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 On Antilla, the Thirteenth Legion showcase their presence by creating a giant Autobot symbol on the planetary surface that is visible from space.

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

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. 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.

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)

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 III) A copy of his personality programming is preserved in the flight recorder. Ghosts of the Past 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.

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

Through an elaborate plan, Megatron is cured by Perceptor with Corrostop and has the Autobots infected with Cosmic Rust. The Autobots cure themselves of the disease and destroy the Lightning Bug. Cosmic Ruse Sick of Starscream after his latest betrayal, Megatron has the whiny Transformer exiled to the island of Guadalcanal. There, the Seeker comes across abandoned vehicles from World War II (which also included a space shuttle). Planning to create his own army, Starscream takes the personality components of five rengenade Decepticons from the Decepticon Detention Center on Cybertron and inserts them into the World War II vehicles. The Combaticons are reborn and forced to do Starscream's will. Despite their combined form as Bruticus, Starscream and his "army" are eventually defeated and again exiled, this time to a desolate asteroid. Starscream's Brigade The Combaticons, angry with their exile, fly off to exact revenge on both Cybertron and Earth. Seizing control of the space bridge on Cybertron, they set Earth on a collision course with the Sun. Together, the Autobots and the Decepticons thwart the Combaticons' operation and the Combaticons are reprogrammed to serve Megatron. The Revenge of Bruticus

The Combaticons still can't seem to stay of trouble, as while attacking a human city, they are blasted to pieces by Defensor, a previously unseen participant of the war. Swindle, the only survivor of the attack, sells the Combaticon parts to El Presidente; the unsellable parts are dumped in a junkyard. There, the personality component of Brawl is found by three human students, Martin, Roland, and Elise Presser, and used to create the robot B.O.T.. Thanks to their poor choice of robot parts, B.O.T. goes berserk. Under threat by Megatron, Swindle recovers all of the parts of the Combaticons, including Brawl's personality component. B.O.T. still finds meaning in its sad existence when it gives its life to destroy the Decepticons' latest nonsensical weapon. B.O.T.

Knowing that Decepticon defeat was more than a mere possibility, Megatron took the Golden Disk contained in the Voyager probe that was launched from Earth in 1977. On the Disk, he inscribed a message to future adherents of the Decepticon cause, giving directions for changing history and destroying Optimus Prime on the Ark in the past if the Decepticons would ever meet defeat in the Great War.

The World-Devourer grants Megatron a new existence as Galvatron and new troops from the other disposed Decepticons. Galvatron is assigned the task of destroying the Matrix, but the Decepticon makes a pit stop on Cybertron to destroy Starscream. His spark, however, is immortal and lives on in a disembodied state.

Galvatron attacks Autobot City, forcing the Autobots to split into groups and retreat in different directions, having adventures on Quintessa and Junk, meeting the Junkions and the Quintessons. Galvatron obtains the Matrix from Ultra Magnus and attempts to use it on Unicron, but he is unable to release its power and only angers Unicron enough to attempt to destroy Cybertron.

Unicron's servants, the Sparkbots, secretly alter Galvatron's trajectory so that he will crash onto Earth. Kiss Players radio drama #51

True to the Sparkabots' intention, Galvatron plummets onto Earth, Tokyo in specific. His Unicronian cells are scattered in the crash and multiply using humans and machines as hosts. The machines become Legion and the humans become Kiss Players. Reeling from the disaster, humans develop antipathy towards Transfomers, especially in Japan. To alleviate discomfort, key aid groups and Autobots work on rescue operations in Tokyo. One of them uses the sentient metal developed by NASA to become Pepsi Convoy and soothe the thirst of the people of Japan by shilling Pepsi.

But despite the Autobots' best efforts, the Japanese hatred of Transformers continues and spreads to the rest of the world. A movement is formulated to force Transformers off Earth, with the Tokyo E.D.C. leading the charge. The Concurrence is believed to be behind the intensifying of anti-Transformer sentiment, but evidence is not forthcoming. The existence of Kiss Players becomes known to the E.D.C. and the mutated humans in Japan are collected by the organization. With them and the Autoroopers, the E.D.C. begins work on ridding the planet of Cybertronians. To further remove and keep Transformers away, an anti-electron field developed by the E.D.C. covers the planet's surface. It lowers the life functions of Transformers and so they are driven off. Despairing over having caused Galvatron's crash and the following events, Rodimus Prime gives Ultra Magnus the Matrix and Autobot leadership. Rodimus Prime regresses back to Hot Rod. A Big Catch Tonight?! Nevertheless, some civilians, such as Marissa Faireborn hold on to hope, opposing the E.D.C. and forming a restiance movement.
