Synopsis

Departure

Engaged in a battle againse a fleet of Nightbirds, Daniel Witwicky and Wheelie are killed. This sent Daniel's friend Arcee into a sad state. Rodimus and Springer talk about becoming Maximals.

The Wreckers, Mutants and Dinobots arrive on Cybertron and are sent on missions by the Oracle. Arcee, Dillo, Mol, Rav, Skywarp, Cyclonus, Rotorbolt and Devcon join the Wreckers.

Primeval Dawn, Part 1

On prehistoric Earth just after the Maximals left at the end of the Beast Wars, The Vok return. They recreate Airazor and Tigatron as Transmetals, and then use the Matrix from Optimus Prime, the Transmetal 2 Driver, and the control suit to create Primal Prime. Tarantulas and Ravage have both been revived from the dead and are making a new army of Predacons.

Errors

• When the Oracle is first addressing the crowd, all the text in the speech bubble ("It will soon be...") is repeated in the next bubble.

Items of note

• The main story takes place on Cybertron during Beast Machines, while Primeval Dawn is set on prehistoric Earth, after Beast Wars.
• The shuttle that the Autobots, minus Daniel and Wheelie, use to escape the horde of Nightbirds is actually Sky Garry from the Battlestars series.
