Revision as of 23:29, 4 July 2015

The Transformers multiverse consists of at least 15,962,782 cataloged universal streams (1,176,325 of which have "come to termination"), according to the TransTech Cybertronians' exhaustive records.[1] There are at least 59,927,225 realities that the TransTech Cybertronians have yet to catalog.[2] Bug Bite claims that there are over fifteen quadrillion concurrent realities.[3]

Deciphering the terminology

Each universal stream's name consists of three parts, beginning with a noun which refers to the continuity family of origin, a number that indicates the "real world" date of creation, and a Greek letter that denotes the form of media. For example, "Primax 984.0 Gamma" refers to the Generation 1 Marvel Comics continuity, with "Primax" referring to the Generation 1 continuity family, "984.0" indicating a publication date of September 1984 (with "0" indicating an unknown day of publication), and "Gamma" denoting a comic book series.

List of known continuity family indicators:

Supplied by writers Greg Sepelak, Trent Troop, and Jim Sorenson, a list of Greek letters and the media to which they refer:

  • Alpha—animated series
  • Beta—tech spec/toy/pack-in comic only ("box")
  • Gamma—comic book series
  • Delta—motion picture/live action
  • Epsilon—club/convention fiction
  • Zeta—text stories, storybooks, and other prose works (printed)
  • Eta—radio/audiocentric universes, books on tape
  • Theta—live performance/spoken word
  • Iota—Internet-only information (not involved with club/convention)
  • Kappa—games (video and otherwise)
  • Lambda—covers, still images, and advertisements (there's so many Lambdas these days that Vector Prime stopped keeping track Ask Vector Prime)

Using this information, we could, in theory, determine the names of yet-unnamed universes on our own. For example, Primax 514.03 Gamma would be the designation for the IDW Transformers vs. G.I. Joe comic series.
