===Dicussion Points===
===Continuity errors===
* The profile card for the "Dawn of Future's Past" version of Generation 1 [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] says that after the defeat of the Decepticons in the Great War, he led the nascent Predacon faction against the Autobots until the Tripredacus Council seemingly assassinated him. In addition, [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]] appears alive in "Dawn of Future's Past", and the profile card for "Dawn of Future's Past" [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] says that Divebomb recruited Ravage to the Predacons. Here, however, Razorclaw's entire team is killed off by Predacus in the final battle of the Great War before any of that can happen.
* The stasis pods in this story are labeled with the names of the characters inside, whereas the pods in the show weren't (with the obvious exception of [[Rampage (BW)|Protoform X]]).  It's possible that this is simply a change that occurred over the next 300 years, but why?
* The death of [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], a being composed of black, yellow, and red mammals and birds, is commemorated with... a purple insect face?


* Larry DiTillio had differing views on the origins of Tarantulas and the Tripredacus Council and, through the creation of Transmatter, Unicronian technology as well as G2 tech is used in part to unlock First Generation Transformers. How Marvel G2 and Sunbow G1 continuity can co-exist is unclear but was never clear how Marvel G1 and Sunbow G1 events were both referenced in Beast Wars itself.
====Contentious continuity====
* Ironhide and Prowl are alive at this point in the story despite their death in [[Transformers: The Movie]]. Ironhide makes reference to his return from the dead but not how. Returning from the dead is not without precedent in Transformers fiction however and both Ironhide and Prowl were established as being back as part of Magnaboss in Beast Wars.
To put it ''very'' mildly, this story was controversial within the fandom--aside from the admittedly subjective "BW isn't supposed to be all about G1" complaints, many fans perceived it as stomping all over the continuity it was supposed to fit into like, well, a combiner stomping on Waspinator.  Some of these issues have their origins in plot points that author John-Paul Bove had in mind but either didn't have time for or didn't realize were unclear, which he has gone on to clarify [http://wordmongerer.tumblr.com/post/142758963250/this-past-weekend-my-first-transformers-story on his Tumblr].  Bove has stated that the story was originally meant to be part of a mini-series set after "The Rebirth," so presumably some or all of these points would have been clearer in that context.
* The author has stated that the story was originally part of a mini series that would feature events following G1 Season 4 and the return of Galvatron and the end of the Golden Age. Pretender and Micromaster technology would have been shown.
* Many of the characters are not wearing faction symbols. The author has stated that clear factions (especially on the Decepticon side) had fallen down post the events of Season 4 and not every future Maximal and Predacon is an Autobot and Decepticon at the time of the story though they may be supporters/sympathisers. <ref>http://wordmongerer.tumblr.com/post/142758963250/this-past-weekend-my-first-transformers-story </ref>
*Unit-3 is asked to fill some big shoes and later becomes one of the legs and feet of Magnaboss.


*Rattrap seems to ''nickname'' Optimus Primal within a scene in this book making reference both to his resemblance to Optimus Prime and to mock their mission from the Primal Council.
* This story predates the existence of Maximals and Predacons, and there is no indication that any sort of downsizing has taken place yet, yet the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' is already in service, apparently scaled to G1-era Transformers.
*Primal tells Rattrap (as yet unnamed) to shut his "trap" as a possible nod to his future name he gives himself in Beast Wars Part 1.
** According to Bove, after the downsizing, G1-scaled ships and buildings were retrofitted to suit smaller inhabitants. In particular, each deck of the ''Axalon'' would have been split into several smaller ones, making it a "larger" ship from the Maximals' point of view.
*This story predates the existence of Maximals and Predacons, and there is no indication that any sort of downsizing has taken place yet. According to the author ships like the ''Axalon'' as well as many buildings were scaled to Generation 1-sized Transformers and then retrofitted post war to accommodate more decks and smaller inhabitants. <ref>http://wordmongerer.tumblr.com/post/142758963250/this-past-weekend-my-first-transformers-story </ref>
* Protoforming technology is established as a weapon of war, with stasis pods as a form of life support for its victims. Optimus Primal takes possession of some of these stasis pods (stating that he'll "do what we can for them"), implying that the stasis pods said to contain his Maximal crew on the cartoon are actually a bunch of protoformed Autobots and Decepticons he's been carrying around in his ship for 300 years and that the blank protoform who becomes his new body from "[[Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)]]" onward is actually somebody's corpse.
* Many Maximals and Predacons from the cartoon, plus some who didn't appear in the cartoon, existed concurrently with some of the Autobots and Decepticons of old, including several major Generation 1 characters. However, only BW Megatron has any real interaction with Decepticons and Autobots.
** Bove writes that this was only meant to be the ''beginning'' of protoform and stasis pod technology, and by the time of the cartoon it would have evolved into the usage the cartoon suggested, with only ''some'' of the ''Axalon'''s pods being old Autobots and Decepticons (the rest having been restored to their old selves).
*Many who eventually ended up in the Beast Wars were present at the end of the Great War, with some playing rather prominent roles during the war's end:
* The sight of Generation 1 Inferno becoming a protoform which is then labeled as (naturally) "Inferno" suggests that his protoform became [[Inferno (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Inferno]].  Which wouldn't really be a continuity error, but it ''would'' be incredibly stupid.
**''Beast Wars'' Megatron seizes a role of authority following Galvatron's demise, bossing Predaking around.
** Bove stated at [[BotCon 2016]] that this was was deliberately left open to the reader's interpretation, and that he hasn't ruled out G1 Inferno's return if the story were to be continued.
**Tigatron and Airazor are incredibly important Autobots, to the point that Prowl says that Tigatron is "respected by all sides for his desire for peace," sending him as an emissary to the Decepticons due to his widespread reputation. This echos his later personality traits when awoken on prehistoric Earth and he would again be sent as an emissary by the Vok.
* There appears to be at least one of Ravage's transwarp cruiser, which will be "experimental" 300 years later, flying around.
*Protoforming technology is established as initially a weapon of war. Stasis pods (or a similar technology - see Continuity Errors) were initially used as a form of life support for Autobots and Decepticons who were critically damaged by [[transmatter]] the [[Tripredacus Council]] members weapon derived in part from [[Unicron]], with "protoform" now describing a quantum state of being suspended between dimensions and realities. Optimus Primal takes possession of some of these stasis pods, stating that he'll "do what we can for them." Based on the use of Protoforms as a means of stasis in the cartoon it is clear that the technology was mastered between the events of this book and the cartoon. The author states that Optimus Primal would be key in unlocking that technology but that at least some of the stasis pods on the Axalon would be protoforms that he had not managed to save. This also answers an unintentional continuity error within the cartoon that when characters who awaken on Earth (with their entire life histories wiped) Primal and others do not react to the loss of their former colleagues and friends. <ref>http://wordmongerer.tumblr.com/post/142758963250/this-past-weekend-my-first-transformers-story </ref>
** Bove explains that it's just a similar design, similar to the various ''[[Star Trek|Enterprises]]''.
*The Tripredacus Council's use of transmatter to change a transformer to a protoform that can then assume a new form is the first use of the technology that would become commonplace during the Beast Wars.
*Transmatter, possessing biological and technological quantum realities makes the organic aspects of their later beast forms a logical extension.


*Airazor is in one of these stasis pods (labeled "Airazor") and Tigatron is not, which makes the status quo of "Dawn of Future's Past" difficult to extrapolate. In "Dawn of Future's Past" Airazor is going by a different name and both she and Tigatron look very different implying that Airazor is brought back but not as Airazor.
*The sight of Generation 1 Inferno becoming a protoform opens the possibility that his protoform could be the basis for [[Inferno (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Inferno]]. However, the author stated at [[BotCon 2016]] that this is not necessarily a fact as it was deliberately left open to the reader's interpretation and hasn't ruled out G1 Inferno's return if the story were to be continued.
*In "[[The Agenda (Part 1)]]," the Tripredacus Council talk about having "worked secretly towards the day where we might rise up and take what is rightfully ours", "ever since the Autobots defeated our Decepticon ancestors," which is later contradicted by Tarantulas in "Other Victories" where he states that he and the Tripredacus Council have different origins to Autobots and Decepticons. In Dawn of the Predacus we learn that the Tripredacus Council predate the factions as "First Generation Cybertronians" though they have served the Decepticons.
*Unnamed 'bots that resemble pre-beast forms of Air Hammer and Blackarachnia are seen walking around in an epilogue set after the signing of the Pax Cybertronia.
*The death of [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], is the origin of the faction name used in Beast Wars. The purple insect face iconography used by the Predacons is unexplained.


However, on some points his explanations fall short:


===Continuity Errors===
* Rattrap really shouldn't know Optimus Primal yet. Bove defends this by saying nobody ever said how long they'd been serving together, but while nobody establishes a ''precise'' timeframe, "[[Beast Wars (Part 1)]]" makes it abundantly clear that Rattrap is new to Primal's command, and on top of that strongly suggests that Primal himself is new to command.  There's some wiggle room, but it's hard to argue that there are ''three centuries'' of it.
* Many Maximals and Predacons from the cartoon, plus some who didn't appear in the cartoon, existed concurrently with their legendary "energon guzzler" "ancient ancestors."  Bove ''tries'' to explain this away by pointing out that most of them aren't seen to ''interact'' with any Autobots or Decepticons, but that still puts them in the same time frame as characters who were supposedly part of the distant past.
* In particular, many participants in the Beast Wars were present for the end of the Great War, with some playing rather prominent roles during the war's end:
** ''Beast Wars'' Megatron seizes a role of authority following Galvatron's demise, bossing Predaking around.
** Tigatron and Airazor are incredibly important Autobots, to the point that Prowl says that Tigatron is "respected by all sides for his desire for peace," sending him as an emissary to the Decepticons due to his widespread reputation. This echoes his later personality traits when awoken on prehistoric Earth and he would again be sent as an emissary by the Vok... but apparently nobody will make the connection.
* Airazor ends up in a stasis pod labeled with her name and Tigatron does not, which makes the status quo of "Dawn of Future's Past" difficult to extrapolate.  Apparently at some point she was brought back, but without her memories, and without her name despite it being on her pod.  Which isn't impossible, but ''wow'' she has the ''worst'' luck.
* In "[[The Agenda (Part 1)]]," the Tripredacus Council talk about having "worked secretly towards the day where we might rise up and take what is rightfully ours", "ever since the Autobots defeated our Decepticon ancestors," but we learn in this story that the Tripredacus Council WERE those Decepticon ancestors and that they defeated ''themselves'', on purpose.  Bove's explanation is essentially to separate those two quotes, which makes the first one fit nicely (taking what is rightfully theirs as ''first-generation Cybertronians'', rather than as heirs to the Decepticons) but the second one remains nonsense in light of this story.  To be fair, it doesn't really jibe with Tarantulas's claim of having different origins in "[[Other Victories]]," either.


*The profile card for the "Dawn of Future's Past" version of Generation 1 Razorclaw says that after the defeat of the Decepticons in the Great War, he led the nascent Predacon faction against the Autobots until the Tripredacus Council seemingly assassinated him. In addition, Divebomb himself appears alive in "Dawn of Future's Past", and the profile card for "Dawn of Future's Past" [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] says that Divebomb recruited Ravage to the Predacons. Those events do not play out here, where Razorclaw's entire team is killed off by Predacus, in the final battle of the Great War. The profile cards have not always connected smoothly with the published fiction and it is unclear if the Funpub Bio Cards connect to the IDW continuity at all.
===Other notes===
*The stasis pods in this story are labelled whereas the pods in the show weren't labeled with who was inside them, aside from the obvious exception of [[Rampage (BW)|Protoform X]]. However 300 years passes between this story and the events of Beast Wars and the pods Optimus Primal loads look more like a streamlined coffin than the pods used in the show (which have smaller windows and have kibble attached to the side) so may not be one and the same.
* This book was produced by [[IDW Publishing]] instead of [[Fun Publications]].
===Other trivia===
* Unit-3 is asked to "fill some big shoes" and later becomes a leg (and foot) for Magnaboss.  Ahaha.  Haha. Ha.

Contentious continuity

To put it very mildly, this story was controversial within the fandom--aside from the admittedly subjective "BW isn't supposed to be all about G1" complaints, many fans perceived it as stomping all over the continuity it was supposed to fit into like, well, a combiner stomping on Waspinator. Some of these issues have their origins in plot points that author John-Paul Bove had in mind but either didn't have time for or didn't realize were unclear, which he has gone on to clarify on his Tumblr. Bove has stated that the story was originally meant to be part of a mini-series set after "The Rebirth," so presumably some or all of these points would have been clearer in that context.

  • This story predates the existence of Maximals and Predacons, and there is no indication that any sort of downsizing has taken place yet, yet the Axalon is already in service, apparently scaled to G1-era Transformers.
    • According to Bove, after the downsizing, G1-scaled ships and buildings were retrofitted to suit smaller inhabitants. In particular, each deck of the Axalon would have been split into several smaller ones, making it a "larger" ship from the Maximals' point of view.

  • The sight of Generation 1 Inferno becoming a protoform which is then labeled as (naturally) "Inferno" suggests that his protoform became Beast Wars Inferno. Which wouldn't really be a continuity error, but it would be incredibly stupid.
    • Bove stated at BotCon 2016 that this was was deliberately left open to the reader's interpretation, and that he hasn't ruled out G1 Inferno's return if the story were to be continued.
  • There appears to be at least one of Ravage's transwarp cruiser, which will be "experimental" 300 years later, flying around.
    • Bove explains that it's just a similar design, similar to the various Enterprises.


However, on some points his explanations fall short:

  • Rattrap really shouldn't know Optimus Primal yet. Bove defends this by saying nobody ever said how long they'd been serving together, but while nobody establishes a precise timeframe, "Beast Wars (Part 1)" makes it abundantly clear that Rattrap is new to Primal's command, and on top of that strongly suggests that Primal himself is new to command. There's some wiggle room, but it's hard to argue that there are three centuries of it.

Bove tries to explain this away by pointing out that most of them aren't seen to interact with any Autobots or Decepticons, but that still puts them in the same time frame as characters who were supposedly part of the distant past.
  • In particular, many participants in the Beast Wars were present for the end of the Great War, with some playing rather prominent roles during the war's end:
    • Beast Wars Megatron seizes a role of authority following Galvatron's demise, bossing Predaking around.
    • Tigatron and Airazor are incredibly important Autobots, to the point that Prowl says that Tigatron is "respected by all sides for his desire for peace," sending him as an emissary to the Decepticons due to his widespread reputation. This echoes his later personality traits when awoken on prehistoric Earth and he would again be sent as an emissary by the Vok... but apparently nobody will make the connection.
