Got a couple more treats from the two Awdry Extravaganzas. Decades ago, Wilbert Awdry gave two history lectures on the lore of the Island of Sodor as featured in the Railway Series. These were originally presented years before the Island of Sodor book was published in 1987, so these two...

Which also had an unfortunate side effect that painted Rodimus in a bad light in those people's memories.

So we've got the original six MMPRs (Green Ranger included), but there are now seven confirmed ranger actors: Billy, Zack, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Kat, and Trini's daughter Minh. So, who's who? The footage we see shows Zack as Black and Billy as Blue, Rocky's gotta be Red and Kat's gotta be Pink...

We can speculate on What-ifs all we want. The fact of the matter is that 1980s Hasbro wanted Optimus Prime killed off above all other characters, because to them he was just a piece of merchandise to be sold for two years and then discarded in the third year, tossed to the wind to make room for...

"I find your lack of Sweeps... disturbing."

Just offscreen are a million more Sweeps that we can't see.

IDW made G1 versions of lots of originally-non-G1 characters. Here's a sample group shot of some: The latter. The former would instead be something more like the 2003 Universe series, or TransTech (albeit, in the world of Axiom Nexus rather than a G1 world).

The answer to that is Beast Wars: Uprising. 😜

I'd laugh it if was the entirety of Kang's narration speech, with the final movie having him instead give a similar yet completely differently-worded speech.

Drag Strip is the only Stunticon who still has any consistent presence in stores right now, and that's mainly at Walmart due to the absolute glut of Wave 1 Deluxes they still have. I only ever saw a single Wild Rider at Target once, and which I'm convinced was a damaged return since its box was...

Looking at the toy mold in my hands right now... maaaaaybe? With a little imagination, I could see them finagling a helicopter out of the cannon mode with a little retooling and some new add-on accessories. Namely, by turning the cannon mode around and making the helicopter from the backwards...

On the other hand, there were ads for the Toys 'R' Us G1 toy reissues in the back of Dreamwave's G1 comic issues. ;)

That's basically the Aligned continuity.

Unfortunately, that was always going to happen. Like I said above, the very first draft of the script saw Optimus killed off. And (thanks to the TF Nation presentation being uploaded to YouTube) seemingly Bumblebee, too. Just those two 1984 Autobots.

Scrapper: "Well, excuuuuuuuse me, Starscream! It's not exactly easy to play the trumpet without the use of any elbows!"

Season 4 didn't continue beyond "The Rebirth" also because the TV networks were done with Transformers. It was considered old news by that point. In 1987, the new hot stuff for kids were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and DuckTales. Those were what the networks were interested in.

Well, if we're talking over-complicated timelines, there's always this monstrosity that I had to piece together myself (since no one else would): The Beast Wars expanded universe timeline as created by 3H and Fun Pub.

Well what do you know. Over at Seibertron, he was lovingly nicknamed "Hans". :LOL:
