Fiction
Mo Zarak was approached by the renegade Decepticon Scorponok to create a new, enigmatic technology. Ultra Magnus, seeking to bring Scorponok to justice for past crimes, infiltrated the Zarak building. Deep within the walls of the laboratory, he discovered a fusion of Nebulan and Cybertronian technology in the form of a re-engineered Nebulan specimen, a transformable man.
The Consortium's security detects Ultra Magnus' intrusion, however, forcing the Autobot to smash through the gates. The auto-piloted, animated armor proves no match for Ultra Magnus, and soon he is engaged in battle with Scorponok. Zarak, fearing the destruction of his project, rushed into the room. The chairman was accidentally shopt by Scorponok, however. Zarak's wounded, opened torso revealed he himself had been re-engineered with Cybertronian technology. Scorponok escaped, and Magnus left, but the fates of Zarak, the Consortium, and its experiments are unknown. Spotlight: Ultra Magnus
