In the modern era, starting with ''[[Infiltration]]'' in 2006, isn't it sorta indeterminate when 2007 is, comic wise? Sure, ''[[Escalation]]'' was published in late 2006-2007, but chronologically it starts right after ''Infiltration''/''[[Stormbringer]]''. Also, while the miniseries is released over a 6-month span, it actually takes place over a few days (weeks at most). Perhaps we should just combine 2006 and 2007 to 2006+ and just list the events in the order in which they happened. Thoughts? --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 14:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC) | In the modern era, starting with ''[[Infiltration]]'' in 2006, isn't it sorta indeterminate when 2007 is, comic wise?

I'm pretty sure it's been explicitly stated that the IDW's Beast Wars title is NOT in continuity with their main G1-based stuff. Even if that weren't incredibly obvious by it's very nature. --KilMichaelMcC 08:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hrm, that sounds a bit familiar. Clearly I was thrown by the consistent-with-BW lethal energon fields in the Shockwave Spotlight. I shall remove it from the timeline. -Derik 08:27, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
"6.2 metacycles ago, with 1 metacycle = 13 months" uh, that would make the events of the first Ark happen 80.6 months ago, not 6.7 million years.... --UndeadScottsman 11:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Forgot the million, sorry. --ItsWalky 16:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
2006/2007
In the modern era, starting with Infiltration in 2006, isn't it sorta indeterminate when 2007 is, comic wise? Sure, Escalation was published in late 2006-2007, but chronologically it starts right after Infiltration/Stormbringer. Also, while the miniseries is released over a 6-month span, it actually takes place over a few days (weeks at most). Perhaps we should just combine 2006 and 2007 to 2006+ and just list the events in the order in which they happened. Thoughts? --MistaTee 14:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't really see the kids hanging out with the Autobots for a year between Infiltration and Escalation...--Nevermore 07:25, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
- I thought we got some sort of in-universe date reference in Devastation saying Infiltration was just a few months ago...? -Derik 00:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Clean up?
The Infiltration/Escalation/Devastation sections seem way too long and detailed for a timeline. Shouldn't things like Sixshot's battle with the Autobots be like one or two sentences long, rather than an issue-by-issue citing of events? I'm asking 'cause it's possible somebody's trying to verify that the events can really happen at the pace they're portrayed (which is a laudable goal given the current furor over at Spotlight: Arcee), but I suspect it's mostly a result of things being added piecemeal as each issue comes out, without any re-writing of previous material. -- Repowers 00:39, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I agree, a cleanup is in order, and we haven't even added in the events of the last three Spotlights in the current era, yet. --FFN 05:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Don't the events of Spotlight Arcee take place before the end of Devastation? --FFN 10:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
A few notes - Spotlight Wheelie clearly takes place sometime AFTER all the other ones so far, as the decepticons who die in it are all under Megatron's command in AHM. So that gives us some context to add it. Also I'd argue for Spotlight Kup occuring sometime earlier than listed here. --Sunyavadin
- Wrong on Spotlight Kup. Springer shows up in the comic following the events of Stormbringer. --Detour 04:32, 17 March 2009 (EDT)
