Gonna mess you up...
Majin Zarak is a vicious killing monster, feared by Maximals, Predacons and whatever else beholds his might. He feels no sympathy, he feels no remorse, he goes about killing as one would go about breathing. He thinks nothing of it. Majin Zarak’s origin is a mystery. He was created centuries ago only to vanish without a trace. Majin Zarak is an unstoppable force equated only to Armageddon; a masterpiece of war.
Fiction
Beast Wars II
When a mysterious space-time-warping device crash-landed on the Planet Gaea, the Maximals, led by Lio Convoy, and the Predacons, led by Galvatron, raced to be the first to get it. The Predacons got there first and accidentally used its power to summon the mighty Majin Zarak from Cybertron's past to aid them in battle.
...on land and sea and air!
To counter the threat of the nigh-invincible Majin Zarak, the Maximals summoned Optimus Primal from the Beast Wars of Prehistoric Earth. Majin Zarak had no trouble defeating the likes of the Maximals due to his massive size, virtual invulnerability and plethora of devastating attacks.
In the end, the Maximals discovered his weak-spot was the third eye on his forehead, which was where all his nerve-endings were clustered. Lio Convoy and Optimus Primal used the combined power of their individual Energon Matrices to transform themselves into Flash Lio Convoy and Burning Convoy. Together, they unleashed the power of their Matrices into a combined attack called the "Double Matrix Blast". The blast struck Majin Zarak in his third eye, killing him on the spot.

Notes
- Galvatron was, in fact, trying to find someone else with the time gate and only summoned Majin Zarak by accident when Megastorm fouled up the frequency calculations. The being they were actually looking for was Megatron, although it is unclear whether they were after Beast Wars Megatron or Generation One Megatron. In any case, Galvatron viewed Majin Zarak's appearance as a thoroughly happy accident, declaring that "we obtained a weapon superior to Megatron."
- Although there is no apparent connection, Majin Zarak shares part of his name with some other dudes called Zarak, most of whom have something to do with the Headmaster Scorponok.
- Even though Majin Zarak is clearly a mechanical Transformer, its third eye and its behavior seem more organic than mechanical.
- He is one of the only tow Predacon's that dies in BWII. the other being Galvatron.
