A handy infographic.
NARRATION
In truth, this universe was the one that existed before the creation of Convoy and Megatron’s universe: in other words, the “Precursor World” to their “Known World”.

Panel 4
Primus summons his PRIMITIVES: the DINOBOTS.
NARRATION
In order to stop him, Primus once again summoned new warriors from the Known World.
