Ok.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Problem with that is the fact that Trypticon and Predaking were around as late as Part 6. Which is something that TOMY could have retconned, but instead implied it still happened... Which also means that the events in the OVA lasted a lot longer than we were shown. (I feel ripped off.) :lol:
Meh, the Transformers media is no stranger to continuity errors. ;)

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Meh. I do not need no commentary. :lol: I just have a lot of stuff to discuss with him. Get in his head and whatnot.
By "commentary", i meant that he's posting in this thread talking with us about the stories and answering questions about them and such. I gave you the link so you might also talk with him and such.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Because from what he is saying, UNITED would be based on the "Autobot edition" (see below) continuity. Namely because it has been a Japanese continuity since 1986 (The Rebirth came first). And because of that, Masterforce could have been about the Powermasters... Not the Godmasters. And Victory is untouchable, as they could simply say Ginrai is an Autobot that was based on Powermaster Optimus Prime... Which could also further validate Star Saber saving the lovable former Dinforce member. :-?
I'm honestly not quite understanding what you mean here. :oops:

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Yeah. I am assuming that they are not all based in the same continuity. I mean, unless Galvatron was reformatted back into Megatron by this mysterious leader, Optimus Prime may be the only core character that did not dimension hop. :-?
From what he's mentioned about the bios, he figured that they were telling bits of events taking place off screen at various point in the cartoon timeline, probably at some point when Megatron's alive.

As for the point in time United EX takes place, since it's concurrent with Operation Combination, Scrash is the current leader with (Ultra) Megatron out of commission for the time being.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:From what I was told, there are two LD sets - The Takara set and the Pioneer set. The Takara set was said to cover season 1 (Convoy Set), season 2 (Megatron Set), 2010, and The Headmasters (which included a Japanese dubbing of... ugh... The Rebirth). Whereas the Pioneer set does not have the additional clip shows and (along with their DVD set) also caps off with (again, ugh) The Rebirth.

Problem is that I have no real confirmation on if they did a Japanese dubbing for the Sunbow version or just did the packaging for international appeal. Or if it a fusion of the Sunbow and Takara versions. Because as we speak, until TOMY decides to put out an edition that combines the two sets, it is only a speculation that Pioneer did a new dub for their set. :-B

However, if it is confirmed that this was done, then we can calmly say which Japanese continuity UNITED EX comes from. ;)
Wait. Them making two different LD sets doesn't make one more canon than the other. It's not like the content of one overrides the other. Even though the Pioneer sets lacked the clip shows and had the missing English episodes ("Attack of the Autobots", "Day of the Machines", and "The Rebirth") dubbed into Japanese, that doesn't mean the Takara LDs no longer matter. "The Rebirth" and them were likely dubbed into Japanese just to complete the dubs of the American episodes, but The Headmasters/Masterforce/Victory/Zone/RoC/OpCom/G-2 is the official path taken by the cartoon timeline. To the Japanese, "The Rebirth" is an alternate path.

*facepalms* Please stop doing that. I am fully aware that you know your non-Pioneer works, but you also (again) ignored a lot of key facts while trying to dismiss what I am saying. Something that is a contradiction, and disallows you to realize that... Once again... Me helping you have more things to research and even discuss with HYDRA is an anxiety-based event. >:oP

So yeah... I am already under a lot of stress, and you telling me wrong without having your facts straightened out only adds to the anxiety portion of my stress. So please, once again, stop and listen. Because I am trying to pass this info onto you (as in you can pass it onto others, and maybe even delve deeper into it once I am gone). >:oP

So with the series... Even though it is, as always, off-topic:

Takara version: 74 + TV special + OVA = seasons 1 + 2; 32 = 2010; plus the other series.
Pioneer version: 30 + TV special + OVA = seasons 1 + 2; 30 + The Rebirth = 2010; no further series.

In other words - Both Pioneer and Takara (pre-merger) stated that the Pioneer version was made for those who wanted a more international flare. As in, if confirmed, giving the Japanese fanbase a Japanese dubbed version of the Sunbow continuity. As in, if confirmed, giving Takara a second of three (read: Binaltech/Alternity) Japanese-based animated continuities.

Which means that manga #2 ties into an alternate version of The Rebirth. e-HOBBY's 2010 story ties into a different version of Pioneer's version of 2010. Galvatron could become "Classics" Megatron and face off against a Powermaster Optimus Prime, instead of the events detailed in Masterforce. HYDRA's version of Victory is validated. Oh, and for the sake of UNITED EX - It also allows the death of Devastor in Zone to be retconned. Namely on account that in the first series, he survived a lava bath. Which means that HYDRA could use any of those members without causing any conflicts. ;)

Okay, I will gladly listen. But I need to see where your information came from, as I want to see where you're coming from here so I can be on the same page as yourself.

I know you to be a smart, enthusiastic guy who doesn't make stuff up and takes this stuff seriously. So I want to see from the source where you came to acquire this information that you have accumulated.

Tatakae! Chou Robot Seimeitai Transformers (and its sequel 2010) is all one show, one world, one continuity. Just because two different DVD companies released their own versions of it doesn't make it be two different continuities.

For an English example, look at the Kid Rhino and Shout! Factory DVD sets of the English G1 cartoon. They both released the same show on DVD with the episodes ordered differently between each company's DVD release. But, that doesn't make there be a "Rhino continuity" and a "Shout! continuity". It's the same show, the same world, the same continuity, just produced in two different commercial formats. The real world DVDs differ, but the fictional world of the cartoon remains the same.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Which means that manga #2 ties into an alternate version of The Rebirth.
The creators of that story said it was its own micro-continuity autonomous from any existing one. Though it contains elements from "The Rebirth" it also contains elements from Marvel G1 and The Headmasters, but is its own entity.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:e-HOBBY's 2010 story ties into a different version of Pioneer's version of 2010. Galvatron could become "Classics" Megatron and face off against a Powermaster Optimus Prime, instead of the events detailed in Masterforce.

Unless it's the "Eighth Constructicon". Or a Constructicon-esque character. ;)

Note to self: Get new laptop after finalizing move to Hawaii, and all distractions are out of the way. :BANG_HEAD:

But yeah, Sabr, if you want links and info... Just ask. Like I tell everybody, as long as you are not dismissive, you have my help. ;)

Information on Pioneer's version: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Geneon_Universal_Entertainment
Translation for Transformers 2010, from Amazon Japan (LINK): "Limited Edition DVD-BOX was recorded 3 episodes of unaired TV series was broadcast in Japan, Transformers "U.S. version" is in addition to all 30 story! TV series finally appeared."

In other words - Both the LD and DVD are the same. And Amazon Japan confirms that the Pioneer set is a Japanese version of the U.S. series. And since it was dubbed in Japanese, and is based on the U.S. series, that makes it an untouched continuity... FREE OF KISS PLAYERS. :lol: (Kiss Players fans: :-()

Continuity: Comparing U.S. versions of the same product is like comparing red apples to Roman red apples. Continuity as a whole come in terms of variations depicted by a singular notion,and can spawn parallel continuities just by making a significant enough change. Takara did this by changing names and terminologies, adding clip episodes, removing The Rebirth, and adding extra series.

So when it comes to Japanese animated G1 continuities... You have: 1985-1990 Takara, 1998/1999 Pioneer, and 2006/2007 TOMY. Take note that I am excluding the Zone manga and everything after that as it was made to promote the toyline... Not continue the animated series. ;)

And for extra credit, you have... This. In the Dutch version of the continuity created by Marvel, Optimus Prime's name is Jetfire. The UK version has far more to just what the U.S. was given (even with Generation 2 and Regeneration One).

Which is my point - Even if the series is the same, a different continuity will be created for a different audience. Both Takara and Pioneer made that point with their sets... And the Dutch Marvel version had to do it because of copyright issues. 8)

And trust me... When it comes to continuity, I can give you variations created by FUNimation, Viz Media, and other companies. Just remember that it is also why I prefer Kadokawa Shoten-based anime series and Transformers: All Spark when it comes to my monthly manga collecting. :-B

e-HOBBY: Here is the story. ;) http://www.e-hobbymagazine.com/category/english/exstoryen

Constructicon: The only Constructicon I know about are Steamhammer and the former Decepticon who changed sides because he was rejected - For not being green. :lol:

Now if you do not mind... I need to stop liking this series, on grounds that I am trying to reduce my "Year 2" buying. I have to get my pieces graded, move, and other costly things.

For one, Google Translate is never a word for word correct Japanese-to-English translation. :o)

The episodes on Pioneer's DVDs aren't redubs of the English version. They're same dubs as those on the Takara LD versions, with the only difference being the additional episodes not originally broadcast in Japan being included for completion's sake. Convoy is still Convoy, Cybertrons and Destrons remain the same, and the story of FSRLTF2010 is exactly as it was presented on Japanese television in 1986. Only the newly-added "The Rebirth" episodes use American names, but only for a select few characters since, again, Convoy is still Convoy and such.

Yeah, I get that the American and Japanese versions are different continuities, but Pioneer didn't create a new continuity when they threw in "The Rebirth" as a bonus. It's non-canon to the Japanese version.

Just like when Sony threw in a silent version of Scramble City in their Transformers: The Movie DVD. It's a non-canon inclusion done for simple appeal only.

Can it not be seen as both? The Battlestars story pages make explicit callbacks to the events of The Headmasters cartoon. Not the manga, but the cartoon.

And I get that. But Pioneer didn't redub the series. The episodes on Pioneer's DVDs are presented exactly as they were in 1986, minus the missing clip chows, which I'm guessing are missing since Toei is notorious for snuffing companies like that.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:e-HOBBY: Here is the story. ;) http://www.e-hobbymagazine.com/category/english/exstoryen
Oh, THAT story. Right.

But where do you get a "Classics Megatron" and "Powermaster Optimus Prime" from that? :???:

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Constructicon: The only Constructicon I know about are Steamhammer and the former Decepticon who changed sides because he was rejected - For not being green. :lol:
The "Eighth Constructicon" comes from a bit of animation during the episode "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4", in which we see Megatron being created by a group who greatly resembles the Constructicons, except that there are eight of them instead of six. The e-HOBBY redeco of Grapple, RoadHauler, would later be revealed as having possibly been the seventh, leaving the eighth one still a mystery. Some of us are proposing that Buildmaster could be this eighth one finally given an identity, which would be cool.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Now if you do not mind... I need to stop liking this series, on grounds that I am trying to reduce my "Year 2" buying. I have to get my pieces graded, move, and other costly things.
Well, in my case, I'm quite enjoying this United EX story, but I'm not buying the toys. I might if I could, but I don't feel the need to at the moment. But I still like the story. :)

Let me simplify this, Sabr, as you insulted me while trying to be right. You disregarded Toei's history when it comes to western companies. And this includes non-Transformers related companies like FUNimation. You disregarded the fact that continuity is based on changes that have a long-standing effect on how the story is handled. You disregarded the fact I am having issues with my laptop while trying to make me sound like a fool in public. You say I am this kind of guy, but you contradict it in your pursuit of being right. Something that has me spot holes in your "facts."

Sunbow's chronology is based on 98 episodes. Takara's chronology, before Headmasters, is based on 102-106 episodes and does not follow the same order as Sunbow's. Pioneer's chronology is based on Sunbow's, but replaced the two missing episodes with the TV special and OVA. Your claims dictate differently, which would have them put out a total of 100 episodes among the three sets. So when it comes to the Amazon Japan description of Pioneer's set, I also used two apps I downloaded... As well as Excite, Livedoor, Bing, Nifty, Babylon and Dictionary.com in hopes to find anything that is a repeating factor.

Namely... "Transformers "version of the United States", which aired in Japan TV series finally appeared!"

I cannot speak for the others... But I at the very least want the version of you that will jump in and help those who need information. The version of you that makes topics fun, at least when you talk to Pryme and Jelze. I don't want to have another 4 hours of my birthday wasted, and find myself spending a portion of that day and beyond hoping that Seibertron does not have a more negative view of me. And even then, I tried to find a middle ground between you and another member who brought this up. So please do not respond. Let this argument die and dwell on the fact that you have a reputation of dismissing things you say and others say in favor of being right.

So yeah... I will not block you because I know I will be missing out on a few fun times with you. However, I am now on the ropes and have to either ignore every topic you respond to... Consider quitting a second time just to spare me from having any anxiety that will result in me quitting... Or just hope that you will realize that you are dismissing a HUGE chunk of who I am because you have this "reputation" of being right. Hence why I am asking to stop, as I am doing just that, and dwell on how you are being perceived whenever you respond this way. (And this is a guy who, being diagnosed with Aspergers, is recommending... And does.)

Up to you. Because the me who rejoined this site wanted to have fun, not be insulted or be treated as an inferior - No matter what the case may be. And FYI: This is the exact reason why I said that I wanted to have a one-on-one conversation with HYDRA. The end here, and thank you for another "fun" time on these kind of topics. >:oP

What does Toei's history have to do with this?

Even though Pioneer didn't change the story with their release?

Your laptop issues are your own. What relevance do they have to the Transformers topic?

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:while trying to make me sound like a fool in public.
Again, when?

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:You say I am this kind of guy, but you contradict it in your pursuit of being right. Something that has me spot holes in your "facts."
From what you told me, it sounded like you were saying that Pioneer redid the cartoon with their releases. If you were not saying that they redid the series, then I was mistaken.

Though, there ARE some things I WAS WRONG about. I though that Takara had released the clip shows on their LDs, when it looks like they didn't. I also thought Takara hadn't released the five missing episodes on their LDs, when it seems that they did as well. My mistake on these two accounts.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Sunbow's chronology is based on 98 episodes.
Yes.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Takara's chronology, before Headmasters, is based on 102-106 episodes and does not follow the same order as Sunbow's.
Yes, though, Takara's LDs didn't have the clip shows.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Pioneer's chronology is based on Sunbow's, but replaced the two missing episodes with the TV special and OVA.
Pioneer maintained the Japanese episode order that Takara did. Both have the episodes ordered as their were originally broadcasted in Japan.

Though, Takara also included both Scramble City and "Exciting Transformer" in their releases, according to this page - http://tfwiki.net/wiki/TakaraTomy#Home_video

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Your claims dictate differently, which would have them put out a total of 100 episodes among the three sets.
Having checked over things, I see now that Pioneer did sets of episodes 1-35, 36-63 + the 2 missing episodes, and 1-30 of 2010 + The Rebirth. 63 + 2 + 30 + 3 = 98.

And that Takara did sets of 1-35, 36-63 + the 2 missing episodes, and 1-30 of 2010. 35 + 28 + 2 + 30 = 95. Same count as Pioneer minus The Rebirth.

I'm looking into what this description is trying to say, and by breaking apart the individual phrases to make the message more coherent, it looks as though, by "U.S. version", they mean the cartoon itself originating from the U.S., with it being an American cartoon dubbed into Japanese The episodes themselves are unaltered from their original Japanese dubs in 1986. If they were, this would have been made well known all over with the main Transformers websites spelling it out.

Basically, the Amazon Japan is stating this:
"The American Transformers cartoon aired by Nippon Television is finally here. Included with all 30 TV episodes are three unaired episodes. Limited edition DVD-BOX."

That is a translation that both makes sense in English and sticks true to the message of the Japanese language description, whereas Google Translate felt more (pardon the pun) robotic in its translation.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:I cannot speak for the others... But I at the very least want the version of you that will jump in and help those who need information. The version of you that makes topics fun, at least when you talk to Pryme and Jelze.
That's what I'm trying to do here. I'm trying to help you see that Pioneer's episodes are just like Takara's episodes, same audio track and episode order and all.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:And even then, I tried to find a middle ground between you and another member who brought this up. So please do not respond. Let this argument die and dwell on the fact that you have a reputation of dismissing things you say and others say in favor of being right.
I'm not trying to dismiss you. That's why I asked for where you were coming from this. But I aside from the Amazon Japan description, I don't know where one would come to think that Pioneer's episodes are different from Takara's when there hasn't been such an announcement made yet. Something like that is big news and worthy of being incorporated into the TFWiki, yet there's no mention of a second dub or episode reordering anywhere on that site.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:So yeah... I will not block you because I know I will be missing out on a few fun times with you.
And I you. You're a smart guy with some interesting ideas.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:However, I am now on the ropes and have to either ignore every topic you respond to... Consider quitting a second time just to spare me from having any anxiety that will result in me quitting... Or just hope that you will realize that you are dismissing a HUGE chunk of who I am because you have this "reputation" of being right.
I just wrote above that I was WRONG about some things. I have openly spelled out in the past that I am not perfect and am just as prone to error as anyone. I am human, I make mistakes and failures just the same as anyone.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Hence why I am asking to stop, as I am doing just that, and dwell on how you are being perceived whenever you respond this way. (And this is a guy who, being diagnosed with Aspergers, is recommending... And does.)
You and I are more alike than you realize. I have Aspergers Syndrome as well.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:Up to you. Because the me who rejoined this site wanted to have fun, not be insulted or be treated as an inferior - No matter what the case may be.
I have never once tried to insult you. If something was taken the wrong way, then I apologize. But I don't see you as an inferior.

KUMA-NIN Maximus wrote:And FYI: This is the exact reason why I said that I wanted to have a one-on-one conversation with HYDRA. The end here, and thank you for another "fun" time on these kind of topics. >:oP
I showed you where you could do that. Go to Allspark.com and talk with him. He's there. You can speak to him there.

Hey guys! Guess what! You two are upsetting other members of this site! Image

So here's your choices, take your personal issues to pm land and sort it out between you both and get this thread back on topic.

Oh wait, that appears to only be one option. Deal with it or I'll have to. I'd rather not have to deal with the complaints about you two.
