There's about 9 continuties in Transformers stories. Which one of those is 'official' it's everyone's personal choice.

Lemmesee...
1. Timeline G1 Cartoon US: Includes Seasons 1, 2, TF:TM, Season 3 and "Rebirth".
2. Timeline G1 Cartoon (Anime) Japan: Includes all of the former, plus "Scramble City", "Headmasters", "Masterforce", "Victory" and "Zone". And as far as I know, the "Zone", "Battlestars/Return of Convoy" and "Operation Combination" mangas are also part of this.
3. Timeline G1/G2 Comic US: Includes 80 regular issues plus the two four-part "TF/G. I. Loe" and "Headmasters" mini plus five issues of "G.I. Joe" plus the twelve-issue "Generation 2" series. Totally different from the cartoon.
4. Timeline G1 Comic UK: Includes all 332 UK issues which means reprints of all 80 US issues plus the "Headmasters" mini (minus the "TF/G.I. Joe" mini), a huge bunch of original UK stories, furthermore 7 or 8 annuals. Also note there's a future timeline that's based on TF:TM but is later made impossible. AND then there's the "Earthforce" stuff which appears to be adifferent timeline altogether.
5. Timeline Beast Wars/Beast Machines US. Includes three seasons of "Beast Wars" and two seasons of "Beast Machines". Originally referenced only to timeline 1 but later also to timeline 3. Seems to be based on a weird mix of both.
6?. Timeline Beast Wars Japan. Includes the US "Beast Wars" series (seasons 2 and 3 dubbed "Beast Wars Metals") and the Japanese-only "Beast Wars II" and "Beast Wars Neo" shows including the "Beast Wars Neo" movie. Reportedly based on timeline 2, so may be the same.
7. Timeline Car Robots Japan. Includes the "Car Robots" anime. Totally different from everything above.
8?. Timeline Robots in Disguise US. Includes dubbed "Car Robots" episodes, but reportedly the storyline has been changed a little.
9. Timeline G1 Comic Dreamwave. Includes the six-issue minis "Generation 1", "Generation 1 War & Peace", the new "Generation 1" ongoing and the two minis "The War Within" and "The War Within Dark Ages". Based on bits and pieces of timelines 1 and 3.
10. Timeline Armada Comic Dreamwave. Includes the "Armada" comic.
11. Timeline Armada Cartoon US. Includes the "Armada" cartoon. Totally different from the comic.
12?. Micron Legend Cartoon/Anime Japan. Diubbed version of the "Armada" cartoon, but probably changed storyline.

So yes, we have at least nine, possibly up to twelve different timelines...
