Yesss! <3 Cybertron is instantly recognizable, even has the torn-apart sections below just like G1...
Yeah, continuity between this and Bayverse is dubious at best. Consensus seems to be that Hasbro wants to be able to play it both ways - it's either a prequel or a softish reboot. Simmons is a junior agent here, there's a Sector 7 headquartered under Hoover Dam, but...the timeline doesn't make a lick of sense. The timeline in strictly Bayverse doesn't make any sense either, though Captain Continuity aka John Barber took a stab at it and managed to string things together...sort of. It's a prequel if it doesn't do well enough to make more along this line. It's a reboot if it makes enough money. Sigh.
I'd rather think of it as a reboot; closely related but a separate universe. There were seven more Autobots coming down there at the end, with Bee and Prime setting up camp and waiting for them... (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ✧
