&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Nav-Prime}}&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Transformers: Prime&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; [[franchise]] that launched in the year 2010. It spirals out of the novel &#039;&#039;[[Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron|Transformers: Exodus]]&#039;&#039;, based on the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: War for Cybertron| War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039; video game. &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s main manifestation will be the upcoming [[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|&#039;&#039;Transformers: Prime&#039;&#039; cartoon]] on the new [[The Hub|Hub]] network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; franchise featured the following primary components:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Transformers: Prime (comic)|Comic books]]&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|A cartoon series]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Transformers: Prime&#039;&#039; represents a concerted effort on Hasbro&#039;s part to imagine a new &amp;quot;aligned continuity&amp;quot; from the ground up that includes all the facets they feel worked best from past universes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfviews.com/news/main/hasbro-q-and-a/1024 TF Views June 2010 Q&amp;amp;A]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Given this, it is not surprising to find that it borrows heavily from [[Generation 1 (franchise)|G1]], [[Live-action film series|the live-action movies]] and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]&#039;&#039;, among others. Their plans are for the &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; universe to last several years, unlike the constant reboots of the 2000s.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Archer and Tieger&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/tfw2005-war-for-cybertron-interview-with-aaron-archer-and-matt-tieger-168910/ 2009 TFW2005 interview with Aaron Archer and Matt Tieger]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To this end, they have created an extensive, 350-page continuity bible for writers in the new continuity to follow.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/botcon-2010-transformers-prime-panel-coverage-170054/ BotCon 2010 coverage at TFW2005]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most excitingly, this continuity family began unraveling the mystery of the [[thirteen original Transformers]] in &#039;&#039;Exodus&#039;&#039;, as stated in Hasbro&#039;s [[Hasbro Q&amp;amp;A/May 2010: Answers|May 2010 Q&amp;amp;A]]. At [[BotCon 2010]], redesigns of five of the 13 were shown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Continuity family==&lt;br /&gt;
*The continuity includes the character [[bio]]s from the &#039;&#039;[[Transformers Hall of Fame]]&#039;&#039; (with the possible exception of [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]]), &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;[[Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]&#039;&#039;. Hasbro&#039;s official [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/movie-news/Transformers-War-for-Cybertron.cfm War for Cybertron] timeline places the events of the &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; after the events of the &#039;&#039;Exodus&#039;&#039; novel.&lt;br /&gt;
*Despite the concerted effort to organize the new continuity, &#039;&#039;Exodus&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; are very incompatible versions of a similar story, creating two separate universes for the continuity right from the start. Regardless, in a preview of the game it was mentioned the game was to serve as a &#039;&#039;basis&#039;&#039; for the new continuity,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Archer and Tieger&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; and &#039;&#039;Exodus&#039;&#039; can be considered an [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdaptationExpansion adaptation expansion]. (It probably doesn&#039;t help that poor editing left &#039;&#039;Exodus&#039;&#039; self-contradictory on a good number of backstory points.) The &#039;&#039;Prime&#039;&#039; cartoon uses elements of the two for its backstory and plot, such as [[Dark Energon]], Cybertron being abandoned and Megatron and Prime being old mates, but hasn&#039;t put itself &#039;&#039;directly&#039;&#039; in continuity with either yet: consider them variations of the same basic story. &lt;br /&gt;
*In questions from the [[Hasbro Q&amp;amp;A/September 2010|September 2010 Hasbro Q&amp;amp;A]] regarding the [[thirteen original Transformers|original 13]], Hasbro has stated &amp;quot;Anything you know from past generations of the brand may or may not be factual in the new continuity&amp;quot;. Nothing prior to the modern continuity can be counted on as being true for this continuity, which apparently includes previously revealed backstory for members of the original 13. In particular, [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] will not have Multiverse jumping powers and there will be only one [[Megatronus|The Fallen]] in the modern continuity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Aaron Archer]] stated at [[BotCon 2010]] that he wasn&#039;t particularly happy with &amp;quot;Prime&amp;quot; as the name of the new continuity family, but did not yet have a better option to offer. He had considered recommending &amp;quot;Epochs,&amp;quot; only to conclude it wasn&#039;t really better after all. In the [[Hasbro Q&amp;amp;A/October 2009|October 2009 Hasbro Q&amp;amp;A]] with The Allspark forum, they referred to the 13&#039;s story as an &amp;quot;epoch&amp;quot;. Answers to [[Hasbro Q&amp;amp;A/September 2010|Hasbro&#039;s September 2010 Q&amp;amp;A]] refer to it as the &amp;quot;modern continuity&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*In the September 2010 Hasbro investor webcast, it was mentioned the show&#039;s products would be hitting the shelf in October 2011. &#039;&#039;War for Cybertron&#039;&#039; designs were released in the [[Generations (toyline)|Generations]] toyline.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Transformers: War for Cybertron&#039;&#039;&#039; is a series of video games published by [[Activision Blizzard|Activision]] and developed by [[High Moon Studios]], [[Next Level Games]] and [[Vicarious Visions]], set before the Transformers take their war to [[Earth]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The developers saw themselves as creating a prequel to the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]], and as such, the look and story of the game is steeped in Generation 1 and its lore.{{Fact|date=January 2011}} [[Hasbro]], however, made it part of the foundation for their new &amp;quot;modern continuity&amp;quot;,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Archer and Tieger&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/video-games-17/tfw2005-war-for-cybertron-interview-with-aaron-archer-and-matt-tieger-168910/ 2009 TFW2005 interview with Aaron Archer and Matt Tieger]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;The official story of the original 13 and specifically Alpha Trion has not been explored fully in the modern continuity that Transformers War for Cybertron, Exodus, and Prime are a part of.&amp;quot; [[Hasbro Q&amp;amp;A/September 2010: Answers]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  beginning with &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Transformers: Prime]]&#039;&#039;. The novel &#039;&#039;[[Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron]]&#039;&#039;, adapts the game&#039;s events, presenting a version of the story that draws on elements from all across Transformers history in accordance with the new [[production bible]] Hasbro has produced to guide this new [[continuity family]]&#039;s writers. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/botcon-2010-transformers-prime-panel-coverage-170054/ BotCon 2010 coverage at TFW2005]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Transformer references==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Steve Blum]] does his best [[Victor Caroli]] impression for his role of the narrator.&lt;br /&gt;
* A variety of callbacks to &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
** Ironhide greets the space slug with the [[universal greeting]], to Warpath&#039;s confusion.&lt;br /&gt;
** In the Kaon prison, an Autobot is pronounced guilty and pushed off a gantry into a pit. He responds with &amp;quot;Spare me this mockery of justice!&amp;quot;, quoting [[Kranix]] during his trial on [[Quintessa]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Rumble repeats another line from the movie: &amp;quot;First we crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
** When Starscream declares himself as Decepticon leader, Megatron retorts that &amp;quot;[he] still function[s].&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Punch of Kill Everything]] is a multiplayer Leader Class ability and a Soldier class upgrade.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Skywarp calls Thundercracker ugly he replies [[Seeker (body-type)|that they look the same]]. [[The Twins|Hmmm.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Stan Bush]]&#039;s [[BotCon 2007]] theme song, &amp;quot;[[Till All Are One (Transformers Theme)]]&amp;quot; is used in the credits, and the special thanks describe the families that were involved &amp;quot;rock like Stan Bush&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Air Raid pokes fun at Silverbolt&#039;s fear of heights.&lt;br /&gt;
* The in-game menu for stat tracking and leaderboards is called [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan 1]].&lt;br /&gt;
* When Ironhide asks Optimus how he knows Megatron, Optimus replies that it is a story for another time.&lt;br /&gt;
*Pretty much all the Achievement/Trophy names are references to other parts of Transformers history, mostly G1.&lt;br /&gt;
** The ones for completing the campaign chapters include [[Dark Awakening]], [[Starscream&#039;s Brigade]], [[A Prime Problem]], [[The Last Prime]], [[The Touch|You Got The Touch]], [[The War Within]], and [[&#039;Til all are one|Till All Are One]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Gameplay names include [[Thief in the Night]], [[Fire in the Sky]], [[Unicron|Chaos Bringer]], [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster!]], [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator!]], [[Bruticus (G1)|Brute-a-kiss!]], [[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]], [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide Performer]], [[Rumble (G1)|First we crack the shell...]], [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blast-a-rachnia]] and [[Ramhorn (G1)|Ramhorn]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Autobots and Decepticons alike are heard to swear by &#039;[[Primus]]&#039;, confirming his &#039;existence&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Trypticon has a &#039;conversion cog&#039; that controls his transformation, and is probably a less &#039;branded&#039; term for G1&#039;s [[transformation cog]].&lt;br /&gt;
* The energon cubes bear strong resemblance to the [[Allspark]] cube.&lt;br /&gt;
* The game&#039;s Rocket Turret, when ripped from its mounting, is named the &amp;quot;[[Nucleon]] Shock Cannon&amp;quot; on the HUD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Toy tie-ins==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Hasbro]] has confirmed that several toys will be made to tie into the promotion of the video game. These include figures of Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Megatron and Soundwave. At [[Toy Fair 2010]], they were confirmed to be part of the [[Generations (toyline)|&#039;&#039;Generations&#039;&#039; toyline]]. At [[BotCon 2010]] they said they would like to make more, and that Starscream (and likely other Seekers) are at the top of the list if they decide to produce more figures from the game.&lt;br /&gt;

==Operation Transmission Recovery==&lt;br /&gt;
As an early marketing campaign, the game&#039;s website included the feature &amp;quot;Operation Transmission Recovery&amp;quot;: using transmission and coordinate dials, you could pick up &amp;quot;transmissions&amp;quot; from Cybertron (or &amp;quot;video clips/images&amp;quot; to you and me).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are two dials, blue (outer) and yellow (inner). Using your mouse, you can drag the dial to set coordinates. The blue dial is set by aligning it to marks on the outer circle. When aligned, it becomes a blue ring. After that, the yellow dial is set so that signal strength is full, as indicated by a meter on the right. Once a transmission is unlocked its symbol lights up and the &amp;quot;Total Recovered&amp;quot; amount increases a little bit. When you reach 100%, it tells you how many hours remain until next batch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of January 12, 2010, the following transmissions (Batch 9), almost all of which are part of the second trailer (link below), were available:&lt;br /&gt;
