In 1985, {{storylink|The Transformers issue 21/The Chromobots|''The Chromobots'' issue 21}} the life of young comics reader [[Dudley]] was turned upside down by the arrival of the [[Chromobot]]s, {{storylink|The Transformers issue 12/The Chromobots|Issue 12}} {{storylink|The Transformers issue 13/The Chromobots|Issue 13}} a team of interstellar policemen tracking down an escaped criminal by the name of Predator. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 16/The Chromobots|Issue 16}} Two weeks after Dudley's first meeting with [[Mikros]] and [[Transmute]], the trio encountered Predator in the process of kidnapping nuclear arms designer [[Tessa Stone]], with the plan of using her knowledge to destroy the Chromobots' home planet, [[Chromos Five]]. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 17/The Chromobots|Issue 17}} {{storylink|The Transformers issue 18/The Chromobots|Issue 18}} After a late night tip-off from the [[Chromatic Star Federation]], {{storylink|The Transformers issue 21/The Chromobots|Issue 21}} the third member of the squad, [[Shield]], took Dudley, Transmute, and Mikros out to the countryside, a location where Predator's distinct teleportation pattern had been detected. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 22/The Chromobots|Issue 22}} There, they fell through a time shift to the year [[#2535|2535]], where Earth was an apocalyptic wasteland. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 23/The Chromobots|Issue 23}} This timeline was prevented by Dudley's theft of Predator's [[time modulator]] and subsequent return to 1985, where Shield destroyed it. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 26/The Chromobots|Issue 26}}
On Saturday '''September 12''', 1985, the ''Bugle''{{'}}s headline news story was "GIANT ROBOTS ON RAMPAGE! Invasion from Space". By this point, the press was speculating that the Transformers were an alien invasion, or controlled by a foreign power. {{tfstorylink|The_Icarus_Theory|The Icarus Theory}} (By early 1986, {{TF|Intelligence_and_Information_Institute|Triple-I's}} {{TF|Walter_Barnett_(G1)|Walter Barnett}} would run the cover story that the Transformers were all controlled by Robot-Master, a supervillain played by [[Marvel Comics#In fiction|Marvel Comics]]' {{TF|Donny_Finkleberg|Donny Finkleberg.}} {{tfstorylink|I,_Robot-Master!|I, Robot-Master!}})

====2535====
After kidnapping [[Tessa Stone]] in [[#1985|1985]], the rogue [[Chromobot]] [[Predator]] teleported to the future using his [[time modulator]]. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 19/The Chromobots|''The Chromobots'' issue 19}} Predator used her knowledge to create a weapon that hybridised Chromatic technology and nuclear weaponry. By the year 2535, he had successfully destroyed [[Chromos Five]] and eliminated all life on Earth, starting again with his loyal [[Mutant]]s. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 25/The Chromobots|Issue 25}} {{storylink|The Transformers issue 24/The Chromobots|Issue 24}} He used Tessa as bait {{storylink|The Transformers issue 23/The Chromobots|Issue 23}} to lure the Chromobots (and their human ally [[Dudley]]) to the nuclear wasteland. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 22/The Chromobots|Issue 22}}
The Chromobots were confronted by the Mutants, who were expecting them based on Predator's predictions. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 24/The Chromobots|Issue 24}} Predator himself arrived to brag about what he'd achieved with the time modulator. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 25/The Chromobots|Issue 25}} Dudley snatched the device from Predator, and he and the Chromobots returned to 1985. [[Shield]] destroyed the modulator, causing Predator's timeline to fold in on itself, erasing the Chromatic criminal and his achievements from existence and allowing future history to run its unaltered course. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 26/The Chromobots|Issue 26}}
