Beginning as an original universe loosely based on the original Beast Wars franchise, the Beast Wars: Uprising timeline was later revealed to be an offshoot reality from the original cartoon, based on what might have happened had Megatron successfully pulled off his scheme to kill the comatose Optimus Prime during the events of "The Agenda (Part III)". (Spoiler alert: Things don't go as well as he hoped.)

"Micro-Aggressions" notes that by the 24th century, human datekeeping has shifted from the original "BCE/CE" notation into the "BA/SCA" (Before Ark and Stellar Cycle of the Ark, respectively) chronology, referring to the years before and after the awakening of the Ark in 1984. For convenience, we have listed both dates where appropriate.

7 million years ago

  • Hoping to escape the war, a group of Transformer refugees flee their homeworld and colonize a small planet that they name Rebirth. Over the millennia, they give up the ability to transform in the name of peace and evolve into a civilization of tiny Cyberdroids. A Brush With Infamy

  • Humans perfect the noninvasive neural interface. Micro-Aggressions
  • A Cybertronian attack devastates the human colony of New Earth. The EDC declares human space off-limits to all Cybertronians, both Autobot and Decepticons. Micro-Aggressions

2023 (39 SCA)

  • Having reverse-engineered and improved on Transformer technology, humans reach the Human Singularity, where their technological development and power outpaces that of the Transformers.

  • The war effort struggles on within the Allowed Zone, as both sides battle for control over colony worlds like Gigantion and Paradron. A Brush With Infamy
  • Realizing that the growing power of the Human Confederacy makes them the true threat, Decepticon leader Galvatron [2] changes his priorities, and so he turns his attention to rebuilding his crumbling army. His search for more Headmasters and Targetmasters takes him to the backwater planet of Rebirth, which has degenerataed into a stagnant oligarchy ruled over by the feckless Optimus triumvirate. Galvatron and the Decepticons join with the Malignus, a faction of underground terrorists seeking to overthrow the Optimus. With the help of Nucleon, he binary-bonds to Nucleon, Doom-Shot, and Clench to become the first "Triple-Threat Master." The Decepticons conquer the planet and rename it "Master." A Brush With Infamy
  • The Autobots, led by a reborn Optimus Prime Derailment soon arrive to liberate the planet from its new ruler. Optimus Prime teams up with the Optimus members Diac, Overrun, Apex and Hi-Q to becomes "Triple-Threat Prime." His clashes with Galvatron are earthshaking, but ultimately ineffective. A Brush With Infamy
  • With the liberation movement failing, the Autobots resort to their last-ditch weapon — deploying Fortress Maximus, with Cerebros now bound to Spike's son Daniel. The Decepticons, having anticipated this contingency, deploy MegaZarak, who has been augmented with newcomers Dante and Caliburn. The planet is once again left devastated by their clash, but this time Fortress Maximus falls. A Brush With Infamy Galen Witwicky replacs his father as the Autobots retreat to Cybertron; Fortress Maximus eventually runs out of fuel and grinds to a halt in robot mode in the city of Tarn. Head Games
  • With his troops augmented by legions of loyal Cyberdroid 'masters, Galvatron assembles a massive invasion fleet and spearheads the Great Push, a do-or-die battle against the Confederacy's superior blockade. The Confederacy easily routs his forces and the battle soon becomes a humiliating defeat for the Cybertronians. Micro-Aggressions Trypticon is gravely wounded during the hostilities, and only survives after Full-Tilt binary-bonds himself into Trypticon's body as an ad-hoc T-cog. Intersectionality As punishment, the Allowed Zone is shrunk in half. The CTFC sterilizes the five worlds outside the new Allowed Zone after a ten-day evacuation period. Micro-Aggressions
  • Galvatron returns to Cybertron in disgrace, and dies after being vivisected by Cybertronian scientists. His remains are subsequently processed into the G-Virus and locked away in Cybertron's Forever Vaults Micro-Aggressions
  • The surviving Cyberdroids from Master emigrate to Cybertron after their home planet is destroyed. Broken Windshields Although they attempt to integrate into Cybertronian society at large, they are by and large treated as outsiders. [3]

2033-2054 (49-70 SCA)

  • Overlord seizes leadership of the Decepticons. A Brush With Infamy
  • The Decepticon scientist Thunderwing develops the energy-efficient Micromasters to circumvent the growing fuel crisis. Cultural Appropriation As fuel supplies run low, both sides begin substituting Micromasters in place of full-sized warriors. Identity Politics Thunderwing also experiments on Targetmasters, and develops a way to weaponize their ability to link with their wielder's sparks, draining Transformers merely through presence. Trigger Warnings
  • Thunderwing seizes leadership of the Decepticons after overthrowing Overlord. C'est la vie. Cultural Appropriation
  • The Rending: on a mission to Artemis in search of the mythical Underbase, Thunderwing discovers the artifact in question and uses it to fuse his spark with the Mayhem Attack Squad. Thus empowered, Thunderwing cuts a swathe of destruction across Cybertron before uploading himself into the Grand Mal. Caught between their war and looming genocide, the Autobots and Decepticons put their differences aside to fight Thunderwing. They succeed in crashing the Grand Mal, and this pan-factional cooperation allows the Great War to come to an uneasy close. Not All Megatrons
  • Continuing fuel shortages deplete Cybertron's infrastructure. Eventually, Energon is at such a premium that few Transformers can move around under their own power. Only the smallest and most fuel-efficient Cybertronians like the Micromasters and Mini-Cassettes remain capable of independent movement. Most full-sized Transformers adopt sedentary lifestyles to conserve fuel and hard-wire themselves into stationary fixtures. Head Games Broken Windshields
  • The Transformers reorganize their civilization - ostensibly shedding their old faction titles, the Transformers who fought in the Great War become the venerated Builders of Cybertron, presided over by the Builder Assembly. Broken Windshields The wreckage of the Grand Mal becomes the new military command center for the Builders. Not All Megatrons Even so, the former Autobots and Decepticons continue to cling to their old grudges. Broken Windshields Head Games

2054 (70 SCA)

2064-2074 (80-90 SCA)

  • Humans begin augmenting themselves, and the majority of humanity speciate into three distinct branches of humanity: biologically-enhanced, circuitry-enhanced, and psionic varieties, with un-augmented citizens considered to be second-class citizens. Micro-Aggressions Second-Born Intellects see widespread use among the CTCF, which are neither male nor female. Ask Vector Prime

2174 (130 SCA)

  • The Eutychus Project begins, aiming to resurrect humans from the past. Intersectionality Micro-Aggressions
  • Hoping to forge some kind of future for his dying race, Cerebros contacts the Lazarus Society to request a new method of procreation to replace the destroyed Vector Sigma. Head Games He receives the Energon Matrix as an alternative source of new Sparks. Using this device, the Maximals and Predacons are born, designed to serve as successors to the Autobots and Decepticons. When the Builders decide that they have created enough new lives to serve as cannon fodder, they hide the energon matrix in the frame of Lio Convoy. Head Games Broken Windshields While the Builders see these newborn Transformers as proxy soldiers to carry on their now-pointless war, the conflict soons gives way to the Games, a rigidly-structured affair incorporating gladiatorial combat and overseen by the "Administrator" Eject. Broken Windshields Head Games
  • Under Eject's tutelage, Lio Convoy becomes the "Guardian of Order", a third party combatant designed to rig the Games and provide an endless source of amusement for the Builders. Broken Windshields
  • Grimlock illegally transfers his Spark into a Maximal body and attempts to bomb the Builder Assembly. His plan is foiled and he is imprisoned within Fortress Maximus. Micro-Aggressions

2314 (330 SCA)

  • Hot Rod downsizes into a Micromaster body, working to reform the corrupt Builder civilization from within. Over the next seventy years, some other Builders decide to become Micromasters and take up residence in Micropolis. Micro-Aggressions
  • The Cybertronian colony world of Lucifer runs out of Energon and collapses, forcing its inhabitants to return to Cybertron. Overseer Buckethead decides to adopt a Micromaster body and later joins the latest incarnation of the Constructicons. Cultural Appropriation
