Apocryphal?

I have tot ake issue with Scorponk's tale (at least) being considered 'apocraphyl.' It takes place in Earthforce continuity, where Scorponok lost the Decepticon Civil War in US #72. IIRC, this is mentioned in The Magnificent Six! as well, which is another Earthforce tale. (And I'd bet that the Megatron tale fit there too.)

Aside the fct that it does fit in continuity... I'm really uncomfortable with the wiki throwing around terms like 'apocryphal', which is about one shade short of declaring an inconvenient story non-cannon. -Derik 18:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

The time-travel does make it all very confusing. Rather than it happening in the Earthforce timeline, though, I'd say it makes a heck of a lot more sense for it to have happened in the original, unaltered "movieverse" timeline (Earth-120185, if you like), before history was re-written, post-Time-Wars. Like "Legacy of Unicron," it's an experience Hot Rod/Rodimus had before history was altered, but which he still remembers. Same for the Shockwave and Megatron stories. - Chris McFeely 19:40, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Out of curiosity - it was my feeling that the Megatron shown in the flashback is actually Straxus-Megatron, since I had formed the impression he was operating out of Helix. Was I right in assuming this, or would you guys say it was definitely, uh, Megatron-Megatron? --Monzo 10:22, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

If the assumption that the original Galvatron (T2006-Time Wars) was made from Strauxs-Megatron (given that he remembers events through his eyes during Time Wars) is correct, and if one assumes as I do that the Megatron AoE story occurs in the pre-Time-Wars movieverse timeline, then logically, yeah, that would be Straxus-Megatron.

...my brain itches. - Chris McFeely 10:58, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I have to confess, for me things make a lot more sense if you read that Time Wars changed history from 1989 on, and that the Galvatron who comes back in Target 2006 et al is in fact made from the Straxus Megatron, having lasted a lot longer in this timeline. (I especially like that idea because it means the original Megatron might be wandering around the post-Movie future somewhere!) On the other hand, I do acknowledge that it's possible to read it that The Movie follows some years after Generation 2 (so only the one timeline here) and that the Target 2006 Galvatron is the original Megatron and some prefer it that way. Personal canon an' all, y'know. --Ratbat 11:45, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Beast Wars

2356... thats about the same time in the future that the Maximals and Predacons time-travel from. Has anyone given it any thought as to whether this future can coincide with the Beast Wars future? Although obviously neither character was written with the other in mind, I like to think that the student is Beast Wars Megatron before he becomes Megatron and that although he never gets to find Unicron as he said he would, it was Rodimus Prime's words that began the student's path into becoming Megatron. 84.64.160.4 20:46, 2 September 2009 (EDT)
