For timelines in general, see Timeline (disambiguation)

Timelines is a Transformers franchise that belongs to Fun Publications. It began in 2005 as an umbrella banner for BotCon fiction. The previous model of convention fiction had lengthy storylines that had sluggishly unfolded across various years' conventions; Timelines instead promised a series of unconnected stand-alone stories, set in pre-existing or entirely new continuities. "Timelines" has since expanded to include various other stories in multiple formats, primarily text stories with illustrations, made available through the Transformers Club web site.

The "Timelines" banner has not been universally applied to all of Fun Publications' fiction, as the comic strips published in the Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club magazine are not labeled as part of the franchise. However, portions of the club comic's ongoing storyline are told through various Timelines stories.
