Oh but they are. You can't just ignore the fact that Ratchet died and give no exsplination for how they were resurected
I know you dont like comic books but their are other G1 characters that died in the 86 movie that have been officaly resurected in the Botcon exclusive comics and those book are offically part of the Beast Wars continuity.
Saber Prime wrote:3. Ratchet died in the movie.
Both G1 Ironhide and G1 Prowl were resurected and became members of the Maximal High Council of elders and along with G1 Silverbolt combine to form form Magnaboss.
This is part of the offical Beast Wars continuity even if it never made it to the toon.
Saber Prime wrote:2. Megatron "died" in the movie and was replaced by/upgraded into Galvatron.
In the G1 toyline Galvatron was turned back into Megatron when he became a Action Master.If the G1 toon had not been canceled the show would have followed suit.
Also G2 also had a Megatron and if they had made a toon instead of repeating the G1 toon they would have had to turn Galvatron back to Megatron again.
Like I said the fact that Ratchet is alive and Megatron is back arent big deals at all if Animated was a contuiation of G1 because these kinds of issues have already been address before.

No one said it was the same "great war" from G1. The clips they used were very generic and only featured 2 characters in robot mode that could be named.
The rest were drones of some alt modes that could be anybody in this serries even if we as old fans could name them.
There's no proof in the "history tapes" to say that Animated is connected to G1.
Saber Prime wrote:Anyway... This version of Optimus Prime did train at Cybertron Acadimy and should have been in Cybertron Elite Guard. My guess is he enrolled wanting to carrey on his grandfather's name (who could quite possibly be the original Optimus Prime) but flunked out and became nothing more than a repair bot.
Nice theroy and it would be cool but there's nothing to back it up.
They made sure not to use any footage that showed G1 Prime in those "history tapes".Which in my opinion show a delibrate effeort from Hasbro to make Animated a different universe.
Most of the G1 footage used from the episode "War Dawn" which is the one where G1 Prime was created.
So if Hasbro wanted Animated to be part of the G1 universe why leave out any and all footage showing ether G1 Prime or Orion Pax?

G1: names,
G1 Names have been used more times then not in serries not connected to G1.
Saber Prime wrote: footage,
Done to bring in the older fans.And in my opinion to start up this very kind of debate in the fandom.
Saber Prime wrote: Megatron's new form (not seen in the series yet) will resemble G1 Megs.
That depends on what you meen when you say "resemble" yeah it may look like his G1 form in color sceme and a few design likennes's but his alt form wont be a gun but I can see your point here.
Saber Prime wrote:Allso many voice actors who haven't been involved with Transformers sence G1 have returned for this series. Some of them are even in their original roles along with some new roles. Cory Burton is now Megatron, and is slated to return as Shockwave in this series. Sound effects and theme song were allso taken from G1.
Again a nod to the older fans and variations of the G1 song has been used in some of the other serries.
Saber Prime wrote:The Decepticons won't be getting their butts kicked in every episode. I think that's been overdone so it's nice the Autobots finally get some other enemys. Maybe some Quintessons will make an apperance?
I hope we do see some quints.

Agreed but I still have a soft spot for the original.
