Ghostbusters - Timeline

[Pro Bot]

nope, Transformers: Hearts of Steel and Infestation 2 are canon in both the Conspiracy universe and the IDW Hasbroverse universe. Conspiracy is a divergent timeline, so Infestation can be still canon in the prime universe of Ghostbusters.

1. Hearts of Steel is an alternate timeline, not part of the main continuity. Conspiracy is a continuation of that timeline. Conspiracy erases itself at the end of the story, but is still the present day of that specific universe.

2. Infestation: Ghostbusters is canon to Dimension Prime. I'm well-aware of this. Infestation is a multiverse IDW event. It's canon to a lot of things.

I was talking about the three universes in question.

1. Ghostbusters Universe (Alt. G1 Transformers exist)
2. Hasbro IDW Universe
3. Hearts of Steel/Infestation 2/Conspiracy Universe

Nono Heart of steel and Infestation 2 are 100% Canon, they get an explanation on the phase 3 of the hasbroverse. And Shockwave Is involved.

Ah, I see now. They're brainwashed. God, why are comics always way more confusing than I expect?

So is Conspiracy part of the Hasbroverse, albeit prior to being erased in-canon?

 

[Megatron]

The "Autobots" and "Decepticons" from Heart of steel, are maximals that crushed on earth during the Ice Age, he made them an experiment, making them Believe to be the real Autobots and Decepticons. The great War that you see at the begining of the Heart of steel Comic Is Shockwave' s experiment.

Is Conspiracy canon to the Hasbroverse? Because that would mean that Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters exist in that reality too, lol.

Nope, Divergent timeline from what I Heard, I have to Read It to be sure. And at the Moment I didn't reach phase 3, I'm on phase 2 now.

Mr. Jozaca, I Will message you on the cartoon Transformers thread, when I found It.

 

[Megatron]

Anyway guys, if you think about It, shockwave's experiment are the Beast Wars of the hasbroverse.

So some of displaced Aggression isn’t finished

 

[Pro Bot]

It is, it's just that some pages that place at different points in time. All of a comic could be set in one place on the timeline, so no page numbers, while other times there's certain panels that are flashbacks.

reason I ask is cause of this

Casper added properly. Just don't ask me to add The Earth Day Special with Egon's brother, Elon Splengler, president of the "Wastebusters", lol.

I mean, look at this. Nope, lol.

Spoiler: Cast of "The Earth Day Special"

I like to think all Emmett Brown cameos are canon and just a consequence of time travel, though.

>all of Emmett Brown's cameos are canon thanks to time travel

You mean, even that one Seth MacFarlane movie is canon?!

 

[Pro Bot]

I like to think so, lol. I'm not so sure it'd hold up though, it's just a fun thought.

 

[Pro Bot]

All that is accurate. Let me explain.

**Ghostbusters: Displaced Aggression #2** (pg. 6)
**Ghostbusters: Displaced Aggression #1** (pg. 22)
**Ghostbusters: Displaced Aggression #2**

All of #2's pages has scenes set after #1 pg. 22, but pg. 6 has a flashback to before it. So, pg. 6 is both before and after #1 pg. 22.

Since the entire comic has pages set after, the pages aren't split up.

 

[Pro Bot]

Yeah, that was a lot of work but I'm basically done now.

 

[Pro Bot]

Just so I'm keeping track.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed timeline
-Post Afterlife.
-Halloween decorations around.
-Act 2 is "weeks" after Act 1. (I think - I don't remember which part stated the new recruit was on the job for weeks)
-Act 6 is 9 days after Act 5.

As for it being canon, the new characters state it's a temporary job, so either they didn't move on to a prolonged contract or they started busting outside New York like Bryan Welsh/Rookie (from TVG) did after 1991. They state Phoebe will take over the firehouse one day too, so it's pretty easy for this to be canon with the upcoming film. I think everything from now on will be canon with the films anyway.

https://ghostbustersnews.com/2023/1...he-story-between-afterlife-and-frozen-empire/Ghostbusters: Back In Town is the title.

 

[Pro Bot]

1994 - San Francisco Ghostbusters established
2024 - no ghosts have been seen in San Francisco for decades.

Ray Stantz has a cameo at the end of the game, so Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord seems to be safely part of Afterlife canon, which means that the last ghost sighting was definitely not 30 years prior to Afterlife because the San Francisco Ghostbusters were established 27 years before it.

https://ghostbustersfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Denver_GhostbustersEd, Egon's nephew, is from Ghostbusters fan-fiction. He was confirmed canon by Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

I wonder if his father is Elon Spengler, president of the Wastebusters.
