Is "canon" really appropriate here, because Transformers has never really had one, and none of the fan club stuff (regardless of which club) will ever trump the mass-released fiction. Maybe there's a better way to phrase it? (And I'm feeling a little too thick at the moment to figure out how, myself.) -TFVanguard 20:22, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- You should know better than that, Neale, but I'll answer for the sake of reinforcing common knowledge:
- a) TF does have a canon: It's everything that Hasbro and/or Takara have ever put their stamp of approval on. This means there are a bajillion continuities that are all simultaneously canon. This has even been acknowledged in the fiction, thanks to several dimensional-crossover stories in the past few years.
- b) "Rav" the blue Deployer is toy-canon. "Chro" the blue Deployer is Wreckers-canon. Since the latter actively disregarded the former, that's the direction of retcon referred to in the article. But all the facts remain on the Wiki; we don't IGNORE blue-Rav or relegate all the information to the Chro article. And it's all still canon, because it all went out with Hasbro's blessing.
