The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time holds the potential to revolutionize time domain astrophysics, reaching completely unexplored areas Universe mapping variability scales from minutes a decade. To prepare maximize LSST data for exploration transient variable Universe, one four pillars science, Transient Variable Stars Science Collaboration, eight Collaborations, has identified research interest requirements, paths enable them. While our roadmap is ever-evolving, this document represents snapshot plans preparatory work in final years months leading up survey's first light.
