Two ships, flung through time and space, crash on prehistoric Earth.
Synopsis
The mad warrior Ultra Magnus has succeeded. Using the Terminus Blade, he has sent the Earth of Primax 207.0 Epsilon into his home mirrorverse, destroying everything left in the former "Classicsverse". Now, his actions have spread across the multiverse, causing chaos across tine and space. And now, from the remains of the "Classicsverse", two ships are propelled into the deep past of this mirror world, on a course that could decide the fate of the multiverse...
In space, a portal disgorges the Autobot ship the Graviton, followed closely behind by the Decepticon warship the Talon, blasting the Autobot ship apart. Onboard the Graviton, Ultra Magnus receives status reports from Grimlock, Prowl, Ironhide, and Silverbolt; with their ship too heavily damaged to prevent a crash, Magnus orders them to take out the Decepticon's guns and engines. Onboard the Talon, Megatron, along with Dirge and the Seacons, push forward their assault, but the gravitational pull of the planet below proves too much for their damaged ship as well, and the two ship begin re-entry.

Quotes
"If I were him, I'd wanna blast the closest thing I could find... Those would do in a pinch. Organics make the most wonderful popping noises!"
"A delightful idea! Let's have at-"
- —Tentakil and Nautilator shortly before getting their comeuppance.
"So, let us wipe across this untamed planet, and tear it asunder to its very screaming molecules. Their seas will run red, their mountains crumble, their forests burn, and all will know, beast or Autobot, the true meaning of war!"
- —Megatron has a few ideas for improving the environment.
Notes
- The events of this installment parallel the beginning of "Beast Wars (Part 1)". As in Beast Wars, Earth has two moons.
- While the Autobots adopt beast modes corresponding to their Beast Wars toys (and Ultra Magnus takes on his 2012 Timelines toy body), Megatron takes on his Generation 2 "Hero" body, Dirge has Beast Wars II Dirge's body, and likewise the Seacons now use the colors of their Beast Wars II counterparts.
- Nautilator has no Beast Wars II counterpart, which may explain why he was promptly killed off, however Tentakil has one in Scylla.
- Grimlock's new raptor mode has feathers! Not enough of them, though.
