Quotes
Notes
- Fan site Seibertron first broke the news of Exodus, and assumed it was a tie-in to Transformers: War for Cybertron. [1] It's not yet known for sure which continuity it will be, however.
- The synopsis refers to Optimus deciding to meet with the rebel Megatron, making this the first fiction to have Optimus and Megatron as firm allies before being enemies.
- The synopsis boldly declares "everything that happened before Optimus and Megatron arrived on planet Earth—has always been a mystery", which is a bit of a fib: various Marvel UK strips since the 80s (especially 1986's State Games), several cartoon episodes, and reams of Dreamwave and IDW comics have been set pre-Earth. Two recent stories set in the past, Megatron Origin and The War Within, appear to be contributing elements (Megs as a working class rebel gladiator and Optimus as a former data clerk, respectively), while Megatron founding the Decepticons due to his gladiatorial fame comes from State Games and previous stories have implied a corrupt or weak pre-war government.
