Canon is the body of fiction that we consider to have actually happened on the Transformers Universe MUX. Overall, on the MUX we consider the 80s Transformers cartoon and the 80s Marvel G.I. Joe comic series to be canon. We occasionally bring in elements from other sources (for example, the Transformers comic and the G.I. Joe cartoon), but if there's any conflict, the primary canon is the definitive source.
Not (yet) canon. *Masters make Carrie cry.
Character Histories[]
When determining your Feature Character's IC history, non-cartoon elements from the Transformers history and non-Marvel stuff for the Joes is *optional*. If you like something from the G.I. Joe cartoon, Devil's Due or IDW comics, or from the Marvel Transformers comics, and you can work it into his or her history without violating official cartoon/Marvel or MUX-established canon, go ahead. If there is something you don't like in non-canonical fiction (ie, your character's death in non-canon material), you can ignore it, since only the TF cartoon and G.I. Joe Marvel comics history *definitely* happened.
If you have any specific questions about what is allowed or not allowed, feel free to talk to ThemeStaff, especially Bzero and Carrie.
Also not canon
Levels of Canon:[]
Primary Canon – These events are basically considered to have happened on the MUX, with slight tweaks to fix continuity errors and the like.
- The Transformers (TV series), seasons 1 & 2, 1984-1986
- G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel Comics), minus the crossover with the Transformers comic during the G2 era
- Jem (TV series), 1985-1988
Secondary Canon – These events DID NOT happen on the MUX, taking place after the continuity diverged in 1997, but are a strong source of characterization and ideas for the MUX.
- The Transformers: The Movie (1986)
- The Transformers (TV series), seasons 3 & 4, (1986-1987)
- G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (IDW Publishing)
Tertiary Canon – To fill in backstory, characterization, and details. For Transformers, we lean towards the Aligned universe, somewhat to distinguish us from another MU* that focuses on the IDW 2015 universe. For G.I. Joe, we take cues from 1983 TV series, ignoring the continuity and theme elements from the movie especially.
- War for Cybertron (2010)
- Fall of Cybertron (2012)
- Transformers: Prime
- G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (1983 TV series)
- Jem and the Holograms: IDW comics
Everything Else – We have characters from the Marvel Transformers comics, the IDW 2015 universe, the IDW Joe comics, toy-only characters, Japanese Transformers series, and everywhere else. If it’s from a Hasbro property, we can probably massage it into our theme, if it doesn’t violate primary continuity. Ask. You probably won’t make Carrie TOO angry.
