	Now, in the early 21st century, Triple-I has been disbanded, but some of the organization's staffers have taken the items for themselves, including "Schrödinger's Box". Using the advanced technology shared among humans as part of the Binaltech Project, they discover that the capsule is, in fact, the flight recorder from the [[transwarp cruiser]] belonging to the future incarnation of the [[Decepticon]], [[Ravage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Ravage]], which had travelled back in time and crashed on prehistoric Earth. The staffers are able to make contact with [[Central Consciousness File X-9\|a copy of Ravage's personality programming]] that he had downloaded into the flight recorder before his death, and make a deal to provide him with a new body in exchange for his knowledge of the future.

	The Triple-I staffers set up a fake [[Binaltech]] project to create a body into which Ravage's consciousness will be implanted. However, consciousness alone will not suffice; in order for Ravage to truly be revived as a living Transformer, he requires a "life essence nucleus", or what Ravage dubs a "[[spark]]". As luck would have it, the present-day incarnation of Ravage is currently in [[Earth Defense Command]] custody. [[Stasis lock]]ed into cassette mode, the present-day Ravage is permanently inserted into the tape deck of Ravage's new body, supplying the body with a spark. The new body of "Battle Ravage" is specifically built without weapons as a safety precaution by the Triple-I staffers, but Battle Ravage, with his knowledge of future technology, is able to take control of the assembly line and ensure he is armed with top-of-the-line armaments. No sooner has he been brought online than Ravage turns on the humans who had revived him and eliminates them and all data relating to the project that built his body: having realized that his efforts during the [[Beast Wars (event)\|Beast Wars]] to alter the course of history have failed, Battle Ravage vows to make another attempt to change history.

			*To this point, ''Binaltech'' deliberately avoided using the term "spark", instead referring to it in the abstract as "lifeforce", as sparks did not exist as a concept during Generation 1, and so would logically not be known to the Transformers of this era. However, that is logically averted here, as the Ravage within Schrödinger's Box is from ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)\|Beast Wars]]'', where the concept of sparks was established and shown to be common knowledge to Transformers of that time.
