650,000 BC
Shockwave, sensing the oncoming death of Cybertron, seeds several planets (including Earth) with experimental energon ores.
8390 BC
On a trip to Earth to monitor the development of "Ore-13," Shockwave is blindsighted by Grimlock's revenge-seeking Dynabots. Grimlock triggers a volcanic eruption that leaves them all buried in ash and in stasis lock.
3000 BC
Humans discover the Enigma of Combination, which stimulates their mental development and propel them to build Sumeria. Human mental patterns are virtually indistinguishable from Cybertonians'.
1988
A mortally-wounded Scorponok is driven from Nebulos by Ultra Magnus and flees to Earth, where he forms an alliance with a tycoon Abraham Dante, and the two eventually fuse themselves together using Scorponok's experimental Headmaster technology. They are ultimately stopped by a revived Grimlock.
2005
Starscream, commanding an Infiltration Unit on Earth, discovers Ore-13 and uses it in a bid to usurp Megatron. Megatron comes to Earth and executes Starscream for betraying him one too many times. Unbeknownst to either, though, Starscream has a mutant indestructible spark, and exists on in a disembodied state.
2008
After a major defeat of the Autobots, the Decepticons set their sights on Earth for its Ore-13 and move in, conquering it and beginning to mine the globe for its resources. Starscream possesses the body of a slain Decepticon and manages to convince Megatron that he has seen the err of his ways. Megatron, intrigued by Starscream's mutation, allows him back into the fold with the secret intention of dissecting him later.
Optimus Prime, after recovering from grievous injuries suffered at the hands of Megatron, rallies just enough Autobot survivors to return to Earth and after wounding Megatron, drive the Decepticons off-planet. Though Earth is extremely mistrustful of their Autobot saviors, human governments are too decimated to refuse the aid offered by the Autobots and an uneasy alliance is formed.
2009
Hot Rod convinces several Autobot discontents who feel unwelcome on Earth to take one of the Autobot's few remaining ships and strike out on a quest to seek out the legendary Knights of Cybertron.
2010
The Earth Defence Command is formed. G. B. Blackrock, secretly harboring the Enigma of Combination, and using technology taken from Scorponok's labs, starts developing his own Headmaster tech. He is able to recruit volunteers to undergo cybernetic enhancements to become pilots for robot drones.
During a renewed Decepticon invasion on Earth led by the mad usurper Galvatron, the Enigma is uncovered. When five Autobots--Chromedome, Brainstorm, Highbrow, Hardhead, and Gunslinger--are mortally wounded protecting it, the Enigma fuses each of them with a human Headmaster. A second pulse of energy from the Engima fuses the Protectobots and the Combaticons into combiners. Ultimately, the Decepticons are driven off, and the Enigma is placed in Optimus Prime's custody.
2012
Megatron regains command of the Decepticons and launches an attack on the minimal Autobot garrison guarding Cybertron. But it is a hollow victory; the Decepticons find themselves in possession of a dead planet. But it's the principal of the thing.
To get himself back in Megatron's good graces, Shockwave reveals his army of cloned Predacons, ancient draconic Transformers that had been wiped out by Galvatron, to bolster Megatron's depleted ranks.
2018
Unicron attacks Cybertron! Autobot and Decepticon forces return to the planet and set aside their differences long enough to fight the Chaos-Bringer.
During the battle, Megatron, realizing the error of his ways, renounces the Decepticon cause and dons the Autobrand of the slain Bumblebee, and Optimus Prime unleashes the power of the Matrix to slay Unicron. The wash of Matrix energy across the planet triggers its reawakening, and Cyberton is restored to a primordial state.
Cybertronians across the galaxy, including Neutrals who now outnumber the dwindling Autobot and Decepticon forces, all receive a psychic signal: "Come home."
2019
Megatron is placed on trial for his Crimes against the Galaxy. While initially content to plead guilty and accept judgement, an attempt by Starscream to humiliate him during his testimony causes Megatron to change his mind and plead his Right to Judgement by the Knights of Cybertron. Given this is a right that cannot be denied, Optimus allows him to join Hot Rod's quest to find the Knights.
The Neutrals are mistrustful of Autobot and Decepticon alike. Starscream uncovers a dying Titan in the Cybertronian Wastelands and accidentally activates its space bridge, making contact with the lost colony Caminus. With a combination of hyping up his discovery (and assassinating his political opponent Metalhawk) he gets himself elected President of Cybertron.
Starscream gets ahold of the Engima of Combination and uses it to control Menasor and Superion for a staged attack on Caminus in an attempt to ingratiate the colony world to him. However, Camiens consider Primes divine, and defer to Optimus Prime's influence instead.
The embittered Constructicons, seeking to sabotage Starscream's rulership, attack the space bridge.Optimus Prime is forced to use the Enigma of Combination to fuse himself with Prowl, Ironhide, Sunstreaker and Mirage to fight back; the two fall through the space bridge and their battle takes them across Velocitron, Eukaris, and Prion before Optimus Maximus drags home a defeated Devastator.
2020
Formal diplomatic overtures are sent out to Velocitron, Eukaris, and Prion (decimated from constant attacks by organic species) to join Cybertron and Caminus in the "Cybertronian Council of Worlds." All colony worlds accept, with varying degrees of enthusiasm.
Soundwave gathers Decepticon "loyalists" and, with the aid of the United Nations, begins construction of a space station in orbit of Jupiter. Bludgeon gathers a splinter faction of his own and attacks Earth. Optimus Prime is forced to annex Earth into the Cybertronian Council in order to grant the planet protection once again. Earth governments are resistant at first, but when Optimus Prime raises Metroplex out of the ground, Earth's governments reluctantly take their place in the Council of Worlds.
2024
Planet Beest, a world that had once been a front in its own right in the Autobot/Decepticon War, and now under the leadership of reformed pirate White Leo, petitions to join the Council after years of extortion at the hands of the interplanetary protection racket known as the Black Block Consortia. Their petition is accepted, and Fortress Maximus leads the charge to drive the Consortia away.
2069
The first hot spot of sparks erupts on Cybertron in millennia; all of Cybertron rejoices as a new generation is born.
2119
