Talk:Generation 1 cartoon timeline
I am uneasy about a lot of this. I would prefer to be more conservative about mashing things together, to the point that a coherent timeline for this continuity would be nearly impossible. I haven't watched the G1 series in several years, but as the discussion at Talk:Early Decepticons seems to indicate, my recollection was that the ancient history of Cybertron was extremely vague if not actually self-contradictory. Unless things are very clear-cut, it is not our place to decide how those elements should be resolved and state those speculations authoritatively. A prose article discussing the different pieces of backstory, and analyzing the ways that they fit and don't fit would be much preferable to a linear timeline. Additionally, I'm wary of the idea of pushing Beast Era retcons into what is explicitly being called a G1 Cartoon timeline. Beast Era stories take place in a version of G1 that has never been depicted in detail, NOT in the cartoon universe or any other known G1 universe. --Steve-o 02:37, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
