Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon continuity

The Transformers cartoon

The Soviet Union joined all the other governments of Earth in agreeing to provide the Autobots the energy needed to return to their home planet and restore it. However, for reasons unknown, this did not come to pass. More than Meets the Eye, Part 3

When an experimental Soviet jet was captured by the world's greatest trophy hunter, Lord Chumley, blame was erroneously placed on the United States. This brought tensions between the two countries to their highest level since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Later, the truth was exposed by the Autobots, the jet returned, and Chumley handed over to the Soviets. Prime Target

In 2006, during a diplomatic event in which the Autobots were guests, the Decepticon Trypticon tried to steal the Kremlin, one of many famous structures from around the world he was collecting and bringing to Carbombya, as part of a scheme orchestrated by Octane. Metroplex arrived in time to thwart the attempt, but wound up caught seemingly red-handed, holding the building and appearing to be the thief himself. This led to the Soviet government authorizing the expulsion of all Autobots from Soviet territory. The truth was later exposed, and the Autobots were welcomed back into the Soviet Union with open arms. Thief in the Night

Live-action film series

Transformers film

The USSR was aware of Sector Seven and the alien machine in their possession: when the entity was transported from Sector Seven High Arctic Base to Hoover Dam via Canada in the late 1960s, KGB special forces launched a raid to capture it. They were routed. Ghosts of Yesterday

Dark of the Moon film

After detecting a crash on the Moon, the Soviet Union began the Space Race with the United States. They also took several pictures from the surface of the Moon, which showed the Decepticon activity around the Ark. Dark of the Moon

Shattered Glass

In the 1980s, there was a Third World War that presumably involved the Soviet Union. In 2009, it still remains in existence and is an international rival to the despotic United States of America. Eye in the Sky

Notes

  • In the real world, the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, breaking up into its constituent republics. This event was foreseeable to economists when the Generation 1 animated series was being produced in the mid-1980s, but not to cartoon writers. Thus the third season of the cartoon, set in the then-future year of 2006, depicted the Soviet Union as still extant. Oh well.
  • Escalation issue 3 refers to Brasnya as a "breakaway Soviet state", which is corroborated by issue 4. In addition, the opposing army is repeatedly identified as "Soviets". While on first sight this may seem to imply that the Soviet Union still exists in the present-day setting of Escalation, issues 5 and 6 replace "Soviet" with "Russian" and "breakaway" with "former", thereby apparently fixing a major world politics flub. Simon Furman later stated at the German C.O.N.S. convention in July 2012 that any references to "Soviet" are to be considered an error and should read "Russian" instead.
