G 1 Series IV
01 - 03 The Rebirth Parts 1 - 3

Japan wiped this triple parter and totally re did the plot as the first 3 episodes of The Headmasters. Hasbro was considering Series IV already but hadn't happened.

The re worked Rebirth was made as a new opening story in Japan who did do a full year with Headmasters.

I'm begging you to understand Toei didn't "redo" The Rebirth, it and The Headmasters were made by completely seperate production teams based on the toys.

Rebirth CANNOT be a reworked Headmasters cause Headmasters predated Rebirth! The toys themselves are indicative of this.

Japan would eventually release Rebirth, but in a transliteration that fits more with the West than with the Japanese G1 Continuity, which is its own convolution!

My man, I've said this before, please look at TFWiki. I have no idea where you're getting any of your ideas about Transformers continuity, but TFWiki will have actual information and answers to all of your questions.

If the perception is that they're just lying, then I resist and dissent!

Much of this condemnation ultimately stems from Wikipedia and the criticisms from academia, but academia has all but lost that conflict. You can't use it in a paper, but it's good enough to refine your research. However, most of the Wikia/Fandom pages are bonafide garbage cause they're poorly written, poorly organized, and contain one too many ads and links to the most mind-numbing of all the click-bait available. The TFWIKI is devoid of most of this! Some hate they're sarcasm and endless pop-culture references, but I think it's cute and ignore the whiners.

If you know enough to say that "Dark Awakening" had nothing to do with Bumblebee and Starscream buying a rabbit and horse farm, then you aren't completely ignorant and have something to offer!

Just to be clear I was saying Wentwood should really take a look at TFWiki, not AkibaSilver.

That much is clear, but I think Akiba latched onto your line of "actual information and answers" and ran with it. The video post seems to be an obvious swipe at TFWIKI's veracity and legitimacy. It could also be sarcasm on Akiba's part and I might have stupidly taken it too seriously (which I have a notorious tendency to do)!

My interpretation was that it was in response to Fredbob saying "I have no idea where you're getting your info," implying that the bad info was just made up.

Uhhh I was poking fun by following up Fredbob's question about "Where do you get your information" - I'm not sure why you jumped to accusing me of trying to throw shade on the wiki, but hope this clears up I'm not the Go-Bots wiki vandal or anything.
