==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], believing himself inside a video game, snooped around the computer memory of the genetic lab that the [[Decepticon]]s stole. When he was detected by a search-and-destroy protection program, Optimus escaped through a tunnel leading back to [[Alternate Reality, Inc.]]'s computer systems. The tunnel itself was armored with a protection program by [[Ethan Zachary]].

Optimus Prime infiltrated the genetic lab's computer system a second time. [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], unable to resist the opportunity, downloaded his mind into the computer system. There, he found Optimus Prime and fired on him. Fortunately for Optimus, he was safeguarded by a protection program and he viciously counterattacked, forcing Scorponok to leave the dataspace. {{Storylink|Pretender to the Throne!}}
