I don't quit understand

[haldu2]

Hey, I'm sure you guys can clear me up. I don't understand how the individual series are realated like Cybertron and Armada. Are they conected by the story? Thanks

|sf>I confess that I haven't watched Cybertron yet. However, I do know that the Energon cartoon took place ten years later in the same universe/timeline as the Armada cartoon. Judging by the toys and names, I presume that Cybertron is a sequel/spin-off to Energon's timeline.

The most recent continuity is Armada/Energon/Cybertron, each set about 10 years later than the previous show. However, the cartoon is animated in Japan, and for some reason, they decided to make Cybertron a new continuity. The US translators tried to link the Cybertron cartoon to Armada/Energon, but the results is a loose connection at best. The toy bios for Cybertron are definitely in continuity with Armada and Energon though.

Previously, there was the G1/Beast Wars/Beast Machines continuity, then the Robots in Disguise (RID) continuity. RID was the first new continuity and was only one year (it was originally a Japaneese show/toy line), but it didn't do too well there and was basically filler in the US between Beast Machines and Armada. Armada was another reboot into a new continuity.

Hope that answers your question and wasn't too much info.

Er...'k i think I kindof get it. But could someone put together a real simple time line for me with a few major events on it, like I don't get the whole unicron thing?

Thanks guys, it's almost coming together for me.

Okay, the last time I looked seriously at Transformers' story lines was in the late 1980s. Is there someplace I could find a "master story" to bring me up to date? What happens in each apparently parallel story line? I'm getting increasingly confused as I look at the story lines again.

I probably wasn't lending my knowledge to this thread because it's been dormant for about 8 and a half months...

Why, the answer is quite simple:

So a new toy can be made for each character! ;D

[reallyniceguy]

They are not a continuation my dear freinds. Some Stories are so great that they can be retold again and again. Just wait until you take your kids to see the Remake of the Wizard of Oz or Star Wars 4, I cannot explain the glee you will receive when the role of Dorthy is replaced by Al Pacino's daughter, and the role of Obi-Wan is replaced by Keifer Sutherland!
