In Transformers, the Multiverse is the overall collection of universes and timelines. The Multiverse consists of a very large number of universes, millions of which have been cataloged as universal streams.
Fiction
The Transformers cartoon
Traveler's tip: If you survive passage through a black hole you may end up in a negative universe. To get back, try traveling back through the corresponding white hole. The Killing Jar
A portal room exits down Cybertron's Planetary Corridor CB-311-B4 which was used by the Quintessons when they ruled the planet to exile prisoners to alternate dimensions. The selectable dimensions include: an ice world, a place with no physical substance, and Menonia. Madman's Paradise
Marvel Comics continuity
Marvel The Transformers comics
Galvatron was tricked into blowing up what he thought was Starscream, twenty years before the Seeker was meant to die. He believed this meant he'd created an alternate timeline, and what he did in the past wouldn't affect the future of his reality. Target: 2006
A universe existed outside of our own, Limbo, where people displaced by time travel ended up. Distant Thunder!
Galvatron II was taken from a hellhole universe when Unicron had triumphed, Cybertron was destroyed, and the Decepticons ruled the Americas. Rhythms of Darkness!
Regeneration One
When Hot Rod returned to the Primus chamber with the Dinobots, he had a vision of numerous multiversal versions of himself. Destiny, Part Three Primus, using Grimlock as a vessel, sent Hot Rod on a journey through Zero Space, the void that exists between realities. Destiny, Part Four While the journey through Zero Space took him to three periods of his own timeline's past, the final stop was on a planet of junk in Galvatron II's timeline, where the Unicron-empowered Decepticon destroyed Hot Rod's counterpart, Rodimus Prime. Unobserved by the victorious Decepticons, Hot Rod was able to recover his counterpart's Matrix and return to his own timeline, reborn as Rodimus Prime himself. Less Than Zero
However, "Primus" turned out to be the corrupted fragment of Matrix energy that had empowered the Deathbringer more than two decades earlier. Dark Creation Rodimus had witnessed that this energy had survived the destruction of the Deathbringer Less Than Zero, and this "Dark Matrix creature", having gained sentience, had been manipulating events ever since. When Primus brought the Transformers on Earth back to Cybertron in order to confront Unicron The Void! (US), he had inadvertently brought the creature back as well. It had hidden itself in the shadows, stirring up the Demons in the aftermath of the conflict, and hoping to draw upon the chaos that followed the demise of Primus. But when the Last Autobot was activated and able to stabilize the planet, the creature found it could not thrive on the ensuing peace. It had manipulated Soundwave into restarting the war; it had reawakened Galvatron on Earth and brought him back to Cybertron; and it had affected events on Nebulos, culminating in the possession of the original head of Fortress Maximus and kidnapping Circuit Smasher from Earth. And when it was ready to launch its endgame, it corrupted nearly every Transformer left on Cybertron, turning them all into shadow-leeches.
The creature was now using Spike, whom to it represented the "trinity"—a fusion of the worlds of Earth, Cybertron, and Nebulos (having undergone the Headmaster process)—as a focal point for the chaos energies generated on those worlds. The creature intended to use those energies to shatter the barriers of Zero Space and spread itself throughout the multiverse, so that it could create even more chaos.
Rodimus Prime, using the Covenant of Primus to reenter Zero Space and bearing the Sword of Primus, confronted the creature, who beset upon Rodimus three versions of Optimus Prime—his present self, alongside two past forms, all corrupted by the creature, although the present Optimus struggled to resist the corruption. The weakened dimensional barriers, however, allowed Rodimus Prime's multiversal counterparts to enter Zero Space and join the fray.
As the other Rodimuses attacked the creature, Optimus regained his senses long enough to reveal what he'd learned of Primus's grand plan—that it would ultimately result in the creation of an optimum universe made up of the best elements of the other universes. Since the creature could not be destroyed, only contained, the only way to prevent it from corrupting the grand plan was to seal off their own universe forever. Using this knowledge, Rodimus was able to snap Spike out of his fugue, allowing him to break free. Rodimus then prevented the creature from escaping into the closing crack by sealing it with the Sword of Primus. With the creature trapped, Optimus, Rodimus, and Spike were returned to the Primus chamber, and the other Rodimuses returned to their home realities. The War to End All Wars, Part 5
Universe
Unicron kidnapped Decepticons from the various universes in order to assemble an army. Meanwhile, Primus recruited his own army of Autobots. Universe CD-ROM
Unicron abducted Transformers from the various universes in order to fight in gladiatorial combat. Abduction
Dreamwave Armada comic
Unicron had devoured many realities. While he was still finishing up devouring one reality he sent that reality's fatally wounded Optimus Prime on ahead to the next reality he planned to consume as a warning. He also sent five heralds ahead in order to prepare for his arrival. At the same time, Over-Run arrived from a different reality bearing the Mini-Con Matrix and hoping to stop Unicron from devouring another reality, like his was devoured.
The heralds of Unicron were tasked with defeating Cybertronian leadership and centers of power and capture the Mini-Con Matrix. They used the Decepticons' space bridge network to open portals to other realities in order to initiate "phase two" of Unicron's plan. The heralds failed at all of their tasks. Worlds Collide
When Unicron entered the new reality, he was unaware of his heralds' failure. Instead of disorder, he found a unified alliance of Autobots, Decepticons, and Mini-Cons. With the help of the Mini-Con Matrix, they were able to defeat Unicron, who apparently blew up. The End
TransTech
The Transcendent Technomorphs watched over the multiverse, welcoming travelers from the various universes at the city of Axiom Nexus. They have an extensive catalog of the universal streams. Withered Hope
Alternity
Animated
A trans-dimensional Vector Prime observed some of the events in the Transformers Animated comic and identified the cartoon's universal stream. Venus was a trans-dimensional magazine. Jim Sorenson and Bill Forster traveled from their home universal stream of Quadwal -3760.925 Theta where they wrote the AllSpark Almanac. Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac
Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II
IDW Generation 1 continuity
The crew of the original Ark first explored the cosmos and were drawn through a portal in the Benzuli Expanse into the Dead Universe where they were corrupted by the immortal darkness and plotted to eventually invade their native dimension.
Years later, the living universe was infested by zombie invaders under the control of an interloper from a Transformer-free universe (Although the zombie Undermind was not a native of that universe). This universe was actually a sort of hub which spread the plague to other fascinating universes. Infestation
Years later, from the very same world responsible for the zombie outbreak, a plague of non-euclidean horrors spread across dimensions . This time the chaos was unleashed into a different universe inhabited by Transformers and of course some other strange realms.
Odds are this won't be the end of it. Infestation 2
Unit:E
The (or a) world of the Transformers is just one of a multiverse of limitless possibilities. (Other possibilities include G.I. Joe, M.A.S.K., Jem, and a couple other guys you might know.)
Notes
- Hasbro does not appear to consider the Aligned continuity family as a component of the Transformers multiverse. In particular, some characters that should be multiversal singularities seem to be different characters from their non-Aligned counterparts.
Foreign names
- Japanese: Multi-Verse of Eternity (from World of the Transformers)
