X-Files Timeline

Reminds me of how the X-Men '92: House of XCII leaves open the possibility of it being connected to the cartoon series or previous comic books on purpose, allowing it to link the two universes technically. Technically it could link to the Action Hour shows as an alternate timeline too.
 
Btw Pro Bot, could conspiracy and Seasons 10-11 (comics) be the same universe and then the timeline alteration leads to season 10-11 of the TV show?
 
You could probably include Ghostbusters 1-2 (confirmed to be separate from the IDW series), Transformers: Hearts of Steel (shared canon with IDW), Infestation 2 (shared canon with IDW; Transformers only), and whatever specific TMNT and The Crow references there are. I believe that The Crow portion features a new character so nothing there.
 
X-Files Universe (Timeline 1):
1867 - Transformers: Evolutions: Hearts of Steel #1
1867 - Transformers: Evolutions: Hearts of Steel #2
1867 - Transformers: Evolutions: Hearts of Steel #3
1867 - Transformers: Evolutions: Hearts of Steel #4
1888 - Infestation 2: The Transformers #1
1888 - Infestation 2: The Transformers #2
2014 - The X-Files: Conspiracy #1
2014 - The X-Files/Ghostbusters: Conspiracy #1
2014 - The X-Files/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Conspiracy #1
2014 - The X-Files/Transformers: Conspiracy #1
2014 - The X-Files/The Crow: Conspiracy #1
2014 - The X-Files: Conspiracy #2

Okay, nah. Based on Egon's hair colour, it's probably a unique version. Only the Transformers are from an existing continuity as far as I can tell. I suppose in this timeline maybe they weren't brainwashed but actually are the original characters.

it's like that I think.
 
I might have misinterpreted the final scene of that comic. (Not my fault, reviews did it first!)

The X-Files: Conspiracy's ending is probably set in the timeline where the virus was unleashed, and the timeline being erased was the bad ending... which means that Hearts of Steel and the IDW TMNT (I checked, they connect to it) are, I guess, part of the main X-Files timeline? I guess The Crow could be too, but well, no story connections to any other Crow.

The X-Files: Conspiracy is set in 2014. I don't know the specifics of the S10 comic timeline, but I imagine it doesn't extend that far. Maybe it's in the S10 tv timeline.

Let's say it's the IDW Turtles though. That means that they travelled the multiverse to meet the Ghostbusters who happen to simply be native in their home universe. Awkward.

In any case, say you don't want to include TMNT comics, it'd be easy to just include Conspiracy without Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or The Crow.

I don't know if the movies or the comics are canon to this crossover. In the latter case, probably best to ignore the crossover here because 30 Days of Night crosses over with Criminal Macabre.

Just the 30DoN comics. I actually did watch the film earlier, but it's probably it's own universe.

No idea what Criminal Macabre is though.
 
I finished my write up for Conspiracy. The reviews were definitely wrong about it wiping itself out of continuity. So... if it ends up fitting with the X-Files timeline and no characters are indisposed by 2014, then... canon. At least the Ghostbusters and The Crow crossovers don't actually connect to anything directly.

The TMNT story is set at a time after Leonardo was freed from the Foot Clan's brainwashing in the IDW TMNT comics. I think that including all of that would be a little ridiculous though.

They stop the virus and a bomb from blowing up the CDC, then walk away victorious. It then shows an alternate timeline where they failed, and the Crow helps them send back future newspapers to the past as clues to prevent the virus, which erases their timeline and leads directly into #1 where they got the future newspapers.

That's so trippy, either way i think this could be placed within season 10 and 11 (comics)?
 
Anyway, looking at crossovers that The X-Files had.

Strange Luck
-References FBI agent Fox Mulder. They got permission to use the name from Chris Carter.
-This connects to Eerie, Indiana through a fictional newspaper. Probably best to ignore even though it's just one season. Fox Mulder could be a variant.

The Simpsons
-The Springfield Files is a crossover between the two series.
-Uh... I don't have to explain why this is problematic. At most, I'd only include the episode. At least, I wouldn't include any of The Simpsons.

Homicide: Life on the Street/Law and Order
-John Munch.
-Variant. Variant, variant, variant!!! Don't even think about it.

30 Days of Night
-Comic crossover.
-There's a substantial amount of content here. I'm not even sure if the crossover even has any 30 Days of Night characters or just uses the same vampires. There's also a crossover with the Criminal Macabre comics, so even more unrelated content. Nope. 30 Days of Night's world was actually part of the Infestation 2 event.

Ghostbusters
-Comic crossover.
-No connections to any other Ghostbusters content.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
-Comic crossover.
-Connects to IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continuity, which might be too substantial to include and possibly connects to other media.

Transformers
-Comic crossover.
-Connects to the Hearts of Steel continuity, albeit without the latter Hasbroverse retconned connections. This would be easy to include. Might set a precedent for comic crossovers that would make things much tougher though.

The Crow
-Comic crossover.
-No connections to any other The Crow content.

The funny thing though, if Hearts of Steel is canon to both, that means that the Infestation old ones sent their creatures to both the Hasbroverse and the X-Files universe at the exact same time and place, which led to the exact same events happening, despite them being different universes and having different characters participating (even though they look the same and both think they're, say, the real Optimus Prime - even though only one of them are).

The X-Files/TMNT: Conspiracy #1

*There are several continuity errors in this issue that clash with TMNT #31. Leonardo wears his blue bandana in this issue, but does not get it back until TMNT #31. Also, Don laments the slow internet in this issue, but says in TMNT #31 that he has NO internet access whatsoever. The immediate reaction might be to place X-Files/TMNT after TMNT #31, but events that occur in TMNT #31 (such as April's haircut and the Foot Clan attack) make that placement impossible. These continuity errors are simply irreconcilable.

Hm. Well, if that's all true, then yeah. Only Hearts of Steel/Infestation 2: The Transformers are canon to X-Files and this event doesn't actually add much at all. You've already done Hearts of Steel on the Hasbro timeline so that's easy.
