The Transformers Multiverse Reading/Watching/Playing Order

[Megatron]

Beast Wars --> Unicron Trilogy --> Marvel Comics --> TransTech --> Marvel Comics, again --> Shattered Glass --> G1 Cartoon --> Animated --> Cinematic Universe --> Alligned --> The Rest (of Fun Publications).

Okii so we need ehm... a place for the Hasbroverse.

guys instead of getting at each others throats, what do you think about this order?

It works for me!

awwww, Marvel Straxus got into the Japanese Cartoon Continuity, that's cute...


tbh even tho Transformers doesn't have a main universe, I always tought that 3 could be that spot the IDW Hasbro Universe (But it ended so rip.), The Alligned Continuity (But it isn't relevant as before), and ofc the Japanese G1 Cartoon, and tbh with you guys, thanks to all the multiversal crossovers that are in this continuity (yeah Straxus is only one of them, even Slipstream from Animated got here) I think they should make JG1 as the main canon.

EDIT: Since Megatron time travels to the universe that existed before the actual one, in an hypotetical Simplified order we can place the stories after the war on Earth.

And little note, since Megatron appears in the 1st universe, he's technically the 1st Cybertronian, even tho he is an assembled one and not a pure one.

if you were curious, Trasformers actually has 9 main universes that have branches, according to canon, they're called the "Nine Pillar Realities" as described in this amazing video by Commander Radix!


But if a 17 minutes long video is too much for you, here's the list:

First Pillar Reality - Primax 984.0 Gamma (G1 Marvel US Comic Universe)
Second Pillar Reality - Primax 984.17 Alpha (G1 US Cartoon Universe)
Third Pillar Reality - Primax 496.22 Alpha (Beast Wars/Beast Machines Solo Universe)
Fourth Pillar Reality - Viron 901.8 Alpha (Robots in Disguise Universe)
Fifth Pillar Reality - Aurex 802.23 (US Unicron Trilogy Cartoon Universe)
Sixth Pillar Reality - Primax 1005.19 Gamma (IDW Hasbro Universe)
Seventh Pillar Reality - Tyrant 707.04 Delta (2007 Live-Action Film Universe)
Eight Pillar Reality - Malgus 1207.26 Alpha (Animated Universe)
Ninth Pillar Reality - Unied 911.05 Alpha (Alligned Universe)

I have to give credits to Commander Radix, watching his early multiverse videos made me realize (and I thimk Mr. @Pro Bot will have his mind blown out) that how well The Fallen's defeat shown in the Films tie-in comics and how he's entrapped in another dimension, is linked so well with The Dark Age miniseries from Dreamwave Productions where The Fallen escapes his "exiles".

This makes me think that Furman really had a plan to make for a very unique multiverse, until the Alligned Continuity arrived and (expecially Rise of the Dark Spark) fucked everything over, it's a bit sad tbh.

P.S. You can see how this multiverse is so convuluted that it needs a lot of reboot and behind the scenes thinking to pull this thread off.

this could also mean that the universe before the main universe from JG1 continuity is the original universe that was until the Primes made the multiverse?
