TRANSFORMERS
DARK STORM RISING TIMELINE
PRE-OPTIMUS
PRIME
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Events and
times may not coincide with other authors' timelines as each
writer has their own universe. This timeline is designed for the
purposes of the DSR epic. Time and event discrepancies will be
explained.
Because the timeline is
so extensive, it was necessary to break it up into 3 segments.
The first segment is pre-Optimus Prime. The second segment is
Pre-Earthen and the third is Post-Earthen.
