Actually, that's not as far fetched as it may first appear. This would also help explain Laserbeak's appearance as a bird. If Soundwave has been collecting info. from prehistoric Earth then this is entirely possible. I can't wait to see how they work this in!

Greeeaaat! Yet another continuity to further confuse and perplex the mass TF fandom. You have to admit, us Transfans have one drawback that other franchises don't suffer from as much...a complex fanbase with a varying opinion of what is actual cannon etc. I for one wish all the time that we had one solid unified backstory and mythology. God, why couldn't Hasbro had gotten this down better back in '84 instead of splitting up the writers between the comic and cartoon universe. We got off on the wrong foot from the start and confusion has reigned supreme...LOL, I know it's just a kids toy but it's been 30 years now damn it and I'm craving some dang consistancy for a change.
Sorry for the negativity, here's hoping this game will be awsome and worth the wait. Yay Grimlock!!!!

But then it wouldn't be Transformers without inconsistencies.

Jizzed in my pants.

Since ya'll are on a Grimmlock kick:

"The Tortured Warrior

WHile there are plenty of compelling story elements surrounding Fall of Cybertron, few characters or situations have as much potential as the reintroduction of Grimlock and his Dinobots into the Transformers canon.

Grimlock is one of the most dangerous warrios in the Autobot faction, with power that rivals even Optimus Prime and Megatron. But that doesn't mean he agrees with all his leader's decisions. Disgusted with Prime's decision to abandon their home planet, Grimlock abandons his post and disappears. His powerful strike force is lost, along with all the good they could do on the battlefield.

His fate is a gruesome one. The calculating scientist Shockwave captures the Autobot warrior and his crew, and experiments on them using data gathered from a far off planet called Earth- a world still in its infancy, populated by hulking reptilian beasts. With plans to turn them into insanely powerful slave warriors, Shockwave alters Grimlock and his fellow soldiers to match these powerful forms, in some cases sacrificing higher functioning for brute power. In Grimlock's case, his speech processing has suffered the worst, masking his keen intellect behind an idiot's words.

Starsscream discovers Grimlcok chained within Shockwave's lair, and decides to recruit him. The Autobot insterad uses the opportunity to escape, brutalizing Starscream in the process, and heading off in search of his companions. As he tears through Shockwave's minions he wields a massive sword and shield. His style of gameplay is dramatically differentfrom playable characters elsewhere in the game. If he wants a ranged weapon, it comes by picking up an enemy robot and flinging it. Grimlock is also the only character that can't transform at will; each enemy he kills fuels his rage, until at last Shockwave's full alterations take over. Grimlock's hulking metallic body begins to shift and twist, and a roaring Tyrannasaurus Rex emerges. The beast breathes fire at Shockwaves swarming insecticon minions. He bites one of them clean in half. His tail and feet smash any creature that comes near. Grimlock hasw become part of what Shockwave desired- an unstoppable engine of destruction- but he's not under anyone's control."

So Grimlock=Incredible Hulk with a T-Rex mode, I suppose.

that doesn't match with what we were told of Grimlock in his two HoF bios. In those, it said that his voice was damaged during a fight with Scorponok, making him speak like an idiot despite his normal intelligence.

Well, looks like they are altering it again, according to Game Informer. This does make for interseting possibilities though. Since WFC and FOC are canon for TF Prime, it leaves open the possibility of seeing the Dinobots down the road in the show. Will it happen? Who knows...but the mind boggles.

Yeah, but this is out of the new Gameinformer talking about FoC. I've read it myself

Yes. It will. SDCC said so. - http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=78952&hilit=+villain#p1264095

Oh, I don't doubt its legitimacy. I'm just puzzled by why they're ignoring the Scorponok bit.

Was the Scorponok bit specifically mentioned for the new TF Prime-i-verse? Or was that only from the comics continuity? I know they haven't mentioned or intruduced Scorponok in the Prime series yet so perhaps his role is different in the new Notebook.

Once again Sabrblade shows that he has a special group of brain cells dedicated exclusively to TF trivia. I forgot that SDCC bit. Then again, my memory does not work as well when I'm sober...

Me Mindmaster confused as hell with him Grimlock's back story.

From what I've read in Gameinformer. Shockwave discovered dinosaurs on Earth from looking through telescopes and stuff and captured Grimlocks team to give them the dino modes and stuff as experiments

wigglez323 wrote:From what I've read in Gameinformer. Shockwave discovered dinosaurs on Earth from looking through telescopes and stuff and captured Grimlocks team to give them the dino modes and stuff as experiments

Well, now we have another theory as to how the dinosaurs went extinct.

SHUT UP THIRD GRIMLOCK! ONLY FIRST ME GRIMLOCK IS BEST!

ya all jokes aside i was really taken by surprise that *spoiler alert?* WFC and FOC are actually the same universe as tf:prime.
i finally believed this when i saw the 26th episode on yt.
and i personally only care a little of how grimlock gets a dinosaur mode. though i like the theory that shockwave looks through a telescope to get the modes.
and as much as i have been endorsing the fact that dinobots are now going to be part of FOC

I'm more happy about us being in it FOC than the dinobots dinobots
i mean come on i wanna see me in FOC more than retarded Grimlock Grimlock

It comes from Grimlock's first Hall of Fame bio from 2010, which, like all other TF Hall of Fame bios (except for Dinobot, Waspinator, and possibly Erector), refer to the Aligned version of the characters.

GRIMLOCK fought his way through the gladiatorial pits underneath Kaon to become one of the greatest warriors on CYBERTRON. Having joined the AUTOBOTS early on during the Great War, GRIMLOCK made it clear he never trusted OPTIMUS PRIME to properly lead the AUTOBOTS. Due to his shock and awe approach to combat, GRIMLOCK is not regarded as a great military leader. However, he has fought and survived through enough battles to earn top ranking position among the AUTOBOTS. Having struck out on his own, GRIMLOCK eventually found himself leader of the DINOBOTS, a special operations strike force unit that can power through most barricades and DECEPTICON strongholds. During a battle with the DECEPTICON SCORPONOK, GRIMLOCK’s vocal processors were damaged, leading to his awkward and distinct way of speaking. If GRIMLOCK has a weakness, it is his larger than Prime ego and his lack of patience.

I don't think it's a theory. I think this info comes from Game Informer itself.

My man Grimlock stay bossin

erm, regarding the dinosaurs on Cybertron debate, isn't it therefore equivalently illogical that all Transformers have a humanoid form..? No? no

kriksix wrote:erm, regarding the dinosaurs on Cybertron debate, isn't it therefore equivalently illogical that all Transformers have a humanoid form..? No? no

Or any form whose design stems from Earth?

I guess that means that the only proper form for a pre-Earth Cybertronian would be one that is incomprehensible to Earthlings.

kriksix wrote:erm, regarding the dinosaurs on Cybertron debate, isn't it therefore equivalently illogical that all Transformers have a humanoid form..? No? no

Well that would have to go with a bunch of shows about aliens. It is likely that they could've just been a race of cars and jets. But this happens before human civilization. So ask your self, where'd they get the design of cars and jets too?

indeedy

But as a youth oriented fantasy fiction loving human, I'm happy enough with humanoid, vehicular, dinosaur, toaster, wotevs (as long as they are metallic and transform)

So, why anyone with the magazine in-hand hasn't relayed this info yet, I don't know, but here I come to save the day!

From Game Informer:
"The calculating scientist Shockwave captures the Autobot warrior and his crew, and experiments on them using data gathered from a far off planet called Earth - a world still in it's infancy, populated by hulking reptilian beasts."

So, there you go. That's why there are Dinos on Cybertron.

Another bit in the mag that I'm surprised no one has mentioned (maybe it's the wrong thread/forum?)

Again, credit to Game Informer Magazine:
"Fall of Cybertron (FOS) is part of a new inititive to codify and begin anew with the Transformers fiction. Over the course of numerous cartoons, comics, toy lines, and movies Transformers had become a mess of continuities and concepts. Moving forward Hasbro wants to bring meaning to the chaos. While FOS draws deep from the well of old stories and characters, it's part of a new and definitive approach to the characters and thier universe for the coming years.Consequently, the events depicted in FOC and it's predicessor occur in the same universe as the related novels, and episodes of Transformers: Prime, the CG cartoon currently airing it's first season. This is the new official cannon of the Transformers."

Hasbro's Aaron Archer goes on to talk about how they've re-invented the Transformers every couple years, and they don't want to do that anymore. The game "tells the opening parts of that tale."

So not only are the games official cannon, but we aren't going to be seeing reboots every couple years. Awesome(IMHO).
