| 1 | [[WMG: The game takes place in its own universe]] |
| 2 | * The game is neither in the Aligned continuity,nor the Bayverse. This explains why Megatron looks like ''Fall of Cybertron'' Megatron, even though he didn't have this design yet. It also explains the movieverse being a major part of the game. |

| 4 | [[WMG: Some of the differences between the Movie portions and the actual Age of Extinction could plausibly be explained as follows.]] |
| 5 | * Since the Autobots are just there in the city with no human opposition and still concerned for them, the movie portions likely take place shortly after ''Dark of the Moon'', but years before ''Age of Extinction''. The anti-Transformer sentiments regarding the Battle of Chicago probably took a while to dawn and sink in on people, like any mass hatred towards any group for any reason. |
| 6 | * Lockdown's shifting characterization between [[OpportunisticBastard this game]] and [[ItsPersonal the movie]] could have been [[spoiler:Quintessa brainwashing him]], like [[spoiler:she would]] with Optimus. The lack of [[spoiler: a glowing scar]] on Lockdown can be chalked up to ''The Last Knight'' not being thought up yet, and the staff of the movie not finding adherence to this tie-in game a big priority. |
| 7 | * Also, Lockdown not knowing [[spoiler:Megatron wasn't really dead]]- the Autobots didn't know, either, and construction on [[spoiler:Galvatron]] only began when [-KSI-] obtained and tinkered with his parts. Plus, Lockdown was working with Attinger, not with Joyce (who didn't even know about Lockdown). However, this still leaves the plothole of Stinger's dual existence in Lockdown's mercenaries and as a [-KSI-] invention. |
| 8 | * Optimus and Bumblebee already having their Age of Extinction designs could either be artistic license to strengthen the tie-in with the movie, or they just scanned the new alts after Dark of the Moon, scanned a different look after Cemetery Wind was formed, and re-rescanned the new movie cars. |
| 9 | * The Autobots' pre-existing alliance with the Dinobots could be explained as the opening scene of Age of Extinction taking place in the years between movies and the 'bots breaking free of their icy prison. From the cutscenes, it's discernible the intent for Grimlock chasing off the mercenaries was giving a window of opportunity for him and the other dinos' capture. |
