IDW Hasbro Universe (Primax 1005.19 Gamma) Timelines (My Interpretation)

[Megatron]

I always noticed that on the internet, this continuity is always treated like a cinematic universe. (IDW Collection) I on the other hand, had always a different order in mind that tread this universe like one made by comics. (how it should be) This Timeline and Its Reading Order is infact my interpretation and favorite way to read this fantastic continuity. Obiusly Aside from the main Continuity, I will do in this post a timeline for the "Infestation" universe, the "Heart of Steel" universe and the "Aw, yeah Revolution!". I will not include the ones related to "Infestation" like "Ghostbusters", "Star Trek", "TMNT" and "Dungeons & Draggons". Anyway, without further ado this is the timeline of the IDW Hasbro Universe:

Reading Order Reasons
This planned reading order is following this rule: I can place any Series in the order I want, but I have 2 limits:

1st limit is that Every series is confined to its era.

2nd limit is that I can't change the internal order of each series, example: even if chronologically speaking Spotlight #1 is followed by spotlight #4, the next issue in that series you have to read is spotlight #2, no matter what.

Chapter I - The Furman Era

1. The Transformers: Infiltration #0-6: This is the 1st story published, so it is the natural introduction to the universe.
2. The Transformers: Evolutions #1-4: This story was published at the same time of Infiltration, and it will be referenced a while later, but in any case this will be our 1st flashback story, and I placed it here cos it's a perfect interlude between Infiltration and Stormbringer.
3. The Transformers: Stormbringer #1-4: This miniseries actually takes place during infiltration, I decided to place them separated so we don't break the flow of any of the narratives.
4. New Avengers/Transformers #1-4: The Crossover is placed here in our reading order. Even tho the story takes place during Escalation #1, it's for the best to read it before as it can act as a nice stand-alone read! I'm placing this before the Spotlight issues cos the informations in there (see below) are far more useful for Escalation rather than the crossover.
5. The Transformers: Spotlight #1-6: This is our first anthology series and all of this numbers are placed here to give us context from the 2 connected miniseries and for introducing characters that will play a larger role in Escalation.
6. The Transformers: Escalation #1-6: This miniseries is the sequel of Infiltration.
7. The Transformers: Megatron Origin #1-4: miniseries flashback dealing with what it's in the title, it was published in the post-escalation, so i set it here as it is the best place to dive into the origin of one of the biggest villains of this franchaise.
8. The Transformers: Spotlight #7-12: We continue with these spotlight issues that are set between Escalation and Devastation, we then dive into the events of issues that are set DURING Devastation, but we'll read them here so we don't break the flow of the Devastation miniseries!
9. The Transformers: Devastation #1-6: This miniseries is a sequel to Escalation.

to be continued...

P.S. If you think there are better ways to put this stories in order don't be afraid to inform me!

Funny how most major Transformers universes don't start with Transformers, XD.

427 Transformers comics.

PLUS
204 G.I. Joe comics
&
112 misc. Hasbro Universe comics

You got a lot of work to do.
(At least its not research for the Image Comics Universe.)

 

[Megatron]

New Plan for the reading order! (I'll place the crossover when I finish with the main Hasbroverse)

Basically I'll divide it into Eras!

Furman Era --> McCharty Era --> G. I. Joe Season One --> Costa Era --> G. I. Joe Season Two --> The Transformers Season One --> G. I. Joe Season Three --> The Transformers Season Two --> G. I. Joe Season Four --> Revolution --> First Strike --> Unicron

What I plan to do with each era, is of making all of them a "story of their own" with a start, a development and an ending as you'll see with the Furman Era already (SPOILER, it will end with Hail and Farewell tecnically, but the last BIG STORY will be Revelation and not Maximum Dinobots, but dw ofc in the detailed timeline everything will be placed in their precise order! I'm talking only about the reading order. So instead of "Devastation --> Revelations --> Spotlight Grimlock --> Maximum Dinobots" as it is with every order I've seen online, here we'll do "Devastation --> Spotlight Grimlock --> Maximum Dinobots --> Revelations").

P.S. Decided to leave out the multiversal stories as they aren't set in this earth.
