Time Window


 * The Time Window is a piece of Quintesson technology from the Generation 1 continuity family.



The Time Window was a triangular device of Quintesson design that opened a window into time... what did you think it'd do?

Extended use of the machine is very dangerous, as it unleashes chronal energy into the universe, which affects time itself. It can cause the past and the present to collide with each other, creating numerous temporal anomalies, such as regressing an adult into an infant or making two duplicates of the same individual. If the process is not reversed, then the entire universe will cease to exist. Temporal mechanics 101.

The Transformers cartoon
The Quintessons are building a Time Window on a remote asteroid with the attention of mucking up the timeline by capturing A3 before the Autobot rebellion entered full swing. The intention, of course, was to prevent the Quintessons from abandoning Cybertron to the Transformers, thus ensuring that they remained in control.
