Seeing Emperor kriffing Palpatine in another room, out of the corner of his photoreceptor, in the garage Roger is scavenging through causes the double take of all double takes, and he very quickly hides to make sure the Emperor doesn't see him.
Of course, he knew from other worlds that people could be pulled into Revan from across time, but that the first person familiar to him would be the Emperor, is incredible and terrifying beyond belief. He does figure out though, given that Palpatine is not yet pale and scarred, that this isn't Emperor Palpatine but Chancellor Palpatine.
R0-GR himself is a simple B1 Battle Droid, but the moon warps have transformed him into a four-armed, four-legged spider robot. The original design is still evident, but one would think that he's been fully modified into some other type of droid completely.
He figures that if Palpatine figures out that he has knowledge of the future, he'll consider Roger a threat. He knows he's mentioned the Empire, the First Order, a few times in conversation, so that's only a matter of time. But he also knows that Palpatine is extraordinarily powerful with or without the entire Republic or Empire at his back.
So he decides, quickly, to try to make a plan and act so that Palpatine never finds that out. Charging into the room with a rifle he salvaged from the Raiders, he aims it at Palpatine, shouting through his terror with as much feigned confidence as he can muster, "Chancellor Palpatine, in the name of the Separatist Alliance, you're under arrest!" The droid's voice catches before many of the words, hoping that Palpatine will decide that shooting him with lightning isn't worth being caught as a Sith.
