In the Project Lazarus team's attempts to access Lord Zarak's files from the Grax Communications Facility, they triggered a ghost protocol that revived Scorponok's original head, and he was able to gain control over the Nebulans. Natural Selection, Part One

Hiding his revival, Scorponok had public records state that the initial tests proved disastrous, but the results were encouraging enough that the Nebulans continued with their research.

The project's research, with Scorponok's help, restored the bodies of the Autobots Highbrow, Brainstorm, and Hardhead, who had all lost their original bodies (and Nebulan partners) in the battle with Unicron. He also provided Grimlock with a new, Nucleon-free, body. Natural Selection, Part Two

Following Scorponok's defeat on Cybertron, contact with Nebulos was re-established and Project Lazarus was started up again, with Chromedome's head being restored to his original body and Stylor rejoining Nebulan society. At the same time, preparations were being made to create a new body for Fortress Maximus though unbeknownst to the Project Lazarus team, his head had already been corrupted by the Dark Matrix creature.
