The War for Cybertron: Kingdom "Golden Disk Collection" was a subline that featured a narrative focusing on a mysterious alternate timeline from the original Beast Wars. It centered around the consequences of a far more powerful quantum surge from "Aftermath", of course, starring the toys sold in the subline. The Amazon pages for these toys included a full story for this alternate timeline (using a mix of text and images of text) accompanied by stock photography of the toys. The product descriptions for each toy also included a short abridged version for each story.
Below are unedited transcripts of both the abridged and complete stories, spelling errors and all!

CHAPTER 1: THROUGH THE VORTEX
ROAD RANGER AND PUFFER
The quantum surge causes a time vortex, intercepting the GoBot Road Ranger and the Autobot Pipes and Huffer, pulling them through time and space.
During the wild journey through the vortex, Huffer and Pipes fuse and arrive on prehistoric Earth as Puffer.
But wait, someone else came through the vortex too, it's--
TO BE CONTINUED IN CHAPTER 2…
CHAPTER 2: …AND OUT THE OTHER SIDE
JACKPOT WITH SIGHTS
The quantum surge causes a time vortex, intercepting the Action Master Jackpot and his partner Sights, pulling them through time and space to prehistoric Earth.
During the wild journey through the vortex, Jackpot, a non-converting Action Master, gains the ability to convert into a vehicle mode for the first time! (Classic Jackpot luck) And Sights discovers he can no longer change into his classic photon cannon alt mode, but instead converts to an axe!
Jackpot sends Sights for some recon and he observes that they are somehow on prehistoric Earth, and they are not alone. Two beastly bots of unknown factions plot to rewrite history for their own nefarious gain using something called a Transwarp cell, which they've discovered they can find if they locate the Decepticon ship, the Nemesis! Sights also makes another discovery: there are other Autobots nearby...
Jackpot and Sights meet Road Ranger and Puffer and tell them what Sights discovered on his recon mission. The Autobots decide to join forces to stop the unknown bots, save the timeline, and get themselves back to their own time and locations. (And for some, back to normal!) Only the Transwarp cell can set it all right again, but can they get to it before the other bots?
CHAPTER 3: ENTER THE MUTANT WARRIOR
MUTANT TIGATRON
In this timeline, the quantum surge kills all the Maximals and Predacons, except one...Tigatron. The noble and nature-loving tiger bot survives, but he is greatly changed. The surge left him severely mutated and altered his personality.
He is aggressive and savage and yearns only for battle. He doesn't remember his allegiance to the Maximals or his love of Earth's natural beauty.
But wait, another bot has survived...one who, once he discovers the new Mutant Tigatron, seizes the opportunity to form an alliance with the ferocious warrior. He sets a plan in motion to travel back in time so he can seize power and rule the Predacons with the vicious Tigatron as his second-in-command!
CHAPTER 4: THE TERRORFYING CONCLUSION
TERRORSAUR
In this timeline, rather than perishing in a pool of lava, the lava protects Terrosaur from the surge and infuses him with powerful lava energy that gives him the ability to breathe fire!
Scorponok and all other Maximals and Predacons on Earth aren’t so lucky. Except one…Tigatron. When Terrorsaur discovers the Mutant Tigatron, he seizes the opportunity to form an alliance with the now ferocious warrior, setting a plan in motion to travel back in time and fulfill his true destiny. With his incredible new power and the terrifying Mutant Tigatron as his second-in-command, he can eliminate Megatron and take his rightful place as ruler of the Predacons!
Terrorsaur, using the Golden Disk, discovers Tarantulas had installed a Transwarp cell inside the Decepticon ship, the Nemesis…but where is the ship…?
Meanwhile, the Autobots Jackpot, Sights, Road Ranger and Puffer, who have been pulled to prehistoric Earth from various times and locations in space, learn of his plot and join forces to stop Terrorsaur. If they can locate the Nemesis ship first, they can prevent Terrorsaur from executing his plan and use the ship to travel back in time themselves, preventing the surge and putting everything right again.
Just as Terrorsaur and Tigatron finally locate the Nemesis, they're attacked from behind! It's the Autobots! Autobots? Tigatron immediately begins to fight. Terrorsaur, though stunned to see members of a faction he thought long dead, quickly takes flight to counter their attacks.
In the chaos of battle, Terrorsaur drops the Golden Disk. Tigatron races over to retrieve it for his commander, but when he touches it something happens. The memories of the noble, nature-loving Tigatron come flooding back. He remembers everything. And he knows what he has to do.
He turns on Terrorsaur, helping the Autobots defeat the evil Predacon. When the battle is done, Tigatron explains to the confused, yet grateful, Autobots who he is and what he thinks happened to him and what got them all here. The new allies realize that even if they go back in time, the quantum surge is still coming, it will still wipe out everyone. The only way they can save the future is by figuring out a way to suppress the blast.
Tigatron has a plan, but the Autobots have to trust him. He and the Autobots travel back to just before the surge. Tigatron sends Puffer in a pod with the ship's transwarp drive away from the imminent blast. He then steers the Nemesis directly into the explosion, attempting to absorb as much of the force of the blast at its inception as he can. The crash destroys the Nemesis ship and everyone inside...
With the force of the quantum surge suppressed, there isn't enough power to create the vortex, to save and power up Terrorsaur when he falls into the lava, to mutate Tigatron, or to take out all the Maximals and Predacons. And so the Autobots are never brought through the vortex, Terrorsaur perishes in the lava, Tigatron never mutates, and the Maximals and most of the Predacons survive, getting hit by a less powerful surge that causes some to gain new Transmetal forms.
