Ohh oohhhhh, Sakamoto, you madman! We should have seen this coming. You hinted at its coming in the UW manga, and yet here it is and we never saw it coming. You are some kind of mad genius!
Anyway, looks like we finally get the long-awaited follow up to Scramble City, showing the fight between Metroplex and the original "Dainozauraa" Trypticon, who rips out not Metroplex's spark but his "Transform Cog" (as it's called here). Galvatron II's presence was previously explained in the second Baldigus comic in that he time traveled back from the post-G2 era into the late 1980s, where he was given command over the original Trypticon by Megatron. And now we see here that he was there in Scramble City all along, just offscreen, when Trypticon rose from the sea. Plus, his presence there could also be seen as a homage to the toys version of Scramble City in which toy Galvatron made an appearance alongside the other Decepticons (including Megatron).
It looks like Metroplex utterly annihilated both "Dainozauraa" Trypticon and Galvatron II with his "Projector" attack, which Optimus begged him not to use for some reason (maybe the Projector was too powerful to use and it ended up wrecking Metroplex too, my guess). Dirge and Thrust survey the wreckage and manage to salvage Full-Tilt, whom Thrust describes as Trypticon's "black box".
Then in 2010 (as that's when season 3 took place in Japan, instead of during 2005-2006), the still-living Full-Tilt provides the backup data of the original "Dainozauraa" Trypticon and, once the Constructicons create the new "Dainazauraa" Trypticon, Full-Tilt inputs the backup data and downloads it into the new Trypticon.
Later still, in the year 2015 (so, set after The Headmasters in 2011 but before all the 2021 stuff from both the Unite Warriors comics and the new Headmasters/Masterforce-related Legends comics), the dreams that Legends Rattrap has in which he meets Swerve and Tailgate take place. Only now it seems that they weren't really dreams at all, but that somehow Rattrap was projected into the main cartoon universe via his dream. And once again, Full-Tilt is recovered from Trypticon's defeat in this era.
And then we cut even further to Trypticon's most recent death by the power of the Zodiac used by Dai Atlas' and Sonic Bomber's Zone Modes from the single Zone episode. It seems that Full-Tilt wasn't attached to Trypticon when this happened, as Full-Tilt isn't visibly present on Trypticon's Zone character model. As such, the Metro Squad get a hold of Full-Tilt's "Personal Component" (as it's called here) and are able to turn the component itself into a new body of Full-Tilt, explaining how he got tiny for his new Headmaster toy.
In the Legends Universe, Weirdwolf seems to be saying stuff about Trypticon, Megatron, Metroplex, and MegaZarak to Tarantulas, and then uses Alpha Trion's Ultra-drill to bring Full-Tilt into the Legends world, where a new Transtector has been prepared for him.
