Hot take: the original Bayformers Autobot cast is basically perfect. You need Optimus, right? And you need Bumblebee. How do you round out the cast, if you need five? I don't think you can do any better than Ironhide, Jazz, and Ratchet. They're some of the most iconic Autobots from G1, and they all have a pretty reliable gimmick (the tough guy, the cool guy, the medic).

I'd be perfectly happy with a new Transformers movie with that cast. I guess they have to add Arcee but she's pretty iconic, too, so I don't really mind it.
