Muahahaha! I'm gonna enjoy reading more into that.
Also, what about simple including beast history in their history? I don't just mean Bantor jokes (although I think it'd be hilarious if he was one of the people who were found out about oppose to just Inferno & Quickstrike), but its presence being noted as part of their earth related history, just like anything else. Things could be different, but the main idea of the current troop not being the 1st Cybertronians to walk the Earth could be a united theme, and they'd pretty much go from there.
