	With no means to get back to 2006, Galvatron stayed on [[Earth]], planning his grand comeback. He was contacted in [[1988]] by [[Scourge (G1)\|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)\|Cyclonus]], [[The Legacy of Unicron!\|both now stuck in the past too]], and arranged to meet them in some city in [[Oregon]]. But while Galvatron thought the two wanted to serve him once again, Scourge and Cyclonus were actually after the trigger device they knew he had, so that they could return to [[2008]] and rule [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]. Galvatron was amused when he learned of this, challenging them to fight him for the trigger device rather than telling them he no longer had it. The arrival of the [[~~Wrecker~~]]s worsened the situation considerably, until Galvatron taunted them with their terrible timing, mentioning the other two Decepticons were after a trigger device they did not know no longer existed. This gave [[Springer (G1)\|Springer]] an idea, and he faked having stolen the trigger device from Galvatron to get Scourge and Cyclonus after him, away from the city and its people. The two caught up with him just outside the city, beating him unconscious only to discover he never had the trigger device. Upon the arrival of the other Autobots, they fled. {{storylink\|Wrecking Havoc}}		With no means to get back to 2006, Galvatron stayed on [[Earth]], planning his grand comeback.

	Eventually, Galvatron's long stay in the past and Cyclonus's and Scourge's [[Mass substitution\|unbalanced]] stay caused a time rift in [[1989]], which destroyed [[Quintessa (planet)\|Quintessa]] and was about to do the same to Cybertron and Earth. Many parties got involved in the events around this threat, some too from the future. When the ordeal had been brought to an end, the future-original parties used trigger devices to get back to their home time. Before Rodimus Prime's party went though, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Optimus Prime]] advised them to have all the time-jump devices destroyed to ensure a near-disaster like this would never happen again. {{storylink\|Time Wars}}		Eventually, Galvatron's long stay in the past and Cyclonus's and Scourge's [[Mass substitution\|unbalanced]] stay caused a time rift in [[1989]], which destroyed [[Quintessa (planet)\|Quintessa]] and was about to do the same to Cybertron and Earth.

While all the other Autobots would distract Galvatron, Wreck-Gar would steal his trigger device and use its and the Autobots' trigger device's parts to make a new, stronger instrument that would send them all back at once.

	With no means to get back to 2006, Galvatron stayed on [[Earth]], planning his grand comeback. He was contacted in [[1988]] by [[Scourge (G1)\|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)\|Cyclonus]], [[The Legacy of Unicron!\|both now stuck in the past too]], and arranged to meet them in some city in [[Oregon]]. But while Galvatron thought the two wanted to serve him once again, Scourge and Cyclonus were actually after the trigger device they knew he had, so that they could return to [[2008]] and rule [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]. Galvatron was amused when he learned of this, challenging them to fight him for the trigger device rather than telling them he no longer had it. The arrival of the [[~~Wrecker~~]]s worsened the situation considerably, until Galvatron taunted them with their terrible timing, mentioning the other two Decepticons were after a trigger device they did not know no longer existed. This gave [[Springer (G1)\|Springer]] an idea, and he faked having stolen the trigger device from Galvatron to get Scourge and Cyclonus after him, away from the city and its people. The two caught up with him just outside the city, beating him unconscious only to discover he never had the trigger device. Upon the arrival of the other Autobots, they fled. {{storylink\|Wrecking Havoc}}		With no means to get back to 2006, Galvatron stayed on [[Earth]], planning his grand comeback.

	Eventually, Galvatron's long stay in the past and Cyclonus's and Scourge's [[Mass substitution\|unbalanced]] stay caused a time rift in [[1989]], which destroyed [[Quintessa (planet)\|Quintessa]] and was about to do the same to Cybertron and Earth. Many parties got involved in the events around this threat, some too from the future. When the ordeal had been brought to an end, the future-original parties used trigger devices to get back to their home time. Before Rodimus Prime's party went though, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Optimus Prime]] advised them to have all the time-jump devices destroyed to ensure a near-disaster like this would never happen again. {{storylink\|Time Wars}}		Eventually, Galvatron's long stay in the past and Cyclonus's and Scourge's [[Mass substitution\|unbalanced]] stay caused a time rift in [[1989]], which destroyed [[Quintessa (planet)\|Quintessa]] and was about to do the same to Cybertron and Earth.

	'''Time-jump trigger devices''', also called '''time control triggers''' and '''time-jump trigger mechanisms''', are portable instruments with which people can summon a [[Time-jump mechanism\|time portal]] to the past and back to their present. A time-jump trigger device takes its operator and all standing close to them to the chosen past, but if used for the return trip, it only takes those along who are both close by and came from the future. A sort of upgraded version was made once, simply called an '''over-ride mechanism''', which was capable of returning everyone to the future regardless of their distance from the device.
