Sabrblade wrote:You know, this has become a rather timely question since the latest issue of the TCC magazine has provided a two-page screencap comic that presents a very similar "what if" situation to this inquiry. And that is "What if both Optimus and Megatron were never revived in the Ark?"
In this comic, Beast Wars Megatron succeeds in killing the stasis locked Optimus Prime, but to tip the scales back against BW Megatron's actions, Blackarachnia uses her venom to render G1 Megatron permanently offline, preventing him from waking in 1984 as well. Thus, time is rewritten and history takes a difference course. With both Optimus Prime and Megatron completely out of commission and irreparable by the time Teletraan I reactivated and revived everyone else inside the Ark, the war took a different direction with both sides leaderless, and a new timeline was born with a completely different future.
That future... is Beast Wars: Uprising.
One might think, but let's consider something else. Unicron in the movie told Galvatron "For a time, I considered sparring your wretched planet Cybertron..." and only lashed out against Cybertron when Galvatron attempted to use the Matrix against Unicron rather than destroy the Matrix. If the Matrix was gone when Optimus died, then Unicron wouldn't need to have Galvatron go destroy it, thus Galvatron wouldn't be able to try using the Matrix against Unicron, thus Unicron wouldn't get angry enough at Galvatron to want to spite him by attacking Cybertron.Tyrannacon wrote:Alright. That actually sounds pretty cool. Also, wouldn't that have like further repercussions too? Like Unicron destroying Cybertron and there being no Matrix to fight back against him?

True. Though, the 2005 thing is if Unicron attacked during that year and not during 1991 like he did in Marvel.Kurona wrote:The thing that I never get about the whole "If Optimus is dead the Matrix isn't around to kill Unicron" thing... is that how does Optimus' death and the Matrix' disappearance correlate in any sense? Hell, the first time we ever saw the Matrix in Transformers was when Optimus died. When the Autobots woke up they'd find Optimus dead, mourn him sadly and keep the Matrix somewhere safe. And then later Hot Rod might stumble across it and become Rodimus - maybe even earlier than 2005, which is pretty interesting. I don't think even BW Megatron would be crazy enough to destroy the one thing keeping robot-satan at bay.
