Continuity family

A continuity family is 's term for a group of related individual continuities that belong to the same Transformers franchise. For example, Generation 1, the original Transformers toyline and franchise, had several distinct, separate continuities. Therefore, there is no single Generation 1 continuity, but many related ones.

The two major continuity families are:
 * The Generation 1 continuity family
 * This includes the original television series, the Marvel Comic, and the subsequent Beast Wars and Beast Machines franchises.


 * The Unicron Trilogy continuity family
