    Who cares ?!?!?! Lets just be grateful that the Transformers franchise is still pumping out new products for us to enjoy. I don't give 2 hoots if WFC is G1 or TFP. All I care about is that it's a fun Transformers computer game with a story I find interesting and I enjoy playing (except for the spider bots)

    Sure the continuity goes out of whack from time to time but things could be worse. We could be Go-bots fans.
    HATRED FOR JAMES VAN DER BEEK RISING!

    Still have some stuff for sale. Free pickup at Parra Fair

    Is this a bad time to mention that I've just finished downloading the Gobots/Rocklords movie?
    (I really have )

    I agree Bartrim, like I said they're black and white with a little bit of grey - at the end of the day they're both kickarse pieces of Media and I for one like them both.
    Continuity has never been a Transformers strong point, why worry now? Hasbro never know what they're doing half the time - just look at the Classicsverse mess.

    I actually have that on VHS... still wrapped up... and I only paid 2 bucks at a Lifeline book sale. Still too scared to watch it. LOL

    I'm a quarter of the way through watching it, nothing terribly inspiring yet.

    All I remember from watching that movie was being really young and pretending that my G2 Hooligan was Leader 1.
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    All I had were vague memories of the Rocklords, I'd seen a couple of Challenge of The Gobots episodes before so that was nothing new.
    I just wanted to see the movie again and gee, not particularly impressive to say the least - just an elongated episode really.

    Not at all, I remembergoing to the video store when DVDs were first coming out and deliberately hunting it down to watch

    I think the Game of WFC is concentrarted on G1, but it could be kind of adapted loosely to TF:Prime. The novel however of WFC makes a lot more sense to be a prequel to Prime, as opposed to a side-story/version to the game. It just made no sense that so many things clashed from book to game, and I was reading the book while playing through the game. I might go and read the book again, and I might enjoy the book a bit more.

    (is this what this discussion is about? I can't be bothered lookin through the first link ;p )

    I agree wholeheartedly. I am glad Transformers has lasted this long, and continuing to do so, and releasing stuff we buy. And of late, they are really effin awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on these new figures. I haven't really said that since, well never. The games for DS were great, full of continuity problems, but I played them for fun, not continuity.

    And Prime, it's Transformers. I haven't been excited about watching a new show since Beast Wars. The fact that Prime is not following exactly the same lines as G1, doesn't phase me. Something new is a good thing. And honestly, if it did, it would kinda bore me.

    But Seriously *no pun intended* you are right as fun is the fundamental reason to enjoy any TF series and it doesn't really matter what continuity Hasbro says it's in as long as you like it.

    I personally like some stability when it comes to continuity although I am very tolerant of gaps and errors or I wouldn't be a TF fan. However trying to artificially 'marry' different continuities is a bit odd but in my view, who cares about what Hasbro says. I go for what the game was designed to be and both it's creators and the game itself tell me it's G1 so I choose to go with that.
