[glow=blue,2,000]This isn't one of those threads to moan and complain about it, or which one is better, the cartoon of the comic. See to me, I take in the fact that the ppl incharge of TF, from the 80s to now, could give a flying pancake about the details of the story or the past. I blame them and don't get wrapped up in to silly details and so forth.
BUT.....I was asking, to see where everyone is at on this and also how important it is to you. Does it extend into fanfics and RPGs? If so how much? Do you try and piece the cartoon and comic together? Would you rather see DW make a new continuity or keep with the old, comic or cartoon, or have one loosely based on TF history?
Me myself am a die hard cartoon fan however I see the sopplyness of the show and storys. The old Marvel comic has its mistakes and lacks some power in the first years. Both series had shinning moments later on, the last 20 issues of TF and the movie.
Now adays I'm more for the comic, the show to me is great for personality and the War Within is.........what I've been waiting for. CYBERTRON, NO EARTH AND NO HUMANS. What more do I need?
On a personal note, I perfer Primus over the Quints since the cartoon doesn't really explain how the TFs got there feelings or emotions. And if they could think on there own why would there be 2 sides, strictly Bot and Con? I know one is for mechanics and the other for war, but these are suppose to be thinking machines, can't they decide for themselves? The Cyberonians and Neutrals gives the average TF more definition of a resident of Cybertron, and a God like Primus can pretty much do what he want and give the Tin Man his heart. I love the Quints though, they have enough character to stand on there own rather then being the creators of the TFs.
I even have another view on the origin of the story and the war. I'll get to that later me thinks.... [/glow]
