As the Autobot escape shuttle bearing Optimus Primal's Maximals and their prisoner, Megatron II, back to Cybertron travels through transwarp space, Rattrap has a dream that he's back on Earth being attacked by Dinobot II (lol @ so many IIs). He's saved when three Maximals who had toys but never appeared in the cartoon appear and knock Dinobot off a cliff. They are Optimus Minor, Wolfang, and Bonecrusher, all of whom were characters (a term used lightly) in The Gathering. Rattrap invites them to come back with him and join the other Maximals, but Optimus Minor says that they have a higher purpose now. Then Rattrap wakes up.
This nine-page comic was released as a teaser for Shell Game, an upcoming Beast Wars series by Simon Furman (of course) that was canceled when Dreamwave Productions went bankrupt and lost the license to publish Transformers comics. As it stands, it still functions as a self-contained vignette taking place immediately after the end of the last episode of Beast Wars, it's just completely pointless. Cool seeing Dinobot II drawn by Don Figueroa, though.
