Just recieved this mon'th's gameinformer, and the featured article if FOC.

We have Vortex, Grimlock, Megatron, Optimus, Cliffjumper, and Jazz shown.

Aside from OP, Grimlock, and CJ, does anyone else look different from WFC?

Megatron is VERY different. Will get a pic soon.

Hell, I'll do it now.

Sounds cool.

Agreed, thats what I pretty much thought when I heard about it being linked to TF Prime. I dont know why they couldn't just let it be its own thing. It would have allowed them to make another seperate toy line. They probably think kids might get confused. I think they underestimate children..
I think that's where the main confusion is coming from because, even though we're being told the game is not G1 continuity, I think it's obvious enough that it was originally meant to be.

Aside from the homages to G1, what surefire evidence do we have to say that it was originally intended to be a G1 game, exactly?

All the interview videos with Tieger about WFC

Lemme see.

Yeah, they said it was based on/around G1

Like I said, show me. I want to see them.

You can't look things up yourself?

It says they used it as a basis, not that it's set in G1. All TF series use G1 as a basis.

At Toy Fair 2010, two months before that, Hasbro reps said WfC was part of TF:P's continuity.

We've found proof. And you still deny it. Whatever, that doesn't matter. What matters is this game is going to be better than WFC. I'm starting to say that it doesn't matter what cartoon the game belongs to. This is just what happens before they came to Earth.

Hasbro denied it months before any of those clips.

This post may contain Transformers: Prime spoilers, so don't read any further if you don't want them to be spoiled. Also, I dunno how to black out my text so yeah.
















In TF: Prime, they say that Megatron was a Gladiator and that Optimus admired him for his revolutionist thinking, and that Optimus was chosen to be Prime over Megatron. But none of that is mentioned in War For Cybertron. If they're trying to tie the continuities together, then they're leaving a few holes in the story. I understand that it can't be perfect, but I'm just nit-picky I guess.
