Transformers Live-Action Continuities - Timelines

In the Cyber Missions cartoon, which takes place after ROTF, Frenzy is shown to be alive.

This doesn't cause a huge continuity problem since the ROTF prequel 'Veiled Threat' novel shows that Frenzy's severed head in the ROTF movie was actually still alive. It was just being kept as captive by Seymour Simmons and was dormant when it was not activated. It is possible Frenzy somehow escaped at some point and reunited with Barricade.

That it's own timeline.
 
nope it's not.

As you can see it's in the expanded universe timeline:


Ask Vector Prime isn't so good at doing reality designations, for example he gave different reality designations to BOTH the cybertron games, which we both know they're canon to one another and also canon to the Transformers Prime Cartoon.


 
hope u had a good laugh @selfishmisery . Anyway @BB10 the Cyber Mission are in the expanded universe timeline, as it does matches the status quo of Barber's comics, so no contraddictions.

Infact basically everyone besides "someone" has it in the timeline.

Canon-adjancy, really. The Cyberton games example you gave is in regards to historical elements being shared between those universes but in regards to exact events those are unique to one reality.

Similar to how a few elements of the DCEU will carry over to the DCU in "rough memory" but not 100% the same.

Cyber Missions may have some bits & pieces that happened in the movie/IDW timeline, but as the shorts are presented they are designated differently.

"Ask Vector Prime isn't so good at doing reality designations" is opinion. If it wasn't the Wiki would disregard it.

Chill. You are acting petty as heck with your phrasing right now, man.

If the laugh emoji triggers you that much I will undo it.

the wiki disregard it:

From the Expanded Universe timeline in the wiki:

"The Decepticons continue their struggles against the Autobots and NEST all around the world. Cyber Missions When Soundwave is captured after a failed attack on NEST command, Cyber Missions 1 Cyber Missions 2 the Autobots pretend to transport him to lure Megatron and the Decepticons into a trap. The Decepticons fall for the ruse, which proves to the final straw for Megatron's disenfranchised troops: they all abandon their leader to his fate. Megatron is ordered to depart Earth by Optimus Prime, Decepticons Attack". Again this is in the first link i sent you.

Also the guys of the wiki made a simplified order for the espanded universe, and they added Cyber missions.

I'm talking the Vector Prime designations in their entirety.

Those are historical events that are shared, yes. The shorts down to a T are designated as their own reality.
 
I don't take those designations seriously. Both the prequel Bayverse novels were referenced in the comics and the writee John Barbee confirmed he considera them canon to the comics. Yet, the novels have a different designation.

Even the people writing about those designations have said that they do not translate 100% to universes. Plus they also claim that streams can split off and merge again.
"This. There is no reasons streams can't diverge and then reconnect", Jim Sorenson, writer of Ask Vector Prime, on a discussion on why Headmasters has its own designation.
 
There is a reason why I put the individual Tyran universal streams in the timeline headers, also.

DC's Hypertime logic essentially.

Hear what I am saying though: This isn't a generalized "expanded universe" timeline. That is what Pro Bot's thread is for. I am spliting things up into catagories based on the Vector Sigma designations, branches excluded.
