Chronologically, this story would appear to be the earliest Beast Wars: Uprising fiction so far; on top of no mention being made of the Grand Uprising, the story revolves around the formation of the Darksyders, who were established in Alone Together to have been the Predacons fought by Optimus Primal's team of Maximals, as described in TransTech Blackarachnia's bio.

At one point on Page 22, Cerberus is mistakenly called "Bruticus" by the narration text.
