I gave the comics a read through in the order we thought they should go. I took some notes of notable events. They are not complete and there may be errors since I could not read my writing. But I think these are right. There seems to be errors concerning Wheelie, the Insecticons orgins, Soundwaves place in time and Reflector. I noted these.
Megatron Orgins—(Bumber Dies), Sentinel Prime mentioned, Sentinel or Zeta prime dies, Swindle already swindling.
Spotlight Blurr—Kup in “normal” looking as he will appear in AHM,
Spotlight Shockwave—Plants energon on Earth and other planets. Will lead to his disappearance and Bludgeons orders to clear the lab. Disappearance of the Dynobots.
Spotlight Soundwave*-- Confusing tale because arrives after Shockwave, By 1984 he is a tape player but ravage and Laserbeak are separated. Gets blown up in the volcano but appears somehow in 2007 in a thrift store? Introduction to Skywatch.
Spotlight Ultra Magnus-- 1st appearance of Scorponik, Zarak, and nebulous. Zarak Dies? Replaced by human Dante.
Spotlight Sixshot-- Missing
Spotlight HotRod—Dealer/Doubledealer. Hotrod’s mission is the orb (not correct name) story continues in Double dealer.
Stormbringer, Nightbeat and Infiltration are could be occurring at the same time.
Stormbringer— Intro to Thunderwing, End of nebulous. Intro to Ark 27. Technobot team introduced.
Spotlight Nightbeat—Intro to the portal continued in Hardhead. Mircomasters made from organics? Given head implant. Meets ark 32. Prowls message to Prime for infiltration issue 6 is received.
Infiltration— intro humans, Starscream finds Shockwaves energon. Intro Ark 19.
Spotlight Kup—Oddly built and left in serious condition possible brain injury.
Spotlight Ramjet()—Takes place within the time frame of Megatron and Primes fight in Infiltration.
Escalation—Dinobots and Shockwave found. Laserbeak and Ravage awakened by humans. Ark 32 arrives with Hotrod. Jetfire finds evidence of _____________Sunstreaker lost. Headmaster arise.
Spotlight Galvatron*--Ark one is Bezulie Expanse with Nova Prime/Nemeses Prime, Galvatron, Cyclonus, Jhiaxus all have gone made. Other side of Nightbeat’s portal found.
Spotlight Prime*--Kup is in repairs, Wheelie is shown.(how does this effect his spotlight?) First Gestalt appears in the form of Crazy Monstructor.
Spotlight Blaster*-- Kup appears in Thunderwings first fight Beachcomber is controlled by soundwave Who should be lost on Earth and Bombshell who isn’t created until AHM. ???
Spotlight Arcee*-- Hunting for Jhiaxus because he made her think she and her instead of he. Or some nonsense. She is insane. Story is set on Garrus –9 penal institute. Return of Monstructor who is stolen. Gestalt tech received by Baniztron. Combaticons are seen.
Devastation-- Night beat sets up for hardhead spotlight. Dealer plants seeds of idea to Hotrod to lead to Dealers spotlight. Autobots leave for Garrus-9 Hotrod stays on earth to find Sunstreaker and Ironhide.
Spotlight Grimlock*--
Spotlight Cyclonus—Part one of Revelation story. Intro Ark 12 Confirmation on Nova=Nemesis.
Spotlight Hardhead –he and nightbeat return to the portal. Nightbeat dies. Mircormasters go back to their old forms and Hardhead stuck or dead in portal.
Spotlight DoubleDealer –Hot rod learns the truth of Dealer finds orb and suddenly the autobots know tons of information. (plot hole)
Spotlight Sideswipe—Verity and Jimmy are revived by Ratchet but never seen or heard from.
Spotlight Mirage()—WHAT???
Maximum Dinobots—Story seems to want to complete the –ation stories and give set up to AHM. But both stories are confusing since the are printed at the same time.
AHM—Creation of Insecticons. (The same bombshell from Blaster?) Hawke GI-Joe ? Megatron figured out gestalt tech with the introduction of Newcomers to earth the constructicons. Sunstreaker no longer a headmaster? Hunter? Trion is a ship. Megatron has matrix, Kup is back but smokes a cigar, does not seemed to be revered as much as Springer made him seem in spotlight on kup.
Spotlight Wheelie*-- Reflector is dead but is seen with AHM. Something is not right. Quintison picture?
* Indicates that the events in the comic take place in various times, however the placement is based upon the main book not flashbacks.
example: Spotlight prime has Flashbacks to events occurring prior to Megatron: Origins, but the main story is set between Escalation and Devastation.
() Indicates not 100% sure of placement, may also be out of continuity.
