In BW, the fact that the Ark crashed on Earth 4 million years ago was pretty central to season 3. In the IDW books, that never happened, and the Autobots and Decepticons were never on Earth before, other than apparently isolated incidents. So how can BW fit into the IDW-verse?

BW doesn't mesh "perfectly" with any of the previously established continuities. But you can connect them all if you're willing to retcon a couple of things.
You can possibly reason that a unseen G1 happend prior to BW.

Yeah but the BW Cartoon revealed specifically who were on the Ark (Prime and Megatron for instance) which would not really run concurrent with IDWs G1. However I see no reason why they could not find a way to make it happen, these could be from an alternate reality, future version of of Megs and Prime or whatever that could be explained in IDW G1 at a later point. Hell they're using fuzzy science to make what's happening in IDW Beast Wars possible already!
