[quote=Snowflakian;96307]*well thought-out explanation of TF:Prime's continuity and influences*

Agreed. As I said, Hasbro's original intention was that it was all supposed to be connected in one overall universe going forward. Unfortunately, that is clearly not the case. Well, at least not without some major retconning in future installments in one or more of the three sources (show, game and books).

And that's also a major reason why I choose to consider TF: Prime a stand-alone continuity, like Animated or RiD.

Overall, I'm really only disappointed in the Mattel YJ line up for them using sculpts instead of finished products, and ditto to Jazwares for using packaging samples instead of prototypes or products. It's always underwhelming to see the "we're planning on" stuff as opposed to something that'll represent the final.

Truth.

They said the same thing about both Universe and Animated, that they would both run alongside RotF, but both were cancelled. Months ahead, in the case of Animated.

Well, technically Universe did appear on shelves alongside ROTF. But it was mostly (if not all) redecos of previous molds and store exclusives.

So while I hope they live up to their word, I'm not going to bet on it.
So come October and new waves of generations are still being released with no end in site, I'll be absolutely thrilled to admit that I'm wrong.
As is, movie Powerglide seems to be a reshuffled RtS toy, and the new headed repaints that don't officially "exist," would be increadibly easy to shuffle into future movie waves.

But again... by the goddess belldandy... pleaseletmebewrongpleaseletmebewrongpleaseletmebew rong.

I hope we still see new molds for Generations in October as well. But it could end up the same as Universe. Hasbro did only say it would continue through this year.
