Operation: Distant Thunder

Operation: Distant Thunder was an operation settled in Dinobot Island to restore the timeline, which had been altered by Ravage, by sending a drone back through time to a point prior to Ravage's tinkering, with instruction's to alert the Autobots in that timeline to Ravage's plot. Though successful, it would have destroyed the sender's dimension if not for the intervention of a strange visitor coming from a mysterious time warp, who claimed that the timeline must be preserved to ensure its participants ascend to their destinies as a force of interdimensional preservers. He therefore established the Binaltech universe as a distinct dimension, completely separate from the original timeline.
