Timeline

• ??BC - For two generations Lord High Protector Megatron and Optimus Prime co-ruled a peaceful Cybertron.

• ??BC - Megatron came to desire the Allspark's power for himself, secretly formed an army of his own, and a planet-wide civil war for control of the Allspark began.

• ??BC - The Battle of Tyger Pax: While the main Autobot forces hold the Decepticons back at Simfur, a smaller team under Bumblebee buys those in Tyger Pax the time they need to launch the Allspark into a wormhole in space. Megatron leaves Cybertron to follow it. Bumblebee loses the ability to speak.

• ??BC - After "countless solar spans" Megatron tracks the Allspark to Earth but is reckless in his lust for it, crashes through the arctic ice, and is lost.

• 1897 AD - The National Arctic Circle Expedition commanded by Captain Witwicky discovers a great metallic "devil" buried in the arctic ice.

• 1898 AD - Captain Witwicky, now blind and raving is confined to the Boston Secure Hospital. Two Victorian-style spooks with an interest in the "unusual" listen to his story, decide to cover it all up and embark on a goverment sponsored expedition to check it out. If these blokes aren't called Sector 7 already they will be someday soon. Witwicky's personal effects are sent on to his family.

• 1899 AD - The proto-Sector 7 guys erect a dome above the partially excavated "Mega-Man".

• 1902 AD - The Allspark is discovered underwater in Colorado.

• 1969 AD - Sector 7, headed by Walter Simmons, attempts the first test flight of an Ice Man (as the "Mega Man" is now nicknamed) derived spacecraft (Ghost 1) using the Apollo 11 moon launch as cover. At the same time the first attempt was made to relocate the Ice Man himself from the Arctic to southern Nevada to be better studied alongside the likewise mysterious "alien cube". Signs seemed to point to Sector 7 begining to shift from being a secret US millitary opperation to a non-millitary-aligned deep "black ops" program. The Ark and Nemesis clash over the Ghost 1 in a distant solar system and learn of Megatron's (and possibly the Allspark's) location on Earth, though not the location of Earth.

• 2003 AD - A facility in Colorado uses the Hubble Space Telescope to photograph Bumblebee landing on Mars.
