[[Mike Kazybrid|Mychailo Kazybrid]]'s ''The Chromobots'' treated nuclear weaponry with surprising reverence. The main goal of supervillain [[Predator]] was to combine [[Chromobot]] technology with human nuclear armaments to create a super-weapon to destroy [[Chromos Five]] and devastate Earth, "dwarf[ing [[Dudley]]'s] thoughts of what nuclear destruction really is!" {{storylink|The Transformers issue 16/The Chromobots|''The Chromobots'' issue 16}} Predator's first objective concerned abducting [[Tessa Stone]], owner of Stone Industries, a nuclear arms developer (conspicuously noted as supplying to Western powers). {{storylink|The Transformers issue 17/The Chromobots|Issue 17}} [[Shield]] was concerned that the beauty of planet Earth would be destroyed if Predator succeeded. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 21/The Chromobots|Issue 21}}
After being lured into a time shift, {{storylink|The Transformers issue 22/The Chromobots|Issue 22}} Dudley and the Chromobots arrived in the year [[Robot universe#2535|2535]], in which Earth was a devastated wasteland. [[Mikros]] deduced that a nuclear war had taken place, grimly remarking that it was a type of war in which there wouldn't be that much fighting. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 23/The Chromobots|Issue 23}} The planet was hospitable only to Predator and his [[Chromatic Mutant]]s; {{storylink|The Transformers issue 24/The Chromobots|Issue 24}} all humans had been wiped out, and Chromos Five had been totally destroyed. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 25/The Chromobots|Issue 25}} This grim future was averted when Dudley stole Predator's [[time modulator]] and took it through the time shift back to [[Robot universe#1985|1985]], trapping the supervillain in a timeline that had folded in on itself. {{storylink|The Transformers issue 26/The Chromobots|Issue 26}}
