== Update? ==

I've not yet read AHM, but it looks like this page hasn't been updated for about a year now. It's in desperate need of additions to MaxDino, Revelation, and AHM. We really could do with a sorted out chronology. Anyone up to the task?

I'm pretty sure it's been explicitly stated that the IDW's Beast Wars title is NOT in continuity with their main G1-based stuff. Even if that weren't incredibly obvious by it's very nature. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 08:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

:Hrm, that sounds a bit familiar. Clearly I was thrown by the consistent-with-BW lethal energon fields in the Shockwave Spotlight. I shall remove it from the timeline. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 08:27, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

"6.2 metacycles ago, with 1 metacycle = 13 months" uh, that would make the events of the first Ark happen 80.6 months ago, not 6.7 million years.... --[[User:UndeadScottsman|UndeadScottsman]] 11:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
: Forgot the million, sorry. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

== 2006/2007 ==

In the modern era, starting with ''[[Infiltration]]'' in 2006, isn't it sorta indeterminate when 2007 is, comic wise? Sure, ''[[Escalation (IDW)|Escalation]]'' was published in late 2006-2007, but chronologically it starts right after ''Infiltration''/''[[Stormbringer]]''. Also, while the miniseries is released over a 6-month span, it actually takes place over a few days (weeks at most). Perhaps we should just combine 2006 and 2007 to 2006+ and just list the events in the order in which they happened. Thoughts? --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 14:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, I don't really see the kids hanging out with the Autobots for a year between ''Infiltration'' and ''Escalation''...--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 07:25, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
::I thought we got some sort of in-universe date reference in Devastation saying Infiltration was just a few months ago...? -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 00:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

==Clean up?==
The Infiltration/Escalation/Devastation sections seem way too long and detailed for a timeline. Shouldn't things like Sixshot's battle with the Autobots be like one or two sentences long, rather than an issue-by-issue citing of events? I'm asking 'cause it's ''possible'' somebody's trying to verify that the events can really happen at the pace they're portrayed (which is a laudable goal given the current furor over at [[Spotlight: Arcee]]), but I suspect it's mostly a result of things being added piecemeal as each issue comes out, without any re-writing of previous material. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 00:39, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, I agree, a cleanup is in order, and we haven't even added in the events of the last three Spotlights in the current era, yet. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 05:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Don't the events of Spotlight Arcee take place before the end of Devastation? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 10:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
A few notes - Spotlight Wheelie clearly takes place sometime AFTER all the other ones so far, as the decepticons who die in it are all under Megatron's command in AHM. So that gives us some context to add it. Also I'd argue for Spotlight Kup occuring sometime earlier than listed here. --Sunyavadin
:Wrong on Spotlight Kup. Springer shows up in the comic following the events of Stormbringer. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 04:32, 17 March 2009 (EDT)
