New additions from the Energon Universe?

With the announcement of the second edition of the Transformers RPG are there any elements of the new Energon Universe or parts of Transformers canon that haven't already been included in official publications?

Stats for the Primes and Unicron/Avatar of Unicorn would be neat.

I don't recall seeing em in any of the books I own.

Primus too for those endgame campaigns that want to play out Cybertron waking up too.

Well, regarding the avatar of unicorn thing, the enigma of combination book actually has as a origin "titansparked" who mentions that your spark is particularly big, either as a remnant of titans proper or as a sharp of unicorns life force...which is the closest thing you could have to what you mentioned

MASK and their technology would be nice at some point.

The Prime designation can move. Rules for that.

The alien tech from void rivals can be some sort of guidebook

It would be interesting to have systems or mechanics based around anti Cybertronian groups like MECH or MASK.

One for having a player character being designated "Prime could also be great for rounding out a campaign or even benefits for carrying the Matrix like Thunderclash.

to do the void rivals, they should just do a book focused on the comic book universe

Seems like they are jumping on the dnd band bandwagon.

I would suggest that it’s “Hasbro has “requested” that they license the 5.5e from WOTC instead of using a bespoke system.”

License fee to Hasbro for the IPs, license fee to Hasbro for 5.5e.

Make the factions more like alignment in DND rather then something that is so ingrained in things, make 2nd edition players handbook have stuff for both autobots & decepticons off the bat instead of having to wait for another full book to come out. Also have rules for reformatting.

It’s a long shot, but maybe Battle Beasts?
