->''"Prime's worst fears came true. In the heat of battle, when it looked as though Megatron and his Decepticons had won, Grimlock was unable to contain [[TitleDrop the beast within]], and for the first time in over four million years, the Dinobots combined into a being of unspeakable terror. Grimlock, Slag, Sludge, Snarl and Swoop all writhed in agony as their bodies were torn and conjoined into a single creature, one that should never have existed."''
