Talk:Retcon

The Retcons are a secret third (or fourth depending on how you count) Cybertronian faction. They use transwarp-based time-travel and personal cloaking devices to prevent time paradoxes. It was they who provided the "eye of the storm" which gave Optimus Primal the leeway to take Optimus Prime's spark within himself for a time. It was they who ensured that the spark of Megatron was safely returned. It was they who ensured the Aerialbots did no harm to the timeline whilst helping Alpha Trion in the far-flung past. --75.161.84.72 05:13, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Even though Fanon is the penultimate source of retconning, this is entirely plausible even if a deus ex machina is the worst literary device ever made. Whoopee for writers making up ways to sell more toys.LokitheGrammarNazi 11:55, 31 August 2010 (EDT)
