Doug and Transformers? shades of UF . . .
Anyway, two notes:
The NEW AMERICAN Transformers has its own continuity, wherein the G1 storyline is kept for the most part but the backstory is changed and there is an obvious divergence before the movie, since the ark blew up and they were all in comas . . .
U.S. Beast Wars/Beast Machines were set up as sequels, since all those characters were not the "real" Optimus Prime, Megatron, etc. but their . . . successors, I suppose. (The only two original transformers that showed up and spoke were Starscream, Soundwave and Vector Sigma) but they also made references to the marvel comic, Primus being the big one.
But I digress . . .
-Murmur the Fallen
who, even though not a huge transfan, did get a kick out of optimus prime and optimus primal staring at each other when primal took the matrix.
