Resumen:
En la oscuridad de noche, un leopardo, un jabalí, y un murciélago buscan a través de una jungla densa.
El murciélago --quién realmente es Optimus Primal, líder del Maximals-- usa sus sensores avanzados para encontrar un laboratorio genético secreto.
Entonces Optimus es atacado por un cocodrilo cercano, que se revela ser Megatron.
Los Maximals y los Predacons batallan los unos contra los otros, y los Maximals rápidamente debilitan a los Predacons.
Pero antes de que los Maximals puedan asegurar su victoria, Megatron detona el laboratorio, y los Predacons escapan.

Panel 4-5: A cheetah runs through the forest. "Eyes of a stalker hunting its prey..." "The super swift cheetah springs! But food is not on this hunter's mind..."
Panel 6-7: A boar runs through some shrubs. "Whose tusks gleam in the night?" "The wild boar, one of the most feared jungle predators!"

Panel 1: The bat is revelaed to be more than meets the eye! It's eye gleams in the darkness and the bat says... "Optical sensors detect thermal emissions and fusion activity-- I think we've found it!"
Panel 2: The secret lab is found! Optimus focuses his eyes on it... "...Auto-motion detectors tracking something outside fusion building's perimeter..."
Panel 3: Optimus Primal flies over a swamp, a crocodile peeks its head out from under the swamp surface. "...it appears to be a harmless Earth creature!"
Panel 4: The true nature of the crocodile is revealed! It swings its massive tail and hits Optimus Primal in the chest. Optimus Primal yells: "Wha-- Uhhhh!!" Megatron yells: "Guess again, Optimus!"

A banner on top of the page states: "The Heroic Maximals have found their Evil enemies: the Predacons!"
Optimus Primal transforms into his robot mode and faces off with Megatron. In the background, Cheetor, Razorbeast, Waspinator and Tarantulas fight each other. Optimus Primal proclaims "Our bio-genetic morphing process has allowed us to create the perfect fusion of organic musculature and Transformers technology!" to which Megatron replies "As have we--but my genetically altered Predacon robots were created with the DNA from Earth's most vicious life forms!"

Notas y comentarios:
En el mini-cómic aparecen Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Razorbeast, Megatron, Waspinator y Tarantulas. Solo Optimus Primal y Megatron hablan en la historieta.
Ésta es la única aventura impresa que presenta a Optimus Primal y Megatron en las formas de murciélago y cocodrilo.
Como en el marketing de los primeros juguetes de Beast Wars, el mini-cómic establece que los Maximals y los Predacons están en la Tierra en la época actual. Esto se contradice con la posterior historia de la serie de televisión y las descripciones de los juguetes.
