His observance is confirmed when another earthquake sends [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Ratchet]] falling into the energon, causing him to temporarily regress into a mindless beast and attack his own comrades.

	Meanwhile, Optimus Prime finds that the Dynobots, or the Vanguard Covert Strike Force as they were formally known, had been sent to the [[Toraxxis Plains]] prior to the refinery's construction to investigate rumors of underground terrorist bases, but were instead attacked by vicious "[[cyber-morphic predator]]s" living in the caves. Their field medic, [[Skar (IDW)\|Skar]], had the team use "dynamic alt-mode adaption"—a method of scanning new alt-modes in the field—to take on new modes based on the monsters and escape, though he himself was killed in the process. On returning home, the remaining Dynobots were placed in quarantine so that their new alt-modes and Skar's dynamic adaption theory could be studied. Their grief over the loss of a comrade and callous treatment by their superiors caused the team to snap and run away, disappearing off the radar until [[Endgame\|recently]]. Having heard all this, Kup believes the Dynobots must be put down before their alt-modes cause them to go berserk, but Prime has faith that they can be saved.

	While exploring the caverns beneath [[Toraxxis mega-refinery\|Toraxxis]], [[Jetfire (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Jetfire]]'s science team find ancient writing on a wall depicting [[Transformer]]s fighting a large monster.

	At [[Metroplex (G1)\|Metroplex]], [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Optimus Prime]] is looking up info about the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dynobots]], curious about their recent reemergence and [[Grimlock (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Grimlock]]'s strange alt-mode. Wanting to hear the team's story from the viewpoint of one of their fellow soldiers, he brings in [[Kup (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Kup]], who tells him that the Dynobots were once model soldiers in [[Nominus Prime]]'s [[Primal Vanguard]] specializing in heavy weaponry, demolitions and sabotage, but vanished one day after completing a mysterious mission.

	While exploring the caverns beneath [[Toraxxis mega-refinery\|Toraxxis]], [[Jetfire (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Jetfire]]'s science team find ancient writing on a wall depicting [[Transformer]]s fighting a large monster.
