How many out there have seen the TLK Bonus feature "Merging Mythologies" ?

It showed a lot of the writer's room we've been hearing about and which had some pretty interesting concept art.

Early in production, apparently they had groups of writers create separate transformers stories in the existing movie timeline and they were all to showcase the ideas the Michael and Steven (Spielberg) and two of the stories were Transformers in WWII and Transformers in Arthrian times. Each had never before seen concepts, including Skyfire as a soilder in WWII and a whole film centered on the knights with different designs.

But the most interesting parts of this feature was that in the background, they had these boards portraying the movie timeline with some new tidbits. One is that Megatron came for the Allspark in Victorian England, but was fended off by the Witwiccans and was trapped in the ice. Another was that apparently, Alpha Trion imprisoned Onyx Prime in a prisoner ship and it crashed (I don't remember if it said on Earth though). They also had Quintus Prime on the board. Maybe Quintus through production became Quintessa?

Is it possible that Onyx and Alpha Trump will appear in TF6 2019? Remember, Power of the Primes will be fully released by then.

We know now that the writer's room is disbanded now, but could Hasbro still have kept what they made so far and save it for the sequels?

Thoughts?!?!

 

> Assuming that Last Knight and the first trilogy take place in the same universe.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAha Okay, probably intended, but at this point it makes no sense to.

 

Haha didn't even see that. Not changing it either

 

 

Can you share those image? Please?

 

Unfortunately I don't have the tech to do that without taking crappy pics with my phone. I was hoping someone out there could do that for me

 

I always wondered if the writers had time to watch the past movies.

No worries, but are the never before seen concepts shown?

 

That doesn't destroy anything at all. In fact that is about the ONLY thing in the whole room that might have made a decent continuity connection. Sector seven THINKS that megatron was screwed up and crashed into earth. However at this point in the films that sounds completely bs and makes megatron seem like the worst pilot in the franchise. Saying the witwiccans fought him off and trapped him would be a great explanation. Also would help explain WHY TF Archibald wanted to go to the north pole (he is a witwicky isn't he?).

 

Yes! I am watching it now thanks to this thread, it has a very interesting look at the writer's room! And new art!

 

The more I read your post the more I liked it. Excellent points! It does mess up the continuity in the comics and books but... that has always been jumbled, on screeen your theory would work

 

Hopefully someone can share that soon. With all honesty I'm just interested in the bonus disc.  

 

Are you not planning to buy it? Tell you what if I win the tfw DVD I'll mail you the disc since I already bought a blu ray lol

 

did the boards say anything about the Creators?

 

You can see the concept art of the creator hand that we've seen before. (The one where it looks more robotic and it has a universe in it's palm) and under it it mentions Unicron

 

So is it the full timeline or just bits and pieces of it?

 

Bits and pieces

 

Can we have a brief summary of it?

 

My God, it's a nightmare... WHY DID THEY NEED TO MERGE SOMETHING?  Onix Prime? Alpha Trion? Megatron in Victorian times? Archibald Witwicky found him in Victorian times, people! Creator as Unicron? Um, we didn't see that giant hand with the galaxy like on Nizzi's concept, we actually have seen fragile, partially organic being with 7-finger palm, piloting a giant ship. I have an impression that everyone forgot about AOE completely or hoped naively, that AUDIENCE FORGOT. Aparently not. So, may be they had some ideas from Michael and Steven, but since they both didn't interact with the group MUCH (only 1 time each), but Goldner and Bonaventura instead did, writers perverted all the ideas and messed up all the Movie lore... They tried to make things super complicated or... just build an entire new, more close to cartoons continuity on the old ruins, because they don't want to lose designs and audience  Yes, we may find an explanation for Megatron in Victorian times. But why not develop the things WE ALREADY GOT IN PREVIOUS MOVIES, than create new ones, barelly connected or contradicting to them??? It just make the Movies harder to follow even for us, not mentioning general audience!

 

I'll go back and post all of what can be seen on the timeline

 

And I hate that idea about Witwiccans. Great politicians and scientists are heroes, and TFs are... Who are they? Background dolls? Source for technologies? Walking weapon? No, thanks, I'll stick where AOE ended, where Cybertronians have souls, where they are mighty and wise, Autobots are human friends, defenders for peace, justice and freedom. And all this historical stuff makes the amazing miraclous arrval of Autobots and terrific Decepticons invasion in TF1 as something not specific, ordiary event
