Synopsis

There's been some more info posted up about the novel. How much of it should go in here (quoted or referenced)? --Nerroth 13:14, 25 March 2010 (EDT)

That's the exact same information that's on the Amazon link. --ItsWalky 13:17, 25 March 2010 (EDT)
Indeed - a link which was only updated to include said synopsis today. My question still stands - how should the new information regarding the novel's plot be added to the synopsis here (as a direct quote, or a re-write)? --Nerroth 13:21, 25 March 2010 (EDT)


This has probably been discussed elsewhere, but--why are we calling this "Exodus" and not "Transformers: Exodus"? --Thylacine 2000 22:07, 24 May 2010 (EDT)

The "Transformers:" part is routinely left of of article titles just to shorten them. It is usually used on the page itself. I'll fix that. - Starfield 22:17, 24 May 2010 (EDT)

Spoilers?

This is out in stores now, and I'm reading it. Looks like there's gonna be a LOT to add. So are we doing anytype of spoiler wait on it or should we just start adding things here and on other pages?

Spoiler warnings, of course. Since half the fandom will be at BotCon this week, there should some waiting to give people a chance to read it.--Jimsorenson 14:25, 22 June 2010 (EDT)

G1

This comic is COMPLETELY different than than the war for cybertron storyline which is a direct prequel to G1. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 98.204.17.1 (talkcontribs).

Yes, it is; no, it isn't; and we already know. Geewunling 15:20, 5 July 2010 (EDT)
War for Cybertron is not a direct prequel to G1. Half Moon Studios likes to say it is, but that's because they want to sell video games. For example, they've specifically said that the video game ends right when the original cartoon begins, which is impossible on so many levels. I mean, we have the Aerialbots existing four million years before they were born! We have Jetfire as an Autobot hanging out on Cybertron when he should be encased in ice on Earth as a Decepticon! We have the entire war taking place, from Optimus becoming Prime to the Transformers leaving the planet, over a short series of interconnected levels instead of over 5 million years! "This video game takes place before the cartoon" was clearly marketing speak for the casual fan, not something that would hold up to scrutiny. (Same as their "we've never seen Cybertron before!" crap.) --ItsWalky 15:22, 5 July 2010 (EDT)
