The new Scroll crafting rules are great, but could I, say, craft a scroll of fireball but have it trasnmuted to be a Scroll of Thunderball or Ice bomb? My new character has fire spells but will only cast them transmuted to ice or thunder for lore reasons and I think this would be a great way to further express my background.
There are no rules, as far as I can tell, with adding MM options to a scroll. RAW, I'd say it's not allowed, and I think you can use your MM when you use the scroll itself. But then, this is a perfect situation for "talk to your DM". An option I can think of off the top of my head: Maybe it drains you of the needed Sorcery Points for a number of days after you've completed the scroll equal to the number of days it took to make it?
I'd probably allow it provisionally with the right reserved to change my mind if an unexpected problem arose from it.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.
Transmuted Spell doesn't work by changing the spell itself. It only alters the damage type caused by the spell and it is achieved by expending a sorcery point at the time of casting.
I don't believe the rules will allow you to achieve what you are suggesting; the crafted scroll would have to a spell for Fireball as written in the rules. Your character can still spend a sorcery point when casting the spell from a scroll to convert the damage type. However, any other character using this crafted scroll would have to cast the Fireball spell.
I don't think I'd let you make a ice ball scroll as you are pre spending the metamagic in downtime a resource that is balance by a per day usage, but when you cast the spell from the scroll I would let you use metamagic to modify it. I'd allow the same from wands, staves etc, any device where you are casting a spell from it I treat as the caster casting the spell including being able to use metamagic on it.
Edit to add, I kind of feel this would be a good opportunity for spell creation which i have not read up on in the DMG. But if a sorcerer is lighting dude, I'd let them spend the downtime to invent a lightening ball spell, static energy cloud instead of incendiary etc. And then sure, make a scroll of that.

I for one would let you do this.
I spell Goodly.
