	* There seems to be a bit of a discrepancy between the properties of the Dark Energon seen in the ''Exodus'' novel/''War for Cybertron'' video games and the Dark Energon seen in the ''Transformers: Prime'' cartoon. In the novel, Dark Energon is referred to as the "Sparks of Unicron" and acts as an addictive, drug-like power up used by the Decepticons. The ''War for Cybertron'' video games portray Dark Energon in a similar manner, but to a less-detailed extant. However, in the ''Transformers: Prime'' cartoon, Dark Energon is called the "'''Blood''' of Unicron" and acts as a reanimator of the dead, turning its host cadavers into savage, mindless beasts. While the Dark Energon of the games/novel seems to require a living vessel to accommodate it (as, whenever a "Darkened" Decepticon would die in the book, its Dark Energon would leave that corpse behind and pass on to another living Con), the Dark Energon of the cartoon practically ''thrives'' on the deceased. Is there an any official distinction between the "Sparks of Unicron" Dark Energon seen in the games/book and the "Blood of Unicron" Dark Energon seen in the ''Prime'' cartoon? Are they unique variants of Dark Energon with different properties? --[[User:Sabrblade\|Sabrblade]] 02:26, 20 January 2011 (EST)		* There seems to be a bit of a discrepancy between the properties of the Dark Energon seen in the ''Exodus'' novel/''War for Cybertron'' video games and the Dark Energon seen in the ''Transformers: Prime'' cartoon.

	* Sorta the same as above but maybe a bit more generally phrased: Hasbro has insisted that the War for Cybertron, the Exodus novel, and your cartoon are in the same "universe." Yet while similar in a general sense all three contradict each other frequently on minor and some very major story points. What are your feelings on these contradictions and your shows connection to the other two? Do you consider all three the same exact universe or are they more akin to alternate versions of the same story? --[[User:ZacWilliam\|ZacWilliam]] 17:53, 18 January 2011 (EST)		* Sorta the same as above but maybe a bit more generally phrased: Hasbro has insisted that the War for Cybertron, the Exodus novel, and your cartoon are in the same "universe."

Are they unique variants of Dark Energon with different properties? --[[User:Sabrblade\|Sabrblade]] 02:26, 20 January 2011 (EST)		* There seems to be a bit of a discrepancy between the properties of the Dark Energon seen in the ''Exodus'' novel/''War for Cybertron'' video games and the Dark Energon seen in the ''Transformers: Prime'' cartoon. In the novel, Dark Energon is referred to as the "Sparks of Unicron" and acts as an addictive, drug-like power up used by the Decepticons. The ''War for Cybertron'' video games portray Dark Energon in a similar manner, but to a less-detailed extant. However, in the ''Transformers: Prime'' cartoon, Dark Energon is called the "'''Blood''' of Unicron" and acts as a reanimator of the dead, turning its host cadavers into savage, mindless beasts. While the Dark Energon of the games/novel seems to require a living vessel to accommodate it (as, whenever a "Darkened" Decepticon would die in the book, its Dark Energon would leave that corpse behind and pass on to another living Con), the Dark Energon of the cartoon practically ''thrives'' on the deceased. Is there an any official distinction between the "Sparks of Unicron" Dark Energon seen in the games/book and the "Blood of Unicron" Dark Energon seen in the ''Prime'' cartoon? Are they unique variants of Dark Energon with different properties? --[[User:Sabrblade\|Sabrblade]] 02:26, 20 January 2011 (EST)

	* Sorta the same as above but maybe a bit more generally phrased: Hasbro has insisted that the War for Cybertron, the Exodus novel, and your cartoon are in the same "universe." Yet while similar in a general sense all three contradict each other frequently on minor and some very major story points. What are your feelings on these contradictions and your shows connection to the other two? Do you consider all three the same exact universe or are they more akin to alternate versions of the same story? --[[User:ZacWilliam\|ZacWilliam]] 17:53, 18 January 2011 (EST)		* Sorta the same as above but maybe a bit more generally phrased: Hasbro has insisted that the War for Cybertron, the Exodus novel, and your cartoon are in the same "universe."

	* The high-quality animation you've created for the show must require a lot of work.
