CONTINUITY FAMILY
We need a place to put these guys! The story behind them doesn't fit into anything else, which is no surprise, since it's an entirely music-based "war" story that begins in the 70s. But I thiiiiiiiiiiiink we should put them under Aligned for very flimsy reasons. 1) They're Aligned molds, which is the strongest reason. 2) In the backstory, Bumblebee loses his voice. 3) Vehicons. Ditto backstory. Anyone have any counterarguments? --ItsWalky (talk) 12:47, 20 July 2014 (EDT)
- Well, other continuity famalies use Aligned molds, and there's also Animated molds. Bumblebee being voiceless is somewhat of a staple on TF. (If anything, I think they were going for live-action movie Bumblebee, what with the whole "I wish to stay with the tour" line.) And Vehicons are in a variety of continuities, but they did originate from a part of the Primax cluster. Escargon (talk) 12:59, 20 July 2014 (EDT)
- I'd been thinking Aligned for pretty much those exact same reasons. G1 would be the only reasonable alternative, and that's not a family where 'Bee ever loses his voice or where Vehicons (in the post-BM sense of being anonymous grunts rather than dumb drones) are a thing. The backstory is unmistakably Binder-of-Revelation-y. Jalaguy (talk) 13:15, 20 July 2014 (EDT)
Well there's other things in there that don't match up with what we know of the Aligned characters (Arcee being Optimus' girlfriend, Soundwave being snarky, and Ratbat being a prodigy of Soundwave instead of a senator). Escargon (talk) 19:58, 20 July 2014 (EDT)
Why can't this be a continuity of it's own, not grouped in Aligned or G1 or any other established family, given how unique the story is? --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 21:53, 20 July 2014 (EDT)
- Yeah, I've been thinking this backstory is so nutty (in a good way) that it'd probably be safest to call it its own special little continuity family altogether. --Sabrblade (talk) 00:00, 21 July 2014 (EDT)
- I am not sure one box set of toys can be its own continuity family. I mean, you kind of have to have, like, more than one story to be a "family" of continuities, and all it's got is a single booklet. Its own continuity sans the family part, most certainly. That was never in doubt. --ItsWalky (talk) 00:35, 21 July 2014 (EDT)
- Well we don't have call it a continuity family to put the characters in articles of their own with (KOU) parentheticals. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 08:07, 21 July 2014 (EDT)
- It occurs to me that the logo in the instructions might be a clue. Or it'll just be the new logo they put on everything, I dunno. I guess we'll see in two or three days. --ItsWalky (talk) 00:39, 21 July 2014 (EDT)
