FOC Megatron desperately needs a voyager toy. Then, finally, I'll have a suitable Megatron to lead my Classics Decepticons.

Another continuity snarl!
I wish I could say I was surprised...
I guess the only sensible thing to do is to write ROTDS's WFC/FOC parts out of the main Aligned timeline and consider it merely an alternate reality version like how "Tales of the Beast Hunters" is to Prime season 3.Mindmaster wrote:Henry921 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Wait a sec.

No harm done to the main timeline that way, as it just excommunicates this game and makes it its own individuated entity.
Actually I've read some things that suggest the game takes place shortly before the launch of The Ark.After Megatron is upgraded, but before the end of Fall of Cybertron.Sabrblade wrote:Wait a sec.

I believe it was part of a Gameinformer article. Course it doesn't say specifically it's riiight after his revival, but it makes sense to me at least considering not much else is confirmed :bMindmaster wrote:AJ TheSnowMan wrote:Actually I've read some things that suggest the game takes place shortly before the launch of The Ark.After Megatron is upgraded, but before the end of Fall of Cybertron.Sabrblade wrote:Wait a sec.

Source?
I read that it takes place before the Ark's launch, but not the part about it taking place right after Megatron's revival.
Well, the source I heard my info from was a report on an article in a Game Informer magazine issue. If the article has further info that clarifies a setting and timeframe that doesn't conflict with the previous games, then we'd have to find some way of getting our hands on that magazine issue.Mindmaster wrote:AJ TheSnowMan wrote:Actually I've read some things that suggest the game takes place shortly before the launch of The Ark.After Megatron is upgraded, but before the end of Fall of Cybertron.Sabrblade wrote:Wait a sec.
