Talk:Prime timeline

Similar to how we did one for IDW, this would be a pretty good way to bottom-line how Prime is a new continuity, and highlight the elements it takes from past ones.

From how far I've read through Exodus right now, the main transplanted things I see are:

• The War of the Primes, where Megatronus rebels and becomes the Fallen.
• The Golden Age of Cybertron, where a Galaxy Force style colonization occurs, but is eventually abandoned along with the space bridge network that drove it.
• The Elite Guard, the pre-war unit from which Sentinel (Zeta) Prime emerged.
• The AllSpark, and Bumblebee's facing of Megatron at Tyger Pax so that Optimus Prime could jettison it into space, at the cost of Bumblebee's voicebox.

So what do you guys think? Do we have enough info to start working on this? Yeah Exodus is kind of painful to read, but it's also fairly information-dense.--Rosicrucian^Talk 14:11, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

Will the WFC video game be included in this? The events are generally very similar, but doesn't fit precisely due to, I presume, Hasbro tweaking the storyline while High Moon were stuck with an earlier draft. --FFN 14:16, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

I feel like it would be better to wait for the TV show so we can see if it more closely hews to Exodus or WFC, or neither.

Judging by the timeline just put up on the official Hasbro Transformers site, I think we can basically guarantee that the Exodus timeline will win out, other than the use of Zeta instead of Sentinel. From all accounts, Exodus was written from the Prime backstory bible. --ItsWalky 14:45, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

However, Hasbro also says we should play the game to find out what happens next. --FFN 00:14, 6 July 2010 (EDT)

On a side note, should we name the articles just "Prime" or "Transformers: Prime (franchise)", "Transformers: Prime (cartoon)" and so on? --FFN 00:13, 6 July 2010 (EDT)
