Transformers: Continuum is a one-shot comic book set in the IDW Generation 1 continuity chronicling the history of the Transformers.[1]

Unfortunately, instead of correcting errors, Continuum presents the reader with new ones, such as:

Pre-Decepticon Megatron is said to be a slave, when in actuality, he was a paid energon miner who lost his job. Apparently, Megatron objected to being freed.

The Autobots' stand against Thunderwing is said to be on Nebulos, when it was actually on Cybertron.

It is said that the "Autobots believed Sunstreaker and Hunter were dead, and thus did not search for them," despite the discovery that Sunstreaker's "body" was a decoy and the subsequent rescue attempt being half the plot of Escalation.

Scorponok's fight with Ultra Magnus on Nebulos in Spotlight: Ultra Magnus is placed chronologically after Maximum Dinobots.

Megatron is said to have died when Spike Witwicky shot him at the end of All Hail Megatron, despite this never being the case and him being shown to be alive in a later issue.

Events in the past are said to be "legend" and "unknown" when almost everyone who experienced those events are still alive and on active duty to this day.

Various classic Generation 1-style Autobots and Decepticons (though with Movie-styled detailing) surrounding Spike Witwicky, by Ken Christiansen.
