Hasbro's names for the continuity
For what it's worth, when Hasbro tried to put a name to the continuity they called it "Cybertron/Exodus continuity" and the "new aligned continuity".[1] The first is too clunky. "Aligned continuity" isn't too bad. - Starfield 21:54, 26 July 2010 (EDT)
Prime vs WFC
Are these the same franchise or 2 franchises in the same continuity family? If they are the same, shouldn't they have the same nav-box? --Khajidha 11:36, 26 September 2010 (EDT)
Prime, WfC/Exodus still linked?
Hasbro hasn't made any mentions of links to WfC/Exodus in regards to Prime beyond the initial stuff we heard of and WfC Bumblebee's figure bio that says he's now mute. Has Hasbro gone back on that link anywhere?--MCRG 01:10, 10 October 2010 (EDT)
- No. --ItsWalky 01:26, 10 October 2010 (EDT)
Continuity family, franchises etc.
Here's my take on how to organize all this into different pages:
- Modern continuity family
- This would contain links to two franchises: War for Cybertron and Prime. It would also be our primary repository for explanations/descriptions of Hasbro's intentions re: continuity, etc.
- War for Cybertron (franchise)
- This would contain links to everything WfC-branded (the game, the toys, the comic, and Exodus). It would also have a brief summation of the continuity wackiness, with a focus on WfC.
- Prime (franchise)
- This would contain links to everything Prime-branded (the show, comics, and toys). It would also have a brief summation of the continuity wackiness, with a focus on Prime.
How does that sound? I'm not married to the "Modern continuity family" name; I could see using one of Starfield's suggestions instead. On the other hand, if Aaron Archer is right and this is going to be the wellspring of TF fiction for the next ten years, maybe "Modern" isn't a bad choice after all. (At the very least, we won't have to worry about it being out-of-date for a loooooong time.)
