The story in that 'timeline' is very generic and doesn't specifically fit anything but it can generally apply to all.

It's basically a story that says 'Transformers are robots from Planet Cybertron who are having a civil war'.

That's pretty much every single TF franchise story to date...

Not much bridge building as it hasn't changed or enlightened us with anything .

In a way I guess that's good since the timeline is so basic that it allows for writers or developers with more creativity to make something out of it...as long as Hasbro allows them too.
