I get that he created different timelines by changing the past, and that it didn't affect his timeline, but how did he go from the new timeline that he had created by meddling in the past, back to his original, unaltered timeline? Wouldn't he have gone to the future of the new timeline? It seems unlikely that he would be able to jump from one version of the past into another version of the future (present?). Is this ever explained and I just missed it?

Basically if we say our timeline is 1 and Trunk's is 2 then Trunks could just return back to his own timeline, thats how the machine works i guess. Edited by Majin Vegeta, Oct 24 2014, 11:50 AM.

Sure, if he was going to different dimensions, instead of different times, it would work, but that would mean that when he showed up again when the Androids appeared, then he wouldn't be in the same timeline he originally went back to in order to warn them, and that another version of himself had come to their past in order to warn them, because if he could traverse time and dimensions, then he could have gone to his own past, warned them, saved Goku, told them to tell him to go back in time and tell them the exact story he did, and then, the only thing that would change in his time (aside from everyone being alive) would be his reason for going back, making a perfect loop in which the timeline could actually continue. His memories would change, and he would end up being a completely different type of person, but he could still take lessons from them on how his old self acted for the small amount of time he would have had to be there, and everything would have worked out fine.

Same materials could be found in other timelines similar to his own however, dont you think? As for Topic, like i said, the time machine could travel timelines and then after getting to the one he want, he gets at the age and time he desires to be. For example: Future Timeline- 4 Age 720 Present Timeline- 5 Age 700 Trunks could travel to timeline 5 and then set his machine back to Age 20 of the present timeline. Lol thats the best i can come up with

The point is that these specific materials hail from this specific timeline, so Trunks's time machine should have a connection to that timeline.

If he could alter one timeline, and then go to the future of said timeline that he had altered, what would keep him from gong to his own past, and alerting his own timeline? It would keep from creating so many other timelines, and everyone would be fine in the one and only timeline (as far as Trunks is concerned).

I think i remember Bulma mentioning she wanted a timeline to be different than their own, so i guess that explains it.

The future that his other counter part came from, where he was killed by Cell

He already travelled to another timeline(the present one) so it makes sesne he could travel to others as well.
