Talk:Hasbro Q&A/September 2010: Answers

So, does this and this mean they're clearing out the singularity cruft? Fallen (Prime), Unicron (Prime), etc ahoy? - Mammalian Verisimilitude 15:42, 1 November 2010 (EDT)

Unfortunately it appears so. (I say this because 1. I liked the concept and 2. I won't get to see pics of Starfield eating his hat now) ---Blackout- 15:47, 1 November 2010 (EDT)

LOL! - Starfield 15:52, 1 November 2010 (EDT)

I wonder if sometimes Hasbro just wants to say, "Just buy the (expletive) merchandise!"? Retconning can be tough sometimes. - Zadok Rox 15:53, 1 November 2010 (EDT)

It doesn't appear so to me, at all, and I am frankly semi-baffled that so many other people are reading it that way. --KilMichaelMcC 15:54, 1 November 2010 (EDT)

If so many people are reading it one way, maybe it's because it's the natural way to read it, and trying to read it otherwise is akin to [http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2008/1777.html

arguing that "was under the impression" means "had been impressed upon" rather than "believed"]? - Mammalian Verisimilitude 16:02, 1 November 2010 (EDT)

I think this is a revision of canon. WFC/Exodus/Prime is the result of the G1, RiD, UT and Animated universal clusters collapsing together to become one universe. The films are the exception of course, as stated by Archer in that TFW2005 WFC interview. They said there is only 1 Fallen, which is to imply the G1 one is non-canon, because Dreamwave of course no longer in business. We've all noticed Hasbro was very lax on what constituted a separate character than our criteria. This is perhaps the clincher. The multiverse in Hasbro's view only consists of the Prime and live-action film series continuities: everything else is only a memory.

Regarding splitting Unicron and Primus, I reckon there won't be a need to, since they're gods, and Vector Prime likewise because whether one likes multiversal singularities or not because he is a dimension hopper. The Fallen is blatant there: there is only one Fallen. Alpha, well, seems he's stuck in the one expanding and crunching universe. Alientraveller 15:55, 1 November 2010 (EDT)
