Vector Sigma / Transmetal Driver

What is this Anglophone continuity?

Anglophone = English language.
i.e. American, British and Canadian.

Shokoract I'm dubious of as he's been used twice now: In BotCon and IDW BW. He can't be in both if both are accepted as 'canon'.

Well, Transformers canon has always contradicted itself, ever since the beginning. BotCon continuity is more in line with the cartoon continuity whereas IDW continuity has more conflicts with it and is sort of a "splinter" continuity if you will (much like how the Japanese anime continuity was a splinter off American G1 cartoon continuity).

This term 'canon' is held with too much regard in my opinion.

I'll agree to disagree with you on that.

You've officially coined the term Vernoverse.

Hurrah!

So Primus is officially dead in all continuities? And the All Spark is something different and seperate from his 'spirit' or 'essence'?

Primus died in the Marvel Comic continuity - which was where He originated from. Because Beast Wars is really a continuation of the G1 continuity family and not any specific G1 continuity itself (i.e. BW draws elements from various G1 sources like the cartoon, comics etc, despite the fact that they're disparate continuities; BW treats them as the same), it's difficult to pinpoint precisely where Primus stands in the Beast Wars universe. But one would assume that Primus was no longer around considering that when Unicron attacked Cybertron and Vector Sigma, Primus did nothing. Also, Vector Sigma was proclaiming itself as "God of Transformers" - thus presumably taking stewardship/custodianship of Cybertron in Primus' stead.

Primus originally didn't exist in any other continuity outside of the Marvel Comics and Beast Wars... but 2005's Transformers Cybertron has since retconned Primus as a multiversal singularity, so if you want, you could draw Primus from another G1 source (e.g. the cartoon) and use that... since Primus was never killed in the G1 cartoon. Mind you, trying to expand on Primus' existence in the G1 cartoon can be very problematic! But there are other G1 sources other than the comics or the cartoon that you can draw on; they're just the most prominent sources.

Or you could just retcon G1 yourself, since ya know... it's the Vernoverse.

Come on, they're Gods. Surely as they recover from previous encounters and gain strength they'd bust through that glass ceiling and back onto the Astral Plane. A God isn't a God unless he's sitting on a white fluffy cloud looking down on everyone.

Actually the God of Abraham is unusual amongst Gods. He's more like a Super God. If you look at most Gods in other religions, they're not all supremely powerful, flawless and indestructible like the God of Abraham. Or Chuck Norris^Drift. Gods in a more Classical sense can be defeated - just not usually by mortals. Look at how the Titans were overthrown by the Olympians.

(I'm an atheist myself, so thats slightly tongue in cheek)

Perhaps because you have yet to discover the irrefutable facts of the One True Faith

Just wait til it's published by IDW (or whoever has the TF rights at the time). Then it WILL be canon!

Bring it!
