(Created page with "The '''"robot universe"''' is the name given<ref>By the Doctor in {{Marvel|Incomplete_Death's_Head_Vol_1_12|''The Incomplete Death's Head'' issue 12.}}</ref> to the reality dominated by the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. It is also home to the superhero Spider-Man, the international peacekeeping team Action Force, and just about any robot or somebody in an iron suit. ==Timeline== {{Note| Unless...") |

The official stance is that ''The Transformers'' is not canon to the {{Marvel|Earth-616|mainstream universe of Marvel Comics.}} However, the series' events take place in ''some'' kind of Marvel universe, due to the appearances of [[Spider-Man]], {{TF|Nicholas_Fury|Nick Fury,}} {{TF|Dazzler|Dazzler,}} {{TF|U.S._1|U.S. 1,}} the {{TF|Savage_Land|Savage Land,}} and others. As a result, Marvel considers the universe of ''Transformers'' U.S. to be {{Marvel|Earth-91274|Earth-91274}}, and the universe of the UK version to be {{Marvel|Earth-120185|Earth-120185.}}
This, however, isn't fun, and the stance of {{SITENAME}} is to take in-story events and crossover character cameos at face value, building up a shared universe in the style of the [[w:Tommy Westphall|Tommy Westphall hypothesis]] (and flying in the face of [[w:Dwayne McDuffie|Dwayne McDuffie]]'s original intent when coming up with it).
*The ''Transformers'' story {{TF|Prisoner_of_War!|"Prisoner of War!"}} prominently features Spider-Man, as well as [[Robbie Robertson]] and the ''[[Daily Bugle]]''.
**Spider-Man fought [[Iron Man 2020]] in "[[Man of the Year]]", while namedropping [[Iron Man]] and [[Captain America]].
***Iron Man and Captain America appeared in ''[[Matt and the Cat]]''.
***Iron Man 2020 fought [[Machine Man]] in "[[Rime of the Ancient Wrecker!]]"
**''Transformers'' crossed over with ''[[Action Force (comic)|Action Force]]'' in {{TF|Ancient_Relics!|"Ancient Relics!"}}.
*Spider-Man appeared in a number of ''[[Combat Colin (comic)|Combat Colin]]'' strips. Colin also prominently fought [[Doctor Doom]], and once met the Autobot [[Blaster]].
**[[King Nonose]] and [[the Robot Inventor]] of ''[[Robo-Capers]]'' once tussled with Colin.
**Colin and Steve also fought the [[Gwanzulum]]s, which cropped up to trouble [[the Doctor]], the [[ThunderCats]], and [[the Real Ghostbusters]].
*''Transformers'' also gave the world [[Death's Head]], meaning that some or all [[Death's Head (comics)|''Death's Head'' comics]] are in some way canonical.
