I'm aware of the list being maintained of TFP's MacGuffins created in response to comments in the WTF@TFW PrimeTime podcast regarding all the literal plot-devices that pop up during the series: tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-prime-discussion/661353-list-all-tf-prime-macguffins.html
However, I wanted to address a more specific aspect of the podcast's comments - not just the existence of these devices, but how they and so many other things seem to find their way to Earth. And beyond simply the devices - mostly, but not completely explained as the result of Alpha Trion's actions - how much the events of both Cybertron and the Transformers themselves seem to be wrapped up in a minor little planet a long way away from their home.
As a result, you'll find not just Alpha Trion's jettisoned relics, but also other characters and events that mysteriously involve Earth, including the Earth itself (Unicron) and ancient prophesies involving the alignment of many galactic bodies with Earth as the endpoint (the Covenant of Primus).
Of note, you'll find Airachnid ("Arcee... small universe.") but not Wheeljack, as Wheeljack sought out Earth, while Airachnid's crashland seems to have been conveniently coincidental.
