Synopsis
Further information in this article is coming soon as it pertains to information that may not yet have been officially released. |
Featured characters
- Orion Pax/Optimus Prime
- Megatron
- Alpha Trion
- Jazz
- Sentinel Prime
- Starscream
- Omega Supreme
Errors
- Early on Bruticus Maximus and Onslaught are referred to as "Constructicons." The Constructicons here are a larger team than normal, but given that this description shortly follows a paragraph talking about definite actual Constructicons and that the Combaticons team name IS mentioned later, this seems a likely typo/error.
Quotes
Notes
- Transformers: Exodus has been confirmed to tie-in with the Transformers: War for Cybertron video game and will also be getting partially adapted into IDW's War for Cybertron comic.[1]
- Despite this intended tie-in, the stories of Exodus and War for Cybertron are completely incompatible, other than sharing a MacGuffin and some set pieces. Even the name of the Prime before Optimus differs between the two. (Sentinel versus Zeta.)
- 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.
