Given that the next story is set on the 4th July, I think we have to ignore the date on Hot Rod's time machine, especially given the line about "late summer air" in Part 1. Also we know this story only takes place over the course of around five days, thanks to Ultra Magnus' ticking clock.

Thanks for the namecheck! I'd not noticed the significance of that date but I guess these things often only leap out when looked at in the original context. Though I've long felt the main problem with the next few stories is the close proximity of July 4th and Christmas. On the occasions I've tried to pull together a chronology of the series I just felt specific given dates were more of a problem than a solution. Without delving into the clash of cultural and astronomical definitions of summer, perhaps Galvatron's time jump has confused local weather conditions for longer than just the arrival?

With regards to Marvel dating headaches, I find the biggest problem is Buster's age. One of the US comics (I forget which issue, but it's part of the story arc where he's trapped on the Decepticon island spaceship) gives his age as 17, which counting backwards makes him 13 in 1984, which obviously can't be right. Most of the dates in the comic sort-of work, but that one line about Buster's age is the only thing that's really impossible to reconcile, IIRC.

Aie, showing your age with that title, Stuart. How I hated that little girl.

I think a lot of us did but wasn't that the point of the adverts? (I haven't seen one in years.)

Indeed, a very merry Christmas to all of you at home! Except Nick for making me feel old. I'll say more in my Battle Beneath the Ice/year wrap up piece, but all the musings and ramblings in the comments are always very much appreciated.
