'''A very familiar gorilla arrives just in time!'''

==Synopsis==
On prehistoric [[Earth]], [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]]'s [[Maximal]]s and [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Beast Megatron]]'s [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] fight. After an unsettling period of inactivity, Optimus Primal seeks out Megatron. During his search, he comes across the space-time distortion, the [[Blastizone]]. To see if Megatron has travelled to the other side of the Zone, Primal enters.

Optimus Primal exits in the midst of battle between [[R-Blade]] and the trio of [[Psycho-Orb]], [[Tow-Line (RID)|Wrecker Hook]], and [[Air Hunter]]. R-Blade, who is carrying sensitive data in his body, is unable to fight back for fear of damaging the data. As Optimus Primal intervenes, he is underestimated by the [[Decepticon]]s, who tell him to go away. Angry at the cowardly dog-piling of a single warrior, Primal transforms and amazes the Decepticons with his power. Their bleating that Beast Megatron didn't tell them of Optimus Primal gives the Maximal his answer—Beast Megatron is in this world!

After Primal has handed the Decepticons a beating, R-Blade awakens to find himself alone. All he can think of is how his savior reminded him of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]].
