Revision as of 03:40, 23 June 2017
World War II was a gigantic military conflict on 20th Century Earth. The Axis, the belligerent faction in the war, included the Empire of Japan and Cobra. It followed a previous world war.
In order to win the war, both the United States of America and the Axis worked on creating "super-soldiers": men enhanced by scientific treatments to the peak of human ability.
The United States and its allies won in the end. Victory, though, only led to further conflict.

Various battles were fought against Japan in the Pacific. One such battle was at Guadalcanal in 1943, where U.S. forces battled the Japanese. The debris would still be there in 1985. Starscream's Brigade
In 2006, Jessica Morgan believed that if the Hate Plague were to get out in the open, it would make World War II look a schoolyard brawl. The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1
Transformers/G.I. Joe
The Fera Islands based Cobra, in this reality having Decepticon assistance, conquered much of Europe between 1938 and 1939. This brought the United States into the war. Transformers/G.I. Joe

Notes
- Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II uses a lot of concepts and terms from World War II for its history of the Great War, particularly the Pacific Theater (though the Decepticons' strategic bombing campaign is more akin to the European Theater). In addition, the Quintessons are mentioned as controlling a "Co-Prosperity Sphere", the same term Japan used for its conquered territories.
