• The Quintessons are not aliens or the creators of the Transformer race, but rather a divergent race of Cybertroniand themselves. The were once lead by the benevolent Quintus Prime, but when he died, Liege Maximo took his place and lead the Quintesson Empire to colonize and terraform countless worlds to build an empire. Thus, the Cybertronian Empire is actually the Quintesson Empire and Cybertron itself is a colony world of Quintessa. Gobotron is also a colony world elsewhere in the universe.
• The dangerous variant of energon seen in Beast wars and the Energon Cartoon, are the Korlonium Crystals from the episode "A Prime Problem" of the original series. It explains why being around it could be lethal to Transformers, but also that even being far away from it can mess with ur mind, hence why the Autobots were making foolish decisions in that episode regarding the Prime clone.
  • One would need to remain in a vehicle mode with rubber tires, or have a beast mode or pretender shell to be properly insulated from it's effects.
  • Only bots like the Omnicons have adapted by building an immunity to being around them and have the skills needed to refine it properly.
• Sideways in the Unicron Trilogy is actually Liege Maximo from the G2 marvel comic (paint his Cybertron toy green or repurpose G1 Predator Skyquake to represent his "true form"). That explains all his vague, conflicting made-up origins and why he is such a master of Deception, even his own brother, Vector Prime, can't always see thru his lies. He is actually the "first Decepticon" and Megatronus was merely framed or brainwashed by him. It doesn't help that Sideways has taken on various alternate identities over the eons, either by fabricating them or killing and stealing the identities of real bots. He is a crazy bot who would rather "rule from the shadows" and "hide in plain sight", leaving puppet leaders to rule in his place so the target is on their backs and not his. Thus he is content to allow someone like Megatron, Jhaxius or Shockwave, etc. to rule in his syead as an unwitting pawn.
  • His spark is indestructible due to being exposed to the Underbase/Vector Sigma in ancient times. Even if he is destroyed, his spark can merely hop into another body.
  • The Thirteen Primes destroyed Unicron is ancient times, but Maximo secretly betrayed them by keeping fragments of Unicron's essence to create new bodies for him and keep copies of him living. Unicron can only control him so much because he is technically still a Prime.
  • Similar to Japanese continuity, every Prime has his own Energon Matrix. Sideways went on a quest to destroy or corrupt his brothers in order to absorb the powers of their various Matrices. The Matrix of Leadership is the most powerful one, but has eluded his grasp thanks to Alpha Trion.
  • Sideways/Liege Maximo is also Taruntulas, and both the Tripredacus/Predacon Council and Maximal Elders work for him. The experiments done to Protoform X/Rampage were done under his supervision. Starscream also absorbed the Underbase's power and gained an indestructible spark and Maximo wished to create an army of super soldiers with similar powers, but after Rampage became a loose cannon, quickly gave up that idea until he could find a better way to control them.
  • Primacron and Scrash were also identities fabricated and used by Maximo. When the Decepticon Commander Skyquake died during the Great War, Maximo/Sideways scanned his memories and took his place for a time. Primacron in particular was a Pretender shell. Ultimately, it is Maximo who was tricked all the Autobots and Decepticons to upgrade themselves into Maximals and Predacons, respectively. The latter two factions are not descendants of the former two, but rather separate older factions (similar to the Prime Predacons and IDW Maximals), the Autobots and Decepticons were merely "absorbed" into those preexisting factions. The Autobots and Decepticons will have to relearn their true identities and fight back against Maximo's control. They will firm the Destron alliance and go to war against the Cybertronian/Quintesson Empire.
  • As an evil Prime, he is the only one who can control Unicron to a degree. Alpha Q is also a minion of Sideways/Maximo. Maximo/Primacron did not create Unicron, he merely revived him.
  • Vector Prime/Oracle/Boltax was the Primacron's assistant and was trapped inside Vector Sigma for many eons when Maximo destroyed his original body.
  • Maximo and the Tripredacus Council/Cybertronian Empire/Functionists are allies of the Quintessons.
  • Cobra-LA are Quintesson experiments who escaped to Earth in the distant past. Thus, technically the Quintessons has indirect control over the forces of Cobra.
• The Vok are the Remnants of a race who's planet was destroyed either by Unicron or a Cybertronian war in the past, thus they want revenge on the Cybertronian Empire,and by extension, all Transformers. That is why Taruntulas views them as bitter enemies.
• Beast Wars Megatron is actually Straxus/Archforce. The Tripredacus Council already conquered Cybertron when he returned in Beast Maxhines, but used Megatron as unwitting pawn and puppet leader, content to allow him believe he had conquered Cybertron. When Primal sacrificed himself to defeat Megatron and reformat Cybertron, it merely allowed them to continue with their plans without interference from either of the two leaders.

Continuity

• Robots in Disguise (2001) is a sequel to Cybertron (2005) and thus part of the Unicron Trilogy universe. Megatron is revived by Sideways and his Predacon Council allies and brainwashed to serve them. He is given a powerful 6 changer body and sent to Jungle Planet to defeat Scourge and take leadership of the Predacons of Beast Planet. This is because post-Cybertron, the Decepticons are nearly non-existent and Megatron (and Sideways above him) needed a new army. Under his command, the Predacons would attack the colony worlds and destroy them. This would especially embitter Hotshot, the new leader of Velocitron, feeling that he failed his new home as well as Override, which is why Hotshot is so serious in RID, compared to the Unicron Trilogy serious, he has suffered much loss. Megatron would later be sent to Earth by his new masters to retrieve Fortress Maximus. While on earth, Megatron finds a ship with 6 Autobot Wreckers aboard and reformats them into the Decepticon Commandos. The Commando leader is named Scourge in mocking memory of the fallen Beast Planet leader, and because he scanned Optimus Prime and became an "evil clone" of him, Scourge also possesses an "evil" copy of his Matrix, which Sideways will want to steal later.
• The Predacons (and Maximals) are ancient races like in Prime, who served the Quintessons. They did not go extinct, but rather were exiled to Beast Planet. Many of them got stuck in Beast mode and became Battle beasts.
  • Sharkticons, Allicons, and the Seacon hordes from Masterforce were cloned from Jungle Planet Transformers by the Quintessons to use as soldiers. Terrorcons (Energon anime), and the 5-bot team that forms Abominus (G1) are actually undead warriors (much like the zombiecons in Prime), they run on Dark Energon and are effective drones who follow orders without question, though many of them can be bumbling idiots at times. The 5 Predacons led by Razorclaw worked for the Quintessons and were given the ability to combine by them, before eventually defecting to the Decepticons. The Vehicon drones in Beast Machines are also creations of the Quintessons, similar to Overcharge drones (Blitzwing used to be one of them, but gained sentience). Vehicon and Seacon drones, etc run on Energon and are technically alive. Terrorcons are undead and run on Dark Energon. It can be hard to tell the difference so the Autobots must wear protective armor in case they battle any Terrorcons, lest they get infected with Dark Energon.
• Velocitronians have a "racing culture" because they were forced to race eachother when the Quintessons occupied and enslaved their Planet, experimenting on them with Red Energon. Even when the Quintessons were expelled from their world, they kept the racing as part of their culture.
  • Motormaster and his Stunticons will try to conquer that world at some point. Perhaps thet were in charger after the Quintessons were defeated, and Overide lead a rebellion against them.
• GI Joe wasn't active in the G1 cartoon universe until the 90s (during a time the Transformers battles had largely moved away from earth), hence a lack of crossovers. GI Joe: RAH begins a loose Trilogy, with the DIC series no longer being Canon. After the movie, the mutated snake Cobra Commander is cured and imprisoned by the Joes, leading into the events of Sigma 6, where he escapes imprisonment. At the end of that series, Cobra Commander escapes and with his organization dismantled, he elects to "lay low" and build a new criminal empire as the crime boss, Old Snake. Iron Klaw, distant relative of Destro, and his Skar forces are a group of traitors from Cobra and Overkill from Sigma 6 is actually Garrisson Krieger (the Cobra mechs being the Iron Army), who eventually joins them. A broad strokes version of GI Joe Extreme concludes the Trilogy with Lt. Stone forming his own team of Joes to take down Iron Klaw and Skar once and for all. Old Snake evades justice for many decades continuing to be a crime boss without having to constantly look over his shoulder, with GI Joe eventually being disbanded after Cobra and Skar are seemingly gone for good. All of going good for the old Commander, until the Autobots return... he may very well have a new enemy to deal with.
