The Big Bang occurs and the universe is born through the power of Zodiac.<ref>Zone</ref>
12,000,000,000 years ago
The galaxy is born. The alien scientist Primacron is born soon after. Primacron creates a sentient, planet-sized robot life form called Unicron that feeds on mechanical planets and robot life forms, but it rebels against him, injuring the scientist. Primacron's Assistant, the Oracle, flees. The Oracle later reaches a desolate planet in the center of the galaxy and changes it into a verdant world. In the far future, the Oracle senses that Primacron will create Tornedron, which can absorb all energy. To battle this menace, the Oracle summons Grimlock and other beast Transformers from the future to tell them how to destroy the threat.<ref>Kiss Players timeline. In its original English and Japanese versions, the events of this episode do not suggest any time travel to have occurred, but the new merged Japanese timeline retconned it in to prevent a conflict with the new idea that the Oracle has become Vector Sigma by the modern day.</ref> Call of the Primitives
The conquering Quintessons immigrate to the Oracle's green planet. There, they obtain the Oracle's shell, the Matrix of Leadership. The Oracle, who has the ability to give robots life, is turned into the ultra computer Vector Sigma.<ref name="KP">Kiss Players timeline</ref> His safety key has the power to make organic life into machines, The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1 and is used by the Quintessons to transform his world into the machine planet Cybertron. On the planet, the Quintessons attempt to create Trans-Organics as a fusion between robotic and organic life, but fail and seal them up deep within the planet. The Dweller in the Depths
Not deterred by the Trans-Organic failure, the Quintessons mass-produce civilian and military robot life forms, the ancestors of the Autobots and Decepticons, as slaves. The first of these is named A3. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4
11,000,000 years ago
The Quintesson that would later be known as the Seeker, tries to convince the other Quintessons of the potential in their slave robots. All he receives is mockery. Still afraid of the inevitable rebellion, he flees Cybertron and dedicates himself to gathering the entirety of information in the Universe. He eventually becomes the Seeker, a god-like entity made of data. True Value of Treasure
True to the Seeker's predictions, the intelligent robots of Cybertron develop emotions and revolt, with A3 as their leader. They chase the Quintessons from the planet and the Golden Age of Cybertron begins. The species, however, would be split into two—the military Decepticons and the civilian Autobots. The two factions declare war against each other, beginning the Great War. The Autobots, lacking combat capabilities, are massacred, forcing many to flee Cybertron. The Matrix, acquired from the Quintessons, is passed on as a symbol of Autobot leadership. The Matrix bearers' memory and wisdom are collected within it. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4 The Matrix also accomplishes another function: it helps prevent the Decepticons from using Vector Sigma to create more troops. The Mystery of Planet Master As the War rages on, the Autobots develop technology allowing them to transform their bodies. Several centuries later, the Decepticons gain the same technology. The species becomes the "Transformers". Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4
Performing research, the scientists Starscream and Skyfire travel to Earth. Skyfire crashes into the Arctic and Starscream, unable to find his friend, returns to Cybertron. Fire in the Sky
9,000,000 years ago
Megatron is built by the Constructicons deep within Cybertron. The new robot becomes the Emperor of Destruction, leading the Decepticons in the Great War and succeeding in killing the Autobot leader, Sentinel Prime. Sentinel Prime's Matrix falls into the hands of Alpha Trion, formerly A3, for safekeeping till the next Autobot leader emerges. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4 The new Supreme Commander soon arises when cargo hauler Orion Pax is badly injured by Megatron and, through Alpha Trion's aid, is reborn as Commander Optimus Prime, bearer of the Matrix. The two legendary leaders intensify the everlasting war. War Dawn
Crystal City is built by the Constructicons and guarded by the Guardian robotOmega Supreme, who befriends the builders. This peaceful friendship would end when Megatron used the Robo-Smasher on his builders, converting them into Decepticons. Convincing Omega Supreme to leave his post, the Constructicons destroy Crystal City. Full of anger, Omega hunts down his former friends and attempts to reverse their reprogramming, but is unsuccessful. The Constructicons are rebuilt to be able to combine into Devastator. Devastator tries to have the Robo-Smasher brainwash Omega Supreme, but the Autobot destroys the device before it can do irreversible damage. The Secret of Omega Supreme
Also coming to Earth are the Decepticon Insecticons. They stay there permanently, using the Earth's resources and life as food. A Plague of Insecticons
As the resources on Cybertron dry up thanks to the never-ending War, an Autobot space exploration team led by Optimus Prime boards the Ark. They are pursued by the Megatron-led Decepticons aboard the Nemesis. Most of the Nemesis crew aboard the Ark, but, in the chaos, both ships are pulled in by Earth's gravity. The Ark crashes into Mount St. Hilary and the Transformers aboard enter a long period of stasis lock. More than Meets the Eye, Part 1
3,000,000 years ago
Millennia after the Ark crash, the descendants of the Autobots and Decepticons—Maximals and Predacons—come from the future via transwarp technology and crash onto Earth. To survive in the energon-rich atmosphere, the crews of both ships scan the animals of Earth in order to transform into them. None of the Maximals and Predacons are aware of where they have crashed, calling the planet "Energoa". Only Megatron knows the truth, preemptively blowing up the entrance to the Ark at Mount St. Hilary. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III) For now, he is simply content with gathering the ubiquitous energon for conquering Cybertron. Dinobot is kicked out of the Predacons Beast Wars (Part 1) and reservedly joins the Maximals. The Beast Wars begin. Beast Wars (Part 2) Both forces are bolstered by Maximal protoforms in stasis pods ejected before the Axalon crashed. The new warriors include the Maximals TigatronFallen Comrades and Airazor; The Spark and the Predacons BlackarachniaDouble Jeopardy and Inferno. Spider's Game The Maximals' peers on Cybertron send out probes to search for the Axalon, but the Maximals' attempt to contact a nearby probe is foiled by the Predacons. The Probe
The Beast Wars receive an unusual guest when the immortal spark of Starscream, who died in 2005, crosses time and space to reach Earth. He possesses Waspinator and attempts to take over, but fails. He returns to being disembodied spark and vanishes into the far reaches of time and space. Possession
While the factions are traditionally called 'Cybertrons' and 'Destrons' in Japan, these dimensional travelers are explicitly identified as Autobots and Decepticons, names that have only been used in Japan for the 2007 movie.
Due to the Maximals' and Predacons' interference in the Vok experiment on Earth, the Vok begin to terraform the planet. Optimus Primal sacrifices his life to stop this. As a result, Earth loses its second, mechanical moon, and a quantum surge is generated.<ref name="othervoices1">"Other Voices, Part 1"</ref><ref name="othervoices2">"Other Voices, Part 2"</ref>

Several million years ago
The Sparkbots travel back from 2007 and attempt to release Unicron's Angolmois energy, which was scattered in 2005. They are followed by Primus (a.k.a. Oracle), who seals them and the energy inside the Earth. He creates Brave Maximus to stand guard and devises several layers of safeguards to control Maximus's activation.<ref name=kp51>Kiss Players radio drama #51</ref>
The Headmaster Grand of Planet Master meets up with the Autobot Pretenders. After a battle with the Decepticon Pretenders, they crash on Earth and take the form of humans.<ref>"Rise Up!!

A team of Autobots from the future come to Earth to activate Brave Maximus, but their spaceship crashes on Castle Peak. Later, this becomes the basis for human legends of U.F.O.s.<ref name="thedecepticons">"The Decepticons"</ref>
The above point contradicts the earlier account of Devil Z as the "God Messenger" and the Godmasters originating as a singular being known as "Godmaster." The earlier account is the one used in the animated series itself, but was later apparently retconned, replaced with the version of the story noted here. This version appeared in the later timeline and may be assumed to take precedence in canon.
543
A human from the future year of 1985 and several Autobots and Decepticons including Starscream arrive through a time-space transportation system left in an ancient ruin on Earth. They are drawn into a territorial battle, but with the assistance of an old man claiming to be a wizard, they return to their original era.<ref name="adrikac">"A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court"</ref>
14th Century
Humanity unearths a spaceship that crashed on Earth several million years before, and discovers a Cybertronian weather control unit called the Power Core. The Power Core's activation causes a great disaster, but the King of Persia seals it inside a golden shell. Renamed the Pearl of Bahoudin("Jehudin" in Japan), it is buried in the ground once more.<ref name="transeurope">"Trans-Europe Express"</ref>
Early 1980s
The Great War on Cybertron settles down. A team of Cyberdroids comes from Cybertron to look for Optimus Prime or the Matrix that he holds. A dimensional shockwave causes them to gain transformation abilities as Micromasters and travel to Earth. As a side effect of the shockwave, some become Decepticons.<ref>"A New Transformer Legend Begins!!"</ref>
The divided Micromasters begin a conflict on Earth. The Autobots unearth a fragment of Cybertronian metal and a Predacon emblem in Mount St. Hilary. They set up Metrobase to protect the site.<ref>"Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!"</ref>
No further explanation as to what happened to the Micromasters and Multiforce afterwards is provided.
1985
The eruption of Mount St. Hilary activates Teletraan I after 4 million years. Teletraan I awakens and repairs the sleeping Autobots and Decepticons, making them resemble the machines of Earth. The restored Megatron leads his forces to concentrate energy and send it back to their homeworld. Optimus Prime opposes this, and a conflict arises, sweeping humans into the battle.<ref name="mtmte1" /><ref name="mtmte2>"More than Meets the Eye, Part 2"</ref><ref name="mtmte3">"More than Meets the Eye, Part 3"</ref>

Megatron makes a deal with the human scientist Doctor Arkeville and uses the hypno-chip that Arkeville has developed to brainwash and enslave many humans. Megatron uses them to construct a large Space Bridge and pulls Cybertron into Earth orbit. The gravitational pull causes major disasters on Earth, but he is stopped by Optimus Prime and the Autobots.<ref name="ultimatedoom1">"The Ultimate Doom, Part 1"</ref><ref name="ultimatedoom2">"The Ultimate Doom, Part 2"</ref><ref name="ultimatedoom3">"The Ultimate Doom, Part 3"</ref>

Starscream manipulates a time and space transportation system left in an ancient ruin on Earth and is transported to Europe in the year 543. He returns along with the Autobots who followed him.<ref name="adrikac" />
In order to bolster the ranks of the outnumbered Autobots, Alpha Trion becomes the activation key for Vector Sigma and merges with it.<ref name="tktvs2">"The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2"</ref>
The Autobot Aerialbots, created by Vector Sigma, are transported by Decepticon Defense Commander Shockwave's time machine to the Cybertron of 9 million years before. There, they assist in the birth of Optimus Prime and return.<ref name="wardawn" />
Megatron tampers with the Golden Disk aboard the planetary exploration machine Voyager that was launched in 1977 and gives directions for changing history and destroying Optimus Prime on the Ark in the past if the Decepticons lose the war in the future.<ref name="agenda2" />
During one of D.R. Faireborn's missions, he and his daughter Marissa are saved by Optimus Prime. From then onwards, Marissa is increasingly involved with Prime and the other Autobots. However, Shaoshao, who feels that her only ally has been taken away from her by Prime, begins to mistrust all Transformers.<ref>Kiss Players radio drama #34</ref>
Shaoshao's parents relocate their restaurant to Japan. Shaoshao is forced to leave without ever reaching an understanding with Marissa or Prime.<ref name="kp23"/>
Latter 1990s
The U.S. government officially announces their intent to coexist with the Autobots, the existence of Decepticons, and their intention to join in the battle.<ref name=firstcontact>"First Contact"</ref>
The U.S. army works with the Autobots to develop and produce the military strategy robot C-X. However, Starscream's ghost, which has come from the future, tampers with it. It goes berserk and is destroyed.<ref>"Divided Views"</ref>
The Japanese government makes a deal with the Decepticons, agreeing to allow them to gather energy in exchange for Japan's safety. However, Frenzy and Rumble cause an artificial earthquake, leading to mass casualties.<ref>"Activation"</ref>
The humans and Autobots work together to develop the interstellar teleportation gate known as the Trigger.<ref name=firstcontact/>
Starscream fuses with the Trigger. He attempts a coup, but is defeated by Optimus Prime and Megatron. In the battle, many on both sides are badly damaged, and Prime and Megatron go missing.<ref>"The Stargate Battles"</ref>
2000
An elite team of large Predacons(a.k.a. "Destrongers") from the future cross the dimensions to Earth.<ref name="battleprotocol">"Battle Protocol"</ref> They attempt to control Brave Maximus, who was left on Earth several million years before. They are opposed by an Autobot Dimensional Patrol Team from the future, led by Fire Convoy. The Autobots secretly construct a Space Bridge and remain undercover. The Dimensional Patrol Team is made up of new-generation Transformers, including the Spy Changers, who were born from the addition of the Go-Bots.
The Autobot space ship that had crashed on Angel Mountain several millennia ago is unearthed by the Predacons. Its crew are reformatted into Decepticons.<ref name="thedecepticons" />
The Autobots activate Brave Maximus. Borrowing Maximus's power, Fire Convoy defeats the leader of the Predacons and Decepticons, Devil Gigatron.<ref name="finalbattle">"The Final Battle"</ref>
2003
Beginning with this year, the timeline splits in two with the commencement of the Story of Binaltech. This story involves some degree of complicated time- and space-bending, resulting in the creation of a parallel universe that branches off from the mainstream one. Precisely how many events occur in the mainstream timeline when all is said and done is unclear; as such, this timeline will list all events exclusive to the Binaltech story under sub-headings labelled "200Xb".
On Earth, with the help of Autobot ambassador Crosscut, construction begins on Autobot City, which uses Brave Maximus as its core. The Earth Defense Command (E.D.C.) is created with humans and Autobots working together.
The members of the Autobot Dimensional Patrol Team that remained on Earth sense a new threat and upgrade the Spy Changer team to Super Mode.<ref>Super Spy Changers catalog</ref>
The Autobots sense that Megatron is preparing for a war to take over Cybertron. They prepare by moving most of their forces from Earth to Cybertron.
2003b
Using the Cosmic Rust virus, the Decepticons sabotage the Autobot forces, causing massive damage. The E.D.C., having lost most of their defenses, activate the Binaltech Project, a plan to create man-made Transformers.<ref>Story of Binaltech, Chapter 1</ref>
2004
The Autobots use the element Solitarium to continue construction of Scramble City. They rewrite Brave Maximus's central systems accordingly.
Dimensional fissures called the Blasty Zone appear, and Transformers from various eras are transported to the year 2004. The Predacon Megatron arrives and defeats Starscream, taking over command of the Decepticons on Earth.<ref name=robotmasters>Robot Masters</ref>
Optimus Prime and the other Autobots on Earth are attacked by the Decepticons led by the Predacon Megatron. Prime remembers having met a future Transformer aboard the Ark 3 million years before. A timestorm occurs, and Optimus Primal is summoned from prehistoric Earth.<ref name="battlebegins"/><ref name="strongestcommand"/><ref name=rm1/><ref name=rm3/>
Megatron begins the war to take over Cybertron. The Autobots cannot send reinforcements to Earth. The Binaltech warriors born on Earth are very effective. The E.D.C. and Autobots, working together, remove the Decepticons from the solar system.<ref>"Binaltech Is..."</ref>
Through an introduction by Dr. Arkeville, the Decepticon Earth Attack Commander Starscream allies with a secret organization, the Concurrence, made up of dangerous elements on Earth. Using advanced brainwashing techniques, they brainwash humans and take over several industrial cities across the world, creating Binaltech Decepticons.<ref>"Arise! Evil Binaltechs"</ref>
In order to bolster their ranks on Earth, the Autobots develop the Genetronic Translink System, which creates same-personality duplicates. However, its side effects are unknown.<ref>"GT Units Online!"</ref>
Under the E.D.C.'s leadership, a replica automaton with artificial intelligence is created in Japan. This is the birth of man-made Transformers.<ref name=opcarwash>"Operation: Carwash"</ref>
In order to find the truth about the "Bad Production Incident" that created the Binaltech Decepticons, an expert team led by D.R. Faireborn works with Autobots including Jazz to enact Operation: Carwash.<ref name=opcarwash/>
Ravage from another point in the future makes contact with Teletraan I in order to use the Transformers' "Bio and Tech Spec" data to manipulate the timestream and create a future without needless battles. He is stopped by the humanoid computer Mobile Teletraan 15, who has traveled back in time from 2007. As a result, Teletraan I is damaged and the data is lost.<ref>"15 Volume: The Last Part"</ref>
In order to regain the lost data, Ravage takes on the identity of "Black Panther Man" and infiltrates the Autobots. He instructs the Teletraan 15 of 2005 to travel to different eras via Transwarp and creates an Information Control Center based on the record satellite Nana.<ref>15 Go! Go! Volume 1</ref>
Megatron, who has been missing, is reborn as Rebirth Megatron through the black hole connection system possessed by the Reverse Convoy of planet Vehicon.<ref name=robotmasters/>
Injured in the battle over solitarium, Optimus Prime gains the power of the Energon Matrix possessed by the many Prime-type warriors gathered from different eras. He rids Earth of Decepticons. The Autobots use the last of the solitarium to return the time-lost Autobots and the captured Decepticons to their original eras.<ref name=robotmasters/>
Unicron the Great Devourer appears and the Unicron War begins. Optimus Prime dies in battle, the heavily-wounded Megatron is reborn as Galvatron through the power of Unicron, and Starscream is executed by Galvatron.<ref name="tftm">The Transformers: The Movie</ref>
The Matrix is passed on to the new Autobot leader, Ultra Magnus, and the young Autobot Hot Rod releases its power, maturing into Rodimus Prime and becoming the Autobots' new leader. He throws Galvatron toward Planet Thrull and lights the darkness, destroying Unicron.<ref name="tftm" /> But the Angolmois energy within Unicron traverses time and space and parasitizes Autobot leaders from various time periods. Unicron's servants, the Sparkbots, secretly alter Galvatron's trajectory so that he will land on Earth.<ref name=kp51/>
Galvatron crashes on Earth, creating a historically unparalleled disaster and transforming Tokyo into a sea of fire. His cells are scattered, and the Unicron cells within them multiply using humans and machines as their hosts. The machines become Legion and the biological organisms (humans) become Kiss Players.<ref name="kissplayers">Kiss Players backstory</ref>
Due to the disaster, humans begin to see Transformers as an enemy, with anti-Transformers sentiment centering on Japan. To combat this, key aid groups and Autobots work on rescue operations in Tokyo. Among them is a sentient metallic being who takes on the form of an Autobot to soothe the thirst of the people of Japan.<ref>Pepsi Convoy bio</ref>
Despite the Autobots' best efforts, the Japanese people's anti-Transformers sentiment continues unabated and spreads throughout the world. Eventually, the Tokyo E.D.C. is at the center of a movement to force Transformers off the Earth.<ref name="kissplayers" /> There are some who believe that the Concurrence is behind this sudden change in direction, but it is not known for certain.
The E.D.C. summons Kiss Players from across the country and begins to remove Cybertronians using white artificial Transformers called Autoroopers.<ref name="kissplayers" />
The E.D.C. develops an anti-electron field that greatly lowers the life functions of Cybertronians and covers the planet with it, thus driving all remaining Transformers off the Earth.<ref name="kissplayers" />
Rodimus Prime, devastated by the thought that his actions caused humanity and Transformers to go to war with each other, returns both the Matrix and the title of Commander to Ultra Magnus and becomes Hot Rod once more.<ref>"A Big Catch Tonight?!"</ref>
Some civilians oppose the unilateral actions of the E.D.C. to remove the Transformers and form a resistance movement. Marissa Faireborn is seen among them.<ref name="kissplayers" />
2005b
The remaining members of the disbanded American intelligence agency Triple-I succeed in analyzing the flight recorder of a future Transformer's spaceship, which they had unearthed and safeguarded since the previous century. They discover the future Decepticon Ravage's "Central Consciousness File X-9." Using the life force of the current Ravage, who had been captured by the E.D.C., he is reborn as the Binaltech Ravage. However, sensing that his plan to change history 3 million years before had failed, Ravage once again begins to try to alter the timeline.<ref>"Ghosts of the Past"</ref>
Ravage repairs Shockwave's Kronosphere time machine. He traps the on-the-verge-of-victory Megatron and the other Decepticon forces around Cybertron between dimensions, their mobile fortress and all. He intends to protect the Decepticons from Unicron's imminent arrival and to allow the Autobots to exhaust themselves battling Unicron. Then the Decepticons will reemerge and reign supreme.<ref>"Changing Lanes"</ref>
The Autobot technician Wheeljack discovers through information gathered from Ravage that in the near future, he and many other Autobots will die in the Unicron War. He sees a way to avoid this fate in the GT System, which makes it possible to replicate personalities. He initiates Project Bodyshop, creating replicas of himself.<ref>"Project Bodyshop"</ref>
This event could take place in either timeline, but since the Autobots here are in Binaltech bodies, it's placed in this timeline for the sake of continuity.
The Autobots attempt to undo the change in history that the Binaltech Ravage caused. Autobot theoretician Skids directs "Operation: Distant Thunder" in an attempt to send a warning to the past. If it succeeds, history will return to normal, but the Autobots will lose to the Decepticons, Cybertron will be conquered by Megatron, and the great darkness of Unicron will arrive.<ref>"Darkest Hour"</ref>
Operation: Distant Thunder fails. A mysterious entity called the "Protector" creates a bypass, creating two parallel worlds: one with the true progression of events, and the other with the altered history of the Binaltech Project. The world where the altered history continues will eventually lead to the great Alternity.<ref>"Binal Time"</ref>
With the explicit creation of this parallel universe, the relevance of the Binaltech storyline to this timeline comes to an end. The story continues in subsequent Binaltech story chapters, and on into the Alternity toyline.
"Over-Technology" is used to rebuild the city of Tokyo at a fever pitch.<ref name="kissplayers"/>
In May, just as peace is restored, hordes of an unknown Transformer species called Legion appear. The Legion creatures roam cities and attack a small number of humans, as though there is some special quality that they are looking for.<ref name="kissplayers"/>

The convoy carrying his corpse is attacked by the resistance and the plan to move him fails. An out-of-control Autorooper unit engages in a ParasiTech fusion with Prime's body. With the assistance of a Kiss Player from the resistance, Prime regenerates into a new body and is restored to life.<ref name=kpish2>Kiss Players #2</ref>
Shaoshao Li is held captive in the underground experimentation facility beneath the Tokyo E.D.C. headquarters.

Approximately 300 years later
The long war ends with victory by the Autobots, and the Decepticons sign a cease-fire.
The next-generation Autobots (Maximals) create a clone of Starscream, who has an indestructible spark. They try to use him as an immortal warrior, but fail.<ref name="badspark">"Bad Spark"</ref> This "Protoform X" massacres Colony Omicron and is captured 4 stellar cycles later.<ref name="deepmetal">"Deep Metal"</ref>
The next-generation Megatron steals the Golden Disk, which the Maximals have been safeguarding. With his underlings, he travels to the Earth of 4 million years ago. Optimus Primal and his crew, who have been engaged in deep-space exploration with the captured Protoform X aboard their ship,<ref name="badspark" /> are assigned to chase down Megatron.<ref name="bw1" /> Colony Omicron's former chief of security, Depth Charge, follows in pursuit of Protoform X.<ref name="deepmetal" />
The Predacon Tripredacus Council view Megatron's independent actions as dangerous, and send Ravage 4 million years into the past to assassinate all Maximals and Predacons involved with the Beast Wars.<ref name="agenda1" /> Their plan ends in failure.<ref name="agenda2" />
While Optimus Primal's Maximals return to Cybertron with the captured Megatron, Megatron escapes into an earlier period and uses a virus bomb to conquer the planet before the Maximals return to the planet.<ref name="revelations2">"Revelations Part II: Descent"</ref>
Primal and his crew are affected by the virus bomb and lose their memories and ability to transform, but through the guidance of Oracle, they are reformatted into new bodies.<ref name="reformatting">"The Reformatting"</ref> It is revealed that Primal was sent into the past to bring organic beast bodies back to Cybertron as part of Oracle's plan. Primal takes Megatron with him as he throws himself into the core of Cybertron, a fountain of organic energy. They die. The captured sparks are all freed, and Cybertron is reformatted into a verdant world with a balance of organic and machine.<ref name="endgame3">"Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future"</ref>
Primal and Megatron, despite having died, are reborn on a parallel world through the power of the ancient Transformer Logos Prime, who resides there. They descend to Jungle Planet and gain new bodies. They cause the Ignition Effect on the planet for the first time.<ref name="bwreborn">Beast Wars Reborn</ref>
Era unknown
The ancient Gaeans, who live on Gaea (Earth in the future), succeed in obtaining Angolmois energy. However, they discover that the energy could potentially destroy the entire universe if it responds to an evil heart, and so they leave an observation system on the moon and abandon their planet, leaving for space.
Tens of thousands of years later
An armored platoon led by the next-generation Galvatron seeks to possess the Angolmois energy dormant within Gaea, and Lio Convoy's team attempt to stop them.<ref>"The New Forces Arrive!"</ref>
Lio Convoy travels through the Blasty Zone to the year 2005.<ref name=liotyphoon/>
Galvatron summons the artificial planet Nemesis. Lio Convoy and his crew use the power of the Energon Matrix to seal the Angolmois energy into capsules and release them into space. Galvatron is destroyed.<ref>"Farewell, Lio Convoy!"</ref>
After Nemesis explodes, Lio Convoy is swallowed up by the ensuing wormhole and is transported to the planet Dinosaur in the past.
Several years after the battle on Gaea
Magmatron, who is obsessed with vengeance for Planet Dinosaur, which was attacked by Unicron in the past, attempts to collect the Angolmois capsules. Meanwhile, military instructor Big Convoy and his new recruits learn of the capsules via a message from Lio Convoy and make the capsules' collection their mission.<ref>"Big Convoy, Move Out"</ref>
The Blendtrons, servants of Unicron, steal the capsules.<ref>"The Seized Capsules"</ref> Unicron resurrects as an energy being, and the second Great War begins. Unicron attacks Vector Sigma and is reborn as Vector Sigma Unicron, using Cybertron as his new body.<ref>"Unicron's Ambition"</ref>
Big Convoy, aided by Lio Convoy, uses the Matrix Buster to defeat Unicron, who has returned to being an energy being, and thus brings peace to the universe. Afterwards, Lio Convoy becomes Great Convoy and is promoted to the ruling body. After the graduation ceremony for the recruits, the Maximals and Predacons stop fighting and cooperate to rebuild Cybertron.<ref>"Graduation Ceremony!!"</ref>
