My guess is that they at first don't feel like there is any real reason to explain them, and only do so in some episodes later after the fandom makes enough of a fuss about the laws of physics and such.Cipher wrote:I can't decide if it's cute or sad that Prime feels it has to explain logical gaffes many, many episodes after they first occur (Fowler's lack of a flight suit, how the Phase-Shifter works with the ground, etc).
Didn't look like he was fooling him to me. Looked more like the last of the Red Energon was just beginning to wear off before it was all gone right there after. Starscream would have heard his dialogue stretched out like so going in faster than normal speed.BeastProwl wrote:I love how Optimus fooled Starscream with his slomo talk.

G1 Smoketreader wrote:RE: Smokescreen as Dinobot:
Here, your responses were even more insightful, but I see a 'code of Hero' in this Smokescreen.It's his OWN code of hero, which he has to learn to decipher properly in the school of Hard Knocks, as Arcee points out to him in said episode, or get jumped by the harsh reality of it in the end.
Like Dinobot, Smokescreen is in danger of finding out at the last minute that his destiny is not how he imagines it, but how he has heard about it from those with similar destinies;
His variation right now is that he will become Smokescreen the Great.The 'choice of Dinobot' he doesn't see is simple: Die for the Autobot cause, or survive to die next time.

Okay. Look.
Give me at least 3 valid reasons we should consider Prime, or the Aligned continuity itself, a rewrite of G1, aside from a bucket-full of homages.

From the second there is a group named Generation one INSIDE one single, official ongoing continuity, that is an official rewrite of the particular group called Generation one.

I can only guess that he thinks of "Prime" as the whole continuity (which he refers to as a "series") instead of just the cartoon. And that becuase WFC/FOC are part of that continuity, he might be thinking G1 is too due to the misnomer of those games being G1 prequels.Shadowman wrote:G1 Smoketreader wrote:The rewrite of G1 is INSIDE Prime, not PRIME inside of a rewrite of G1.I believe you're reading me wrong.

What does that even mean? That makes absolutely no sense, at all. Hasbro said Aligned is a new continuity, not a rewrite of G1...or a new series, and the rewrite of G1 is inside the series...or the series--What are you talking about?!
My guess about this is that he might think that this new timeline is a means tocombine all previous series into one, which is why I said what you quoted below.Shadowman wrote:G1 Smoketreader wrote:Don't ask for 3 reasons- there is only one: This (the married continuity family timeline) is the official moving forward of everything put in it.
I'm starting to think you're just ignoring us so you can pretend your fan continuity is actually official. Hasbro never once said G1 was related to Aligned, at all. You're just assuming things that have been conclusively proven wrong, you just don't want to listen.
Short answer: Don't.Shadowman wrote:Sabrblade wrote:For the record, this new timeline is NOT a means to combine every existing piece of Transformers fiction from 1984-today into one timeline, as some confusingly think it is.
Trying to combine G1 with the Unicron Trilogy with Animated with the Movies with Aligned just makes my head hurt.

Um, no. That is not what I said. Keywords being "OTHER worlds and DIMENSIONS".Bubbah wrote:Sabrblade wrote:...Unless Hasbro ever makes a mainstream cartoon that outright acknowledges the multiverse to a similar extent to the Fun Pub comics.

haha ... Now my head is starting to hurt! That would be as bad as trying have all of the Marvel Universe (not the old school TF series but the Avengers, Xmen, Spiderman, etc) make sense. Beast Wars did good with working with G1, but I can only imagine the nightmare that would take place trying to tie in everything over the last 30 years together.
