Ah...that sudden realisation that Earthspark could, despite being cute as heck, well turn out to be the darkest Transformers cartoon yet.

Megatron has be shadowplayed by Ghost, but doesn't realise it. In fact he probably thinks teaming up with the Autobots was his idea, but it wasn't.
Optimus not only knew about that, but he went along with it because he was desperate to end the war. I mean, it'd clearly gotten spectacularly nasty. Bee mentions starving bots, Soundwave being in such a bad way that one of his cassettes exploded when he tried to eject it. That's pretty damn grim, but who said only the Decepticons were effected like that. How many bots died, and what did Optimus really sacrifice to win the war?
OR
Both Megatron and Optimus have been shadowplayed and neither know it. Optimus as an attempt to control the Autobots and Megatron as an attempt to bring the Decepticons to heel. The latter didn't work, so they've resorted to capturing the Decepticons instead, with the intent of shadowplaying them all. Why? Potentially as a puppet army to use in defence against other Cybertronians...or just against them in general.
Starscream knows what's really going on, but when he tries to tell everyone nobody believes him. Because it's Starscream.
Anyone else think the arachnamechs look a bit like Quints? Just me?
Okay, the spacebridge is down, but there's no way the Autobots would just leave Optimus and the others there, surely? They have space travel tech, why haven't they sent a rescue party? Same with the Decepticons.
Oh, and my last fan theory? IF ANY CARTOON IS GOING TO GIVE US THE DJD THEN IT'S THIS ONE.
