Lego Time Travels

Time Cruisers and Time Twisters compose the Lego System Time Travel theme. The plot revolves around the Professor's ongoing effort to stop the Time Twisters from interfering with the past. Both sides rely on devices called Hypno-Disks, standard umbrella-style Lego disks marked with a spiral, which were mounted using Technic in such a way as to revolve on the vehicle or base. The Time Cruisers, the Professor and his apprentice Tim, direct their vehicles to the intended destinations by the use of special hats. Presumably, donning a hat from a certain time period would guide the machine to such a place. The Time Twisters use a clear cylinder filled with artifacts from the different eras to foster their transport. While the plot specified by Lego involves activities taking place in the past, the set of hats offered in the Hypno Cruiser includes an alien helmet, indicating that future travel is possible.
