well Hasbro sometimes says WFC is in the Prime continuity...

Its interesting that people compare this to the relatively recent outrage of the first images of Animated. I thought animated looked bad from that image, but that mainly boiled down to me generally not liking the way the picture was drawn.
I love animated now, have a vast majority of all the figures and yet when I look at that pic it still makes me wann barf.
Having not yet looked at these images, I can say that from the previous pics I saw, I think the combined styles might be ok, but I would have preferred a WFC continuation for sure.
As for 'more human drama' .... I might just have to pass thanks. The 'human drama' from animated, especially in the first season were the definite rubbish episodes.
Anyway, aren't we watching Transformers? I wanna see Transformer drama. If I want human drama, I will watch days of out lives!
No toys planned for this either? Meh, I don't see the point of following at the moment. I am not going to buy Movie toys when they aren't the same ones as the ones in the cartoon... Saves me money though I guess.

I don't buy that. I think Hasbro is just trying to shoe horn it in for marketing purposes - I don't think Hasbro's marketing or it's more administrative departments fully understand their own brands beyond the commercial aspects. The developers who are the people who created the game have said that War for Cybertron is G1 and when you play the game, everything points to that.Originally Posted by Gutsman Heavy
It may not be exactly within any pre-existing G1 continuity like Sunbow, Marvel, DW or IDW but it is certainly within it's own take on a 'pre-Earth' G1 continuity.

Most disappointing part of their promo statement highlighted in case anyone missed it.As Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Arcee, Ratchet, and the others "roll out" against Megatron, expect heavy metal action, nail-biting suspense, and more human drama than ever.

More evidence that the Hasbro corporate staff have no freaking clue. I am sure that kids watch Transformers because Transformers are in it, not primarily to watch "More Human Drama".

Unless by human drama they mean they are actually going to have character development and drama like Beast Wars did. Human drama is inherent in all Transformers titles as Transformers display human emotions. Beast Wars had the most human drama of any Transformers series, despite having no proper humans in it.
Of course knowing Hasbro they probably mean it's going to have some stupid kid character(s) and plenty of slapstick.

Based on recent historical trends, I am inclined to think that is what they do mean.

I think the new movie 'Splice' is a good analogy for the look of Transformers Prime. Take two things that, on their own, are great but when you combine their genes you end up with something incredibly ****ed up that is gonna end up biting you in the arse.

Having finally had a look at the pics, I quite like the design of Ratchet especially and most of the others. Bumblebee is a tad too movie-esque for my liking. I dig Cliffjumper though.
In the second lot of pics, with the red car, I query the Fraggle playing in the background....
