Optimus and Dinobot carefully approached the metallic object that they had found. Rattrap was nowhere to be seen, but the two figured he had hidden on the ship they had located. Optimus and Dinobot, after having defeated the two incompetent and idiotic Decepticons, went aboard the ancient Ark, so that they could find Rattrap who had hidden safely aboard the ship.

Meanwhile, Rhinox and Cheetor watched little Ratbait, Chopper, and Dinotrap who were starting to get into everything. Well at least Ratbait and Chopper were while Dinotrap stayed glued to Cheetor's side. Tigetron and Airrazor were out monitoring, making sure that the Decepticons were taken care of. Rhinox and Cheetor knew that the sparklings were missing their parents, but since Cheetor was part of the family, the sparklings were not as restless as they could be. Sliverbolt and Blackarachnia were off on their own.

Meanwhile, as Dinobot and Optimus searched the Ark, first for Rattrap and then they would look for materials so that they could repair their ship. And as they continued to look for Rattrap, they walked by all kinds of giant transformers, as realized that many of these bots in stasis lock were the ancestors of both the Maximals and the Predicons. Optimus was wide-eyed as the two passed the Autobot commander Optimus Prime in his chair while Dinobot was floored when he saw the stasis locked forms of Megatron and his SIC Starscream. They had to walk carefully around and over many different Transformers such as Jazz, Prowl, Soundwave, Thundercracker, Wheeljack, and Skywarp. And as they searched, they were once again led back to where Prime sat, and soon Rattrap crawled out from behind the Autobot leader's neck, which had been a safe place to hide.

And once Rattrap had been found, the three Maximals stood in awe of the ship surrounding them. And soon Optimus found that there were metal fragments lying around that could be used to repair their ship. Optimus and the others gathered as much as they could carry and headed back to their damaged ship. However, before they could leave, Silverbolt and Blackarachnia showed up and helped gather more metal to help repair the Maximal ship.

And though Rattrap tried to help as much as he could, the unsparked sparklings inside him were causing him to feel strange. And even though he struggled, Rattrap managed to carry a few things back, though most of the rest carried the majority of the scraps that they could find back to the Maximal ship. They soon met up with Airrazor and Tigetron, who took the materials from Rattrap. And all the Maximals other than Cheetor and Rhinox headed back to the ship, in hopes that they had brought enough material to repair their craft.

Since Cheetor and the little ones had finally decided to take a nap, it was Rhinox who saw the rest of the Maximals approaching the ship with all kinds of materials. Rhinox was surprised to see all the team members return, but was shocked to see Airrazor carrying Rattrap. Rhinox headed out to greet the team and to take the rodent into the med bay. And with Rattrap in good care, the others began to repair the ship.

Cheetor and the little sparklings did not wake during the entire time, as they were exhausted. Rhinox checked over Rattrap and found that Rattrap was once again carrying sparklings, though Rhinox could tell that the sparklings were almost ready to come out.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team patched up their ship. Amazingly, they had found enough scrap metal to repair the damage to their ship, and having collected data about the planet, the Maximals prepared to go back to their own time, leaving behind the creatures they had met on this planet and saluting the planet as they realized that they had in fact landed on ancient earth.

Dinobot sought out his mate, concerned about how Rattrap was doing. Cheetor and the sparklings woke up, sensing that Rattrap and Dinobot were nearby, and safe. Dinobot, having checked on Cheetor and the little sparklings and having found them safe, headed to the med bay to see how Rattrap was doing.

Dinobot was shocked when he went in and found Rattrap in the middle of giving birth to two little mech sparklings, both black in color and a combination of Dinobot and Rattrap with a body of a rat with legs and claws of a raptor. Dinobot was happy when he saw that Rattrap was healthy and back to normal as he could be. The two little mechs, identical twins though one had a white spot on his chest while the other had a white spot on his belly, were named Trex and Sewer. Dinobot was happy as his family was all safe and they were heading back to where they belonged, 4 million years in the future.

And upon returning, Optimus Primal and the others were happy that they had now returned home. Sparkmates Tigetron and Airrazor were happy, as Airrazor was unknowingly pregnant. Sparkmates Silverbolt and Blackarachnia were happy to be home, and were getting ready to start a family of their own. Dinobot and Rattrap, along with their family Cheetor, Ratbait, Chopper, Dinotrap, Trex, and Sewer, were happy to be heading home where they could raise their family safe and sound. Meanwhile, Optimus and Rhinox were just happy to be back were they belonged as both had sparkmates waiting for them. All in all, it was a happy ending as everything was as it should be, and the Predicons were no longer there as their leader was long gone. It truly was as if all were one.
