That was an in-joke, not to be taken seriously.

The previously-mentioned retcons came from both Vector Prime himself in the "Ask Vector Prime" segments of the book and in the multiversal newspaper Alternity Today.

There mainly two different kinds of references in these books. Fan nods/in-jokes that act as easter eggs/fanwank and nothing more, and serious information that officially adds into the Transformers (Animated or otherwise) lore.

I think that's a thin and arbitrary line to be drawn. One man's easter egg and fanwank is another man's rage-o-hol.

Yeah, it's kinda tricky to put into actual words. But once one reads into these books, it's not that difficult to tell the difference, knowing, of course, that these books are in full favor of the multiverse and universal stream concepts and are not attempting to fully blend entire worlds together, but rather are giving different worlds similar aspects (like the Unknown Locale having its own floating island and standing stones, instead of those being the same as those seen in Beast Wars).

There was a rumor awhile back on the IDW boards that the company, in the aftermath of the upcoming CHAOS !story arc in TRANSFORMERSthat IDW was looking to mix another Hasbro franchise with the Robots In Disguise. With all the talk of Gorlam Prime in the early issues of the IDW run, and Hearts of Darknessof organics going bio-tech. The Robotixfranchise with the Protectons and Terrakors downloading their minds into machines. They do go with the theme that I mentioned.
