In prehistoric times on Earth, Razorbeast, Prowl, and Wolfang consider their place on Earth, fighting Ravage, unsure if there's any chance of rescue. Elsewhere, Grimlock gets into a battle with Retrax and Manterror, but the fight is just a diversion to draw Grimlock away from Razorbeast's Maximal base. Retrax detonates some explosives that signal the start to a large battle between the two armies. In another location, the Blendtrons have unleashed Angolmois energy and Shokaract lives. But unknown to Shokaract, he is but a pawn to bring about the return of Unicron!
