	In an alien jungle, a cockatrice chases its prey through the undergrowth... until it's promptly crushed underneath Grimlock's huge metal fist as the Dinobot leader gets his bearings. Grimlock has no idea where he is or what's happened to him; as he tries and fails to raise Optimus on his communicator, he realizes that he might be lost, but he's not alone—without warning, a pack of huge, cat-like creatures charge toward him and nearly trample him underfoot! Grimlock fights back, but the monsters have weight and numbers on their side; although they quickly overwhelm Grimlock and drag him down, but they're only flesh and blood and can't pierce his metal hide. Thinking quickly, Grimlock counterattacks by transforming into dinosaur mode, swatting his attackers away with his tail, and unleashes a mighty gout of flame that reduces the creatures to cinders.

	As Grimlock returns to robot mode, a voice compliments him on his victory over the [[leodon]] pack; Grimlock turns to see a group of unfamiliar humanoids, who hail him as the answer to their prayers! Their leader introduces himself as [[Arnak]], elder of [[Valerift]] and the one responsible for summoning Grimlock to the land of [[Menonia]]. Many centuries ago, he explains, Cybertronians liberated Menonia with the help of the [[Golden One]]—but time moves differently in this realm and the Golden One's power corrupted the once-wise ruler into a cruel despot. The rebels who opposed him could not defeat him themselves; their only hope was to cast a spell to summon the Cybertronian leader who'd saved them once before—Optimus Prime. Grimlock bristles at that name: he is ''not'' the Autobot leader, and snarls that if they want Prime then they can keep looking for him. Although Arnak's daughter [[Arko]] hates the sight of her father begging Grimlock for assistance, Arnak has no other choice and takes a different tack: it took all of their remaining power to bring Grimlock to Menonia—the ''only'' way Grimlock gets home is if he helps them defeat the Golden One and ~~use~~ his magic to return to Cybertron.

The ruler of Menonia is intrigued that the rebels' plan has successfully worked, but can't hide his delight at the fact that they've summoned the wrong Cybertronian—as he explains to his servant [[Clatta]], ''Optimus'' might have rallied the rebels, but Grimlock is a blustering fool whose arrogance will only further divide them.

	Arko interrupts to snap that the Golden One could attack at any moment—if their "saviour" won't do his job, then they'll just have to save themselves. Arnak explains to the new arrival that the Golden One punishes all Menonians who worship the "anti-sun" by shapeshifting into a mighty dragon and terrorizing the countryside by burning everything in his path. Grimlock might be the only being in Menonia who can defeat the Golden One... but the Dinobot growls that while their enemy is strong, they are not. Fighting their battles for them won't make Arnak and his men strong—the only way they can learn true strength is if they save ''themselves''. Arnak again tries to get Grimlock to see reason, by reminding him that there's only one way for him to return home, but Grimlock stubbornly stomps off into the woods. As one of Arnak's compatriots shouts that Optimus would never abandon them, Grimlock retorts that he's ''not'' Optimus and never will be; if the punishment for that is being stuck in Menonia alone for the rest of time, then so be it. Arko won't give up so easily, however: clearly, Grimlock has no patience for weakness and neither does she. As the Dinobot pushes his way through the jungle and stumbles on a trio of monstrous cyclopes, wielding weapons bearing the Autobot [[insignia]], Arko follows his trail of destruction. If she can't ''persuade'' Grimlock to help, she vows, then she'll have to ''make'' him...
