The fact that they came from the same source material is what puts them together.chaosmage42 wrote:as ive said i don't think they were originally going to be the same -whats happened is they both are form the same source matterial -the bible of this stuff-
The reason they have their differences is because Hasbro willfully chose to let each party do their own thing with little regard to what others were doing. To Hasbro, "continuity" doesn't mean "making everything fit together neatly", but rather "an avoidance of contradiction". It ought to mean the former, but their lax viewpoint is really the latter.chaosmage42 wrote:and thats why they have enough similaries that morons at the top think they can smash them together but they are different enough that the flaws are obvious.
You do realize that people can change over the course of thousands of years, right? Or do you today act exactly the same way as you did when you were a toddler? I sincerely hope you don't.chaosmage42 wrote:For example the starscream in primes is survila and doesn't directly oppose megatron he tries to steal command. the cybertron starscream actally directly opposes megatron tries to get an army to fight him and even orders his death to his face. Overall their different people.
How do you know Megatron still has Dark Energon inside himself from the games by the time of TF: Prime, huh? How do you know he didn't run out of the stuff after thousands of years had passed?chaosmage42 wrote:Also in the primes premier he is shocked megatron found dark energon and put it into his spark chamber but he already would have had it accourding to the game plus starscream of the game guarded the stuff -i don't think he would be that surprised if it had been used in their war.
And why is it wrong for Starscream to have been surprised that Megatron found Dark Energon in a sector of the universe that had, for all intents and purposes, not been known to contain Dark Energon until then, especially when the last known time they had access to the stuff was before they left Cybertron thousands of years ago?
I'd be surprised too if I found something today that I used to have back when I was 4 if I hadn't seen it since then due to its relative scarcity in this day and age.
"Destroy" =/= "poison". He was gonna physically kill Primus inside the Core. All Megatron did in the game was infect the Core itself, without killing the slumbering Primus inside.chaosmage42 wrote:Also unicron of the primes series was trying to poison cybertrons core with dark energon -thats what megatron did in the game.
Whether they were intended or not is superfluous at this point, since so much more fiction that's been released since has patched up a ton of the continuity issues between the two.chaosmage42 wrote:like i said i just don't think they were originally part of one another and we shouldn't treat them as such -i know there was the beast hunter comic but i still say it doesn't match up with the actual events.
