What do you think?

Honestly I think I underestimated the amount of effort this thread carries. With all of the other threads and personal life, I haven't even finished watching season 1 of the Transformers

Oh found It, finally. Ok I'm actually thinking about counting the DW Transformers comics as Canon to the cartoon continuity (DW Is not IDW) Since they have a resemblance to the cartoon and follow its lore. The War within starts soon After the flashback where Megs kills Sentinel in the cartoon, Also OP and Megs saw their future, their Battle that happens on the second episode from the cartoon and a section with rodimus. Optimus gives Megatron a lobotomy with one punch (not joking, so he forgot everything) the backstory of OP Is different, but can be worked together with War dawn. And finally the main comic Takes Place in 2002, sparkblug Witwicky died in 1998 and Daniel Is a Little kid. The only thing that separate this from the continuity Is that Vector Prime gives an alternate designation, but I think if the comic continued we would eventualy got into the movie. So for me their inclusion can work. What do you think?

IMO, that should be considered a different universe. I also remember seeing an interview or something a while ago where it was officially stated to be seperate.

In my view, the G1 cartoon canon consists of:
1.) The G1 cartoon itself
2.) The season 5 live action Powermaster Optimus segments
3.) Rodimus vs Cyclonus (many characters are shown with different designs during the 86 movie era in this comic, but that's just for toy advertisement purposes)
4.) Transformers Madman comic
