The sun glowed down upon the (mostly) untainted world. It sparkled on pristine waters, cast shadows down through majestic trees, and most importantly, made Waspinator look really, really good.

Shelter, fire, abundant food ... all this and more had Waspinator given to them, for he had grown sick of Megatron's destructive ways. In peace, he had found a new purpose. He would watch over and protect the early humans, and they would, in return, adore him. Waspinator finally had friends.

To be sure, the humans had their shortcomings. Waspinator had to be careful not to handle them too roughly, for even his small Beast Wars forms had the strength to cripple the humans with the slightest bit too much effort. They also had a lot to learn. A lot. Waspinator was no mental giant, and he knew this. Still, his Cybertronian brain was far superior to those who now thought of him as God. At least that was what he told himself every day he woke up. Finally, the humans always seemed to be getting into trouble. He didn't mind so much, as the mishaps provided a sort of challenge at times for his Cybertronian strength and skewed wit. All in all, it was an even exchange to Waspinator.
