Border Wars

The Border Wars are a conflict in the Dreamwave Generation 1 portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Border Wars<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup> is the designation for a series of internecine conflicts 7.4—-6.5 Million Years ago on Cybertron when both the Autobot and Decepticon factions fractured into multiple warring sub-factions.

Broadly speaking the Border Wars shortly after the disappearance of Optimus Prime and Megatron 7.4 Million Years Ago. The rogue ancient Transformer The Fallen claimed responsiblity for Cybertron's subsequent plunge into the Dark Ages, slowly pushing events towards ever-increasing chaos over the course of almost a million years.

After The Fallen's defeat 6.5 Million Years Ago, the Border Wars continued<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1" title="">[2]</a></sup> for approximately 500,000<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2" title="">[3]</a></sup> years, lessening in intensity as the Autobots unified under Ultra Magnus. Their end is marked by the peace treaty (and subsequent massacre) at Tyger Pax 6 million years ago.
