Animated cartoon continuity
From Transformers Wiki
The core of the Animated cartoon continuity is, naturally, the Transformers Animated cartoon series and its print adaptations. It is associated with the "Malgus" Universal stream.
With few exceptions, the supplemental fiction associated with Transformers Animated presents itself as being in-continuity with the cartoon. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that all of the various story lines are in-continuity with each other. When contradictions happen, we can only assume they represent divergent continuities.
- Bumblebee wanted to be in the Cybertron Elite Guard so much that he redecorated himself in Elite Guard markings in order to look the part.
- Jetstorm and Jetfire's origin, which is contradicted by the comic that was included with their toys.
- The Arrival and Titan's Transformers Animated are both comic series that depict additional events that happened during and in-between episodes of the cartoon.
- The AllSpark Almanac, The AllSpark Almanac II, and The Complete AllSpark Almanac are almanacs chronicling a vast array of information about the Animated cartoon continuity.
- Various other story, profile, and activity books.
Continuation
Timelines
- "The Stunti-Con Job" is a BotCon 2011-exclusive comic and script reading which is set in "season 3.5" of Transformers Animated. Most of the exclusive toys from that convention are also from Animated cartoon continuity.
- "The Return of Blurr" was the BotCon 2015-exclusive script reading, later compiled and published as a storybook. It was the final canonically-released Animated storyline.
Japanese continuity
- As usual in Transformer cartoons, the Japanese and American versions of Transformers Animated have certain differences, such as different names for characters and dialog differences.
