Jesus fuck, this is awful. Are we going to give lip service to this thing in the fiction articles? —Interrobang 23:42, 11 November 2009 (EST)

No. At least, I don't think there is any reason to. With all of the "it is believed that..." and "it may have come from..."s it sets itself up as an unreliable, in-fiction source. It seems the book has an in-fiction author who doesn't know all of the facts as to what really happened so it doesn't actually retcon anything. - Starfield 23:48, 11 November 2009 (EST)
Well, the "new" information that aren't obviously errors or continuity flubs, we can address. Like the awful sentence about how the Seekers were "special" and that they "ruled the skies and were noble," and how their addition to Megatron's insurgence gave it legitimacy. --ItsWalky 23:53, 11 November 2009 (EST)
I don't see how that works - they buzzed a crowd, shot up dudes and defaced a building. They're basically just 1950s "biker rebels". Given how bad the "noble" crap is, like that crap from the BW source book, I don't think we even need to consider it. --FFN 23:24, 12 November 2009 (EST)

Something tells me, this is going to be my favorite (funniest) IDW page on this wiki...

This was Denton's work, wasn't it? ---Blackout- 01:43, 13 November 2009 (EST)
Denton had nothing to do with this.--RosicrucianTalk 01:45, 13 November 2009 (EST)

Title

Does it include the "The" before "Transformers" or not? —Interrobang 00:48, 12 November 2009 (EST)

Yeah, there's a The there. Dagnabbit, fixing these redirects will be an ordeal. --ItsWalky 00:56, 12 November 2009 (EST)
Wasn't that difficult, really. —Interrobang 01:36, 12 November 2009 (EST)

An apostrophy error if someone has the book handy.

I don't have it with me at work, but I remember there was one part where Decepticon's should be Decepticons' if someone can find it.--MistaTee 10:40, 12 November 2009 (EST)

IDW Forum outburst

The IDW thread for Continuum got gutted from half its posts, and DanielW's outburst is gone... --Detour 22:16, 12 November 2009 (EST)

The preview or the main release? --MistaTee 22:43, 12 November 2009 (EST)
Pretty sure it was the main release, but don't quote me. I don't frequent IDW's boards very often. --Detour 22:53, 12 November 2009 (EST)
I think it was the preview. I was reading page eight of the thread and I hit F5 and I got a "Page not found" notice. So I hit the back button and instead of an 8-page thread it was suddenly a 6-page thread. --SuzyP 23:11, 12 November 2009 (EST)
If anybody wants to archive it somewhere, I predicted this would happen so I saved the page where his outburst occurred. --FFN 23:14, 12 November 2009 (EST)
I also have a copy. They can't rewrite reality!--SuzyP 23:17, 12 November 2009 (EST)
I thinks we should archive it and then link it to this page for posterity. --FFN 23:24, 12 November 2009 (EST)
Do it. Do the shit out of it. --ItsWalky 23:37, 12 November 2009 (EST)
Who should we send it to? --FFN 01:17, 13 November 2009 (EST)

New Avengers

Is not including it really an error? Seems more like a small mercy to me... --Magnusblitz 03:03, 13 November 2009 (EST)
