Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon
Chip Chase and his astronomer friend Jeff spotted the meteor but were unable to get a reading off it. Chip called in the Autobots and Spike Witwicky, who rushed to the location the meteor would hit — a ghost town in the middle of nowhere. Once it hit dirt, Optimus Prime blasted a chunk off it and left the three Dinobots to guard it. Megatron also had his eye on Meteorini Chiparoni, and turned the Dinobots against the Autobots. The meteorite was spirited away by Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp. Back at Autobot Headquarters, Wheeljack determined from the sample that the meteorite was highly unstable and likely to explode.
The Decepticons filled energon cubes from the meteorite, despite Starscream's warning that the energy within appeared unstable. Sure enough, shortly after the Dinobots arrived with a bruised and battered Optimus Prime, the pile of energon cubes exploded violently. Two new Dinobots, Snarl and Swoop, arrived before any further action could be taken and a brawl broke out. Grimlock fell near the now dangerously unstable meteorite. Optimus was able to save the Dinobot leader as the meteorite exploded. War of the Dinobots
