Talk:Rust Age

Is this distinct from the Age of Rust? --Emvee (talk) 12:51, 2 November 2016 (EDT)

Yes. Grum (talk) 13:00, 2 November 2016 (EDT)

Then this article should probably specifically point out that distinction. --M Sipher (talk) 13:07, 2 November 2016 (EDT)

If Ultra Magnus's line of "Blow these beasts back to the Rust Age," from the episode is the only thing we have to go on for this article, then I really don't think that that line is informative enough to declare this nebulous "Rust Age" he offhandedly mentions as being the age in which the Predacons ruled Cybertron. Meanwhile, we have this other whole book that is thoroughly detailed on the near-complete history of all of Uniend Cybertron's prewar ages, in which it specifies the "Age of Evolution" as the age in which the ancient Predacons reigned on Cybertron, and which also goes on to cover a very similarly-named "Age of Rust" that came later in Cybertronian history, but which still occurred far enough back in the prewar days to be looked on in the present day of the Prime cartoon as a very long time ago in the past. Plus, we know both the Prime cartoon makers and the Covenant's author both drew inspiration from the Binder of Revelation for their respective works, so as it's very likely that the "Rust Age" mentioned in the cartoon came from the Binder, the "Age of Rust" described in the Covenant is likewise very likely to have both come from the Binder and be the very same thing that the cartoon used from the Binder to create the "Rust Age" reference that Magnus speaks of. Therefore, I find myself leaning more towards a merge between "Rust Age" and "Age of Rust" than I do towards keeping them separate if the only reason we're doing so is because of one vague, detail-less line of dialogue. --Sabrblade (talk) 01:25, 3 November 2016 (EDT)
