Rattrap dreams back to prehistoric Earth...
Synopsis
With Megatron safely contained externally, the Maximals aboard the Autobot shuttle take a much-deserved rest. Even Rattrap eventually falls asleep, to dream...
On Earth, Rattrap panics, his self-contained vehicle compromised by the much larger Dinobot 2. Dinobot 2 holds Rattrap in a painfully tight grip, despite Rattrap's attempts to appeal to any remnants of his attacker's former persona.
Suddenly, Rattrap is rescued by Wolfang, Optimus Minor, and Bonecrusher. Rattrap is full of questions, but Optimus Minor simply tells Rattrap that the three new Maximals do not wish to continue as combatants.
Rattrap wakes up aboard the Autobot shuttle. The nature of his dream is left as a mystery.

Items of note
- There is quite a bit of Cybertronix in this issue. When Dinobot II confronts Rattrap, the Predacon's viewscreen displays Maximal characters reading "subject vermin orders terminate". When we see Rattrap's perspective a few panels later, it says "that's it were all gonna die", while words on the bottom of his perspective identify his view as "rat o vision".
- This story was originally meant to be part of a six-issue miniseries called Shell Game. However, the company went bankrupt before the whole series could be released, leaving "Ain't No Rat" the only story published from said series, as part of the Dreamwave Summer Special.
