	In prehistory, the scientific commander [[Optimus Primal]] and his crew were stranded on Earth; they had a long-running war against a second [[Megatron (BW)\|Megatron]], a nasty sort who had taken the name to gain reflected terror, and both sides took the forms of animals to protect themselves from atmospheric energon. In their battle, they actually found the lost Ark on Earth and when Megatron II tried to kill the original Optimus, Primal briefly became the guardian of the Matrix!

	Megatron II stole the spark of the original and returned to Cybertron, conquering it with a [[transformation virus]]. As nothing more is known of Primal and the Ark remained dormant, it is likely (though not explicitly stated) that Megatron killed Primal and his crew before they could inform Cybertron about the Ark's whereabouts.

	The posters offered a brief description for each of the characters, with the G1 cast having information taken from multiple continuities. Despite this, there was no mention of the multiple canon. Some vital data, like how the Maximals are time-travelers and that Primus was a god, is left out, while some things are heavily simplified (like the 'secrecy' in ''Robots in Disguise''). The result is that if you only had the posters to work with, you were at something of a disadvantage.
