Talk:Aligned timeline

Do we need to have a seperate section for the Rescue Bots? So far I don't see anything that implies that they can't exist in the "main" Prime universe. Tom Servo the Great 23:17, 22 December 2011 (EST)

I would think not. It all seems to be one (mostly) coherent timeline thus far (barring a few contradiction hiccups between such things as WFC and Exodus). --184.13.196.220 19:08, 25 December 2011 (EST)

Where exactly in the Present Day section would we put it? Mojotron

I'd be fine with it going before Prime season 1. I know this is speculation instead of fact, but the Rescue Bots' presence (and possible future revelation of not being man-made machines) could have contributed to the rumors Silas heard about living machines walking among humanity. --Sabrblade 23:20, 31 December 2011 (EST)

I think the issue is best dealt with a quick sentence that says some unspecified time after Optimus Prime arrived on Earth, he established a Rescue Bots team on an island somewhere. Anything more than that is making stuff up more than is comfortable. --ItsWalky 01:30, 1 January 2012 (EST)

Good point. That'll work better. --Sabrblade 01:34, 1 January 2012 (EST)

Crossfire

Sorry if I made the Crossfire summary too long. I'll shorten it if necessary. -- Spydersix 14:59, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

70 million years ago

Do we actually have a source for that? I don't see it in the history. I've removed it, since events in the comics contradict it. --ItsWalky 02:31, 29 October 2012 (EDT)

I'm the one who put it in. In several interviews for the game, Matt Tieger referred to the time period of FOC being around that time to explain how Shockwave looked at Earth for inspiration for the Dinobots' altmodes (though, he has also said "65-70 million years ago" at times as well, but "70 million" has been the one of the two more often mentioned). Granted, it's probably authorial intent at this point, but it's all we've had to go by and doesn't contradict anything established by the game itself. --Sabrblade 11:34, 29 October 2012 (EDT)

Also, a quick Google search shows several websites with this particular body of text repeated on each one:

The Autobots and Decepticons have been battling each other for centuries, and as a result their beloved home planet of Cybertron is dying. Possible salvation lies in a faraway blue planet discovered orbiting a yellow sun - a planet whose energy resources could save the Transformers from extinction. But who will reach this new planet first? The Autobots who value life and freedom for all beings, or the Decepticons driven by a quest for perfect order and glory. In a struggle that takes place 70 million years before man, the fate of Earth lies in the balance.

Appearing on so many sites, it had to have come from somewhere. --Sabrblade 15:15, 29 October 2012 (EDT)

Like many other discrepancies in the Aligned-verse, I suggest that we keep the specific date and time vague. Tom Servo the Great 21:14, 29 October 2012 (EDT)

We have specific year dates for Rescue Bots's past events, and, again, "70 million years ago" doesn't contradict anything from WFC, FOC, Exodus, or Exiles. And coming from the creators in several official press material gives some precedence to it, rather than just being some random time frame with no credit to it. --Sabrblade 23:57, 29 October 2012 (EDT)

Prime - The Game

Is there anyway we can put this in here, or isit best that we just ignore it? Mojotron 07:16, 19 December 2012 (EST)
