Well, if he did witness the birth of Christ, it'd be DEC 25, 0000 as seen in the first movie. It appears the LAST TIME DEPARTED display is blank. It could be probable that Doc Brown didn't want Marty to get distracted by the display, so he programmed to leave it blank on its arrival to 1986.
I think the fact that this DeLorean has both the Mr. Fusion AND the OUTTATIME license plate makes this one "unique" in a way. When the DeLorean time machine had the Mr. Fusion in the trilogy, it had the 2015 "barcode" license plate on it.
I think the radio control option is viable, which could explain how the vehicle could get to 1986 unoccupied. Or there's some kind of automation in this one that was programmed to take it there.
Does it have flying circuits or a hover conversion? I would say that's a big possibility. Like some people have noticed, only the Doc has driven it in hover mode, and Marty probably would be more used to driving it on the ground.
Well I have a theory on how this new delorean came about:
Since Doc is in trouble with the bank, it's obvious he took out a loan to build this new delorean and failed to make payments and he has his property up for collateral.
Why would Doc make a second DeLorean in the first place?
He had the train.
And why not just sell his assets. As he didn't plan on returning.
No, I think the bank wants to liquidate his property because he is presumed to be dead.
Even his father thinks so, which is suggested by the dialog tree.
He may of had the train but he may have deemed it too impractical chugging (no pun intended) a 65 ft flying time machine all around.
Realistically speaking a bank only has a right to sell off Doc's stuff if it's up for collateral for a loan he owes. They can't sell off his stuff just cause he hasn't been home for 6 months. He owns it.
It says he only has been gone for a few months and if he hasn't made payments the bank repossesses his property and sells it.
You know, Doc probably DID take out a loan. But it would've been prior to BTTF1. Remember one key line early on: "This is what makes time travel possible. The flux capacitor. It's taken thirty years and my entire family fortune to realize the vision of that day." He wouldn't have had much money left, so it's not out of the question for him to have taken out a loan that he probably had every intention of repaying. But with all that happened with the time machine, repaying a loan probably dropped from his priorities, and when he was stuck in 1885, he probably didn't even think about it anymore. So, six months overdue on his payment, Doc is missing, the bank forecloses on his property.
And about the train, it's too big for all the time traveling that Doc would've done. You can hide a DeLorean. Hiding a huge train that also makes a huge sonic boom as it arrives from temporal displacement is a logistical nightmare.

I don't buy this. Since it certainly didn't stop him from doing some time traveling back and forth. Also, with the DeLorean he couldn't take his whole family with him.

Only if he wanted to make two or three goes to take all the family with him. DeLoreans are two-seaters and everything in the rear bulkhead only leaves room for Einstein :rolleyes:.
I'd believe the whole "taking the loan before BTTF1" deal. I see Doc sacrificing everything to get the DeLorean up and running, then he became a little more cautious after the events of the Trilogy.

Doc, Marty and Jennifer are all in the DeLorean at the end of BTTF/beginning of BTTF II. But, yeah, you couldn't fit four or more people in there.

Exactly. Doc, Clara, Einstein and either Jules or Verne would fit, but now try all of them, plus luggage. And nobody's going in the trunk; there's not even enough room for a person in there...
Who's to say the steam locomotive time machine isn't also in use? In the animated series as well as Kristen Sheeley's fanfics, a second DeLorean time machine as well as the steam locomotive were both used.
Though it's quite possible that the steam locomotive didn't really cut the mustard as well as the DeLorean did. It may have been only used for a few jumps and that was it. I mean, it was a miracle that the Doc was able to convert a 19th century old-time steam locomotive into a time machine in the first place.
I know that it has Mr Fusion on it, or what looks like it anyways. However, it has the "outtatime" plate on it, from the first movie (which falls off when Einstein time travels" ALSO, in the trailer the readout says where he is heading, what the present date is, but it doesn't have "where you were" date. It's all 00's and that.

I'm thinking that somehow, this is before bttf 1.
Just a thought.
Interesting, like Doc after knowing his time traveling experiment was success because of Marty in 1955, he decides to do a test run in 1985 and send the delorean exactly on year in the future.

Yes exactly my thoughts! We don't actually know WHEN he made the time machine do we? He said that Einstein was the FIRST time traveller. And from the looks of it, the time machine has noone in it when it arrives for Marty in 1986. So he could of sent it before the first movie and can still say Einstein was the FIRST time traveller cos he sent it to 1986 where Marty then used it. lol :S who knows it's getting all too confusing now :P
Have people even watched the movie?
He explicitely states that he sent Einstein 1 MINUTE into the future.
That's why the DeLorean catches up again with them.

Also the Doc in this game is a post-trilogy one.
I know that it catches up in 1 minute, i was just saying if it was sent a year into the future it would take a year to catch up meaning that einstein coudnt time travel 1 minute into the future in 1985.
I don't believe the writers were thinking "Ok in this scene Doc actually lies about sending einstein into the future,.. he sends him around 6 months in the future so Marty can have another adventure where he goes back to 1931 in Back to the Future 4, or maybe one of these new fangled video games"
However Im confident Einstein will have a major role in the game,.. similar to Franklin the dog in TOMI, maybe even like the Dog in Fable II.
But if he sent it a year into the future from 1985 before Einstein used it, then how could Einstein use it in 1985, if it wont be back until 1986?
Simple. In the final episode Marty returns it to Doc in 1985 that takes place in EARLIER 1985. You know they can schedule the exact date, time and all.
It's kind of a moot point because that would imply that Doc knows EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!
Also, the license plate fell off for one reason. They wanted the audience to be like Marty and think OMG, he just blew up that dog!! With a piece of "debris" left behind, that becomes rather plausible.

Better yet, he said Einstein was the first time traveler int he first movie, when in fact it is proven that they use the Delorean in 1885. So whatever reality the movie starts in, it never really goes back too.
It is funny however that the plate falls off being BEHIND the retainer. For real, it's basically impossible in a DeLorean for the plate to come off even with loose screws.

Um yea, but the carvanished into time and the plates didn't go with it. It's not like it fell off, and do notice the spin.
*sigh* Yet again, the only way the plate staying behind makes sense is what I said. The Bobs wanted the audience to think like Marty for a moment. The "OMG, did he just blow up his dog?!" kind of reaction.

Nahh, he went back in time to see what really killed the dinosaurs. :P

I find it difficult to believe Doc would return to 1985 to make a loan without visiting Marty.
I dunno but just looking at the beginning of the trailer....it doesn't feel as if that is all happening because Doc made a sudden loan.
I think TellTale wrote that to convey the fact that Marty feels as if Doc is slowly disappearing from his life and he can't do anything about it.
And about the train, it's too big for all the time traveling that Doc would've done. You can hide a DeLorean. Hiding a huge train that also makes a huge sonic boom as it arrives from temporal displacement is a logistical nightmare.

That only worked cause MJF is a rather small guy.
And I dunno why they'd forgo the train, maybe Doc wanted them to stay safely behind? Time travel is inherently risky, after all.
Exactly. Doc, Clara, Einstein and either Jules or Verne would fit, but now try all of them, plus luggage. And nobody's going in the trunk; there's not even enough room for a person in there...

Lol....never made clear. The DeLorean just travels through time and between the trails of fire there's one stray plate spinning.
