Unicron Trilogy continuity family
The "Unicron Trilogy" is Aaron Archer's designation for the continuity family consisting of Armada, Energon, and Cybertron. As such, many fans have taken to using it as the "official" term. Other fan-coined terms for the Unicron Trilogy include the Armadaverse and the AEC (Armada-Energon-Cybertron) universe.
The Unicron Trilogy continuity family includes these individual continuities:
- Animated continuity
- A continuity composed of the Armada, Energon, and Cybertron television series and its related material, such as the Fun Publications Cybertron comic.
- Dreamwave comics continuity
- Panini Comics continuity
- A continuity composed of the Panini Armada comics published in the UK.
- Various stand-alone storybooks and short stories.
The Unicron Trilogy is so-named because of the central role Unicron plays in the overall story. All three series feature Unicron in some pivotal way, even Cybertron, where his destruction resulted in the creation of the series' primary threat, the universe-threatening black hole.
Note
Unicron Trilogy is called Micron Trilogy in Japan, named by Hisashi Yuki from Takara.[1]
