TFCC - Beast Wars Shattered Glass Chapter One: Shattered Time

Plot

The Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus destroys the Classicsverse with the Terminus Blade, however an Autobot and Decepticon ship escaped through a hole in space and both crashland on a planet, with their engines blown out.

After waking up from the crash, Girmlock goes out to investigate, but immediately seizes up due to the intense Energon in the area, elsewhere Megatron sends Nautilator and Tentakil out to investigate, and they too are seized up due to the Energon radiation, however they also get trampled and smashed apart by some local bisons.

Back at the Graviton (Autobot ship) the Autobots use Pretender and Powermaster technology to graft some organic modes based on some local lifeforms, and head out. Meanwhile at the Talon (Decepticon ship) Megatron has decided to use an experimental Energon-Absorbing armor instead so they can retain some mechanical dignity and has his remaining crew get ready for battle.

Notes

• This story follows the final scenes of Invasion, showing 2 of the surviving ships from that universe (it's not clear yet if they know they just narrowly escaped an exploding universe)
• The Decepticon ship, the Talon, looks like a creepy evil face...Now I won't sleep tonight!
• The Ultra Mammoth toy revealed for the 2013 Sub Service from the TFCC is confirmed here as being just a beast mode for G1 Ultra Magnus here
• The other Autobot alternate modes are based on some toys from the Beast Wars toyline who shared the same character names
• Dirge and the surviving Seacon's character model is based on their counterparts from Beast Wars II, and Megatron uses the body from his purple tank G2 toy, who sometimes came sold as Archforce. 
• The Lobster and Squid Seacons were "killed off" here because there was no Lobster counetrpart in BWII, and the Squid one was female.
• It's weird to me that Prowl, Ironhide and Silverbolt, who were from the Classicsverse, weren't in their Universe toy models...since some other characters were....
• Wonder where the rest of the Graviton crew are....
• Judging by the beast modes available this planet is likely an alternate Earth where that Matrix thingie was shipped off to.
• The floating computer that works on Megatron seems to be a NAVI of some sort
