You have to make a bunch of logical stretches to accept the WfC/FoC series as anything but its own thing. I think my statement more or less sums up how I feel about it. There are too many inconsistencies that you have to ignore to even have a decent match.

 

This.

It is its own continuity. At best, it could be counted as a Primax-cluster universe or an Aligned universe. But there's no way to fit it into TFP, the novels, Rescue Bots, the HoF bios(which mind you were also stated to encompass the characters as a whole, not only Aligned)

 

But with all that said and done you have yet prove otherwise despite your extensive posts. As it stands FOC and ROTD are fine in continuty with Prime.

It doesn't matter how much you post or how passionate one is, facts are facts on till proven otherwise. There is not much more to discuss but, it was fun playing 

 

You're not wrong, but what Hasbro says officially is what goes, nonsensical or not. I'm too rational to care.

 

Which is a shame, cause it makes for some horrible fiction.

 

...is there proof of this?

And btw, it still doesn't matter what anyone says when it contradicts what is produced.

 

You mean besides both Hasbro and Tieger saying FoC is a prequel to Prime?

And the contradictions are minimal, despite what certain people wish to believe.

 

In FOC they are nearly none existent.

It's a matter of enough people say it, it must be true.

 

Personally I don't care if it all really fits or not. I sleep easier not thinking about fitting it all in.

 

Wait, since when has Transformers been on Fox since RID.

 

Prime's being aired on their SatAM Vortexx block.

 

I was making a joke who said FoX instead of FoC.

 

If you haven't learned to love horrible fiction by this point, you may be in the wrong franchise.

 

Sorry FOC as in Fall of Cybertron  

 

So when did Tieger say that now...?

Contradictions shouldn't even be there after WFC. WFC was being made before the whole 'Aligned' decision, but FoC had time to 'correct' them.

 

I'm wondering this as well. Even if he did say it, I'm highly skeptical of the idea that they focused making their game fit with some vaguely connected tv series rather than focusing on making a great sequel to WFC.

 

Tieger made a bigger effort to connect it to Prime. That's why Optimus's first gun is the Prime gun, Megatron's alt mode is closer to Prime and the Nemesis is based on the Prime nemesis. Also Mute Bee and Cliffjumper's design I suppose.

IIRC he said that the idea is that they want to show that "the cast is slowly evolving into their designs that they take on Earth". It stands to reason that the next game will have even more design cues.

 

Nope. Tieger said WFOC was meant as a general prequel to all continuities. Not directly, of course, but still a basic prequel.
This is how I think of it, based on common sense and clues; the games were meant as their own continuity, and Hasbro absorbed it into Aligned, leading to their insisting it is a prequel to everything for the next decade.

I still clearly remember a statement by Tieger about Prime representing all continuities indirectly. Nothing about specifically targeting Prime, not at least until FOC when Hasbro was forcing FOC into Prime.
Although it does sound really cool for them to be "slowly evolving into their Prime designs".
Now I want the third game more.

 

Sadly I have considered that from time to time.

 

That isn't a "Fox" effort, Saban brands programs it after the dissolution of 4Kids (which ran the block's prior incarnations), and it nominally airs on The CW, however, some stations get CW programing through license/syndication deals.

So while the channel may be Fox, they also have some sort of deal for CW content.

Either way, the block isn't ran by the entities that air them.
