Talk:Megatron (BW)

Y'know the BW Meg's was probably the most successful of all Megatron's. The guy managed to kill Optimus 3 time in his career, nearly rewrote all of history and managed to completely dominate Cybertron for a brief time.

Also, he never took to calling himself Galvatron when he changed. I give him bonus points for that. --Octopus Prime- King of the Road! 13:32, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

...he had a Cybertron toy? -Derik 01:04, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, silly me, I forgot that the new BWX toys wern't cybertron, I'll edit them back to the way they were.X-BoB58 01:14, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

That Table of Contents doesn't look right to me. This section:

1. 1.1 American animated continuity

   * 1.1.1 Timelines: Dawn of Futures Past
   * 1.1.2 Dreamwave Comics continuity
   * 1.1.3 Beast Wars
   * 1.1.4 Tales of the Beast Wars
   * 1.1.5 IDW Beast Wars: The Gathering comics
   * 1.1.6 Beast Machines
   * 1.1.7 3H Universe Comics

Seems like it should be broken down more. I mean, I'm not sure how exactly, but all of that stuff isn't really part of a single continuity, is it? --KilMichaelMcC 18:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I think the DW comics bit will be retconned out by this year's Timelines set, so I think we can move that eventually. And IDW's BW series may eventually write itself out of continuity. Otherwise, yes. --ItsWalky 18:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

The IDW and 3H comics are part of a single continuity? I didn't think they were compatible with each other. --KilMichaelMcC 19:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Furman has stated that theirs is in-continuity with the show, but in a separate timeline than previous material. Of course, that means nothing until there are actually irreconciliable differences, and I don't believe that's happened happened yet. When that day comes, I will gladly put IDW's material in its own subheading. (From what I understand, the Timelines story will try to reconcile with both 3H and IDW's material through non-contradiction, if not outright affirmation.) --ItsWalky 19:32, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

You mean like 3H's Primaeval dawn (set after Beast Wars) being 180,000 years ago, and IDW's series (during BW) being set 70,000 years ago?

Contradictions like that? -Derik 19:36, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Right. That doesn't bother me. --ItsWalky 20:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, the Japanese Micromasters stuff places BW at 3 million years ago. So it's nothing if not conflicted.

(I tend to agree BTW, while the different dates indicate the two versions of events are not in strict continuity with one another, there is nothing that keeps the events of one from more-or-less happening in the other- yet.) -Derik 20:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Yea, hell If I had my way on this wiki, there would be no divide between US and Japan continuity, X-BoB58 18:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

The problem is- that strategy only works while everything meshes smoothly. With BWMegs, we actually have parts of the US continutiy that are dropping out- at which point it becomes irresponsible to nto seperate other non-central material.

Some of ythese characers/backstories/histories are so complicated that all you can do it try to present it in a format where the reader a) is able to get a general impression b) is able to make their own judgement on the material, based on the division you made-- what fits with what, etc. -Derik 19:12, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

And thank God you never will, X-Bob. - RolonBolon 21:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

S1 VS set

Was it ever defined if the red Batimus and purple Megagator were the same characters as Primal and Megatron? Also, are we going to list the first BW Primal and Megs toys as versions of G1 Prime and Megs, because they are if you go by the specs.
