Chronologically, the Beast Wars took place on Earth after the Ark and Nemesis crash-landed there and before the Autobots and Decepticons awoke from their slumber. The story of Earthrise is the Ark and Nemesis's journey to Earth through space, culminating in the ships crash-landing there.TF-fan kev777 wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:AcademyofDrX wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:Which part don't you get?

Or the story line?
Yes.
So you rather pure G1?
No, I'm guessing he is like me and just trying to make sense of something that is non-sensical and just to sell toys. Going from cybertroninan(-ish) models in Siege, to earth modes (plus Quintessons) in Earthrise, and now onto beast modes (with Rodimus) just doesn't seem to flow logically. But it doesn't need to follow logic, it just needs to sell toys.

If you want to mix up or crossover product lines, I'm for it. But in this line, how, and why? I don't get it.
But there was context for Cheetor and Sky-Byte. They weren't a Maximal and a Predacon among Autobots and Decepticons, they were just another Autobot and just another Decepticon who happened to turn into mechanical animals instead of vehicles, just like how Grimlock was also an Autobot who turned into a mechanical animal. Same goes for Thunderhowl and Hammerbyte later.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:AcademyofDrX wrote: and they have Quintessons and a Maximal and a Predacon, but no real through-line.

This has always been the problem with cherry picking from across the range. Some of them don't make sense in belonging next to others. Star Saber was as removed from Prowl as Botanica is from him. Throwing the whole toybox into a line without real context will ultimately just alienate/confuse.

Couldn't tell what this was at first, but looking at it from a distance, it's definitely Megatron in T-Rex mode.
