[[Apelinq|Apelinq]] was a Squadron Commander of the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] at the time of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s return from the past. His journal entries reflect Apelinq's growing alarm at the beginning of Megatron's assault. He expresses frustration at the bureaucracy as Peace Marshals go missing. Then suddenly Megatron's paralyzing virus sweeps across the planet, and Apelinq survives by developing a "shield suit." He finds fellow Wrecker [[Hot Rod|Rodimus]], whose "somewhat… [[Matrix Templar|''unique'' physiology]]" made him immune. Apelinq uses this information to create an inoculant against the virus.
When [[Primal Prime|Primal Prime]] and his team of Maximals arrive from post-BW prehistoric Earth, Apelinq inoculates them. But they're attacked by the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] [[Mirage (BM)|Mirage]], who plunges Apelinq into the same transwarp portal that Primal Prime and company had come through. Apelinq manages to dispatch Mirage, but not without losing track of his transfer interlink and antiviral program. However, he finds both and gets his bearings, secretly [[Visitations|observing the Beast Wars]] while he waits for a "temporal polestar" that will allow his transfer interlink to reopen the transwarp portal he came through. Unfortunately, though, this only happens when Shokaract arrives, and he finds himself thrust into the middle of that Armageddon.
