Seeing a use for the two humans, Devil Z used his power to resurrect them, and he charged them with finding the Godmaster transtectors hidden on Earth so that he could complete his plan to create the ultimate lifeform. After numerous failures on their part, Devil Z possessed the body of BlackZarak and used his powers to transform Hydra and Buster into true robots, intending to become the ultimate lifeform himself, but he was eventually destroyed by the united forces of the Autobots and Decepticons.
