In 2008, the Decepticons seized New York City and began hitting other sites across the planet.

Notes
[edit]- To briefly summarize political history beyond the scope of this wiki, the real-life European Union was officially formed in 1993, overhauling the European Economic Community which had previously been created in 1957. Naturally, Generation 1 authors were aware of this political trend but did not quite predict the result correctly. Thus, the 1987 children's book "Battle Beneath the Ice" had the Federation of Western Europe existing in 2000 while the 1990 comic story "Rhythms of Darkness!" used the European Crisis Coalition in 2009.
- Despite the similar names, the EU is separate from the ESA. Thus, it is not unrealistic for a fictional United Kingdom to participate in the ESA in the post-Brexit 2020s, if that is indeed the case in the world of Transformers: The Last Knight.
