It notably is more explicit in taking place in writer [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]]'s [[Personal canon\|personal timeline]], which largely ignores the Japanese ''Transformers'' franchise from ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)\|The Headmasters]]'' onwards in favour of hewing closer to the media and toy ranges released in [[Hasbro]]'s markets. As such, this story takes place in a world where the events of "[[The Rebirth, Part 1\|The Rebirth]]" took place, and serves as a direct "prequel" to the story of the [[Action Master]] toys released by Hasbro in [[1990]].

	**The text of the prose story itself places the events in 2013, a date arrived at by incorporating the way that the Japanese dub of [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|the G1 cartoon]]'s third season skips the year forward to 2010—if 1986's toyline "takes place" in 2010, and the Nucleon Quest is akin to an imaginary [[1989]] prologue to 1990's Action Masters, then it would take place in 2013.		** The text of the prose story itself places the events in 2013, a date arrived at by incorporating the way that the Japanese dub of [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|the G1 cartoon]]'s third season skips the year forward to 2010—if 1986's toyline "takes place" in 2010, and the Nucleon Quest is akin to an imaginary [[1989]] prologue to 1990's Action Masters, then it would take place in 2013.
