Terminator - Timeline

[Megatron]

now that I think about it, we could have Terminator Zero has to happen in the Alpha timeline, since there aren't references to Connor.

Resistance in the original Timeline.

And then you know the rest.

Could the Terminator RPG Timeline be considered canon hypothetically since it combines some aspects from different timelines?


https://terminator.fandom.com/wiki/The_Terminator_RPG_timeline

this suggest that every media of the terminator series is set in the same universe, which is impossible.

Tho if u close some eyes, u can make it possible. But idk, it's very forced, again not impossible, but forced.

In any case if we want to say the RPG Timeline is IT'S OWN UNIVERSE, then it happens after the Sarah Connor Chronicles timeline, as stated in the continuity notes.

Also the wiki (if u go on the PC to see it) as a table which listes all the timelines as they happen.



The stand-alone sections are timeline that we don't know when it happens in relation to the others.

 

[Megatron]

so the order is: Alpha - Original - The Terminator (this can be merged with others timeline) - NOW Comics - Tempest - Dark Years - 2029 to 1984 - Terminator 2 (didn't arrived to T2, but i think this could be merged with something else also) - Battle Across Time - Cybernetic Down - T2 Trilogy - The New John Connor Chronicles (The Tie-In Novels trilogy) - The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Rise of the Machine (can be merged) - Kyla's world - T2 Saga - Terminator Salvation - RPG - Genisys - Dark Fate - Transformers/The Terminator.

Unknown: Future Shock - Genisys - RPG.

Tho if we have to put these timeline in a slot I would say:

- Future Shock, idk.
- Genisys was a new movie after T3, so after Salvation?
- RPG has to be after the T2, T3, TSCC and Salvation timeline, so maybe between Salvation and Genisys?

Also for other timelines that comes to mind:

- as @Pro Bot proved, the resistance timeline can be merged with a lot of timelines.
- RoboCop versus The Terminator, i have no idea.
- Battle across time, i guess after 2029 to 1984 but before cybernetic down.
- Alien vs. Predator vs. The Terminator, idk.
- Fragmented Timeline, idk.
- Pankiller Jane vs. The Terminator, idk.
- Enemy of My enemy, idk.
- Sector War, idk.
- Transformers/The Terminator, must be the last timeline.
- Dawn of fate is the Future War of TSCC as it matches with the dates there.

What do you think?

my thoery as for now says on the Alpha timeline, buti didn't saw it yet.

 

[iceman109]

What makes Sector War an alternate timeline?

Also if you go to the trivia section on the RPG timeline it says the that the timeline was created by numerous TDC incursions into the past

yes, but all the reference it makes means that it has to happen after the others.

 

[iceman109]

yes, but all the reference it makes means that it has to happen after the others.

And the RPG has elements of other timelines due to the incursions also

I found this timeline video

@Megatron do you think it's possible that the timelines go in order based on what year judgement day happened so for example Future Shock would be the original timeline since that timelines Judgement Day happened in 1995?

nope becouse the RPG timeline reverts to 1997. So it can't be.

 

[iceman109]

nope becouse the RPG timeline reverts to 1997. So it can't be.

This is how the T2 RPG book portrays the changing of the timelines

 

[iceman109]

So that's the original timeline, a new unknown timeline, the T3/Salvation timeline and the Sarah Chronicles timeline

tho it misses all the others, as for now i would still go in release date.

 

[iceman109]

To be fair they could happen in any order

 

[Megatron]

To be fair they could happen in any order

you're 100% correct, I'm sticking with release order for simplicity, but yeah you're correct

 

[iceman109]

What would the time travel situation look like with the release order?

I'm gonna find out!

 

[iceman109]

Alright cool tell me when you find out

 

[iceman109]

When do you think the RPG timeline diverged?

 

[iceman109]

What did you find on how the time travel works for the similar timelines?

 

[iceman109]

Although those timeline I mentioned earlier might not have to do with the movies after all

 

[iceman109]

What do you think?

 

[iceman109]

@Megatron I found this timeline chart on Reddit, what do you think of it?

 

[Dallas Kinard]

Any updates on this? I'm mainly looking for the timeline of Salvation, Genyisis and Sarah Conner Chronicles.

 

[stphylcccs]

Anyone know where I can get the director's cut for Terminator 2? I searched online but couldn't find it anywhere (dvd/blue-ray included)

 

[Dallas Kinard]

I'm new to this franchise, but is there any reason The Sarah Conner Chronicles can't be in the same timeline as Salvation?

 

[Pro Bot]

Yes, positively. Certain things happen to Sarah Connor in the 3-4 timeline that are somewhat prevented in the TV series. I mean, it's a time travel franchise so you can fit both in really.

 

[Pro Bot]

The Sarah Connor Chronicles does actually have quite a few **** ups regarding the timeline of the first two films... I just choose to ignore those and follow the intent of the showrunners.
