<p>99.64.193.41: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]], the toyline name under which [[BotCon]] and [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] toys and fiction have been released from ''2005—present'' is '''not a [[Continuity family|continuity family]].'''<br /> <br /> A continuity family is a set of closely related continuities, such as the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] family, whose members are all based on the original 1984 toyline. '''Timelines''' is an [[Umbrella franchise|umbrella franchise]], telling tales set in the Generation 1, [[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]] and [[Unicron Trilogy]] continuity families as well as [[Shattered Glass (franchise)|new]], [[Axiom Nexus|previously unseen]] universes.<br /> <br /> Though franchises have ''generally'' aligned with continuity families in the past, this is not always the case. And ''seriously''? It shouldn't be this hard. If a story [[Games of Deception|uses all Generation 1 characters]], it's probably part of the Generation 1 continuity family.<br /> <br /> <br /> Other things which are ''not a continuity family'' include:<br /> <br /> * ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]''<br /> * ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]''<br /> <br /> <br /> Because Timelines is &lt;u&gt;not&lt;/u&gt; a continuity family, describing a character with ''Murdertron is a Decepticon in the Timelines continuity family'' is '''wrong'''. Timelines can mean ''any'' continuity, or any continuity-family. Using the term as if it represented a singular ''anything'' is utterly meaningless.<br /> <br /> If you do this, you will be murdered.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Help]]</div>
