A timeline for the events of IDW Publishing's mainline Transformers series.
Timeline
Millions of Years Ago
~ 6.7 million B.C. - The first Ark was launched and subsequently lost. [1]
Hundreds of Thousands of Years Ago
~650,000 B.C. - Shockwave begins planning Regenesis, and begins distilling energon into a catalyst which he then launches at various planets, including prehistoric Earth. [2] Spotlight: Shockwave
Thousands of Years Ago
? B.C. — Shockwave openly leaves the Decepticons to begin stablising his Regenesis planets. However, he is followed by the Dynobots, out for revenge; and on Earth - the first of the planets - they engage him in combat. While he defeats them, he is deactivated by a failsafe set by Grimlock, as the Dynobots' ship triggers a volcanic eruption which buries all six in Eureka, Nevada.[3] Spotlight: Shockwave
? B.C. - Megatron, on discovering Shockwave's absence, assigns Bludgeon to investigate his projects Spotlight: Shockwave - and Soundwave to watch over Bludgeon. Spotlight: Soundwave
Hundreds of Years Ago
~1550 A.D. — Thunderwing renders Cybertron uninhabitable.[4] Stormbringer
Last Hundred Years
1984 — Soundwave investigates Bludgeon's activities on Earth and is deactivated when Bludgeon, after some of Shockwave's Regenesis ore - called "Ultra-Energon" by him - triggers the eruption of Mount St. Helens (4 years later than in the real world.) Spotlight: Soundwave
1985 - Soundwave, Ravage and Laserbeak are excavated by Skywatch. Interest is taken in the cassettes, found in "robot mode", but Soundwave is apparently discarded. Spotlight: Soundwave
~1988 — Ultra Magnus tracks the Decepticon criminal Scorponok to Nebulos, but despite damages, he escapes. [5]
Current era
2002
- Current era of Transformer activity on Earth begins.
2006
- Shockwave's hand is discovered in an excavation in Nevada.
- Starscream's Infiltration unit on Earth discovers Shockwave's Regenesis ore, dubbing it "Ore-13".
- Thunderwing is reactivated on Cybertron by Bludgeon using the "Ultra-Energon", and decimates Nebulos before returning to Cybertron and running out of fuel in front of Optimus Prime.
- Megatron arrives, and blows a hole through Starscream for disloyalty.
- After the Thunderwing debaclé, Optimus Prime follows to Earth, following Shockwave and Bludgeon's records.
2007
- Soundwave, trapped in alternate mode since 1984, is purchased from a junk shop.
- Excavation of Shockwave continues, now under Skywatch supervision, Shockwave and Grimlock's torsos exposed.
- Ravage and Laserbeak reactivated under Skywatch control.
Footnotes
- ↑ 6.2 million metacycles ago, with 1 metacycle = 13 months
- ↑ "Six Hundred Thousand Meta-Cycles Ago"
- ↑ Exact time unknown, overlaps mammoth extinction, 5,000-10,000 years ago has been suggested.
- ↑ 700 stellar-cycles ago, so if a stellar cycle is ~7.5 months, then presumptively ~437 years ago.
- ↑ 29 stellar cycles ago, or 18 years
