A new war across time begins!
Synopsis
It is the year 2004. With the help of the United Nations, the Autobots have begun work on their Scramble City operation. Their plan is interrupted by the sudden arrival of the time-displaced Beast Megatron who has come to present-day Earth via a time portal called the Blastizone. Beast Megatron has seized command of the Decepticons in the absence of the original Megatron and organized them into a force to be reckoned with. The Decepticons are now after a powerful new energy source littered across the globe: Solitarium.
Beast Megatron's knowledge of future events, along with his powerful new army of Decepticons, prove too much for Optimus Prime and his Autobots. Luckily, they are not alone in this battle. Another warrior has emerged from the Blastizone: Beast Megatron's arch-nemesis, Optimus Primal!
Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal then form a united front against Beast Megatron and his Decepticons.
