In an attempt to lessen growing hostilities caused by the splintering governments and the dwindling resources on Cybertron, the last Overlord started the State Games: an inter-city athletics tournament. This allowed the population to exorcise their hostilities, and soon the vicious athlete [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] had a cult of personality based around him and his feats. |

Revision as of 18:57, 20 June 2008
A timeline for the events of the Generation 1 Marvel Comics universe(s). UK-only historical events are in italics.
(CONTINUITY NOTE: Beast Wars and Beast Machines take place in a universe that likely shares many facets of this timeline. Though exactly which and how many of these events, or those of the Generation 1 cartoon timeline, occur in that continuity is unknown, a link to the Beast Era timeline is provided for reference here at the points where a major historical event from those shows would occur.)
The Dawn of Time
The universe is created. It's unknown if this was an accident, or if some god had anything to do with it.
Prehistory
Birth of Cybertron
Overlords
From an unknown point of time, Cybertron was ruled by the Overlords, a governing council of absolute rulers. Over time, their power and number dwindled, until Cybertron was comprised of multiple city-states who were constantly clashing with each other; the key three powers were Vos, Tarn and Iacon.
State Games
They think it's all over... it is now!
In an attempt to lessen growing hostilities caused by the splintering governments and the dwindling resources on Cybertron, the last Overlord started the State Games: an inter-city athletics tournament. This allowed the population to exorcise their hostilities, and soon the vicious athlete Megatron had a cult of personality based around him and his feats.
Vos — ruled by a Starscream-headed criminal syndicate — sent its athletic team to bomb Tarn (ruled by Shockwave) and finger Iacon as the culprit. As with all plans by Starscream, this cocked up — Tarn realised Vos had attacked it, and war broke out that devastated both cities. Iacon happily let its rivals beat on each other. During the conflict, Megatron ensured the death of the Overlord; once it was over, he used his fame and charisma to convince the war's survivors that Iacon was at fault for not stepping in to prevent the war, and that Iacon was the enemy. This angry mass became the first Decepticons. State Games
War on the Horizon
Caaaaan yoooooou dig it?!
The Decepticons were considered harmless cranks to be humored, but ultimately ignored. Megatron crafted the malcontent group into a more formidable organization [1], and they soon had bases in Autobot cities. In secret, the Decepticons armed themselves and were given the ability to transform into war machines — and then hit an unprepared Cybertron without warning! The Transformers (comic issue)
Early Great War
Megatron (G1) leads the Decepticons, but he will vanish after only 100 years.[1]
4 million years ago
Cybertron passes near Earth's solar system. The planet's energy supplies have been drained to critical by the war.
Post-Arklaunch
Current era
1984
A volcanic eruption reactivates Teletraan I, the internal computer of the Ark. The Autobots and the Decepticons awaken, and restart the Great War.
