Possibly this. I mean, doesn't anyone else find it odd that a bunch of the ancient Primes resemble The Fallen/have Egyptian-like headdresses, while Optimus and Sentinel look more humanoid? I'm thinking those two are from a younger generation belonging to the additional 6.
No you are the only one who noticed it. We are bad in math. You can clearly see 7 Primes on my signature, I have no idea about other 6. So what if they are reffering as brothers, she is clearly outnumbered. There are lot of threads about this. We know 7 names of primes. It's them. Or Bay is misinformed.
ROTF was made before we all knew of Solus Prime, also Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Ehren Kruger are the ones who wrote the movie, so they are the ones misinformed if Solus is indeed one of the 7
Hasbro awnsred my pm about who are the primes seen in ROTF, besides Prime and Fallen They dont know yet who the Primes that we saw in the movies Are
Hasbro answered a PM from you? Hasbro have an account here on TFW to PM? ROTF continuity does not encompass and all TF fiction, just because it's the only TF continuity you personally watch doesn't mean that this stands the same for the rest of us/other continuities. I believe in the Movieverse there's 7 Primes, wherever else it's implied there's 13, if any.
Truth be told, I would not take that as definitive on any level, the people who handle those things are desk monkeys that probably don't even know Aaron Archer's name, or for that manner, the name of either red car in the TFP series. Don't assume that just because someone works for Hasbro that they are in the know. I doubt even Goldner knows everything about the franchise. To think that the seven Primes are anybody but the seven Karhukjnsi listed is quite silly.
Even if they were retconned in, seven Primes there are now. But I must admit, I had hoped that one of the "Primes" would be the "beast former" and had "Primal" in his name.
I believe that the 7 original TFs with "Prime" in their name ventured to the movieverse, with the other 6 staying behind in their other universe/s.
They're multiversal singularities, they can exist in multiple universes at the same time. The seven "Primes" are dead in the Bayverse. The other six remain unknown.
No such thing. They tried that with Unicron, too, but thankfully backed out of it. Such an awful concept. They need to let separate continuities be separate.
I say what is shown in the movies takes precedence over any other material as far as movie canon is concerned. The movie says there were seven original Primes, not thirteen. Seven it is. Also, I have to agree with the opinion that the idea of multiversal singularities is awful.
