The Transformers IDWverse - A Chronology
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2015 9:06 am
This still is, and probably always will be, a work in progress, but it makes it much easier to have it here open to discussion rather than me posting and reposting whenever someone else asks!
In addition to the list here, also check out the fully updated comics database right here on Seibertron.com, thanks to the hard work of ScottyP!
Hat tip to the original poster, now lost, on the IDW discussion boards, whose template I have reused to build upon for the full list.
