After being magically transported to Earth, Spike took up residence in the crashed Ark and struck up a friendship with Grimlock. Spike soon came to idolized the enormous Dinobot leader, declaring him "so cool" and admitting that he felt inferior in comparison. When the Constructicons attacked, however, Grimlock found himself outmatched by Devastator's brute strength. Thinking quickly, Spike consulted Teletraan I's instruction manuals and taught himself how to activate the ship's engines, blasting Devastator into his components and rescuing Grimlock. As the Constructicons retreated, Grimlock told Spike that the little dragon was a brave warrior in his own right, with the potential to become even stronger .

With the day saved, Grimlock announced that Spike was now an honorary Dinobot. The Mightiest Dinobot
