Behind the Beast Wars and between seconds, Razorbeast's Maximals fight Ravage's Decepticons.
Synopsis[]
Beetlejuice—Beetlejuice—Beetlejuice!
Magmatron, shifted out of existence, monitors reality as a chronal ghost, able to access and witness all of time but interact with nothing. In his travels, two things stand out: the extinction of the Transformers, who destroy themselves in a feral rage, and the destruction of Cybertron by a familiar form. He's seen it many times, but there is no way for him to stop it. But there may be a way he can influence others to stop it...
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.
While Torca kicks tons of ass outside, Ravage sneaks inside of the Maximal base to access the hardware that would allow himself to shift his place in time so that he might interact with Optimus Primal and Megatron's fight. Razorbeast stops Ravage and deduces from the desperation of the Predacon attack that Primal is close to winning conclusively. While Ravage explains, confirming the news and his intentions, Snarl slips into position to blast Ravage away from Razorbeast. The two Maximals knock the Predacon leader out.
Magmatron, watching the universe move forward, brings his attention back to the transwarp signal sent by the Maximals to request help from Cybertron. Although he's unable to interact with the physical world, he uses his temporal presence to escort the transwarp radio message though space to arrive at its intended destination. With his aid, the signal reaches Lio Convoy on Cybertron. The Prime decides to aid his agent on Earth.
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!

- Wolfang doesn't have his usual glowing green eyes and mouth this issue.
