	The [[Omnibot (G1)\|Omnibot]] [[Overdrive]] had been so badly injured in the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)\|Cosmic Rust]] attack that his revival in a [[Binaltech]] body is taking a notably longer amount of time than his fellow [[Autobot]]s. While Overdrive's central processor is steadily being repaired, [[Honda]]'s [[Wako Fundamental Technical Research Center]] continues working on his new body, moving through a significant number of prototypes before the final model is completed. When [[Wheeljack (G1)\|Wheeljack]] arrives from [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] to implant [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Grimlock]]'s brain casing in a Binaltech body, the Overdrive prototypes are donated to him for use in his experimental "[[Project Bodyshop (project)\|Project: Bodyshop]]". Overdrive himself, meanwhile, is successfully restored, albeit at the cost of the vehicle-mode weaponry he enjoyed in his old body.

	Overdrive goes to work as a strategist for [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Ultra Magnus]]'s Autobots on [[Earth]] helping to co-ordinate the supply runs to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]]'s forces, currently battling [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Megatron]] on Cybertron. Overdrive's strategies began to suffer numerous setbacks as the result of strange coincidences, culminating in the catastrophic explosion of a supply shop loaded with [[energon cube]]s on the launchpad. These disasters are, in actuality, the work of the time-tossed [[Decepticon]], [[Ravage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Battle Ravage]], who is secretly working to try and alter the flow of history. Naturally, no-one but Battle Ravage is aware of his involvement, but Overdrive, an old hand at cross-dimensional travel, detects a fluctuation in reality with his [[Quantum Dial]], and comes to suspect that someone is attempting to disrupt the timeline and change the future.
