I originally considered using franchise and series names but I felt using stream names while less popular are more "neutral". e.g) G2 and Beast Wars are basically the future of G1 but many wouldn't consider a character introduced in G2 or Beast Wars to be G1, the only umbrella term I could find that binds G2, Beast Wars and G1 together would be Primax.

It's fine for "Uniend" to be swapped with "Aligned" and "Tyran" to be swapped with "Live-action" but huge families like G1/G2/Beast Era and Unicron Trilogy are much more complicated.
