Earthforce isn't 'of uncertain continuity.' They're fairly exp0licit about the continuity break in the letters page. After Time Wars, the timeline readjusted itself as is Galvatron has never been (Thus the undestroyed Nemesis in us #72) and thus the US timeline. Unicron arrives in 1991. That much is said explicitly.
The Earthforce seems to take place in the 'original' timeline- with Unicron still arriving in 2006.
Perchange to Dream Galvatron was confirmed to be the same one from Rhythms of Darkness in a couple places int eh last few years. In the Earthforce timeline, he headed for Earth. In the 'US' timeline, he headed to Cybertron- which (when he was incommunicado too long) was the Template:Tooltip of Unicron altering his course to arrive 15 years early.
Do we need a Marvel timeline, or at least something about the wierdness after Time Wars?-Derik 07:08, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't believe that the Earthforce stories take place in the original Pre-Time-Wars timeline - that's needelessly fiddly and pointless. Even as the stories are beginning, Unicron's approach to Cybertron, caused by the Primal Scream, is taking place and the Autobots are preparing against it.
- The question is whether or not the Earthforce timeline is the progression of the core UK timeline, or a further tangent timeline that branches off from it. Up to this point, one has the US storyline and the UK storyline, but is the "Earthforce" story simply part of the UK timeline - it's events supplanting the US Unicron story, in the way that Bumblebee's re-creation by Wreck-Gar supplants the G.I. Joe crossover - merely another, albeit more severe, difference from the US timeline, or is it itself a FURTHER divergence from the UK timeline, taking place in a THIRD universe, while the original UK universe carries on to end in the same manner as the US timeline? So, yeah. Uncertain would be a good way of putitng it. - Chris McFeely 17:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
I would say yes, because this is beginning to confuse me, as I never read the comics, even if I am old enough to have done so. - Ithekro
