#I've gotten easier timeline answers out of the fucking g1 continuity ffs
Text
So, what I've gathered as far as ages (most of this is from the tfwiki descriptions on the characters, closest I've ever gotten to reading the aligned novels, and let's be real some of this might be from things that are technically aligned continuity but technically not??)
Megatron's firmly stated by the tfwiki as having been created during the age of wrath. (It's also noted explicitly that he wasn't created with a set name or personality, which tells us a bunch of the others did) Also, fun fact, the altmode we see in the show isn't really a Cybertronian jet but a shuttle built for space travel. I will proceed to use Megatron as our reference because there's more ambiguity with other characters and also he's my more favorite
The tfwiki having a sentence that Could imply Orion was born before the age of Wrath but he could not have been as well (gonna entirely not mention the Optimus to Orion to Optimus reincarnation thing right now) with him having spent an indeterminate amount of time in the while.
Soundwave was created before or during the age of wrath and the tfwiki states this outright, with it possibly placing him as older than Megatron. He was apparently originally part of Sentinel Prime's council?
Shockwave is placed at a very similar creation time range as Soundwave. Dude spent a lot of time being a cryptid on Cybertron after the whole overthrowing the Quintessons stuff.
The tfwiki is super unhelpful with trying to find around when Starscream was created, or even who he was before the war.
Bumblebee is very much outlined as Cybertron's last generation during the war (and obviously before the Well was revived post-tfp) now I've got a particular headthing where i call all mecha born during the war "Warlings" as a combo of war-sparklings, but that is just me being special decial. Ohhh he was Very adopted by autobot high command
Ratchet is firmly placed as having been born before the age of wrath, is older than Iacon definitely. Beyond that, most of his stuff is mentioned about his actions during the invasion and rebellion against the Quintessons.
Arcee was spying in Kaon before the war, and that's all we got.
Hmm, while we have nothing on Breakdown before the war, i did find something useful. Aligned Breakdown used to be far more similar to the nervous g1 Breakdown we know as a scout. His first interaction with Bulkhead and subsequent major upgrade seens to have dispelled most of it
Segueing to Bulkhead, we know he had a blue collar job and that's it. Great.
Knockout, nothing.
For Wheeljack, we actually got something again! The tfwiki states he was created during the Age of Origins (which... doesn't have a page) which is stated as when transformer civilization started to rise? Wow that's pretty old? Apparently the Wreckers are older than the Autobots, having started as a vigilante group. We might be able to use Wheeljack's age to determine Bulkhead's, and both may very well be as old as Ratchet or older. Hmm.
Ultra Magnus, who is especially old as hell goddamn, was created before or during the age of origins.
Jazz is, you guessed it, before or during the age of wrath. Great. He was an Iacon cultural investigator, apparently.
Ironhide (is this when you realize the wfc games are technically for the aligned continuity yet?) Was created during or before the golden age, which is actually fairly younger than anticipated.
Smokescreen is noted to having been an elite guard cadet at the end of the war (well... the end of the war while on Cybertron) where he got knocked into stasis to be a key container like immediately.
Predaking as we know is a clone so we cannot play by the same rules as the above, and we don't know how long Shockwave was working on him for before popping him to Earth
Darksteek and Skylynx on the other hand we know exactly when they were created as it was the spave between the tfp finale and the epilogue
There are two Sideswipes. I will dub these Sideswipe senior and Sideswipe junior. Sideswipe senior's creation and actions before the war are unknown. Sideswipe junior, also unknown but considering how he was called a teenager in the rid15 pilot, I'm going to assume he was created somewhere near the end of the war or after the war.
Strongarm is a similar situation as Sideswipe junior, and honestly I'm gonna put the RBA kids in a similar category, at the end of the war or directly after.
Oh honey I'm not going through all the RID15 Decepticons as we definitely aren't going to get any timeline answers there.
Hm... the Rescue bots yet again pose questions by defying the rules of the aligned continuity, the tfwiki suggesting they were straight up protoforms upon arriving to earth (which defies what we know that protoforms in the aligned continuity aren't exactly able to be up and walking, and there's the reference that Blades had wheels when he was on Cybertron...) who the fuck knows though, they could've been frozen for Fuck All Knows (at least I've got an Idea when Blurr and Salvage were frozen being the paleolithic-neolithic boundary, thank you Ira lol)
