	Temporal anomalies have been causing time to seem to stretch and shrink across [[Detroit]]. Some people are even blaming the Autobots for it. On your way home from school, you are almost trampled by a stampede of humans and robots fleeing from something and investigate to discover they were running from a ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. As you start to back away from it, a nearby SWAT vehicle transforms into [[Bulkhead (Animated)\|Bulkhead]], who throws a taxi at the beast. As it vanishes, Bulkhead traces the temporal energy to the newly-built [[Lions Tower]] in the middle of Detroit. You and Bulkhead arrive at the empty building to encounter [[Bumblebee (Animated)\|Bumblebee]]. Breaking and entering ensues, and on the top floor of the building you find a strange machine. As you lift one of the metal balls from the machine, white mist surrounds you...		Temporal anomalies have been causing time to seem to stretch and shrink across [[Detroit]].

	This time you find yourselves on a sidewalk in [[New York City]], in the early 21st century when people were still using fossil fuels as an energy source. The pollution prevents Bulkhead from getting a reading on the second missing control sphere, but a short time later he saves a teenage girl from being run over by a bus.

	Back in the 22nd century, you find Prowl, who says you've been gone for days. The Autobots have discovered the time machine's owner is a chrononaut from the far future, who's being held prisoner by the Decepticon [[Wavelength]] in a river-side restaurant. Wavelength's electrical powers are holding the Autobots at bay. Your rubber-soled shoes make you immune, allowing you to sneak in via the fire escape and trip the sprinkler system, which shorts out Wavelength. The time traveler [[Aron Three Five]], thanks you for saving him and uses his time machine to return to the 51th century.
