Turmoil and Shockwave

When in their respective timelines did Shockwave send Turmoil off to find LV-117? It looks like this issue is Turmoil's last chronological appearance before Interference Patterns, because of the eye injury. So from Turmoil's perspective this would have to be after Spotlight: Drift. From Shockwave's perspective it would have to be after LSotW #3, since that was the first time in modern history he was free to act.

But Turmoil refers to escaping Prime's "assassins" mere weeks ago, presumably referring to the Wreckers from Spotlight: Drift. (It must be a reference to the Spotlight, because the Autobots believed Turmoil dead ever since then, as referred to in Interference Patterns). That occurred sometime prior to the Surge, as seen in AHM #15. On the other hand, Shockwave was not revived on Garrus-9 by Overlord until over a year after the Surge.

So is Turmoil's reference to "weeks" merely a topical reference, or is there some other point the two could have interacted? --Xaaron 10:25, 12 October 2012 (EDT)

Prime dates Turmoil to "five years ago", which is, what, about the time of the Surge? If we're thinking in real time I guess it could be the year after the Surge, around the time Shockwave was revived. But given that this issue also implies that - as readers had theorized - Bludgeon and Monstructor had hooked up by the time of AHM #15's circa-Surge story at Shockwave's command, I think the implication is that Shockwave might actually have been manipulating events while behind bars. Or had set it all up already. OR, more time travel. I think this may become clearer as Shockwave's greater role in the story slowly unfolds. - Chris McFeely 10:51, 12 October 2012 (EDT)
