Yeah, you're sure sickburnin' me there about _my_ "rants", what with the _over 5500_ increasingly histrionic words you've spent desperately trying to justify your agenda-based misuse of just one.

If your strategy is to read two sentences in to something and declare victory, I think I'm beginning to see the root of the problem. Ordinarily I'd suggest just... looking at the pictures, but you clearly didn't actually do that.

Here's the part you should have kept scrolling to. [bq]*Everything is canon.*
In Transformers, "canon" is for all intents and purposes a synonym for "official". If it was released by a Transformers licensor with Hasbro approval, then it is canonical. However, simply being canonical doesn't say anything about what continuity or continuities it applies to.
3H and IDW have both released comics which take place "just offscreen" during the Beast Wars cartoon, but these comics contradict each other. Rather than the later IDW comics invalidating the 3H story or retconning it out of existence, the two are simply relegated to separate but closely parallel universes. The same is true for IDW's use of Japan's Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo characters, which puts the characters in a different time zone and alters some of their personalities; the anime and the comics are simply using versions of the same basic characters.[/bq] Since three sentences is apparently a space bridge too far, I'll go ahead and quote their page on "personal canon":http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Personal_canon here as well, because it cuts to the heart of why you remain, as ever, wrong: [bq]A *personal canon*, *headcanon*, (or a more limited *personal continuity*) is one fan's interpretation of the Transformers mythos. This can range from picking and choosing stories and characters that they favor and assembling them as they like, to discarding one or two distasteful properties from an otherwise accepted continuity. A personal canon can also be various events from different universes brought together into one single storyline (e.g. G1 and the Unicron Trilogy in the same universe).[/bq][bq]On a more simple level, personal canon can refer to an individual fan's overall preference for certain interpretations of the Transformers mythos over multiple continuities, such as saying "Quintessons are cool, as long as they didn't create the Transformers", or the acceptance/assumption of the popular retcon that Transformers have sparks in all timelines.[/bq] ...Sound familiar?
