Continuity headaches
- Despite the concerted effort to organize the new continuity, Exodus and War for Cybertron are very incompatible versions of a similar story, creating two separate universes for the continuity right from the start. Oops.
- It probably doesn't help that poor editing left Exodus self-contradictory on a good number of backstory points.
Notes
- Aaron Archer has stated that he wasn't particularly happy with "Prime" as the name of the new continuity family, but did not yet have a better option to offer. He had considered recommending "Epochs," only to conclude it wasn't really better after all.
