One of the twin moons orbiting the planet was artificial and was, in fact, a weapon of mass destruction powerful enough to destroy the entire planet.

Not long after the discovery of multiple alien artifacts on the planet, both the Maximals and Predacons became aware of a significant threat. Among these alien artifacts was a disk similar to the one Megatron had stolen on Cybertron which contained information relating to the aliens' activities on the planet. The Beast Wars raged as both sides fought over energon, stasis pods containing Maximal protoforms and strange alien relics left behind by unknown beings which would later be identified as the Vok. They had no idea what his true intentions were. With energon resources abundant on this planet, the Maximals feared that Megatron was planning to harvest it in order to start another Great War. Primal himself took on the form of a gorilla. In order to remain functional, Primal and his crew scanned their surroundings, seeking to adopt partially organic alternate forms that would insulate them from the energon radiation. In this raw form and in such abundance, the energon radiation proved to be detrimental to the Transformers' functions. Primal and his active crew survived the crash and found that the planet was rich with crystallized energon.

Primal followed the Predacons through a transwarp portal and appeared above a mysterious planet (which would later be identified as prehistoric Earth), but both ships were damaged in the ensuing space battle, and before both ships crashed into the planet's surface below, Primal ordered that the stasis pods carrying the rest of his crew to be ejected into orbit. The Axalon was the closest vessel available to pursue Megatron and his crew, though it was ill-equipped for combat. While he and his crew were conducting a research mission in a previously uncharted region of space they received word from the Maximal Council that a group of Predacon criminals had fled Cybertron aboard a transwarp-capable starship in possession of a relic called the Golden Disk. Optimus was originally the captain of the Maximal exploration ship Axalon.
