Talk:Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II

You know, I'm reallly trying to remain calm, and it's a bit expected after the first one and everything, but seriously, book in hand, and oh my freaking god you guys for reals. - Chris McFeely 11:39, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

Is it that cool? Because the first one has already taken the definition of "loaded with Easter eggs, in-jokes and other cool stuff" to previously non-existent levels. ---Blackout- 11:49, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

Broke the scale, off the charts, shattered trousers past what Rocherts did with LSotW, and maybe blew our socks off if anything from his reaction. :D All I know is that I'm going to be giggling/squeeing quietly to myself, looking a loon, after I pick them up. --Lonegamer78 13:16, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

Let me put it this way: On page 9, we get Octus (Animated). And it's all uphill from there... JW 19:44, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

Alignment is now canon

You magnificent bastards. --FortMax 13:29, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

Hnnh, and here we all thought Jim was just joking. --Khajidha 13:41, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

The apocrypha template feels unlove. Geewunling 13:44, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

It hasn't even been finalized yet! --Khajidha 14:08, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

Alignment? Canon?

Good grief. ---Blackout- 14:18, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

Details, please? I don't know of any way for Alignment-as-a-whole to become canon other than to be reprinted in its entirety in an official publication. --KilMichaelMcC 16:32, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

In the in-universe introduction, the authors note that they were going to take on Decepticon disguises from "Alignment, the true and accurate account of the future of Primax 984.0 Gamma as chronicled by Simon Furman". - Chris McFeely 16:35, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

UNRELIABLE NARRATOR --ItsWalky 21:33, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

The fact remains that the specific story details of Alignment were never approved by Hasbro. Does Alignment become official simply because another official publication says so in such broad terms? Crockalley 07:21, 1 July 2010 (EDT)

You know, that's a good point. I wouldn't think Alignment can become official until it's actually approved as such by Hasbro. --Jeysie 08:19, 1 July 2010 (EDT)

Season 4: Apocryphal or . . . ?

So, Almanac 2 contains an episode-by-episode synopsis of what Animated season 4 would have been. Since this is material included in an official Transformers publication, it obviously has a place in this wiki. I assume, however, that we don't count these events as actually having happened in the Animated universe? (I mean, an argument can be made that the events "happened", and we're just learning about them in canonical text-blurb form instead of canonical animated episode form . . . ) JW 23:00, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

The events did not happen. Unwritten and unpublished stories are at the same level as unreleased toys. --Thylacine 2000 23:13, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

...er, these are published, though. Actually, I think I have an easy solution, which will have to be backed up by someone who has the book already. Does this part of the book have the "out of universe" hazard border or not?--Rosicrucian^Talk 23:38, 30 June 2010 (EDT)

It does. --ItsWalky 00:15, 1 July 2010 (EDT)

Then that likely settles it.--Rosicrucian^Talk 00:19, 1 July 2010 (EDT)
