User:Broadside/Sandbox:Universal streams
From Transformers Wiki
While as many as fifteen quadrillion universes are currently known to exist, only a minute fraction of these universal streams have had their official Axiom Nexus catalogue classification revealed. These are those streams, and the continuity family or individual continuities they refer to.
What's with all the numbers? Do Cybertronians really talk like that?"

| Aurex 1104.30-DB Zeta | "Lonesome Diesel" | According to Vector Prime, the TransTechs had been debating over whether this universe was a Primax-influenced Aurex universe, or an Aurex-influenced Primax universe. Dr. Jones attempted to reverse-engineer the Maximus combination technology and apply it to Mini-Cons, which resulted in the creation of the Micromaster combiners. The Decepticons, however, stole this technology and used it to create their own Micromaster combiner. Thus, Superion, Defensor, and Rail Racer fought Devastator as the Unicron Singularity drew near.

| Aurex 105.08 Alpha | Galaxy Force cartoon | The Grand Black Hole crisis threatened to swallow the entire universe. Planet X travelled to this universe The Secret of Planet X from Primax 886.0 Gamma, after travelling through several universes before it. It originated as half of Unicron's corpse. Ask Vector Prime, 6/8/2015 |
Galaxy Force was thought of and written to be in a separate continuity from Micron Densetsu and Super Link, but was later retconned into being part of MD World. So now it's both! | Initial Japanese airdate of "The Sacred Homeworld, Planet Cybertron, Destroyed?!". |
| Aurex 105.15 Gamma | Galaxy Force manga | The Grand Black Hole threatened to devour this universe too. Touchdown!

| Aurex 405.0 Epsilon | Fun Publications' Cybertron fiction | After Sentinel Maximus pulled Cryotek through a Quintesson portal into a dimension of nothingness, Primus decreed that Maximus was needed elsewhere and transported him to Aurex 405.0 Epsilon, where the Unicron Singularity crisis was occurring. Wreckers: Finale Part II Omega Prime was also called into this universe from elsewhere to aid Primus's guardians. Balancing Act | Fun Publications' Cybertron fiction was originally thought to be set in the universe of the cartoon, but referred to events from the comic as well. | Month that Hasbro Collectors' Club #2 was mailed to club members. |
| Aurex 006.0 Kappa | Primus Unleashed game | Spacewarp hails from this universe. Vector Prime was once attempting to aid Primus in stopping the discharge of dark matter from the Unicron Singularity when he was ambushed by Spacewarp and her loyal Mini-Cons. Ask Vector Prime, 9/17/2015 | Spacewarp indicated that her reality's Starscream is named Ulchtar. Seems to be a bit of a theme with Kappa-type Aurex universes. | Release... year of Primus Unleashed. |
| Aurex 606.0 Kappa | Unreleased Quest for Cybertron game | Unicron brought Red Alert and Firebot to participate in the Universe War. They were later unable to return home to this reality, as it apparently (and confusingly) never had existed in the first place. Ask Vector Prime, 9/14/2015 No, we don't understand either. | The universe never existing at all is a nod to the canceled status of the game. How Unicron could grab bots from a universe that never existed is a mystery for the ages. | Date that the game was announced. |
| Aurex 906.29 Alpha | Alternate universe from the end credits of "Beginning" | After being caught in an explosion from a fight between Galvatron and Starscream, the Primax 994.0 Gamma Planet X Transformers Sideways, Soundwave, and Laserbeak ended up in an alternate universe containing an intact version of their homeworld Planet X.

| Aurex 1006.0 Beta | Alternate universe from the end credits of "Beginning" | The Megatron from this reality was a Child of Primus during the Universe War and, as a result, was fully aware of Unicron's threat when the Chaos-Bringer showed up in this universe. Knock-on effects meant Starscream survived the war and took command of the Decepticons after Megatron's 'death', leading to an Autobot-Decepticon alliance that survived the coming of the Terrorcons, during which Megatron returned and died, and the Singularity crisis, during which Megatron returned again. Megatron upgraded into Beast Megatron rather than Galvatron here, and met his match when Optimus Prime, upgraded to beast form to match him, slew him with Vector Prime's sword. Ask Vector Prime, 19/9/2015 Aurex 1006.0 Beta's would later join the Convoy as "Beast Prime". Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News Reporter | Going by the designation, this universal stream potentially includes the Jungle Planet Megatron and Smokescreen toys' bios as well. | Release date of the ninth wave of Cybertron deluxe-class toys. |

Transformers I.Q. in TCC #56 | Going by the designation, this universal stream potentially includes the "Opposites Attack" two-pack of Excellion and Thundercracker as well. | Release date of the "Search for the Pirate Moon" two-pack of Downshift and Cannonball. |
| Aurex 615.03 Epsilon | Ask Vector Prime post about the universe | In this universe, the Beast Wars were waged in Alpha Q's universe 300 years after the Autobot/Decepticon war. The Maximals and Predacons fought multiple sub-wars on these planets, with bizarre 'beast' modes on each one, until the Alternity had to step in. Ask Vector Prime, 9/23/2015 | This universe is an offshoot of Aurex 503.21 Gamma. It's unclear how much of the war's history is the same between Aurex 615.03 Epsilon and Aurex 503.21 Gamma, though the latter did at least have separate wars on each of Alpha Q's planets. | Date that the Ask Vector Prime post that describes it was posted. How convenient! |
| "Aurex something something I think" | Who knows? | The Instigation Mini-Con Team of Breez, Odd Ball, and Pow Wow come from some place and hated being second-class citizens. I guess they did some stuff there. Does it matter? Renegade Rhetoric, 10/16/2015 | Cy-Kill gives not a damn about your need to know universe names. | Who cares? |
Cymond
The continuity family for pre-Transformers lines and other miscellaneous series related to Transformers.
Repeated features include the presence of transforming metallic beings with Cybertronian body-styles but the absence of Transformers and Cybertron.
| Designation | Basis | Notable events | Other notes | Designation origin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cymond 772.0 Beta | Henshin Cyborg, Kronoform and Diakron | Vector Prime stated this universe and its offshoot, Cymond 381.0 Beta, were the linear ancestors of the earliest manifestations of the multiverse. Many archetypal Cybertronians had distant analogues from those two streams. The Hytherion originated in the Big Crunch of Cymond 772.0 Beta as a weapon unleashed by the Terminators against the Originators. Ask Vector Prime, 2015-6-15 |
Diakron and Kronoform had molds released under the Transformers branding, hence Vector Prime's comments about "distant analogues" and "the linear ancestor". | Release date of the first wave of Henshin Cyborg toys. |
| Cymond 381.0 Beta | New Microman and Micro Change | This universe and its originator, Cymond 772.0 Beta, were the linear ancestors of the earliest manifestations of the multiverse. Ask Vector Prime, 2015-6-15 | It being the "linear ancestor" refers to the fact that Micro Change was one of the main sources for the first batch of The Transformers toys. | Release date of the first wave of New Microman toys. |
| Cymond 1184.0 Gamma | Starriors comic miniseries | Vector Prime noted that Cymond 1184.0 Gamma seemed to take form at the same time as multiversal backbones Primax 984.17 Alpha and Primax 984.0 Gamma. The Wastors, Cosmittors, and Trashors were only tangentially related to Cybertronians of other streams. Ask Vector Prime, 2015-6-15 | Starriors was sold at around the same time as the original Transformers, hence the universal stream forming at the same time as the original Transformers cartoon and comic. A number of Starriors have had Transformers cameos: Steelgrave, Sawtooth, Deadeye, Bolar, Cut-Up, and Crank. |
Release date of the first issue of Starriors. |
| Cymond 290.03 Alpha | Brave Exkaiser | Vector Prime noted that many Cybertronian body forms were present in Cymond 290.03 Alpha and its offshoots. Ask Vector Prime, 2015-6-15 | The "many Cybertronian body forms" are a reference to the fact that many molds and designs from Transformers have been reused in Brave. | Initial airdate of the first episode of Brave Exkaiser. |
| Cymond 999.04 Alpha | Zoids: Chaotic Century anime | Vector Prime noted that Cymond 999.04 Alpha had body form overlap with the Malgus Cluster. It and its sister streams sprang fully formed into the multiverse between the formations of Primax 206.24 Gamma and Primax 706.05 Gamma in an "abrupt acosmogenesis event" that spread into the past and the future. Ask Vector Prime, 2015-6-15 | The "abrupt acosmogenesis event" is a reference to the merger between Takara and Tomy while the shared body form is a reference to Megadeath's alternate mode. | Initial airdate of the first episode of Zoids: Chaotic Century. |
