Dead Metal wrote:But if you insist on Prime having to reference everything the exact same as the way it was done in WFC, then please point out to me where the G1 cartoon, bios, comics and story books mention the following:
- Dark Energon
- Omega Supreme being the key to the core of Cybertron
- The core of Cybertron giving Optimus Prime the Matrix
- Trypticon being a space station during the great war
- The transformers combining with turrets
- Every Transformer having the ability to turn their arms into weapons
- The Aerialbots existing during the Great War
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.
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.
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.
4. I don't see why that is a stretch? Why can't Trypticon have a space station Cybertronian alt mode?
5-6. They're aesthetic things more than anything, inspired by the movies.
7. Yeah, I admit that doesn't work.
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. 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.
Exodus fits Prime far better, but WFC and Exodus are completely different stories.
