Okay, I can't sleep (again) so I'm rewatching the last two eps of Earthspark and... hmm. There was this one theory submitted on my Earthspark blog that seemed pretty interesting, and suddenly it makes a lot of sense.
Ehh, this got long... also, spoilers ahead for future episodes.
So, the Maltos have the Emberstone, and then it's teleported away and stolen by Skywarp. (she is so pretty-)
So now she's got the Emberstone, and she holds it as she negotiates with the Maltos.
And then, suddenly, it starts to glow in her hand, and there's a voice.
Evolution of Hope.
She's... super confused by this. And distracted.
So Thrash throws his wheel thing to knock the Emberstone out of Skywarp's hands, then Twitch flies up and grabs it and returns it to Mo.
But the Emberstone stops glowing pretty quickly after Skywarp isn't touching it anymore. It glows for a second after Twitch grabs it, but it stops before it's even passed on to Mo. It doesn't start glowing again until Robby and Mo ask Quintus Prime for help, and then it creates Nightshade, Hashtag, and Jawbreaker.
But wait. Three new Terrans? That's a little bit weird, considering how Twitch and Thrash were born specifically connected to the two young humans that were touching the Emberstone. And, well, maybe the numbers don't matter, or Quintus decided they needed extra help, but...
What if Skywarp touching the Emberstone made it create a new Terran connected to her? Specifically... Nightshade.
Nightshade's the only one to announce their own name rather than have Mo or Robby say it for them, and they seem to be the first born in the cave-- at least, they're the first one shown. They do have a connection to Robby and Mo, because of the pronouns scene, but there's a theory that they might also be linked to Skywarp.
The synopsis for episode 13 says that "they (Nightshade) find a new connection in the most unlikely of places". Just saying... *shrugs*
All right, NEW NEW CHALLENGE!!

Oooooo you want to support the combaticons by keyan Carlisle so bad, I know you want to you stinky boy;33
I've seen a lot of people saying that an adult iteration of Transformers wouldn't work, because "oh look at Bayverse and the Netflix series" and like. Yeah they fucking SUCKED but that's not necessarily because they were more mature.
You can make a mature Transformers show without racist jokes and the word "balls" every 5 seconds and tons of death, that's not what makes something a mature story.
Ideally, the show would be able to walkthe line between funny and lighthearted and tragic. That's what the franchise has always been. You have all these fun characters and goofy dialogue and interactions and standalone episodes with weird premises, but underneath all that, there's this story about trauma and revenge and how much suffering war brings on. You get that even in G1 if you think about it for a moment. The Autobots and Decepticons have been stranded on Earth, in stasis, for millions of years and left everyone on Cybertron to fend for themselves, not knowing what happened to their leaders and loved ones. That's fucked up.
This is one of the few areas in which I think TFP succeeded. It managed to be both relatively funny and lighthearted but also show the horrors of War. And it didn't do either perfectly, there are a lot of issues with it, but it still managed to mix the two at least decently.
I feel like if you're gonna make a transformers show that's for adults, it should retain the humor and lighthearted nature and the weird B-plots about the human allies trying to sneak into a museum or the mecha learning about Christmas or whatever, because that's a big part of the franchise, and the mature themes should work with that, not be the first priority.

Yo, Transformers fandom! I gotta question! Reblog and tell us your favorite design style for the bots. Etc: TFA, TFP, MTMTE…
One loves to tell stories, the other loves to listen. Sounds like a match made in heaven to me~
