| In the year 2005, Optimus Prime has made a startling discovery... [[Teletraan I (G1)|Teletraan I]] has been sabotaged, and a lot of valuable [[bio]] and [[Tech Spec]] data is missing! As various Autobots panic, the call goes out to the orbiting satellite-base ''[[Nana]]'', commanded by the enigmatic "Kurohyō Man": retrieve the missing data! Kurohyō Man sends out Teletraan 15 to journey through time and space to get the missing data by researching the Transformers of various eras. Both 15 and her friend Teletraan 10 are shocked at the choice of agent.

| Teletraan 15's first study subject is Perceptor, who she catches in the act of being super-creepy to a microchip he's examining, giggling about how it's time for the chip's "checkup". Interrupted in his work, he retracts his faceplate, his tone changing from creepazoid to clinical, demanding to know who this young girl is.

| Once 15 is done recording her memo on Perceptor (and 10 provides some snark), the Autobot scientist takes 15 on a jaunt in his seldom-seen tank mode... though 15 is less than thrilled with the bumpiness of the ride.

| Having traveled to the future, Teletraan 15 is looking for her next subject, when ''Eek!'' Wheelie lifts up Teletraan 15's skirt, mesmerized by the whiteness of her panties. (No, really.) Teletraan 10 comes to her partner's rescue, delivering a strong kick to Wheelie's face. 15's memo recorded, Wheelie makes his escape in vehicle mode. 15 thanks her hero, but 10 is quick to berate and kick her careless companion.

| Wheelie's escape is cut short by the arrival of Kup and Recoil. Kup picks up Wheelie and scolds him as 15 looks on in thanks. Kup, thinking he recognizes the young female bot, suddenly gives her a huge spine-crushing hug and begins telling stories about their adventures together. Teletraan 10 comments on 15's memos, most notably on Kup's "musket laser"... she is absolutely baffled by it. How can something that fires acid be considered a laser? What the hell? As Kup recounts another [[Ick-Yak]] tale, he suddenly realizes he actually has no clue who Teletraan 15 is, and promptly drives off, leaving one very confused 15 behind.

| Traveling to [[Earth]] in the even-further future, 15 is accosted by a [[Novaroid|hideous tentacled machine]]. She is saved by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], who cuts the thing in two with his buzzsaw arm. 15 is thankful, but can't help but notice how much ''shorter'' Hot Rod is than when she last saw him. Irked, Micromaster Hot Rod accuses 15 of being the source of the [[transwarp]] wormholes that have been popping up all over the planet. When a new one erupts nearby, the Autobots decide that maybe they should take this discussion elsewhere.
