RiD2015 Windblade basically just slept through TFP’s multiple apocalypse scenarios while Optimus Prime and his team were getting their asses kicked, and then woke up to fight furries.

I mean, the writers could have specified that Windblade was still traveling through space while the previous show was happening, but I don’t remember that from the episode in which she’s introduced.

Watching Transformers: Prime, I got so used to everyone just casually transforming their hands into weapons and tools that I find it weird to see RiD’s cast hold guns.

Some Decepticons in Robots in Disguise (2015) are just so dumb, I doubt that they would have the intelligence required to pick a side between Autobots and Decepticons. It wouldn’t surprise me if the canon, in-universe explanation for them being part of Megatron’s army was that their friends just slapped a Decepticon symbol on them to prevent them from being killed by others when the war started.

“Filch? Yes she only screeches about shiny things but she’s *puts Decepticon magnet on her* totally one of us! All hail Megatron!”

“Springload? You can see that he already wears the insignia! I had to tell him that it will help him reach that thing he keeps talking about, but he’s totally convinced of our cause!“
