Primeval Dawn II: Intro

[edit]
My God, Bones. What have I done.

The binary spark that was once Tigerhawk flies forth from Nexus Zero. Arriving on Earth, it splits. One portion reanimates Airazor in a Transmetal form; she transforms and flies off after the other spark, as the Transmetalized Packrat lurks somewhere. The other spark plunges into the waters of a lake, which rapidly freeze before the reborn Tigatron bursts forth.

Within the Ark, the Transmetal driver makes contact with the Matrix contained in Optimus Prime's chest, and brings Primal Prime to life.

Ravage is reborn; Fractyl swoops in from the sky; and the Vok-empowered Tarantulas faces off with Primal Prime, Tigatron, and Airazor. Ravage fires the opening shot of the battle.

I swear that today is the day that I will develop a plan so diabolical and evil that I will crush the Powerpuff Girls!! But first... I must attend to the dishes that I have soiled with the food that I have eaten.
  • Primeval Dawn II was the originally-planned continuation of BotCon 2001's Primeval Dawn backup comic story, taking the form of a "motion comic" with limited animation, speech bubbles for dialogue, and a score provided by Vince DiCola.[1] A short introductory animation, which largely just recaps the events of the first installment, was screened at 3H Productions' stand at Wizard World East in May 2002[2], and published on BotCon Online later the same month.[3] The main 10-minute animation debuted at Wizard World Chicago in July 2002[4], but was never published online. When asked about the status of the 10-minute short sixteen years later in 2018, Glen Hallit had completely forgotten that the short had ever been screened anywhere back in 2002, having since been under the misremembered assumption it was never completed,[5] thus leaving the full short lost to time.
  • Despite the promise of further installments later in 2002, the animated format was ultimately abandoned, and the Primeval Dawn story was instead continued via further comic backup strips, which ignored Primeval Dawn II and picked up where the original comic left off. Two of these strips, now penned by Simon Furman rather than Bob Forward, debuted at OTFCC 2004, but the fourth part, intended to conclude the storyline, was never completed, due to 3H's loss of the Transformers license.

Continuity notes

[edit]
  • Packrat appears as a Transmetal, repurposed from the Walmart-exclusive Rattrap variant. Per The Wreckers #2, Packrat is a Cybertron-born character, and thus could have been affected by the quantum surge, but he was previously portrayed in his original form in art for "Visitations", set following the surge. Whether Packrat was Transmetalized by some other means or a retcon took place was never established. Fractyl, meanwhile, remains in his original body, consistent with his status as a Transformer born on Earth before the quantum surge (as established in his extended BotCon 1997 profile).
