Micron Legend, Superlink, and Galaxy Force

In order to fully create the monstrosity I've seen referred to as 'Frankenprime,' it's necessary to have the upside down wings. FYI, Frankenprime involves leaving both arms in cab mode, attaching the wings, then attaching two Leobreakers (or, in my case, one Leo and one Nemesis Breaker), and balancing Wing Sabre on top so the chest piece goes where it's supposed to. Don't have any pics at the moment, but it's fun trying to get everything to balance.

I prefer the underarm configuration, but either one is good.

It's nice to not have half the show dedicated to each character transforming, and have some TF's that can show some emotion and character.

Just so that I can finally say it somewhere...

One major issue/problem that lead to that was the fact that with a common threat and all coming on from the very beginning of the series, its way too easy to get all the characters get united in the same goal, leaving a lot of their possible character out of it (less chances at disagreeing and arguing and therefore character chemistry, as they are concentrated at the single issue at hand)

Was I able to show my point there?

The rest of the stuff that you mention was all created by Hasbro so they could sell more toys in the line. It was never a part of the plot. More a backstory to explain why certain toys came to be and to loosely tie them in.

Botcon 2006 Hasbro panel. Some of the planets Hasbro conceptualised was a junk planet (which later evolved into Gigantion) and a war planet.

In a school project.. yes. In a international business relationship with millions at stake.. no

Takara belongs OUT of Transformers... Period. Don't let them near the story again, and only pay them to engineer. Outside of that.. no...

I'm wondering. In Micron Legend, why does Convoy release his Matrix before fighting Megatron at episode 52?
Is Grand Convoy the same Convoy from Micron Legend? If so, how did he change? He does have a different voice actor from the previous series.
In Galaxy Force, why was the Chip Square in the Atlantis ship instead of any of the other three ancient ships?

No, all of the Convoys are supposed to be different characters. In the US all of the Primes are the same character but upgraded for each series

Because the Autobots needed a way to find the Cyber Planet keys after Megatron stole Vector Prime's map. If it wasn't there, then the Autobots would loose, and the Universe would be gobbled up by episode 9.

That's not right at all. Convoy from Micron Legend and Grand Convoy from Super Link are definitely the same character - their relationships with all the existing characters are the same, he talks about how Hot Shot served under him in the past, his rivalry with Megatron remains intact. Galaxy Convoy from Galaxy Force, on the other hand... well, *originally*, when the series was treated as another reboot, he was a new character, but it's since been retconned back into being part of the Micron-Superlink timeline, so he's *probably* the same guy.

Hello guys, I am great fan of Japanese TF's series but I it seems I have been far from info too much time.

For what I undestand, now Galaxy Force fits in the normal TF's continuity in Japan? Can anybody explain me how is the new continuity now? Is there any source for this? THanks! I ahve recently got a new Japanese continuity line but it doesn't say anything about Micron, Superlink (my favorite one) anf Galaxy Force.

Takara retroactively placed Galaxy Force into their Micron Legend/Superlink timeline via their website:

Hover your mouse over the tabs labeled "Chronicle 2" (in Japanese, of course...they're at the bottom).
