Fun Publications reminds us all why we're glad they're going away. Megatron successfully kills Optimus Prime. This turns out to be a bad idea.
Synopsis
Following his attack on the slumbering Optimus Prime, Megatron gloats to the Maximals about their impending erasure from history. Blackarachnia responds by activating Teletraan 1, flinging him away from the ship... but not as far as in the main Beast Wars timeline. This allows Megatron to fire on Optimus Prime again while the Maximals try to save him. The Maximals begin to fade out, but Blackarachnia has a desperate gambit... using her cyber-venom on the original Megatron. Thus is the stage set for the eventual Beast Wars: Uprising.

Notes
- For a comic whose sole purpose seems to be setting up an origin for a universe, it certainly does a bad job of it. Since there's little here besides the bungled continuity, one wonders exactly what the point of it is.
- Fun Publications has seemingly learned nothing about how ill-advised it is to try to explain already established universes from Dawn of Future's Past.
Errors
- Optimus Prime and Megatron were previously mentioned in Broken Windshields in the same breath with Bumblebee, Prowl, Blaster, Starscream, Shockwave, and Soundwave (G1). It's possible that they died millions of years before the others, but incredibly awkward.
- Micro-Aggressions further makes Galvatron, born of Megatron, a major player in the universe. Again, it's conceivable that Unicron used a 4 million year old corpse to make his herald, but bizarre.
- To be fair, Blackarachnia notes that she's not sure she can destroy Megatron. This gives a little wiggle room, but begs the question why the comic didn't just end with Optimus getting shot.
- Broken Windshields further has Quickstrike as a Predacon, not a Maximal, which is, again, awkward given the mythology.
- Someone made a screen capture comic and published it non-ironically.
