12,000,000,000 years ago

The galaxy is born. The alien scientist Primacron is born soon after. Primacron creates a sentient, planet-sized robot life form called Unicron that feeds on mechanical planets and robot life forms, but it rebels against him, injuring the scientist. Primacron's Assistant, the Oracle, flees. The Oracle later reaches a desolate planet in the center of the galaxy and changes it into a verdant world. In the far future, the Oracle senses that Primacron will create Tornedron, which can absorb all energy. To battle this menace, the Oracle summons Grimlock and other beast Transformers from the future to tell them how to destroy the threat.<ref>Kiss Players timeline. In its original English and Japanese versions, the events of this episode do not suggest any time travel to have occurred, but the new merged Japanese timeline retconned it in to prevent a conflict with the new idea that the Oracle has become Vector Sigma by the modern day.</ref> Call of the Primitives

The conquering Quintessons immigrate to the Oracle's green planet. There, they obtain the Oracle's shell, the Matrix of Leadership. The Oracle, who has the ability to give robots life, is turned into the ultra computer Vector Sigma.<ref name="KP">Kiss Players timeline</ref> His safety key has the power to make organic life into machines, The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1 and is used by the Quintessons to transform his world into the machine planet Cybertron. On the planet, the Quintessons attempt to create Trans-Organics as a fusion between robotic and organic life, but fail and seal them up deep within the planet. The Dweller in the Depths

Not deterred by the Trans-Organic failure, the Quintessons mass-produce civilian and military robot life forms, the ancestors of the Autobots and Decepticons, as slaves. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4 The first of these is named A3. Forever Is a Long Time Coming

The Quintesson that would later be known as the Seeker, tries to convince the other Quintessons of the potential in their slave robots. All he receives is mockery. Still afraid of the inevitable rebellion, he flees Cybertron and dedicates himself to gathering the entirety of information in the Universe. He eventually becomes the Seeker, a god-like entity made of data. A Treasure's True Worth Another Quintesson, Mara-Al-Utha, practices heresy by performing magic and is banished by his fellow Quintessons to the magical dimension of Menonia through a portal on Cybertron. The portal is sealed up and ignored in the millions of years that follow. At Menonia, Mara-Al-Utha takes control of the realm from his teacher, the Golden One, and adopts the identity of the "Red Wizard". Madman's Paradise

The Matrix is acquired from the Quintessons<ref name="KP"/> and possessed by Primon, who passes it on to Prima, a gladiator. Prima is killed by the Quintessons for rebellion and so the Matrix is given to Prime Nova. Their wisdom and memories are collected in the Matrix, as are those of later bearers. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4

True to the Seeker's predictions, the intelligent robots of Cybertron, perhaps inspired by the example of Prima, develop emotions and revolt, with A3 and Beta as leaders. Quintesson interference from the future attempts to stop the rebellion, but Autobots from that time are caught up in the mess, being transported to this time while A3 is transported to the future. Thanks to the efforts of the 2010 Autobots, things are put in their proper place and the rebellion continues. Forever Is a Long Time Coming They chase the Quintessons from the planet. The species, however, then splits into two—the military Decepticons and the civilian Autobots. The two factions declare war against each other, beginning the first of many wars. The Autobots, lacking combat capabilities, are massacred, forcing many to flee Cybertron. Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2 The Matrix becomes a sigil associated with Autobot leadership and is possessed by Guardian Prime. Guardian Prime dies early in the war and the Matrix is picked up by Zeta Prime. As the War rages on, the Autobots develop technology allowing them to transform their bodies. With this ability, Sentinel Prime, the new Matrix-bearer, defeats the Decepticon leader, ushering in the Golden Age of Cybertron.

Several centuries later, the Decepticons gain the same transformation technology. The species becomes the "Transformers". Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4

Amid those events, Orion's girlfriend, Ariel, is also injured and rebuilt into Elita One, later leader of the Female Autobots. War Dawn

Crystal City is built by the Constructicons and guarded by the Guardian robot Omega Supreme, who befriends the builders. This peaceful friendship would end when Megatron used the Robo-Smasher on his builders, converting them into Decepticons. Convincing Omega Supreme to leave his post, the Constructicons destroy Crystal City. Full of anger, Omega hunts down his former friends and attempts to reverse their reprogramming, but is unsuccessful. The Constructicons are rebuilt to be able to combine into Devastator. Devastator tries to have the Robo-Smasher brainwash Omega Supreme, but the Autobot destroys the device before it can do irreversible damage. The Secret of Omega Supreme

Millennia after the Ark crash, the descendants of the Autobots and Decepticons—Maximals and Predacons—come from the future via transwarp technology and crash onto Earth. To survive in the energon-rich atmosphere, the crews of both ships scan the animals of Earth in order to transform into them. None of the Maximals and Predacons are aware of where they have crashed, calling the planet "Energoa". Only Megatron knows the truth, preemptively blowing up the entrance to the Ark at Mount St. Hilary. The Agenda (Part III) For now, he is simply content with gathering the ubiquitous energon for conquering Cybertron. Dinobot is kicked out of the Predacons Beast Wars (Part 1) and reservedly joins the Maximals. The Beast Wars begin. Beast Wars (Part 2) Both forces are bolstered by Maximal protoforms in stasis pods ejected before the Axalon crashed. The new warriors include the Maximals Tigatron (BW) Fallen Comrades and Airazor; The Spark and the Predacons Blackarachnia Double Jeopardy and Inferno.

Their devices on the planet include the Standing Stones Chain of Command and Brigadoon. The Trigger, Part 1 The Trigger, Part 2 Inferno finds and brings an Golden Disk of Vok origin to Megatron. Before the Storm Their experiment reaches a climax when they deem the Maximals and the Predacons to have contaminated the planet and activate the Planet Buster to destroy the planet's surface, first detonating much of the energon on Earth. Optimus Primal destroys the device before it can scorch the Earth, but Megatron's machinations assure that Primal is also destroyed in the process. Other Voices, Part 2 From the explosion, a far-reaching quantum surge is generated that fundamentally alters the physiology of some Beast Warriors, creating Transmetals. Aftermath The quantum surge also creates the Fuzors Silverbolt and Quickstrike from damaged stasis pods. Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1) Through Rhinox's efforts at pulling his spark out of the Matrix, Optimus Primal is resurrected in a Transmetal body. Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)

The Agenda (Part III) A copy of his personality programming is preserved in the flight recorder. Ghosts of the Past Out of options, Megatron ambushes Silverbolt and Blackarachnia, who were investigating Mount St. Hilary and discovered the Ark. Using Blackarachnia's datatrax from the Golden Disk, Megatron accesses the Ark and blasts Optimus Prime's head in an attempt to change history to one more preferable to the Decepticons and Predacons. As a result, a timestorm occurs. The Agenda (Part III) To Megatron's disappointment, the Maximals repair the damaged Autobot leader. As part of the repair, Optimus Primal safeguards the legendary Transformer's spark in his body; in the process, his body metamorphoses into a gigantic and more powerful form.

Depth Charge, having no faith in Primal's ability to dispose of Protoform X, follows X's signature and is sucked into a temporal anomaly, becoming Transmetallized in the process and ending up on prehistoric Earth along with Primal's crew. X, now Rampage, made his stay permanent by destroying his ship. Deep Metal Using technology acquired from the Vok, Megatron created new beings to bolster his forces, including the Cyber-Raptors Cutting Edge and a Transmetal 2 clone of Dinobot with Rampage's spark fragment. Feral Scream Part 1 Through an accident, Cheetor also becomes a Transmetal 2. Feral Scream Part 2 Blackarachnia intentionally triggers the same process on herself, becoming a full-fledged Maximal in the process. Crossing the Rubicon

Desiring an upgrade for himself, Megatron concocts a plan to enter the Ark and take the original Megatron's spark into himself. Tarantulas tries to betray Megatron and destroy the Ark, but he fails when Megatron rises from the lava in a new form with a dragon mode and Blackarachnia stops the Ark's self-destruct. Master Blaster Megatron's new body, however, is of little help when the Vok deem him guilty of interfering with the timestream and sentence him to death. The aliens combine the abducted bodies of Tigatron and Airazor into a new warrior, Tigerhawk, and use him as their emissary to Earth. Just as Tigerhawk is about to deliver the killing blow to Megatron, he is paralyzed by Tarantulas, who has plans for the Transformer and the Vok inside him. His plans are foiled by Cheetor and the Predacon dies along with the Vok. The wayward sparks of Tigatron and Airazor find their rightful places in Tigerhawk. Other Victories

Searching the remains of the dead Tarantulas's lair, Megatron finds the Nemesis and activates it, setting his sights on destroying the anthropoids and the Ark. In his rampage, he kills Inferno, Quickstrike, and Tigerhawk. Rampage and Depth Charge have their final confrontation on the ocean bottom, killing each other. Nemesis Part 1 Optimus Primal flies into the gigantic ship and tries to stop his power-mad nemesis, but the Predacon's power is too much for him to handle. Dinobot, having a change of heart brought on by the destruction of Rampage's spark half, relays the loaction of a hidden Autobot shuttle in the Ark to the Maximals. Rhinox flies it through the bridge of the Nemesis, catching Megatron on the windshield. The Nemesis crashes off into the horizon, with Dinobot in it. The Beast Wars over, the Maximals take off in the Autobot shuttle back to their time with Megatron tied on the side of the shuttle.

In the nick of time, the Autobots escape, along with Bullhorn and Wilder, who were left behind by the other Decepticons. The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform Bullhorn and Wilder strike off on their own while Hydra and Buster request Devil Z to change them into fully robotic beings so that they can finally defeat Ginrai.

The Pretenders leave the scene before Ginrai arrives and saves Overlord from one of Devil Z's punishments. Sixknight comes to the rescue to stall Devil Z and is killed himself. Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z Ginrai and Devil Z have one final battle where Ginrai is assisted by many, including Grand and Overlord. As an ultimate punishment, Devil Z transforms the Overlord transtector into an individual on its own and kills Giga and Mega. Ginrai destroys BlackZarak, revealing Devil Z underneath and the Autobot Headmaster Juniors combine their energies with Ginrai to end Devil Z's existence once and for all.
