I think that's where the main confusion is coming from because, even though we're being told the game is not G1 continuity, I think it's obvious enough that it was originally meant to be.

Aside from the homages to G1, what surefire evidence do we have to say that it was originally intended to be a G1 game, exactly?

All the interview videos with Tieger about WFC

Yeah, they said it was based on/around G1

Aside from OP, Grimlock, and CJ, does anyone else look different from WFC?

You can't look things up yourself?

It says they used it as a basis, not that it's set in G1. All TF series use G1 as a basis.

At Toy Fair 2010, two months before that, Hasbro reps said WfC was part of TF:P's continuity.

We've found proof. And you still deny it. Whatever, that doesn't matter. What matters is this game is going to be better than WFC. I'm starting to say that it doesn't matter what cartoon the game belongs to. This is just what happens before they came to Earth.

Hasbro denied it months before any of those clips.

This post may contain Transformers: Prime spoilers, so don't read any further if you don't want them to be spoiled. Also, I dunno how to black out my text so yeah.
















In TF: Prime, they say that Megatron was a Gladiator and that Optimus admired him for his revolutionist thinking, and that Optimus was chosen to be Prime over Megatron. But none of that is mentioned in War For Cybertron. If they're trying to tie the continuities together, then they're leaving a few holes in the story. I understand that it can't be perfect, but I'm just nit-picky I guess.

Yeah. After being rejected, Megatron started his war, Optimus rejected the title of Prime, then later accepted it, then in TF:P they specifically mention the mission "To The Core" from WfC.

Problem is, there's holes no matter what you believe in. Hasbro says it's based on TF:P, High Moon later claimed otherwise, but then High Moon tends to lie to us.

Sorry fella, it doesn't matter what Hasbro said, it was originally designed around G1 at its core. This is what the designers had in mind. Prove to me that it wasnt...

Well, like I said. It doesn't really matter what cartoon this game belongs to. It's just what happened before they came to Earth. I just can't wait 'till I get to play the Bruticus level.

True, its even from the mouth of Tieger a natural successor as opposed to a sequel.

anyway I cant wait to play it, I wonder how different it will be. Apparently there is only one ability button. Seems like its going to be a fairly big change from WFC.

Wait.

Waitwaitwait.

Did someone just honestly say it didn't matter what Hasbro said about Transformers?

It's called word of god, it doesn't matter what it was intended to be, it matters what Hasbro says it is. Prime pretty much summed up Megatron poisoning the core and Optimus going down there to try and find a solution (no Ironhide/Warpath though), and I don't see Dark Energon floating around in any other continuity. These events were major parts of both the novel and this game, and ties both solidly together with Prime.
