    Yes, totally, irrelevant.

    I already said... Optimus goes through THREE different bodies between Prime and RID2015 and DIED while none of that ever happen in Rescue Bots, he always looks the same and is alive and well for that entire time.

    How is RB a flat nose while Prime is a long nose?

    How is RB flightless while Beast Hunters has wings?

    How is RB still alive while RID2015 is dead?

    How does RB have a removable trailer that has nothing to do with his robot mode while RID2015 has a trailer that literally is his legs.

    How does RB stay exactly the same for four seasons while Prime and RID2015 go through all these changes at the exact same time?

    How is it that Optimus, Bumblebee, and Sideswipe all know that Cybertron has been restored for YEARS and they never tell the Rescue Bots about it till Academy. Originally the Rescue Bots were trying to make Earth their new home because they couldn't go back to Cybertron but by season 3 Cybertron had been restored and the Rescue Bots were NEVER informed, they still thought Cybertron was uninhabitable and they needed to make Earth their new home. They weren't even given the option to go back to Cybertron if they wanted to. Rescue Bots Academy is the first time they're actually aware that Cybertron is habitable again, the first time they've had the ability to go back there even though it had been restored at least 3 years before they were finally told about it. Why they be left on Griffon Rock and not be given the option to go home if they wanted to for YEARS? Why would Optimus LIE TO THEM for YEARS making them think Cybertron was still uninhabitable when it wasn't? That's basically what has to happen for them to be in the same continuity is for the members of team Prime and team Bee to all be ASS HOLES that lie to their friends about the current state of their home planet.

    And? The fact that it takes place on an island means nothing and that's not even entirely true. Rescue Bots Academy was built on the main land, that's not on Griffon Rock. Anyway setting the series in a different location explains nothing. That's just setting it in a different location. Why would traveling from Nevada to Griffon Rock keep changing how Optimus looks? Heck half the time he doesn't even travel there, they video call him while he's still in Nevada. Is Optimus in the habit of completely changing his appearance just to answer the phone?

    The DC Super heroes are all based in different locations and still manage to interact with each other without breaking continuity.

    That was literally the ONLY attempt at trying to connect the shows and it failed because nothing else lines up. Sideswipe INVITED Blurr to join the Bee Team in that episode... And what happens when Blurr shows up on RID2015... Sideswipe tries to force him to leave totally contradicting himself in the other show. Not to mention that Blurr looks completely different between the two shows with a totally different design that looks nothing at all like he came from Rescue Bots.

    If they really wanted those shows to connect the characters need to actually look the same, keep a consistent character motivation, and then they will naturally fall in continuity without having to be told that these two completely different depictions of similar characters are some how suppose to be the same.

    Why does Sideswipe suddenly change from Blurr is my best friend to ugh I hate this guy between shows? It's never explained, it just happens because they're not the same.

    What do you think how long was the time skip between S3 and the movie Predacon Rising?

    Well Predacon's Rising wasn't really a movie. It's a multi part story that is part of season 3 that was also edited together as a single TV "movie" to use the term very loosely here.

    Typically TV movies are always shown and presented that way but Predacons Rising only aired that way ONCE and every time has been presented as mutipart episodes of the series. Transformers has done this several times blurring the lines between what is a movie and what are episodes of the TV series. The three part pilot of Animated was also shown once as a "TV movie" honestly I think these are more like specials where you can see a multi part story all together in a single viewing rather than Part one, wait a week for part two ect. But that's really how they're intended to be watched is in parts.

    Anyway... weird blurry unclear distinctions aside... it really doesn't seem like much time has past at all. Cybertron is still more or less how it was when the human characters left the show. Ratchet coming back when he had previously decided to stay on Earth felt rather pointless as it felt like they literally just said good bye to him and now that good bye is meaningless because he comes back to Cybertron with the rest of the main cast in the very next episode. I feel like that reunion would of had more meaning if it was clear that a lot of time had past between those two episodes, like when Bumblebee reunites with Ratchet on Earth in RID2015 that was more clear that they hadn't seen each other in a very long time. But Ratchet in Predacons Rising was like "I just left you guys, you can't survive 5 minutes without me?" Not literally but that's what it felt like.

    BTW a little off topic but speaking of weird unclear passages of time... I just "Let's Get Dangerous" from the new Duck Tales last night and there's a part where Launchpad tells Gozline that Darkwing hasn't slept in days because he stays up all night trying to find ways to help her. This kind of threw me off because the way the episode is edited it looks like all the events of the episode take place in ONE NIGHT... I guess maybe the scene of Darkwing recieving the key to the city COULD have been days later but there's a scene after that where he mentions catching Gozlin breaking into two locations within 24 hours, location 1 was McDuck Industries and location 2 was Darkwing's own hide out... There's no other cuts in the episode going from night to day so how is it that suddenly Darkwing hasn't slept in days when they only just met 24 hours ago. That doesn't make any sense. That's one day but this sudden revaluation suddenly makes it at least a week. They really should of done more with the animation to show more of a passage of time but the way it's edited makes it look like things are all happening in a single night... Maybe 2 at the most. There's no cuts that imply the passage of days, this just comes out of no where. And Darkwing doesn't even believe that Bulba is a bad guy for half the episode which makes the days with no sleep thing even more confusing.

    Not long enough, because they still managed to put the characters from that shitty Prime cartoon in NuRID.

    Even if Optimus design isn’t consistent in the shows its still the same Optimus from TFP thats in RB. The dialogues & the way his character is written feels just like TFP Optimus. Cant say the same for RID15 it’s embarrassing how they treated him but thats the same Optimus. there may not be a in universe explanation but theres a hasbro explanation “TOO SELL MORE TOYS”
