I dislike refering to RiD as a first-contact story, as in episode 3, the train station personel recognized Optimus Prime, and seemed ot have a fairly good grasp of him being the good guy to Preds' bad guy. A perponderance of evidence within the cartoon would appear to indicate that RiD was not first-contact, but that there had been some previous period of public TF activity on Earth. (That activity being based on parts of the G1 cartoon.)

Also, the description of the Unicron Trilogy, though factually accurate, is muddled. I was glazing over while reading it.

I've made some minor modifications to address your concerns. I at least partially agree with you about the RID thing -- the story told in the cartoon is clearly not the Transformers' first contact with humans in that timeline, as a big part of the story centers around TF contact with ancient humans. My original wording was a little clumsy.
Also, I removed the mention of the manga that XBob put into the "prominant g1 continuities" list. If I'm mistaken about this, somebody should feel free to put it back in again, but I was under the impression that the manga wasn't, in general, in-continuity with the TV shows. I had already made mention of the manga's existence in the Japanese continuities section, and I think that is probably sufficient. Certainly among English-speakings fans at least, the G1 manga is not a "prominant" continuity.
As a reminder to everyone using Talk pages, please sign your comments so other editors can tell who said what and when they said it. You can sign automatically by writing four tilde (~) characters in a row. There is even a "signature" button at the top of the edit area which will insert this automatically.
