Ok, I'll bite too. I would think, story wise, it would work better if, like in Animated, the deep cover Decepticons were there in created new Autobot personas in order to be able to control certain key aspects of Autobot operations. Shockwave was posing as Longarm in order to control the Autobot Intelligence. Megatron I think would be too high profile in Decepticon command to go deep cover like that. I got the impression in Animated that Shockwave had created Longarm and signed up for Autoboot camp in order to go through the ranks from scratch. I did not get the impression that he had replaced an existing Autobot by the name of Longarm. So with all of that, here's my suggestions.
Longarm/Shockwave: Sabotage Autobot intel.
Star/Wingsaber/Starscream: Sabotage Autobot air support.
Swindle/Detritus: Quartermaster. Sabotage Autobot supply.
Barricade/???: Dirty Autobot cop.
Ravage/Nightstalker: Sabotage Autobot secret service.
That's all I've got for now, I'll probably come up with other stuff later (like a decent name for Barricade's Autobot persona).
As for Marvel 616, things get even more muddied when you consider the fact that the early issues of Marvel G1 crossed over to 616 and that the Avengers crossover crossed IDW Transformers into the 616. So, yeah, two separated TF continuities are technically part of the 616. Enjoy.
