Transformers Prime and War for Cybertron

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.

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.

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

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 )

Meh... the WFC game story, from what I've played of it, seems to be it's own continuity based on a generic G1 continuity. I don't try to tie it in with any other contintuity specifically (e.g. G1 cartoon, G1 comics) cos then yeah, you run into massive issues.

Toywise, I consider my "WFC" figures, which Hasbro markets as Generations, as part of Classicsverse.

That's not a bad way to look at WFC. Just like Classics are regarded as Neo G1, WFC can be considered 'Pre-Neo G1.

The common assertion is that Hasbro shoe-horned the game in because it was popular, but the article I linked interviewing Archer and Matt Tieger showed that they made this decision quite some time before the hype train for WFC picked up steam.

Sorry, the game itself and the fiction I have seen/read tell me they are separate. You can quote me Archer () or Tieger (who has also repeatedly said that WFC is G1) all you like and I will still prefer to go by what WFC and TF:Prime tell me from their fiction than some Marketing driven Press release.
