Cyberverse's entire point seems to have been building a cartoon and toyline around the evergreen designs (which up until that point had only been used for generic brand promotional merchandise, such as party napkins). I agree that just because Earthspark may be using similar wouldn't...

Three, now, although IDW Unicron is arguably a reworking/improvement of the Sunbow origin. Certainly "built and powered by the rage-filled ghost of a scientist mourning his dead daughter killed by early Cybertronian expansion" gives one a bit more to work with than "built by a potato monkey who...

And that makes sense for Primus and Unicron, which Furman already established to be small-g gods. "Decide what you want them to do, they do it," to quote the old Mekton Z rulebook. I know they tried explaining how being a singularity worked regarding the Fallen's personal timeline (which can...

Hm. So TFWiki's initial description of the Earthspark cartoon described it as using "stylized" evergreen designs. At this point, though, I'm thinking that it would be premature to put a cluster name on it until we actually get some full episodes released. (Although I did kind of like the idea...

As he keeps saying, no-one was more surprised than Jon Stewart to find out he somehow became the Most Trusted Name In News during the Bush-the-Lesser maladministration. He didn't exactly view it as a good thing, either.

The toylines -- and, of course, all this fiction exists to help sell, or was inspired by prior attempts to help sell, toys -- have certainly been changing and innovating on the regular -- arguably much faster than the North American and European fiction did. Marvel-G1, for example, covered the...

The "pillar" realities aren't likely to be remembered by their stream-codes, even by those sad fans like me. And given the fact that one of those pillars -- the Japanese G1 cartoon continuity -- spans several streams all merging and splitting into and out of each other (and also appropriated...

"The Legion got out again...."

Oohh, that'd be a question to ask a Hasbro rep. I could see it being a means, similar to the Bumblebee movie, of trying to make Lighter and Softer entries into the movie continuity family.

Okay, I can see that. My brain kept coming back to "Verdend", as it was trying to do similar things as Aligned ("Uniend") using "evergreen" designs (Vert/Verdi for green).

Vector Prime both knows, and doesn't know, the fandom quite well. But that sort of quantum superposition is to be expected. 🙂 Heck, I myself am of two minds on the matter. On the Fanon Wiki Universal Stream category page, I was even blunter than the above AVP quote: "'GODSDAMMIT, THIS SCHEME...

I might be a bit biased, but MEDdMI's journey of poetry, cupcakes was on a Switch port of the game in question. You may follow it on that thread, though spoilers abound. I've tried to keep surprises covered up though.

I thought that I'd take a look at sparking some discussion (that wasn't about ARGs and anime-themed games) with regards to our Great Big Story Map -- by which I mean the Continuity Family Tree. Since at least the 2003 Universe line, there have been various efforts, some fan led and some...

Hindsight is 20/20, of course, but the concept of Unicron being built as a protector could (for future media) be merged with the IDW2005 backstory that the builders had been attacked by a previous Cybertronian expansion from long before the Autobot-Decepticon War. We probably wouldn't get the...

An offering bringing back "continuity families"? In this case, sharing one with either Botbots or EarthSpark?

I'm probably dating myself with this, but:

....Except that 30 seconds later nobody seems to mind or indeed have noticed. 🙃 (Just a riff on Cybertron's destruction in the aforementioned first draft TF:TAM script)

Well, if ever I needed a reason to post some of WholeWheatPete's antics to Allspark, this would be it:

Not a bad recreation! Here's the original routine, synced to G1 animation:

Ben's always been a bit of an odd duck -- how else does a former Nixon speechwriter become a bit part actor and TV commercial "Hey, It's That Guy!" in The '80's? But I can usually follow his logic, even if the initial premise, process, or conclusion end up bad. This one falls into "2×11= A...
