==Before the dawn of time==
* There once was a universe full of god-like beings, until [[Unicron|Unicron]] ate them all and the universe they inhabited.  But remnants coalesced, forming a new universe, and this new universe created [[Primus|Primus]] to protect it. 
 
==Dawn of time==
* Primus traps Unicron and himself inside planetoids.  Unicron reforms his physical form into a being that can transform between robot and planet modes.  Primus plans to create a race of tiny beings that can do the same, but first he practices by cyberforming a moon, [[Protos|Protos]], and he creates a prototypical race, the [[Covenant|Covenant]], to inhabit it.  The Covenant are charged with preparing against the [[Omega Point|Omega Point]], a future cataclysm.  {{storylink|Reaching the Omega Point|Reaching the Omega Point}}
 
* [[Unicron|Unicron]] enlists the [[Quintesson|Quintessons]] to seek out the body of [[Primus|Primus]].  After discovering it in the form of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the Quintessons decided to tell Unicron about it ... later.  Forming a grand business venture, they tried to devise crude ways to control Primus's power, rejecting such prototype devices such as the [[Divine Light|Divine Light]] (which was lost).  The Quintessons eventually constructed a shell program for [[Vector Sigma|Vector Sigma]], called the [[Oracle|Oracle]].   {{storylink|Disclosure|Disclosure}}

The article includes Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Dreamwave, 3H Productions, and Fun Publications' issue as main contents.

For events from Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo, see Generation 1 cartoon timeline (Japan).

For events from IDW Publishing's issue, see Beast Wars timeline (IDW).

Before the dawn of time

  • There once was a universe full of god-like beings, until Unicron ate them all and the universe they inhabited. But remnants coalesced, forming a new universe, and this new universe created Primus to protect it.

Dawn of time

  • Primus traps Unicron and himself inside planetoids. Unicron reforms his physical form into a being that can transform between robot and planet modes. Primus plans to create a race of tiny beings that can do the same, but first he practices by cyberforming a moon, Protos, and he creates a prototypical race, the Covenant, to inhabit it. The Covenant are charged with preparing against the Omega Point, a future cataclysm. Reaching the Omega Point
  • Unicron enlists the Quintessons to seek out the body of Primus. After discovering it in the form of Cybertron, the Quintessons decided to tell Unicron about it ... later. Forming a grand business venture, they tried to devise crude ways to control Primus's power, rejecting such prototype devices such as the Divine Light (which was lost). The Quintessons eventually constructed a shell program for Vector Sigma, called the Oracle. Disclosure
  • But their creations, the Transformers, rebelled, and the Quintessons were forced off-planet. Disclosure

Four million years ago

Italicize its name and die.

  • The Nemesis is found by Predacon Megatron. Megatron tries to use the Nemesis to change history. However, the plan was stopped by the Maximals led by Optimus Primal.

Around 2015 AD

Latter 21st century AD

Around 311 AU

  • The Maximals create a Transformer based on Starscream's indestructible spark. They try to use him as an immortal warrior, but his mind proves too unstable to control. Bad Spark This "Protoform X" massacres Colony Omicron. All its residents are killed except for the heavily injured Depth Charge, the Imperial Peace Marshal of the colony.

Around 315 AU

  • Four stellar cycles after the massacre on Colony Omicron, Protoform X is captured and turned over to the Maximal Elders by Depth Charge. The Maximal Elders decide to place Protoform X in a stasis pod and dump him on some barren world in deep space. The mission is assigned to Optimus Primal and his ship, the Axalon. Bad Spark

It was an evolution revolution.
  • As Optimus Primal and his crew return to Cybertron via transwarp with the captured Megatron, Megatron escapes. He emerges on Cybertron in an earlier time period and uses a virus bomb to conquer the planet before Primal and his crew get there. Fires of the Past
