This is where I will put my character concepts. If you remember, these characters used to be in the Super Smash Bros. Dream project on this wiki. After that project ended, I decided to put all my characters here in an attempt to save space, room, and to cut down on the edit count in the "Recent Changes" section.
This list should not be seen as a "prediction list" of any kind. In fact, I highly doubt most of these characters would ever be added to Smash.

Optimus Prime is the first representative of the Transformers universe to be featured in Smash. His respective voice actors, Peter Cullen and Tesshō Genda, reprise their roles as Optimus Prime.
Attributes
Similar to Ganondorf, Optimus Prime sports slow but incredibly hard-hitting moves. Many of his moves are based off of those seen in various Transformers media. Optimus is a force to be reckoned with, as he is both taller and heavier than even Bowser. However, Optimus is vulnerable to both combos and gimping due to his high weight, extremely fast falling speed, and limited recovery options. On the plus side, the first two of those traits make it difficult for Optimus to be KO'ed vertically.

Hitting back on the control stick will cause Optimus to spin around and swing his trailer at the opponents. This segment of the move is very slow, but has incredible range. After releasing the control stick, Optimus will transform back into robot mode. Can serve as a horizontal recovery move, but in the air, the move functions similarly to Egg Roll in that Optimus will descend quickly and be left in a helpless state. Optimus commonly hits enemies in vehicle mode in the Transformers cartoons, but the trailer swing is based off of an attack in DreamMix TV World Fighters. |

| Final Smash | Roll Out | 10% (initial hit) 40% (remainder of attack) | Optimus yells "Roll out!", transforms into a truck, and drives offscreen. If he fails to hit an opponent, Optimus will reappear where he started the move, and the attack fails. If he hits at least one opponent, a short cutscene will begin, similarly to Captain Falcon's Final Smash, in which Optimus runs over the opponents in vehicle mode, transforms back into robot mode while jumping upwards, fires at the opponents in midair, lands behind the opponents, and fires a few more times. The opponents will be sent flying as the cutscene ends. Opponents not hit by the move will stay in place. After the move, Optimus will fall from the middle of the upper blast line back onto the stage. The attack is based off of an iconic scene in Transformers: The Movie. | |

- The Transformers 9/1984
- Transformers: Devastation 10/2015
- Optimus Prime (Alt.)
- Optimus has some extremely powerful attacks at his disposal. Opponents have to be careful when approaching the Autobot, or else he'll use one of his mighty smash attacks to send them flying! In particular, his forward smash is unique in that it can meteor smash airborne opponents. Try using it against opponents who are over the edge and watch them fall!
- The Transformers 9/1984
- Transformers: Devastation 10/2015
- Roll Out
- Although this move was never given an official name, it has proven to be one of the most famous in Transformers history.

Megatron is the second playable Transformer and first Decepticon in Super Smash Bros. His respective voice actors, Frank Welker and Keiji Fujiwara, reprise their roles as Megatron.
Attributes
Megatron has perhaps the most unique ability in all of the Smash series: the ability to turn into an item with his down special, Transform. In robot form, Megatron is the largest and heaviest character in the game, while in pistol mode, he is the smallest and the lightest. Megatron’s singular traits make him well suited to doubles matches, where he can use Transform and his teammate can then use him as a weapon. Megatron’s strengths include his powerful and effective attacks, while his primary weakness is his large size, which makes him vulnerable to many attacks. Failing to use his pistol mode properly is also a sure-fire way to get KO’ed.

- The Transformers 9/1984
- Transformers: Devastation 10/2015
- Megatron (Alt.)
- Megatron's abilities are unorthodox, even for a Decepticon. Being one of the only Transformers capable of transforming into a gun, the battle is always interesting when Megatron is on the field. As a pistol, his attacks are extremely powerful. Because of his strengths, few ever question Megatron's leadership. Now if only he could keep Starscream under control...

Trivia
- Ironically, Megatron’s series symbol is the Autobot logo, despite him being the leader of the Decepticons.
- Megatron’s crowd cheer is a reference to the scene in Transformers: The Movie where the Decepticons on Cybertron cheer for Galvatron after he takes power.
- Upon being KO'd, Megatron will sometimes yell "Retreat!," a word he uses frequently when he has been defeated or one of his plans has been thwarted.

He may be underhanded and arrogant, but one thing can be said for Starscream - he never gives up!
- The Transformers 9/1984
- Transformers: Devastation 10/2015
- Starscream (Alt.)
- Despite being one of the largest characters, Starscream is among the fastest in midair. But Starscream is also prepared to take out enemies in the skies. For his up smash Starscream fires a large beam - perfect for dispatching airborne foes!
- The Transformers 9/1984
- Transformers: Devastation 10/2015
- Aerial Assault
- Starscream was the pride of the Cybertron War Academy, and he really lives up to that title when it comes to fighting from above.

Trivia
- Like Megatron, Starscream ironically has the Autobot logo as his series symbol, despite being a Decepticon.
- However, this is partly fitting in for Armada Starscream, as that iteration of the character briefly joined the Autobots.
- Unlike most characters, Starscream does not clap at the results screen. Instead, he crosses his arms and has an irritable expression on his face.
