Though, the first mention of Cybertron being back (not restored, but just as the setting of the story again) was in the G-2 story pages. so it was even before Beast wars aired in Japan that Cybertron was mysteriously back again.Cipher wrote:That's interesting. So not even Nucleon Convoy's bio provides a proper description; it really is a retcon from Takara's later timelines.
That must've been strange for Japanese fans who were suddenly thrust into Beast Wars with no explanation for the return of Cybertron. Although I guess the restoration process is just kind of just vague enough for Beast Machines to still happen.
No problem. Though not perfect, I don't think it's that much of a mess. I've got a good enough understanding of it based on this timeline. What's that confusing about it?Cipher wrote:Thanks for clearing that up. I'd been wondering for ages. It's a shame the Japanese continuity is such a mess. Ah well.
