NO NO NO. You have you're facts entirely wrong. First of all these stories and G1 are in entirely different universes, so they are not messing up G1 in the least. Second of all, it's Prime, Rescue Bots, WFC, FOC, Exiles, and Exodus that are in the same continuity famliy: The Aligned Continuity. The movies are not part of The Aligned Continuity Family in any way and I am not sure how you got the idea that they were. Also, the aligned continuity's explanation for the dinobots actually makes perfect sense within the continuity. After all, Ratchet can't fix Bee's voicebox let alone create five full Cybertronians: and Wheeljack is a rogue and the extent of his inventiveness is trying to blow up Soundwave with a hidden bomb inside of Laserbeak. Plus good luck creating a group of five cybertronians without a source of sparks, which neither the Autobots or the Decepticons have.
