Through an image of Unicron, Shokaract commands his loyal Blentrons, specifically Rartorata to travel to prehistoric earth to stop anyone from alerting of his coming.

On Earth, even with Torca and Grimlock, Ravage's Predacons have the advantage in the battle. Snarl calls Razorbeast outside to help fight, leaving Ravage inside of The Pack's cave base, unaware that the Decepticon is still functional. Using the Maximals' hardware, Ravage shifts his chronal placement to interact with the primary Beast Wars.

But before arriving in the same existence as Optimus Primal and Megatron's war, Ravage finds himself drawn out of time to Magmatron. Having seen the future, Magmatron explains to Ravage that a truce is in order to save Cybertron's future.

The Maximal elders, finding their society destabilized, (unaware of the effects Angolmois energy is having on the populace of Cybertron) call for help from Big Convoy. Big Convoy, however is too busy investigating a murder—one Angolmois junkie being killed so the Angolmois could be stolen. The theft of Angolmois was perpetrated by the Blendtrons so they could feed the energy to their master, Shokaract.

Lio Convoy's gang of Maximals arrive through transwarp, (having received Razorbeast's distress signal—thanks to Magmatron) ready to assist the group on earth. They descend, changing the tide of battle with their heavy weaponry. But before the battle is over, Ravage shifts himself into their time and relays the news from Magmatron: The two sides must join forces. But before he can finish explaining, Rartorata swoops out and stings Razorbeast with something that mutates the Maximal into a pig... of rage!
