Talk:Aligned continuity family
The name
This page needed to be called something, and none of the suggested options seemed to have more or less community support in previous discussion, so I went with what I liked best. For the record, here are the choices I've seen:
- New Aligned (or just Aligned)
- Modern
- War for Cybertron/Exodus
- Taken from Hasbro commentary: [5]
- Prime
- Based on the current most prominent franchise
- Bible
- Based on the monumental production bible and the fact that the WfC novel is named "Exodus"
For my money, I prefer the first two, and I went with "New Aligned" over "Modern" because it's more unique and descriptive, plus it's less prone to dating. "War for Cybertron/Exodus" is clunky, and I vehemently dislike "Prime" because of all the confusion and debates we've caused ourselves by having both a "G1" franchise and a "G1" continuity family. "Bible" strikes me as kind of left-field and too laden with real-world baggage.
I don't mean to impose my opinion; if the community prefers a different name, that's cool. And of course, if Hasbro ever declares an official name, this whole question is moot. But in the meantime... gotta have something.
