Hello true believers! Wait, wrong company. Wow this is a bad start. I am so sorry. Wow, I totally forgot I had posted this way back in 2017 before things went well and truly off the rails and also before the universe ended. Well after many many years I've finished reading everything and organizing it properly.
Way back in 2005 IDW launched their own Transformers universe after acquiring the rights to make comics with them. This universe officially ran until 2019 (and one mini-series in 2020)- and it was wild, yo. So originally they just did Transformers. Later(?), IDW also got the rights to G.I. Joe and they started making those comics too. Both series were really good (Transformers was excellent) BUT both were in different universes, or at least written with that in mind. However, eventually IDW decided to get the licenses of ROM, Micronauts, M.A.S.K., Action Man, and Visionaries from Hasbro as well. Then they dumped the toybox out onto the floor and started playing with all their toys at once just like we all did as kids. It got even wilder after that for obvious reasons.
I have, to the best of my ability, tried to organize all the stories from all these properties into a coherent chronological (in-story) order. Some of the issues overlap (off hand there's an Infestation/Galvatron story crossover, Revolution stuff, and First Strike stuff- also Unicron/Optimus Prime). Some of the issues don't actually come to pass (Like Spotlight: Mirage and one issue of an ongoing where Ironhide sees the future). Some stuff doesn't make any sense until way later (like the Hearts of Steel/Infestation 2 stuff). And time is a silly stupid joke (looking at you G.I. Joe and Lost Light)
Overall though, the universe is a fun read and the Transformers stuff remains excellent and improves the quality of the other properties as well. It's a well-worthwhile read and a fun adventure to boot that I strongly recommend. Enjoy it, folks!
Some notes before we start:
*The start is before the Autobot/Decepticon war and the ending is after it, it's a REALLY epic tale.
*As mentioned earlier, G.I. Joe was never meant to be in this universe. This is an issue because the Transformers mess up earth pretty bad at one point and Joe never addresses it at the time. Also their time scale is different so just ignore anything they say about time.
*Also, you'll notice on the G.I. Joe stuff that their issues are often marked with symbols that box them in. When I was reading Joe I kept it in a separate document and was using those to mark "story packs"- that is to say, stories that were contained within those issues which could then be slotted in between an implied break in the action in the Transformers stuff. I kept them in 1. Because I'm lazy to take them out and 2. It's still a good guide
*I've left in notes after some issues as well. I used them when organizing but they are still useful (though somewhat spoiler-y)
*Sometimes issues are out of order, that's because sometimes the writers like to mess around and put things out of chronological order, I've "fixed" that.
*The Infestation/Heart of Darkness, Revolution, First Strike, and Unicron/Optimus Prime stuff is really intertwined so it's impossible to read it in exact chronological order- I've done my best when setting it up in the list though, the most recent ones I've absolutely tried to avoid spoilers while doing it. I probably did for the earlier ones as well.
