Nissan mode like Night Bird in Rise Of Beasts, and Drift in the comics.
