No worries, man. It's a unique direction Hasbro going with the Hot Shot and Rodimus character roles belonging to the same person. ;)

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:But despite that, I have to thank you on one thing - You made me be interested in Hasbro's part of this continuity. I generally lost interest due to the conflicts, but seeing how they can do numerous variations of the same timeline... I now see it in the same tradition as how Alternity was handled. :-?
Now I'm confused. :lol: How's it like Alternity?

Alternity was a series that tied into the entire Universal stream. For example, the Guardian named Elita-One (who was once Arcee/Ariel) is a Guardian from the Micron Dentsu timestream (Aurex 103.10 Alpha), and yet Cliffjumper came from 903.0 (G1/Binaltech). Just a sample, is all. :grin:

LINK: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Universal_cluster

But in all cases, the Aligned continuity has yet to receive its own Universal stream. And from the way I see it, they can do the following time streams:

- -1.0 A Shattered Glass version of the Aligned continuity.
- 0.0 The official "Bible" tied to all of the Aligned continuity.
- 1.0 The War For Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron game series.
- 2.0 The Robot Heroes and Prime
- 3.0 The "Exodus" novel series (I am hoping this creates a sequel).
- 4.0 The IDW comics tied to Cybertron games.
- 5.0 The IDW comics tied to the PRIME comic series.
- 6.0 The spin-off games that do not connect to Cybertron.
- 7.0 The spin-off games that do not connect to Prime.
- 8.0 Other comics and/or stories that have continuity errors, but can be tied together.
- 9.0 The Cyberverse toyline.
- 10.0 Takara Tomy's Arms Microns Universe.

Whew... But yeah, this is how they sorted out the Generation 1/Primax Universal stream in hopes of sorting out series and placing continuity errors into their timeline. :michaelbay: And at the same time... The omission of Takara Tomy's versions of a few series have me wonder if the listing is 100% complete. :???:

Believe me, all this I already know.

Though, it's Elita Seven, not Elita One. ;)

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:But in all cases, the Aligned continuity has yet to receive its own Universal stream.
There's a reason for that. It's because that, unlike every other continuity to come before it, the Aligned continuity isn't part of the established Transformers Mulitverse, as it lies outside of it on its own and isn't bound by the same rules as the Multiverse.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:And from the way I see it, they can do the following time streams:

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:- -1.0 A Shattered Glass version of the Aligned continuity.
What the-?! There's no such thing.

The only currently known SG universes there are are Primax -408.24 Epsilon (the Fun Pub SG universe) and the SG Animated universe.

All of these are meant to be tied together in one timeline.

Though, it's "Rescue Bots", not "Robot Heroes". And Exodus has a sequel: Exiles.

Except that none of the Aligned Continuity is Primax. Nor is any of it Aurex, Tyran, Malgus, Viron, etc. It's none of the above because it doesn't exist in any of the multiverse's universal clusters. It's a cluster that exists outside of it off in another part of the Omniverse. :-B

:PEACE:

I am saying this as civil as possible: I made peace with Sabrblade because he is the first person I respected ever since my return to this site. However, with you, I cannot do the same because you are two-faced in this situation.

Because one moment, you make attacks on my character and end it by telling me not to do it. Then you sided with another and furthered the attacked. Then you try to make peace, which has me say that it was all tied to a misunderstanding. I moved on and tried laughing at the irony tied to this event. Despite me saying that I was sorry for the misunderstanding and wanted peace, YOU ignore that, your talks of the "brotherhood," and wanting peace when you turned around and accused me of something that was not true. Yet, you ask for it to stop in hopes of getting "attention" from the "wrong people." And while I was gone, your then-partner makes another statement. You go back and attack me once more, despite your claims of not wanting this and wanting peace.

Yeah... I made peace with Sabrblade because he is a cool Maximal. But with you, the facts have me think you wanted it because you do not want to be in trouble with the moderators. Again? Maybe. But truth be told, until you sincerely change your attitude, I can only trust you as far as the brotherhood allows me to. Beyond that, your attitude has me develop no respect for you or your "knowledge."

So yeah... It was over when we traded apologies. But you started it again. So don't tell us when to end something and forget when you cannot do it yourself. So for the sake of the Brotherhood, and my respect for both Sabrblade and the others... I have moved on, but will not respect you until you can show me that you sincerely respect the brotherhood. And all because I admitted to misunderstanding what you meant, and you chose to ignore that fact. I hope you are happy with the results, Prime. >:oP

In other news... Does anybody know of a site that has a complete listing of the current and upcoming Hasbro Transformers: Prime toys? :???:

All good points. I guess I need to contact Hasbro on all of this, and see if they have a few answers to a few questions: Such as why Arcee in WFC looks like her G1 counterpart, and is a completely different form in PRIME. And if we will ever see Flamewar, as well as Slipstream in future episodes - As Flamewar was said to be stalking Arcee, but never said when. And Slipstream is just awesome and needs a PRIME figure. :-?

Simple body upgrades, perhaps? A lot can happen over the course of several eons. ;)

Though, the real world reason sadly seems to be that, when it comes to the Aligned continuity, Hasbro doesn't seem to care about character aesthetics so long as the story itself works. I mean, TF: Prime and Rescue Bots take place at the same time, yet Optimus turns into a long nose truck in Prime, while he turns into a flat nose truck in Rescue Bots. This is also why I fear we may get no in-story explanation for Optimus' new body design in Fall of Cybertron

Slipstream is getting a Prime toy. The TFCC Subscription Service is releasing a Prime Slipstream toy that is a redeco of the First Edition Starscream toy with a new head.

I made no attacks on your character. I did not insult you or call you any names at all, but you may take simple, plain text as a rude overtone. I tend to speak type words as plain as possible, whilst only showing any sort of emotion a handful of times, or if I'm truly pissed off.

It seems that I cannot clarify something after making peace without you thinking I'm attacking you. The Transformers began with the 1980s Japanese toy lines Microman and Diaclone. The former utilized varying humanoid-type figures while the latter presented robots able to transform into everyday vehicles, electronic items or weapons. Hasbro, fresh from the success of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, which used the Microman technology to great success, bought the Diaclone toys, and partnered with Takara. Technically the Transformers were Takara's baby before Hasbro bought them and partnered with the Japanese toy company.

And it is true that I didn't want to get in trouble with the moderators, with doubts I would, but I also didn't want anyone else jumping in, insulting others in an extremely harmful way and then they get a warning or ultimately banned.

You did not make it clear to me that you misunderstood what I said until pages later when a feud already began. You're going to be prone to argument with others on this board, and you'll have to learn not to feel so bullied when someone tries to get their point across, in frustration or not. And I'd also like for you to point out to me where I insulted your character.

Knowledge in quotation? It seems you're trying to outmatch how "rude" I was to you, which will only result in further problems.

And which Prime toys are you talking about? Cyberverse or RiD? If RiD, I do have a list right here:

They weren't "Transformers" until Hasbro got their mitts on them. While Takara did crate the toy molds, the toys being "Transformers toys" was Hasbro's doing. Hasbro created the Transformers franchise. Takara just made the building blocks that Hasbro needed to assemble.

Kindly remove this one as it isn't certain whether or not Hasbro will be releasing the toy as ironhide at all. That bit is only being left on TFWiki until we get a straight answer since at least one source has mentioned Ironhide coming bu could still be mistaken for Kup since Ironhide wasn't part of the full 2012 line up Hasbro showed at SDCC. ;)

Yep, Hasbro gave them the name of Transformers, but my point is that it was Takara's idea to begin with.

I renamed that to "Unconfirmed." Thanks for that.

Even if it is Takara exclusive, you could just put the cannons that come with Kup on Ironhide, considering we saw him with only one.

Though, Hasbro themselves thought up the "transforming alien robot race at civil war" angle, which Marvel guys like Budiansky ran with for the write up.

I see. Point being that Hasbro weren't the ones whom originally thought of transforming robots. It was brands like Diaclone, Macross, and Micro Change that inspired the Transformers franchise. I guess you can say Hasbro's the Mommy and Takara's the Daddy of the Transformers franchise, and not give all the credit to Hasbro.

So, the full credit for the Transformers brand goes to all of them with Hasbro masterminding at the helm and the others helping to fulfill Hasbro's agenda. ;)

Helpful information. Thanks. :)

Well, there's not a lot left to say about the original topic. You know, this upcoming episode. We're diverting all of our business to these threads that the poor TFP Discussion Thread is getting neglected. :-( :lol:

Speaking of Microman, Takara, and this series... As well as the fact that I do not have to say anything to Prime (for obvious reasons)... And the fact that I may skip on Exile, as I found out that there were a number of story-based errors in the book. >:oP

So with the topic at hand: Ironhide will not be appearing in PRIME. Looking for information on the series, as I needed to get a fleshed-out understanding (just in case I decide to go beyond the animated series), I found out that they officially stated this year that Ironhide will not appear in the series. I guess his fate is in the "Binder of Revelation." :???:

However, if you are not company specific, Takara Tomy is rumored to be making an Arms Microns version. So there is that, and the fact that the binder containing elements from all past series, I am starting to wonder if this series will go beyond season 3. (But that is a different story, as I am trying to kill the time looking for a way to see this series in Japanese.) :BOT:

If you don't want to resolve the problem and give a cold shoulder, you could just put me on your ignore list. Just remember, I tried making peace, but as soon as there was another minor response to one of your statements, you wanted to cry in the corner. I reviewed the conversation and at no point in time did I insult you or your character. You can't even back up your claim when I ask you to point it out to me. Don't be overly sensitive to responses, or you'll get eaten alive.

A long-overdue statement, but: Welcome to Seibertron. ;)

Yes, and I would be missing out on the person you can be... Not the person you have chosen to be. So excuse me while I laugh at the irony you are trying to say is the truth from here on out. :P

PrimeStriker wrote:Just remember, I tried making peace, but as soon as there was another minor response to one of your statements, you wanted to cry in the corner.
That is true. But you also told people that you were a victim of something I previously said was a misunderstanding. And to be honest, peace does not allow you to make slanderous accusations just because your ego was bruised. >:oP ..... :lol:

PrimeStriker wrote:I reviewed the conversation and at no point in time did I insult you or your character.
How many times have I heard that as a moderator. :lol: You constantly insulted me and my character! :lol: You insulted my character when you said I disregarded everything I said, and insulted me when you talked about me "crying in a corner"! :lol:

So yeah... Let me give you a tip: If you want to be seen as innocent, stick with the apology and let it go. Because a person guilty of a crime will always claim innocence while attacking any part of the person that they feel is prosecuting them. >:oP

PrimeStriker wrote:You can't even back up your claim when I ask you to point it out to me. Don't be overly sensitive to responses, or you'll get eaten alive.
And yet... Other members said you were served by a new member. That you were taken down a peg or two. And by a guy who not once showed emotional attachment to anything but the actual subject and the brotherhood... That you, yourself, claimed to take seriously. :lol:

I told you that I misunderstood your usage of the name "Hot Rod" and you ignored that. I even apologized and you ignored that. I laughed at my own mistake and you ignored that. I said I receive my information from both Wikipedia AND TFwiki... And you ignored that! :lol:

Laughing at the irony to what is being said, and not you! :lol:

Oh, and also... If I didn't, explain your attitude change when you Sabrblade backed me up on Hasbro being the creator of The Transformers. ;) Plus, also Microman and Diaclone were licensed by Hasbro before Takara found out that the franchise was a success in their test markets and became a permanent partner. ;)

PrimeStriker wrote:A long-overdue statement, but: Welcome to Seibertron. ;)
Thanks, but this is actually my return. My first time here came when Heavy Metal War debuted and yet my interest in the franchise was not as strong. And to be honest, I wanted to return when I obtained my 10th MISB Transformer. I ended up joining between the time I received Transformer #6 (AM-11 Arcee) and #8 (A-01U Ultra Magnus).

And thanks to something Sabrblade said, I now need to know if Takara Tomy is giving PRIME the same treatment, or if they will go a different direction... Like they did with Animated. :P

Eh, well, yeah, the book is flawed, but it's a required read for anyone wanting more info on the Aligned continuity, as the novels appear to be what draw from the Binder of Revelation the most.

Then again, while I myself didn't quite enjoy it the first time around, I've heard others give it a more positive reception on other sites, calling it a better read than Exodus. so, maybe I should give it another shot. Having already read it once, I'll know what to expect of the errors and such and shouldn't be as disappointed. :P

I keep hearing people say this. What Hasbro said about Ironhide when they unveiled his Cyberverse toy was not "We're making this toy, but Ironhide will not be in Prime," but rather it was "We're making this toy, but having a toy doesn't guarantee that he'll be in the show." They told us not to expect him being the show, but they didn't fully say no to him showing up at all later on. So, there is still a possibility of Ironhide being able to appear in the show, but nothing immediate from the sound of it.

Someone on Dailymotion has been uploading the Japanese dub episodes. The first 20 episodes have been uploaded thus far. This person also has episode of Beast Wars II, so the Prime episodes are mixed in there in the user's video catalog.

I've heard people use the excuse that he dies in FOC and that's why he won't appear. They probably just saw a generic colored like Ironhide die, because he's alive and well in Exlies.

Again (I've said this before somewhere but I'm too lazy to check if it was here), if they release Ironhide as a Takara Exclusive and he only comes with one arms-micron cannon, I'll just throw that somewhere else and give Kup's cannons to Ironhide. It's the perfect fix.

And I'm going to ignore the misspelling of Sabrblade's name.

at least we've moved past the conspiracy theory of shockwave being the new recruit (despite the obvious faction issue) or the half dozen or so characters named off the top of peoples heads (if it hasnt been in the headlines then its speculation, not confirmed fact)

regardless though, some of you guys really need to stop taking this stuff so seriously, especially attacking each other in any way. ive been guilty of going too far and being a nerdragey fanboy so i know about being passionate about this stuff, but its not real, they just make a lot of this stuff up. some of the debate of facts and universal continuities here is beyond words. The alligned continuity is a TV show and a toyline with a variety of spinoffs in other media, its not perfect, the aesthetics differ across the formats and occasionally it contradicts itself massively. sometimes you just need to realise youre reading WAY too much into this and should step away from the keyboard.

Anybody thats seen Galaxy Quest id point out the Justin Long superfan character. Nuff said

As far as the new recruit, id love it to be Kup. I know its random, but im a Kup fanboy and its pure wishful thinking

Sorry. Needed to get that out of the way, seeing how a Decepticon's version of peace is different from an Autobots. :lol: Besides, I am in a great mood because my 10th MISB Transformer came in the mail. :grin:

Which means I have no time for his stories of "peace" and other off-topic claims, as I need to figure out who to buy next (even though I need to start saving up for the AFA part of my collection). Plus, I'll just sit in his spot if needed. :P So yeah... *pulls out a hat and cane* Be. My. Gue --

Yeah... The only way I can see the book series redeem itself is if the writer reveals that it was told by an old bot that obtained the data from numerous computer data files. Because much like "Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?" retold the series with inaccurate historical detail, that is how this book should be taken... Chronologically speaking.

Yeah. He was originally going to be in the show, but the producers chose to place Bulkhead in it instead, as to not confuse kids when it comes to his movie counterpart. And at BotCon 2012, they had confirmed that he will not be seen in the series... But I do not think this means the comic series, as the Dinobots are going to make their PRIME-based debut through that.

Nice. :APPLAUSE: Besides, I must confess is that the one that intrigues me the most is the much rumored "Arms Microns" Leo Prime. I am not the type of guy who plans to buy a character with the rank/title of Prime, when it comes to collecting, as they tend to make numerous versions of any Prime for a single toy line. :BOOM:

But even then... I am hoping it is more like the Beast Wars II or Robot Masters Lio Convoy, and not the Classics or Universe Leo Prime. :lol:

Very nice. Thanks. :D I also wanted to see Beast Wars II as well. But with Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Prime... I have heard that more than the dialogue has changed.

So until we get new episodes... I want to see how boycrazy Airachnid really sounds. :KREMZEEK: :CON:

A lot of people seem to forget the fact; that's not the only reason Bulkhead replaced Ironhide. They were writing a character for Ironhide (clumsy, naïve, husky) that fit Animated Bulkhead more. I personally believe this is a more dominant reason, since, if I recall correctly, they gave this reasoning before the dead movie Ironhide reason in the season 1 DVD release. Plus, they confuse kids with a living Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, and Arcee anyway.

Let's not take factions of a board that we make ourselves so seriously. This isn't role play.

They were writing a character for Ironhide (clumsy, naïve, husky) that fit Animated Bulkhead more. I personally believe this is a more dominant reason, since, if I recall correctly, they gave this reasoning before the dead movie Ironhide reason in the season 1 DVD release. Plus, they confuse kids with a living Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, and Arcee anyway.
That is good to know. :D

And besides, the movie version of Arcee is one of my least favorite incarnations. The only one I like less than her is the "Botcon" version that has her transform into a spider. [-(

Prime... Wow. :lol: That was extremely ignorant of you to say, seeing how it was clearly obvious that I was joking. :P You do know humor, right? It is the human element where the need to not take things seriously, and find an excuse to joke about it. As in the opposite of what you have done, while showing an ironic trait of how Decepticons handle things. :lol:

Besides, while we are giving out advice... You need to stop assuming things about people you know nothing about, Prime. All it does is waste our time and doesn't allow you to receive the respect you could be receiving. :-? But even then, I have not role-played in quite some time... Seeing how Hasbro has been far too focused on Dungeons & Dragons that they have yet attempted to test out a possible "tabletalk" Transformers RPG, and the systems I am interested in are only in Japanese. :BOOM:

Motto: "When did I get this tattoo?"
Weapon: Thrust Gun
In what instance of what I just said did I assume anything about you? I made an innocent statement that is being exaggerated.

No, I don't think it's good or nice to joke about someone. Not that I found anything funny about that.

I doubt any of the little kids knew or cared who Arcee was, because you know, why give a crap abou any other character other than Bumblebee, Optimus, and that "bad guy"

Currently? Based on the lack of a emotional tone tied to stuff said, it would be your statement about not role-playing, which was tied to my statement tied to your choice of G1 Decepticon symbol. :CON:

Now, if you don't mind, I am confiscating your preferred seat. :P

PrimeStriker wrote:No, I don't think it's good or nice to joke about someone. Not that I found anything funny about that.
The thing is that people with compassion say the same thing. However, it is proper to use a non-confrontational lighter tone when trying to communicate or refer to those whom you have just met.

Then again, if I wanted to be cruel in my humor, I would have created a comparison of the person in question with any elements tied to (if not the game as a whole) Mystery of Convoy. :P

And that is the benefits of being in a Transformers dry-zone. You never hear kids talk about any of them at all here. :lol: And when I did, it was always the character that is either the coolest in appearance or has the most features. :P
