This [[Transformers]] continuity is an [[Alternate Timeline]] continuing on from ''[[The Transformers (Comic Book)|The Transformers]]'' while ignoring ''[[Transformers Generation 2]]'' and some UK-exclusive stories. The ''Classics'' continuity was first introduced in Fun Publications' ''Transformers'' fan club magazine, specifically, the comic "Crossing Over" serial (2007) which started in the magazine's thirteenth issue. The story involved [[Unicron Trilogy|Skyfall and Landquake]] arriving in a new universe and coming across another Great War. They also discover more about their origin and meet a third member of their [[Combining Mecha|group, Breakaway]]. That storyline got continued in ''[[Transformers Trans Tech]]'' and eventually ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass]]''.
Other stories under the ''[[Transformers Timelines]]'' label continue the adventures of Nightbeat & some of his friends, Megatron and the remnants of his followers, Bludgeon & ''his'' followers, Ratchet, and even introduce [[Unicron Trilogy|Mini-Cons]] and [[Challenge of the Go Bots|GoBots]] into the mix.
Line 10:
** [[Alternate Universe]]
* [[Arm Cannon]]: Megatron
* [[Combining Mecha]]: Skyfall and co. Although they don't actually ''combine'' until meeting their [[Transformers: Shattered Glass|fifth member]].
* [[Enemy Civil War]]: Bug Bite versus Megatron and later (continuing from ''[[The Transformers (Comic Book)|The Transformers]]'') Megatron versus Bludgeon.
* [[Hardboiled Detective]]: Nightbeat, [[The Watson|Siren]], their Nebulan former headmaster partners, and a couple of the Dinobots split off to form their own [[Private Detective]] agency that takes heavily after this genre.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: The plotline regarding Skyfall and Lanquake. Also, "Games of Deception" has [[Challenge of the Go Bots|Bug Bite]], and Cliffjumper eventually also ends up in ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass|Shattered Glass]]''.
* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: Characters who appear are almost ''always'' the ones who recently had toys of them released.
* [[Sapient Ship]]: "Cheap Shots" has Nightbeat being hired by Amory, a non-transforming living ship whose pilot has been kidnapped.
