Jesus fuck, this is awful. Are we going to give lip service to this thing in the fiction articles? [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 23:42, 11 November 2009 (EST)
:No. At least, I don't think there is any reason to. With all of the "it is believed that..." and "it may have come from..."s it sets itself up as an unreliable, in-fiction source. It seems the book has an in-fiction author who doesn't know all of the facts as to what really happened so it doesn't actually retcon anything. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 23:48, 11 November 2009 (EST)
: Well, the "new" information that aren't obviously errors or continuity flubs, we can address. Like the awful sentence about how the Seekers were "special" and that they "ruled the skies and were noble," and how their addition to Megatron's insurgence gave it legitimacy. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 23:53, 11 November 2009 (EST)
::I don't see how that works - they buzzed a crowd, shot up dudes and defaced a building. They're basically just 1950s "biker rebels". Given how bad the "noble" crap is, like that crap from the BW source book, I don't think we even need to consider it. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 23:24, 12 November 2009 (EST)

Something tells me, this is going to be my favorite (funniest) IDW page on this wiki...
:This was Denton's work, wasn't it? --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 01:43, 13 November 2009 (EST)
::Denton had nothing to do with this.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 01:45, 13 November 2009 (EST)
:::I wonder who the hell did this then. Because this is worse than all sixteen issues of AHM combined. --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 11:55, 13 November 2009 (EST)
::::Credits are in the infobox. --[[Special:Contributions/67.226.183.193|67.226.183.193]] 12:02, 13 November 2009 (EST)
:::::Andy Schmidt, the new awesome IDW TF editor. :P
==Title==
Does it include the "The" before "Transformers" or not? [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 00:48, 12 November 2009 (EST)
: Yeah, there's a The there. Dagnabbit, fixing these redirects will be an ordeal. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 00:56, 12 November 2009 (EST)
::Wasn't that difficult, really. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 01:36, 12 November 2009 (EST)

== An apostrophy error if someone has the book handy. ==

I don't have it with me at work, but I remember there was one part where Decepticon's should be Decepticons' if someone can find it.--[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 10:40, 12 November 2009 (EST)

== IDW Forum outburst ==

The IDW thread for Continuum got gutted from half its posts, and DanielW's outburst is gone... --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 22:16, 12 November 2009 (EST)
:The preview or the main release? --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 22:43, 12 November 2009 (EST)
::Pretty sure it was the main release, but don't quote me. I don't frequent IDW's boards very often. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 22:53, 12 November 2009 (EST)
:::I think it was the preview. I was reading page eight of the thread and I hit F5 and I got a "Page not found" notice. So I hit the back button and instead of an 8-page thread it was suddenly a 6-page thread. --[[User:SuzyP|SuzyP]] 23:11, 12 November 2009 (EST)
::::If anybody wants to archive it somewhere, I predicted this would happen so I saved the page where his outburst occurred. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 23:14, 12 November 2009 (EST)
:::::I also have a copy. They can't rewrite reality!--[[User:SuzyP|SuzyP]] 23:17, 12 November 2009 (EST)
::::::I thinks we should archive it and then link it to this page for posterity. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 23:24, 12 November 2009 (EST)
::::::: Do it. Do the shit out of it. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 23:37, 12 November 2009 (EST)
::::::::Who should we send it to? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 01:17, 13 November 2009 (EST)

::::::IDW whitewashing their forums? That never happens! </sarcasm>
::::::What makes this all the more eye-opening is that the mod in question ''used'' to be one of the more sane, reasonable, level-headed mods on the board. So the fact that he apparently snapped is even ''more'' telling than you might think. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 05:43, 13 November 2009 (EST)
:::::::I presume IDW forum moderators are actual IDW IT staff employees, rather than say, fans they chose to reward for their loyalty? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 06:16, 13 November 2009 (EST)
::::::::A combination of IDW employees (not IT staff, though--Tipton, Schmidt, and Ryall are all mods) and fans. DanielW's one of the fan mods. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 06:56, 13 November 2009 (EST)
: I think the forum post got deleted, the link does not go to the page anymore.--[[User:Sunjumper|Sunjumper]] 09:56, 13 November 2009 (EST)
::Strangely, no replies by Denton, Ryall or the oddly-absent Schmidt, even to tell us to shut up. I wonder if even THEY know he fucked up and are ashamed to admit it? Still, this kind of stuff should NOT have passed by 2 editors, no matter what.--[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 10:49, 13 November 2009 (EST)

== New Avengers ==

Is not including it really an error? Seems more like a small mercy to me... --[[User:Magnusblitz|Magnusblitz]] 03:03, 13 November 2009 (EST)
:Hahahaha! --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 06:21, 13 November 2009 (EST)
