If this is during the main civil war in Cybertron (pre Ark launch) so this UM could be the UM in the 1986 Movie sans "earth mode" trans scanning who will in turn be killed by 6shot (JP line) and be resurrected as the Legends UM with A-3?
Officially, I doubt its going to be linked to the g1 toon continuity, however if that's what you want to do with your collection then more power to you
For continuity's sake is all. If Sakamoto managed to weave all continuities into the Legends Universe, even explaining who the heck Devil Z was, Oracle etc. Hopefully, Takara can step up the plate and clear things up.
Well, with the multiverse remaining a concept within TF lore to this day it's clear that TF canon will always allow for variable interpretations. What is true to one universe doesn't need to be true in another and each universe generally is allowed to stand on it's own irrelevant of lore inconsistencies. Ultimately it's the nature of the beast that is TF lore that, even if one was to make one unified timeline it would ultimately itself just be yet another timeline rendered distinct by future additions. In other words, it's all canon somewhere in the multiverse. Even toy bios, technically speaking, exist within their own (barely glimpsed) continuities.
