	In [[universal stream]] of [[Primax 109.0 Beta]] in the year [[2009]], the [[Autobot]] forces are investigating a mystery: the appearance of large marks akin to the claws of a gargantuan beast on the most remote planets of [[Earth]]'s solar system. Following the marks' appearance, a mysterious ring of light materializes in the skies above [[Vancouver]], [[Washington]], and the Autobots, led by [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Alternity\|Optimus Prime]], arrive on the scene. As they watch, the ring resolves into a shape like a race track, with a silver sports car traveling along it. Optimus Prime commands the Autobots to stand down, revealing that this strange visitor is, in fact, another [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Alternity\|Optimus Prime]] from a parallel dimension.

	Prime reveals this other-dimensional incarnation of himself visited this world once before, two years prior, to deliver a warning: In 2009, their eternal enemy, [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Alternity\|Megatron]], would summon the monstrous "beast of time", [[Hytherion]], to this world. The only thing that would be able to stop the power of the Hytherion would be the [[Alternity (species)\| Alternity]], an incredible race of hyperdimensional beings to which the parallel Optimus belonged. This world's Prime agreed that when the threat of Hytherion appeared, he would join the Alternity and take up the fight.

When fusing with [[Logos Prime]]'s fractured mind, [[Vector Prime]] came across a vision of a "beast of time". While not confirmed at the time, the 2015 Facebook edition of ''[[Ask Vector Prime]]'', with Ichikawa's input, mentioned Logos Prime as having been corrupted by the Hytherion. Not that western fans would know this; the final chapter would not be translated until over a decade later.		*The Hytherion appears here named for the first time, after being hinted at in a vision in the [[The Extraordinary Reformat\|final chapter]] of ''Beast Wars Reborn'', also by Hirofumi Ichikawa.

Only with the release of "From Here to Alternity" did we truly learn what the Alternity was. Subsequent ''Alternity'' chapters would later draw further connections between the world seen in this storyline and the Binaltech universe.		*Although this story takes place in a separate timeline (or [[universal stream]], to use the in-story parlance), much of the backstory for the ''Alternity'' franchise originates with the later stages of the ''[[Transformers: Alternators\|Binaltech]]'' storyline.
