* All of the recounts of the Ark's and Nemesis' crash to Earth by both Megatron and Optimus (complete with the 'flashback' during Optimus' retelling) clearly state that the Nemesis shot down the Ark in a grand space battle. However, in [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]] and Marvel's interpretation of the battle, both ships are grounded by gravitational distortions from Earth disrupting their orbits, while they are both tethered together by a tractor beam. This would account for why Megatron and the other Decepticons are on the Ark; the tractor beam was there to secure the Ark while they boarded. However, there ''was'' a firefight between the Autobots and Decepticons ''inside'' the Ark that may have contributed to the ship's orbit's destablization, but this isn't confirmed either way in the G1 continuity, and there are no references to the boarding or firefight in any of the Beast Wars recounts. It is interesting to note that the retellings by Optimus and Megatron are stated as 'myths', meaning that the truth of what happened back then was lost in time, but this makes no sense, either, as it's been confirmed that Transformers who were involved in the Ark/Nemesis battle (like [[Ravage]]) are still around and functional during the Beast Era, meaning that such a gross mistranslation of those events would be nigh-impossible, unless purposely suppressed (which, considering the Maximal Elders' designating Earth as off-limits, is a possibility). Behind the scenes, this version of the Ark/Nemesis incident gets even more confusing, as it's known that Transformers guru [[Ben Yee]] was consulted for the three-part episode, which should have informed them about what really happened.
* All of the recounts of the Ark's and Nemesis' crash to Earth by both Megatron and Optimus (complete with the 'flashback' during Optimus' retelling), as well as that by Blackarachnia in [[The Agenda, Part 3]] clearly state that the Nemesis shot down the Ark in a grand space battle. However, in both [[More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1]] and the Marvel Comics rendition, this is not really the case; both clearly show the Decepticons tethering the Ark to the Nemesis for a forced boarding and firefight right before the crash, which had a hand in the crash (in fact, MTMTE clearly establishes the boarding and the gravitational anomalies it caused as the primary - if not sole reason - for the crash). There is no such reference to a boarding in any of the Beast Wars accounts, leaving the firefight between the ships as the sole reason for the crash. Why this account was established is unknown; though this accountis mentioned as a 'myth' (indicating that the real details behind it were lost during that time), it is known that Transformers living at that time (like [[Ravage]]) do still exist among them, discounting any natural means for the account to slip into legend unless all knowledge about that time were suppressed (a possibility, given the fact that [[Starscream]]'s records were confirmed sealed in ''[[Possession]]''. Also, although it is known that the show's creators had little knowledge of past Transformers continuity when they first made the show, Transformers guru [[Benson Yee]] was consulted for [[The Agenda]], who DID know about it, further questioning where and how the inaccurate recounts given in the series came about.

There is no such reference to a boarding in any of the Beast Wars accounts, leaving the firefight between the ships as the sole reason for the crash. Why this account was established is unknown; though this accountis mentioned as a 'myth' (indicating that the real details behind it were lost during that time), it is known that Transformers living at that time (like Ravage) do still exist among them, discounting any natural means for the account to slip into legend unless all knowledge about that time were suppressed (a possibility, given the fact that Starscream's records were confirmed sealed in Possession. Also, although it is known that the show's creators had little knowledge of past Transformers continuity when they first made the show, Transformers guru Benson Yee was consulted for The Agenda, who DID know about it, further questioning where and how the inaccurate recounts given in the series came about.
