There are absolutely no irreconcilable contradictions between WFC and Prime. They fit together without any major complications. The Exodus novel helps cement the two together even further, as it tells the same basic story as WFC with further expansions on the WFC story that make it fit in more smoothly with the Prime cartoon.SlyTF1 wrote:Covenant wrote:Sabrblade wrote:We've known about the status of both Sentinel Zeta Prime and Alpha Trion since before this show even began.

Wait, you lost me. How is War for Cybertron back story canon for the Transformers Prime series?
Don't ask. Hasbro is just shoving the idea down people's throats. It makes no sense at all.

No, that's what he's been in other continuities. They have yet to state anywhere in Prime that Unicron is planet sized. all we know about Unicron is that Dark Energon is his blood.
WarzoneBeta wrote:I also have this feeling that an idea I had and wished for them to use is about to become a reality. Unicron might be the creator of Earth and its lifeforms, since he is after all chaos itself and Earth was "Forged" by chaos.
And the conflict may be that Unicron is defending Earth from both Autobots and Decepticons, since he'd view them all as threats to his creations.
Makes sense if read like this;
Organic Life = Evolution = Chaos(Unicron)
Robotic = Built = Order(Primus)
Windsweeper wrote:Anyone else reminded of Unicron's Dark God self in the Marvel comics? The human looking one with the helmet.
If it is Unicron, I hope they further homage the old stuff and have him defeated by Primus' Chosen One: Rodimus Prime. So sick of Mr. Perfect Optimus constantly hogging the limelight.
Prime is the best series since Beast Wars. No Professor Princess, Kicker or Kremzeek crap in this.

Which will probably tie in with the Exiles novel, bringing them further together as well.Mindmaster wrote:Sabrblade wrote:There are absolutely no irreconcilable contradictions between WFC and Prime.

Plus, we got WFC 2 on the road to Fan City, so that will probably cement the 2 continuities together even more.
The two take place millions and millions of years apart. A LOT can change over the course so many eons. Plus, the game's story is pretty bare bones compared to the amount of depth added into it by the novel. Like, the game never even explains how and why Optimus and Megatron know each other and why Megatron blames Optimus for an event that happened between them "so long ago" (as Optimus says in the game), yet the book goes into full detail on that matter.both the book and game came out on the exact same date, so neither take precedence over the other.Covenant wrote:I'm sorry, but having played the crap out of WFC and watched Prime religiously with my son, thats trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. An official book trying to bridge the two is nothing more than a marketing ploy done in yet another media and should be considered a seperate part of the multiverse.

.On to a point though ,if it is Unicron ,why would it seem like he is in a volcano ? I am with maybe the whole Fallen thing ,but who knows the fun is in the wait.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but I never got that feeling. It seemed to me that the volcano was just a symbolic sort of thing. :/ The volcano kind of looks like it has Dark Energon in it, so maybe it's a result of what seemed to be Dark Energon falling from the sky?

Covenant wrote:But the absolute only thing to supposedly connect them is this book. The voices are differing in many, the very style (one clearly War Within meets G1, the other smooth computer animated uniquely different from almost all other TF styles to date) is worlds apart, and a supposed lack of details in a game gives much room for attachment to some existing series. The only thing attempting to tack The Hub's Prime series to a very different and originally intentionally separate game called War For Cybertron is this book. And, as much as I do love a good book, no one should have to do homework to know a backstory on a game or television series to know what's going on. I'd attribute this forced connection to that of Beast Wars and G1. BW gave connection points to both G1 comics and G1 toons. In the end you had fans that followed G1 comics with a BW continuation, G1 toons with a BW continuation, G1 Comics or Toons with no recognized connection to BW, G1 Comics or Toons with no recognized connection to BW but a recognized G1-ish never-told backstory BW, etc, etc. And in a multiverse view, or a seperate continuity entirely view, depending on preference, each has its very real validity in the franchise. As such, in this instance you have War For Cybertron stand alone - Exodus book with WfC events leading to Prime results (its own continuity) - TF: Prime stand alone, and WfC - Exodus expansion - Prime continuation. There are, of course, sub continuities/multiverse realities there, but you get the drift I'm sure.
