    If there was a true mixing of continuities, I could see Beast Megs trying to sway the G1 Preds/Terrorcons/Seacons over to his crew.

    I also like multiverse stories, but I hate it when people who don’t understand how the multiverse works try to do it, and they do something that doesn’t make sense in relation to the previous rules. It’s like when Marvel movies try to say “heh, yeah, this universe is called dimension 616!” As if to say “yeah, we are such nerds! We know what we’re doing!” But it doesn’t really work that way. There’s only one earth 616, and 1610, and so on. That’s why I think with transformers stories they should know what they’re doing a little more before going all in. Recent stuff like Cyberverse and Earthrise tried things that didn’t really work that well in the context of previous rules.

    When exactly in the MCU films ,did any character that should have been “in the know” call their own universe 616?

    In a new continuity if they have humans make a tfp nemesis prime like character, the prototype better be an homage to MP-01.

    more of the thirteen prime should be explored and shown in new media

    So far:
    megatronus and micronus in RID
    Alpha trion in prime and cyberverse
    alchemist in RID
    Prima in cyberverse (as a statue)
    Solus in POTP
    Thirteen in well..everyhting

    we still barely see primes like amalgamous, quintus, nexus, onyx, vector, and leige maximo.

    Hell id love to see quintus prime be used considering he was the creator of the quintessons and seems to be the scientist of the group, idk his design was always intriguing to me

    There was some Easter egg in Loki about him being from Earth-616, and in Spider-Verse (I know it’s not an MCU film in case anyone tries correcting me) all the dimensions had labels referring to them with the numbers of the universes they’re based after. Also there’s just other various mechanics that aren’t really consistent with the usual multiversal rules.

    Have not watched Loki yet so can’t say fir certain but I from everting I’ve read that was an Easter egg seen on a video clip of Loki “primes” life shown to the Loki of the show

    not something to be taken seriously

    and the whole idea to a multiverse is that there really aren’t any rules

    Although it was all a lie, Mysterio says he is from Earth-616 in Far From Home. That's the only reference I can recall, don't remember any from Loki.

    I'm surprised this is a unpopular opinion, because I would love to see a TF cartoon or comic with the characters traveling to different universes and meeting multiple variations of themselves.

    It was mostly just more (less good) FoC, so I was able to get some enjoyment out of that game even if it wasn't that good in retrospect. It brought back Escalation mode IIRC which was one of the most fun modes from WFC so that was good.

    I don't either. The loading times can be a pain, but most of the characterizations and writing are top notch.

    Plus, it has my favorite version of Lockdown in it. I wasn't big on the character before playing this game. I absolutely enjoy the more Bondian-esque approach to Lockdown and I honestly enjoyed Gregg Berger's performance.

    It's also the game that made me actually like Drift as a character, so that's another plus.

    The thing is, FOC set a really high bar, and RotDS was below that bar.

    I'd like to see the champion athlete/medical student background of Marvel UK Optimus revisited some time.

    I love the idea of Autobot-allied human allies piloting mech suits as pilots who join the fight alongside their comrades, or become part of their crew members maintaining their base or ships.

    I think it can make the human characters to be useful in certain scenarios (Like human crew members go to repair their ships, in tight and cramped areas inaccessible by a Transformer), and it can open up more potential for some great human ally characters.

    It's pretty obscure. It's only really a Marvel UK thing, and even then it's probably one of the more obscure bits of Marvel UK. I think it's only brought up in "State Games" and Optimus' Datafile, both of which were in the 1986 Annual. Though the State Games themselves were brought up in the actual comics, I can't ever remember there being an explicit reference to Optimus' history in the comics. I guess the fact that there's not much to it makes me wonder what could be done with it if someone gave it another shot. Just from the way it sounds though, it sounds pretty cool.

    I really liked Coby's custom Scrapmetal mechsuit from Cybertron. A shame he didn't get to use it more often.

    Coby really could've turned out to be one of my favorite human characters, if they had, 1- made him even more useful to the Autobots in the Cobybot, and, 2- not complely erased his loner aspect where he's almost an outcast to his family from GF and used that to build his friendship with Landmine to the point he thinks of him as a surrogate father or uncle.
