In 2005, when Fun Publications took over the official ''[[
Storywise, the ''Timelines'' storylines are separate from each other, although the events of different stories ''do'' influence each other (sometimes [[Intercontinuity Crossover|across different continuities]]). Also, the stories are not even all in the same ''medium''. Instead, the storylines are all told via serial installments spanning multiple mediums--mainly [[Comic Books]] and [[Web Original]] [[Short Story|short prose stories]]--which are available for members at [http://www.transformersclub.com the official fan club website].

=== Fun Publications ''Transformers'' fiction involves these continuities/universes that originated in previous fiction: ===
* The ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]'' continuity
* The [[Unicron Trilogy]] (at least the ''[[Transformers Cybertron]]'' portion)
* The ''[[
* The ''[[Challenge of the Go Bots]]'' universe (no, really)
* The ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' continuity

=== Continuities/universes original to the fanclub have also been introduced: ===
* ''[[Transformers Classics]]'', a [[Alternate Timeline|splinter timeline]] that ignores ''[[Transformers Generation 2]]'' to continue the US version of ''[[The Transformers (
* ''[[Transformers:
* ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass]]'', a universe where [[Mirror Universe|the Autobots are evil and the Decepticons are heroic]].
* ''[[Transformers: Wings of Honor]]'', a continuity similar to the original ''[[The Transformers (
{{franchisetropes}}
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: A lot of them, as shown above.
** [[Alternate Universe]]
*** [[The Multiverse]]: Might not contain as many universes as the quote on top of the page suggests. Unicron has been stated to have been destroyed at least 20% of it.
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Class X-2. The [[Transformers Cybertron|Unicron Singularity]] threatened to destroy the [[Unicron Trilogy]] Universe and possibly the entire ''[[Transformers]]'' multiverse. According to the TransTechs, destruction of universes happen ''a lot''. The {{spoiler|[[Challenge of the Go Bots]] universe}} (seriously) apparently is also under this threat.
* [[Arm Cannon]]: Landquake has one on each arm. [[Transformers Classics|Classicsverse]] Megatron has a large one. Megatron of ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass|Shattered Glass]]'' carries around a ''tank'' on his arm.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: ''Shattered Glass'' Optimus Prime and ''TransTech'' Megatron.
* [[Badass Crew]]: The Elite Guard, which shows up in ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass|Shattered Glass]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Wings of Honor|Wings Of Honor]]'', albeit in two very different forms.
* [[Beard of Evil]]: There's Unicron and ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass|Shattered Glass]]'' Rodimus {{spoiler|and Alpha Trion}}. Also ''[[Transformers: Wings of Honor|Wings of Honor]]'' Scourge.
* [[Big Bad]]: Different stories and continuities have different ones. Some are from earlier series, including Unicron, [[
* [[Combining Mecha]]: Skyfall, Landquake, Breakaway, Topspin, and Heatwave although {{spoiler|they originally ''were'' one being}}.
* [[I Am Who?]]: From the comic of the fan club magazine: Skyfall, Landquake, Breakaway, Topspin, and Heatwave turn out to be {{spoiler|parts of Nexus Prime, one of the Thirteen Original Transformers}}. This was actually revealed ''before'' Topspin and Heatwave were introduced.
* [[Guardian of the Multiverse]]: Vector Prime
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: Quite a lot. As of 2010, ''every'' subseries of the fanclub magazine has done this in some form:
** ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass|Shattered Glass]]'' had Cliffjumper from the ''[[Transformers Classics|Classics]]'' universe.
** Pretty much every story related to the [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transcendent_Technomorph TransTechs].
** {{spoiler|Nexus Prime and Aquarius}} travel from the ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass|Shattered Glass]]'' universe to briefly spend time in the present day of the ''[[Transformers: Wings of Honor|Wings Of Honor]]'' universe.
** Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus invades the Classicverse.
* [[Kent Brockman News]]: The [[Show Within a Show]] minicomic "[http://rid-nightviper.deviantart.com/gallery/ Around Cybertron]", which involves the exploits of the journalists in a news program that so far spans three different universes.
* [[MacGuffin]]: The Dark Heart of Sandokan in a ''Unicron Trilogy'' story, [[Transformers Animated|Sari's key]] in [[Transformers:
* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: Quite a bit of the fiction either was produced to promote, or sprang from said promotions for, the annual toysets made for BotCon.
* [[Prequel]]/[[Sequel]]: A lot of the ''Timelines'' fiction consists of either stand-alone stories intended to either predate or continue existing continuities, or entire new continuities that use existing continuities as branching-off points.
