In the G1 cartoon, they left because the planet's energy resources have been depleted. In WFc, they left because the planet had become so corrupted that the Core had to shut itself down in order to begin a long healing process that would last for years upon years.Starscream GaGa wrote:1. Wasn't Dark Energon just to give an actual physical reason to why there was no Energon on Cybertron? Primus/Cybertron's core said he was rebooting Cybertron, which is why they had to find Energon from elsewhere.
In the G1 cartoon, Omega's primary function before going to Earth was being the Guardian Robot of Crystal City. In WFC, his primary function was his being the Omega Key. And, he was an individual, whereas he was but one of many Guardian Robots in the G1 cartoon.Starscream GaGa wrote:2. I don't see why that makes it incompatible, they just gave Omega some more importance and a reason to be in the game.
In the G1 cartoon, Optimus got the Matrix from Alpha Trion. And, Sentinel Prime and Zeta Prime were separate individuals, when they are the same person in WFC. and WFC Sentinel Zeta Prime is one of the few designs who looks nothing like (either of) his G1 counterparts.Starscream GaGa wrote:3. Yes, that doesn't fit very cleanly, I admit, but G1 made changes all the time, the core may have had it because Primus didn't think Sentinel/Zeta was worthy of it, because of his corruption.
In the G1 cartoon, Trypticon was birthed in 2006 on Earth.Starscream GaGa wrote:4. I don't see why that is a stretch? Why can't Trypticon have a space station Cybertronian alt mode?
Well, let me ask this. Was G1 created to be a prequel to Beast Machines? All personal feelings about that series aside, that is.Starscream GaGa wrote:I'm not saying WFC fits perfectly, but I think it really wasn't made to be slapped down as a prequel to Prime, despite what Hasbro says about this silly aligned continuity.
As I've said before, "being inspired by G1" doesn't always equal "being G1".Starscream GaGa wrote:I really think it was meant to be either its own continuity or just a story that they wanted to be in G1 continuity, but still use popular characters, even if it created continuity errors.
Oh, you've read Exodus? Cool. PM me. I wanna show you something.Starscream GaGa wrote:Exodus fits Prime far better, but WFC and Exodus are completely different stories.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
I wonder if he'll be called "Bruticus" or "Bruticus Maximus", since he was specifically called the latter in Exodus.Dead Metal wrote:Guys, lets get back on topic of FOC/Prime Bruticus.

And the Universe/ROTF redeco of the Energon combiner went by that name instead of just "Bruticus". So, I wonder if Hasbro has the name "Bruticus" by itself anymore. If they do, I wonder why they went with "Bruticus Maximus" for the Universe/ROTF figure when they went with just "Superion" instead of "Superion Maximus" for that Universe/ROTF figure.
So, "Bruticus" or "Bruticus Maximus", I wonder which it is for this guy.

What on odd phrase to use in relation to something like this... And completely miss-placed considering this song in particular is the kind of junk the that would suit "kids today" as far as I can tell.metaphorge wrote:You kids today.
They used the name "Vortex" for the Universe/ROTF Bruticus Maximus figure. Brawl was the only one who had his name written as "Decepticon Brawl".vectorA3 wrote:Wait a minute - so I presume Hasbro won or bought the rights back for the name "Vortex"? Because for the movies he was Blackout and I heard they couldn't use Vortex. Somebody has to know this. Btw - a LC Blackout would be killer - they so need to make him. I'd buy.

Brawl, Blast Off, Blackout (if they use it), and... Bruticus? And he wouldn't be on the shelf anyway? Which 4 & 7 Decepticons are you talking about?
And there were 8 Decepticons. Those four, plus Scorponok, Megatron, Starscream, and Frenzy. Not counting all the AllSpark mutations, that is.Volrathicus Baenimus wrote:zodconvoy wrote:Screamfleet wrote:Blackout in the movies was just yet another B name though, as 4 out of the 7 Decepticons had B names.

He meant movie Decepticons. Brawl, Bonecrusher, Barricade, Blackout.

Though, it's Takara who has to use the "Decepticon" prefix for Vortex, as evidenced by their DOTM "Decepticon Vortex".

Ha - thanks. A little bizarre that 'Decepticon Brawl' was used since the first live action movie had a Brawl for the toyline - no adjectives in front. Hasbro are weirdos
