The Big Bang occurs and the universe is born through the power of Zodiac.

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. 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. 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

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. The Aerialbots, having travelled back from 1985, participate in those events before returning to the future. Amid those events, Orion's girlfriend, Ariel, is also injured and rebuilt into Elita One, later leader of the Female Autobots. War Dawn

Crystal City is built by the Constructicons and guarded by the Guardian robot Omega 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

As the War rages on, Cyberdroids, who lack the ability to transform, flee Cybertron and search for a new home. Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2 Some settle on Paradron. Fight or Flee

The ancient past

According to Giga, the God Messenger Devil Z and the Godmaster entity come to Earth. Careering to the ground, Godmaster breaks into eight unrefined transtectors and falls into dormancy, with the largest component falling to the bottom of the sea.

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. In Megatron's absence, Shockwave was appointed steward of Cybertron. This state of affairs did not change much in the following four million years. More than Meets the Eye, Part 1 During the Ark's launch, the Female Autobots were assumed destroyed, but in actuality survived and formed an underground resistance group. The Search for Alpha Trion

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.

The Beast Wars are discovered to be taking place in a massive "experiment" by mysterious aliens calling themselves the Vok. Their devices on the planet include the Standing Stones Chain of Command and Brigadoon. The Trigger, Part 1 The Trigger, Part 2 Inferno finds and brings an Golden Disk of Vok origin to Megatron. Before the Storm Their experiment reaches a climax when they deem the Maximals and the Predacons to have contaminated the planet and activate the Planet Buster to destroy the planet's surface, first detonating much of the energon on Earth. Optimus Primal destroys the device before it can scorch the Earth, but Megatron's machinations assure that Primal is also destroyed in the process. Other Voices, Part 2 From the explosion, a far-reaching quantum surge is generated that fundamentally alters the physiology of some Beast Warriors, creating Transmetals. Aftermath The quantum surge also creates the Fuzors Silverbolt and Quickstrike from damaged stasis pods. Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1) Through Rhinox's efforts at pulling his spark out of the Matrix, Optimus Primal is resurrected in a Transmetal body. Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)

Dinobot, realizing the true nature of Energoa as Earth, sneaks into the Predacon base, pilfers the Vok and Voyager Golden Disks, and hides them. Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1) Almost unknown to anybody, Blackarachnia downloads a backup copy of the Voyager Golden Disk into herself and destroys all other copies. Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2) When Dinobot has a change of heart and decides to join the Predacons, he is forced to return the Disks to Megatron.

The two then shift into a later time where Optimus Primal possesses his Optimus Prime-mutated Transmetal form. Sparkbots Volume 2

In the midst of the Beast Wars, humanity's ancestors evolve. Megatron, recognizing the influence that humans will have on Transformer affairs, tries to exterminate their ancestors before they leave their secluded valley home. Dinobot, by himself, stops the Predacon onslaught with his life. The Voyager Golden Disk is destroyed in the process, Code of Hero but Megatron saves a shard. The Agenda (Part 2)

Arriving from the same time as the Beast Warriors in a transwarp cruiser, Covert Agent Ravage of the Predacon Secret Police professes to be there only to arrest Megatron, but is in actuality under orders by the Tripredacus Council to kill all witnesses. The Agenda (Part 1) The captured Megatron manages to persuade Ravage to his side with a recording of his familiar Megatron] on the Golden Disk shark he saved. The Agenda (Part 2) Despite the fullpower of his transwarp cruiser, Ravage is killed when the Maximals cause the ship to crash. Out of options, Megatron ambushes Silverbolt and Blackarachnia, who were investigating Mount St. Hilary and discovered the Ark. Using Blackarachnia's datatrax from the Golden Disk, Megatron accesses the Ark and blasts Optimus Prime's head in an attempt to change history to one more preferable to the Decepticons and Predacons. As a result, a timestorm occurs. The Agenda (Part III) To Megatron's disappointment, the Maximals repair the damaged Autobot leader. As part of the repair, Optimus Primal safeguards the legendary Transformer's spark in his body; in the process, his body metamorphoses into a gigantic and more powerful form. While their foes are distracted, the Predacons sink the Axalon and the Maximals are forced to set up base in Mount St. Hilary. Turned from the Predacons, Blackarachnia joins the Maximals. Optimal Situation

Depth Charge, having no faith in Primal's ability to dispose of Protoform X, follows X's signature and is sucked into a temporal anomaly, becoming Transmetallized in the process and ending up on prehistoric Earth along with Primal's crew. X, now Rampage, made his stay permanent by destroying his ship. Deep Metal Using technology acquired from the Vok, Megatron created new beings to bolster his forces, including the Cyber raptors Cutting Edge and a Transmetal 2 clone of Dinobot with Rampage's spark fragment. Feral Scream Part 1 Through an accident, Cheetor also becomes a Transmetal 2. Feral Scream Part 2 Blackarachnia intentionally triggers the same process on herself, becoming a full-fledged Maximal in the process. Crossing the Rubicon Desiring an upgrade for himself, Megatron concocts a plan to enter the Ark and take the original Megatron's spark into himself. Tarantulas tries to betray Megatron and destroy the Ark, but he fails when Megatron rises from the lava in a new form with a dragon mode and Blackarachnia stops the Ark's self-destruct. Master Blaster Megatron's new body, however, is of little help when the Vok deem him guilty of interfering with the timestream and sentence him to death. The aliens combine the abducted bodies of Tigatron and Airazor into a new warrior, Tigerhawk, and use him as their emissary to Earth. Just as Tigerhawk is about to deliver the killing blow to Megatron, he is paralyzed by Tarantulas, who has plans for the Transformer and the Vok inside him. His plans are foiled by Cheetor and the Predacon dies along with the Vok. The wayward sparks of Tigatron and Airazor find their rightful places in Tigerhawk. Other Victories

Searching the remains of the dead Tarantulas's lair, Megatron finds the Nemesis and activates it, setting his sights on destroying the protohumans and the Ark. In his rampage, he kills Inferno, Quickstrike, and Tigerhawk. Rampage and Depth Charge have their final confrontation on the ocean bottom, killing each other. Nemesis Part 1 Optimus Primal flies into the gigantic ship and tries to stop his power-mad nemesis, but the Predacon's power is too much for him to handle. Dinobot, having a change of heart brought on by the destruction of Rampage's spark half, relays the loaction of a hidden Autobot shuttle in the Ark to the Maximals. Rhinox flies it through the bridge of the Nemesis, catching Megatron on the windshield. The Nemesis crashes off into the horizon, with Dinobot in it. The Beast Wars over, the Maximals take off in the Autobot shuttle back to their time with Megatron tied on the side of the shuttle. Waspinator is left behind and rules over the protohumans, getting his happy ending. Nemesis Part 2

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.

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".

Unicron's servants, the Sparkbots, secretly alter Galvatron's trajectory so that he will land on Earth.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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. 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• The Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program, highly praised due to the excellent work of Autobot police officer Clamp Down, is expanded to include Red Alert, Sunstreaker, and other Binaltech Autobots. They attempt to promote peaceful co-existence by partnering with humans and taking on jobs.

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.

• 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.

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.

2006

• "Over-Technology" is used to rebuild the city of Tokyo at a fever pitch.

• 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.

• To fight the Legion forces, the E.D.C. uses Galvatron's cells to mass-produce black-and-white Autoroopers. When fused with Kiss Players, they can fight on equal footing with Legion creatures.

• In June, Atari Hitotonari's parents are killed by Legion.

• Atari is attacked by a Legion and fuses with Shaoshao Li's Ne-04 Autorooper. She shows berserker-type abilities and destroys the Legion. She is identified as a Kiss Player.

• Atari joins the E.D.C. Tokyo Autorooper Team.

• Starscream's ghost possesses Atari and uses her Kiss Player abilities to fuse with a new body that he forces Dr. Arkeville to make for him. His plans end in failure, and he returns to being a ghost.

• The body of Optimus Prime, who died in the Unicron War, is transported from Autobot City in America to Tokyo via Narita Airport. 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.

• Shaoshao Li is held captive in the underground experimentation facility beneath the Tokyo E.D.C. headquarters. A Legion attempts to fuse with her, but she is saved by the sudden appearance of Hot Rod. Hot Rod has a ParasiTech fusion with the Legion, but is reformatted by Shaoshao's Kiss Player abilities. From this day forward, Shaoshao is forced to spend her life fleeing from the E.D.C.

• Prime, Marissa, Hot Rod, Shaoshao and Atari stop the human experimentation being carried out by the E.D.C.'s Commander Amaō and the scattered cells are returned to Galvatron. He is once more sent on a trajectory to land on Thrull. Prime, who has finally awakened from his nightmare, returns to death.

2007

• Former Kiss Players Atari Hitotonari, Marissa Faireborn and Shaoshao Li join with the Cassetrons as idols to promote friendship between Transformers and humanity.

• Starscream, who had been active as a ghost, is restored to life by Unicron and goes missing.

• In the wake of Unicron's destruction, Primacron creates the life form Tornedron, which absorbs all energies. In the distant past, his former assistant Oracle senses this and summons Grimlock and the other beast Transformers, informing them how Tornadron may be destroyed.

• Due to the threat of the Hate Plague, a Quintesson rescued from Quintessa agrees to restore Optimus Prime to life. He uses the Wisdom of the Ages within the Matrix to cleanse the fear. The Matrix is emptied.

• The last of the Quintessons, who had captured a time-traveling vessel and put its crew on trial, are defeated by the Autobots led by Optimus Prime and are swallowed up in a dimensional maelstrom, disappearing.

• Ultra Magnus dies in battle. Galvatron disappears into a glacier.

• Fortress Maximus stops Emperor of Terror MegaZarak's plan to blow up the Earth and drives the Decepticons from the Earth. Afterwards, the Cybertrons leave Earth to rebuild space.

Several years after 2011

• Devil Z, who had been asleep at the bottom of Earth's ocean, awakens and attempts to destroy all of humanity.

• The Autobots in space cannot send assistance to Earth due to the worsening battle. Instead, they send the Masterforce System, allowing humans to fuse with Transtectors. However, the humans who have sided with Devil Z use this for evil.

• The human Ginrai, who has fused with the body intended for Optimus Prime, eliminates Devil Z.

2025

• Under the leadership of Star Saber, the Autobots create the Galactic Peace Alliance and establish the Galactic Defense Force to fight the Decepticons. They use Planet V as their base.

• The Decepticon Emperor of Destruction Deathsaurus reactivates his giant fortress and attacks Earth. Victory Saber stops him and destroys the fortress.

• In the far reaches of space, Starscream, Bumblebee, Grimlock and Jazz's battle continues.

After 2025

• Deathsaurus is reborn as the Dark Emperor. He leads all Decepticons in pursuit of the new energy form Energon Z.

• In response, the Autobots follow Dai Atlas's Plan Z to terraform the planet Micro into "Planet Z".

• The new Emperor of Destruction, Violen Jiger, appears. His true identity is a fusion of the ghosts of Decepticons who died in battle.

• On Saturn's moon Titan, where a civilization exists that worships robots as gods, Metrotitan is born from within the ground. He assists the Decepticons and performs sabotage activities like blocking transmissions.

• Violen Jiger steals the Super Element Zodiac from Earth and returns to his birthplace, the Tenth Planet of the solar system. He is destroyed by the new commander Dai Atlas and his warriors. The rainbow of Zodiac, which is the energy of constructing the universe, fills the 10th planet with life.

• Victory Saber pursues the Decepticon Gigant Bomb, breaks through the Bloody Zone, and ends up in the year 2004.

This is the second mention of the "Bloody Zone," which from its context appears to be the same as the Blasty Zone. It may be a typo.

• The Great Emperor Dark Nova, who looks very similar to Unicron, appears. In response, Dai Atlas orders the Battlestars to seek out Optimus Prime's body, which had been stolen by Decepticons.

• Dark Nova revives Galvatron as Super Megatron.

• On the satellite base Lucifer, Optimus Prime is discovered and reborn as Star Convoy using the power of Zodiac.

• Super Megatron evolves into Ultra Megatron, then fuses with Dark Nova to become Star Giant. Star Convoy destroys him from within.

• The new leader of the Decepticons, Scrash, leads Flashwing, Deathplay, Darkfly and Sharpedge to invade Earth, but is stopped by Sixbuilder and the other new defenders of the Earth.

• Planet Cybertron is revived, but suffers a deadly energy shortage. Optimus Prime becomes a Powermaster, fuses with a Nebulan, and protects himself with a phase modulation shield. He enters a black hole to get the super energy Nucleon.

• Optimus Prime is reborn as an Action Master and creates the Cybertron Alliance with Megatron, who lost his violence circuits in the previous war. However, Megatron, who has lost his underlings to humans, begins planning to invade Earth once more.

• Optimus Prime and Megatron, who have upgraded to new forms, follow "The Law of Cybertron" and have a one-on-one duel in the 17th District of the Mirtonian constellation. Prime is defeated and destroyed, but is rebuilt into Battle Convoy by the power of the Matrix. Megatron joins with Dreadwing and others, and a battle begins. In the end, the Autobots triumph and the Decepticons flee to the far reaches of the universe.

• Galvatron II, who has come from a parallel world, threatens the galaxy with his mobile battle fortresses. In response, Laser Ultra Magnus, who was revived by Battle Convoy's Reconfiguration Matrix, establishes a mobile combat team and prepares for battle.

• Battle Convoy equips himself with a new secret weapon and updates himself to a form that resembles his original body. Through a special coating, he gains a "black body" to absorb sunlight. He uses his twin special missile launchers and engages Galvatron II in battle.

• The Autobots develop new remote-controlled Eldedroids based on Prime's new black body. One is sent as part of an Autobot unit to investigate a Decepticon underwater base.

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. This "Protoform X" massacres Colony Omicron and is captured 4 stellar cycles later.

• 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, are assigned to chase down Megatron. Colony Omicron's former chief of security, Depth Charge, follows in pursuit of Protoform X.

• 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. Their plan ends in failure.

• 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.

• 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. 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.

• 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.

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.

• Lio Convoy travels through the Blasty Zone to the year 2005.

• 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.

• 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.

• The Blendtrons, servants of Unicron, steal the capsules. 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.

• 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.
