    I should know this, but unfortunately, I don't. What story elements make up the new "Movie-verse"? I know there is a prequel novel to the first movie, and a prequel novel to the second movie, and a couple of comic series, but what is the order in which all of these take place?

    Thanks.

    As far as I know (out of my head):

    ROTF Destiny: Defiance (most part)
    Movie 1 Prequel comic (first part on Cybertron)
    ROTF Destiny: Defiance (final part)
    Movie 1 Prequel Novel Ghosts Of Yesterday
    Movie 1 Prequel comic
    Movie 1/Novelization/Comic Adaption
    Reign Of Starscream
    ROTF Destiny: Alliance (first part in Mission City)
    ROTF Prequel Novel The Veiled Threat
    ROTF Destiny: Alliance
    ROTF/Novelization/Comic Adaption

    Some of these works contain contradictional information. Just so you know.

    Anyone correct me where I'm wrong.

    There's also Titan's UK Transformers comic BUT:

    a) Most of the run concentrates on an alternate movie-verse where the Decepticons won the Battle of Mission City

    b) The proper 'in-universe' strips (in the first half dozen or so issues) manage to completely contradict the Movie 1 Prequel Comic, which was serialised in the very same issues!

    Digilaut's list is the same as the one I go by. Not bad going for off the top of one's head.
