One thing we also haven't mentioned was how the decision to make Optimus being the Thirteenth Prime reincarnated was a late decision. As Chris said in the video, absolutely no Aligned media besides the Covenant book ever mentioned it. Not the novels, not the video games, not the Prime, Rescue...

Same, though for me it was more like 2010, I think. But I did read fan forums with members who did read the Fun Pub stuff. I also read Wikipedia, and eventually TFWiki when it became its own thing separate from Wikipedia. And later episodes in the Cybertron cartoon did eventually see Vector...

Forest Lee nailed it down in the first page of the first comic he ever wrote for Fun Pub: So even before the Cybertron cartoon first premiered in Toonami, the Thirteen all being Primes had been set in stone without any regard to what being a Prime actually meant anymore. Just "special", which...

Making all of them Primes all traces back to the naming of Vector Prime and his lack of carrying a/the Matrix, years before the 2007 movie's success kicked off the Binder's development. Forest Lee then took the idea of all Thirteen being Primes and then ran with it in the early Fun Pub comics.

Having read the Binder, it's clear that Hasbro really was riding the high of the 2007 movie and all the money it made, as so much of the Binder's lore was written with the idea of that movie being the foundational cornerstone that the entire "Modern Continuity" (as the Binder referred to it more...

It does look rather wormy, yeah.;)

Hence why I specified that I was referring to the original intent, from before when ROTF came along and ruined everything.

Waspinator too. Female wasps have stingers.

It's a reference to "'Till all are one."

I feel like Furman's original intent behind there being two separate evil 13ers was because of there having been two separate main villains in the lore at the time: Megatron and Unicron. The Fallen would have represented the corruptive influence of Unicron's ancient evil and the Liege Maximo...

Hello, Legend Convoy!

Honestly, the Last Autobot works too well for a "The 13th Will Return" prophecy since that's essentially the role he played in his original Marvel Comics appearance. He was the very last original creation of Primus before the rest of the Cybertronian race came into existence, and he showed up at...

"Anything you can do I can do better! I can do anything better than you!" "No, you can't!" "Yes, I can!" "No, you can't!" "Yes, I can!" "No, you can't!" "Yes, I can! Yes, I can!"

Additional background info regarding the Thirteenth Prime not mentioned in the video, from my talk with Aaron Archer earlier this year at BotCon:

Episode 7, "Hunter vs Hunted" (w/ Episode 6 attached at the end):

First, he did a complete retrospective for every season of the 2003 cartoon. Then, he did the same for every season of the 2012 cartoon. And now, J's Reviews has swung back to the aughts with a retrospective for the 2007 movie!

Unite Warriors prices have only gone up in the years since their release.

Somehow, the Universe redeco looked good in predominantly blue.
