Yet, while similar in a general sense, all three contradict each other on both minor and major story points.

What are your feelings on these contradictions and your show's connection to ''Exodus'' and ''War for Cybertron''?

			# Question: If Cybertron had already been infected with Dark Energon in War For Cybertron/Exodus, how was Megatron able to reinfect it in Transformers: Prime? Why did the Transformers act like they had never encountered Dark Energon before? Is there an any official distinction between the "Sparks of Unicron" Dark Energon (game/book) and the "Blood of Unicron" Dark Energon seen in the Prime cartoon? Are they unique variants of Dark Energon with different properties; a different kind of Dark Energon, or will we discover that this Dark Energon has these other aforementioned properties as well? Basically any clarification you could provide on Dark Energon would be great!

			# Can we get some sort of guide explaining precisely how "War for Cybertron" and "Prime" are connected? For fans watching the show the relationship between the two isn't very clear- especially in the drastic change of character designs- with the exception of Megatron's continued use of Dark Energon.

	# Transformers: Prime is set to begin by the end of November on the Hub, when can we expect to get our first official look at the toy line? Transformers: Animated's toy line seemed to stumble a bit by having the toy line come out quite some time after the show began and it seems to have plagued the tail end of the line to this day. What can Hasbro do to prevent history from repeating itself?
	# We have seen you make a couple of different Headmaster and Targetmaster characters over the last few waves, notably Nightbeat and Highbrow, and a couple years ago with Cyclonus and his Targetmaster sidekick. The Headmaster characters were just straight robots with no separate character that turned into the head. Are there plans to re-introduce the Headmaster concept and not just the characters, like you did with Cyclonus and hopefully will do with upcoming Scourge and Kup?

# What went into the overall look for TRANSFORMERS: PRIME? We see hints of the designs from the live-action movies, as well as influences from other incarnations.

# Enjoyed the five-part premiere. PRIME is definitely a more adult take on the Transformers mythos - zombie Transformers, the death of a major character, lots of intense action... Along those lines, what do you see the boundaries of the show being in terms of violence and content? Other than language, of course.
