Talk:Liege Maximo's tomb

The "Art of Prime" book says the arm was Sentinel Prime's. So, uh, hooray. --ItsWalky (talk) 12:26, 29 December 2013 (EST)

Transformers Prime continuity: Sentinel Prime; Covenant of Primus continuity: Liege Maximo. Easy! (If Hasbro want to convince me that it's all one big continuity, they're going to have to do better with the details. I can't squint hard enough to make Sentinel Prime look like Liege Maximo) --abates (talk) 14:12, 29 December 2013 (EST)

Only problem with that approach (if you want to consider it a problem) is that Hasbro has already right out and said they have no intention of "doing better with the details" than that, because *they* can squint well enough to see past it and they are considering it all one thing whether they convince you or not. --ZacWilliam (talk) 14:17, 29 December 2013 (EST)

Rampant Speculation

Ok, this doesn't really help with the Sentinel vs. Maximo issue at all, I know. But having just read through this section of the Covenant a second time while working on that article, I have to post a tugging thought...

In the original version of this story that Alpha Trion told in the Irvine Novels we hear that Liege Maximo lived through his betrayal and escaped into space. One of the other Prime's (Amalgamous or Alchemist I think, I forget which) eventually leaves to hunt him down. Here, instead, Maximo appears to have died and it is a repentant Megatronus who leaves for deep space.

Now changes/revisions/retcons to stories like this happen all the time and it completely may just be that. But I was struck a little about the Maximo's fate on the second reading. He's been torn to shreds and his head has been partially destroyed by the Requiem Blaster that Alpha Trion makes a point to say he doesn't remember having fired. It's probably just Thor 2 kicking around in my head but I can't quite dismiss the idea that Maximo faked his death and escaped into space disguised somehow as Megatronus. Then both versions of the story are true.

I know, rampant speculation, and the Arm needs to belong to a Prime for it to function as it did in the Cartoon. The variant fates for the Liege are just another weird disconnect about the whole business on top of the Sentinel thing.--ZacWilliam (talk) 14:10, 29 December 2013 (EST)
