Rhinox takes all the credit.

Synopsis

Millions of years in the past, the evil Maximal Rhinox is visited by the mad Autobot doctor Ratchet. The Maximal's ancestor chastises him for continuing to mess with the timestream, but Rhinox's unintelligible rebuttal convinces the doctor otherwise. Ratchet provides Rhinox with a stasis lock cure, and warns his fellow doc-bot to watch out for the crew finding out about his time-traveling activities, before wishing him good luck. Later, Cheetor and Rattrap celebrates Rhinox's "new invention", none the wiser to his deception.

Notes

Transformers references

• Rhinox is based on his positive-universe counterpart's Transmetal toy, in the colors of the infamously terrible promotional toy of Rhinox from Rally's and Checkers, based on said Transmetal toy.
• Ratchet is in his BotCon 2016 customization class toy body.
• Cheetor is colored like the prototype version of Beast Wars Tigatron, seen at Toy Fair 1996, altered to be patterned after a cheetah rather than a tiger. His catchphrase, "low-gear!", is an inversion of his positive-universe counterpart's catchphrase, "ultra gear!"
• Rattrap is based on his positive-universe counterpart's Japanese exclusive redeco of his Transmetal toy, sold with a 500-piece Beast Wars Metals puzzle at Central Hobby. His cry of "we're all gonna live!" is reversed from his counterpart's often repeated quote, "we're all gonna die!"

Other trivia

• All of Rhinox's "dialogue" is rendered in unintelligible scribbles, the joke being that everyone else hears him as being very well-spoken.
• Ratchet's stasis lock cure has a unique faction insignia on it, a version of the Shattered Glass Autobot symbol with a surgical mask and head mirror.
