Will Vector Prime once again declare Alignment canon...only for the human behind him to wuss out on TFwiki?

No, seriously, I love all of Jim Sorenson's work, and I hope Hasbro won't use this opportunity to undo any of it. Just making one teeny exception for a story written without their permission over a decade ago to provide yet another official link between Marvel continuity and Beast Wars won't lead to a slippery slope. Not even if it leads to an official reprint. Pleeeeeease?

(Is there still a PDF of Alignment floating around out there somewhere? I only know of the one that was stored on the late, great, Megaupload)

Oh, maybe VP will give us an in-continuity (cuz we know what happened in the real world) explanation of what destroyed the Dreamwave universes! Or does that already exist?

He did Recordicons last issue, #62.

Was there some announcement that Recordicons would be ending soon?

Also, this isn't back cover stuff. This is like the Tornado Facebook from last year that contained text stories leading up to that year's BotCon comic. These three will likely do the same for this year's comic.

From his twitter account on May 9th: https://twitter.com/damnyouwillis/status/597086311250526209

And now it's official. He's done with TFCC. http://www.shortpacked.com/blog.php?postid=787

I remember doing the Ask Vector Prime stuff when I was a little kid just getting into Transformers during the Cybertron era. I asked Vector Prime something about whether he'd ever fought Brushguard or some crap like that. I didn't get a reply. I vowed to never ask Vector Prime again.

Look at that smug look on his face in that picture. Thinks he's so important. Answer my question you jackass! :evil:

I loved reading ask Vector Prime back in the day. Sure I knew it was fake and nothing major would be revealed but it sure looked like someone at Hasbro was having fun.

Haha this is awesome. I'm sure anyone who got into the franchise with Cybertron is just the right age to enjoy this.

Check out the mirrored image from Collections below, and browse our very own Seibertron.com gallery of the toy right here!

Okay, that can't be the Beast Wars cartoon proper since Sentinel was taken by the Predacons and never installed in the Maximals' seasons 3 base. He would have then been destroyed by Tigerhawk when Tigerhawk blew up the Predacon base. So this has to be another alternate version of it.

What has made its appearance since is a more interactive page, also part of the same initiative for the 2015 event, under the name of Ask Vector Prime! Read on below to find out more about it, and head here to pose your own queries.

Vector Prime, one of our most venerable elders, answers some of your questions as a way to foster better understanding between Cybertronians and humans.

Wow, first we get more entries of this in the Complete AllSpark Almanac book, and now a full fledged Facebook page. Neat!

There is nothing that says anything about an SG Unicron.

Go back to Page 1 of this topic.

Well, since Battletrap comes from Dreamwave G1, it probably still exists.

Yeah I saw that too. It's an old pic, surprised that I never noticed it before. Now I can't take my eyes off of it.

Page 2 of the "Collections" preview comic is up - https://twitter.com/BotCon/status/599272098025054208/photo/1

The third and final page will be up on Monday - https://twitter.com/BotCon/status/599293210238656512

Pete Sinclair has chimed in on the nature of this mini-comic:

The 'Collections' one shot takes place at some point after the Beast Wars. We haven't even defined what Universe this is from. One thing that seems to be the case, as you all know, is Beast Wars exists in many different timelines. This may be another timeline that has similar traits to the G1 toon continuity, Wings continuity or whatever other ones that are floating out there and contains Beast Wars but also contains one of these little stories that are specific to THAT timeline.

And Jesse Wittenrich followed up with:

Yup. And a significant amount of time after the Beast Wars as well. The fighting took place across the entire planet, spreading parts and pieces everywhere. Including the bottom of an ocean *looks at Depth Charge's fin and Rampage's claw*. Packrat has spent a LONG time on his collection; he's picked up everything, not just the pile we see in one panel.

Via fiction aficionado and Seibertronian Sabrblade, we have the second part of BotCon/FunPub's comic 'Collections' (first part was posted here), featuring Packrat (the Thief) and his encounter with Waspinator Thrustinator. You can read it mirrored below, along with some clarification from Pete Sinclair and creator Jesse Wittenrich, via fellow fansite The Allspark.

They might as well just show off the convention exclusives seeing how two of them have already been leaked. Did funpub even aknowledge the green roadbuster and black skids on social media or are they just staying quiet with piss in their pants ?

I could actually see that considering they will have the Combaticon/Aerialbot molds to work with. I hope they do, that way I can mash my 2 FP Bruticus sets together into Energon Bruticus Maximus. Right now I'm using the old one as Nexus Prime.

Wrong thread, X. This is the fiction thread, not the toy reveal thread.

You just posted in something you probably didn't want to.

And what ever happened to the infamous thread merging? I would think everything Botcon 2015 would and should be on one thread. Its not like theres that much of it. And thats the problem. Their marketing strategy is dumb. And im loving all these leaked figures from China. They should take the wake up call seriously and just show off the goods.

This is in the Cartoon and Comics Forum. And this isn't strictly a BotCon 2015 thread either. I'm the one who created this thread, and did so to let it be a general nexus of discussion for all BotCon and TCC related fiction, past and present, as stated on Page 1 of this thread.

And even regardless of that, your post about toys was off topic for the news story you commented on anyway, as the news was about a comic page that had nothing to do with the toys you mentioned.

So please, if you wish to discuss those toys, take it back to the BotCon 2015 Transformers Exclusives Toy Reveals thread and leave it there. :PEACE:
