Of the dozens of different giant mammalian, crocodilian, avian and selachian super predators the Miocene churned out (seriously WTF was up with that epoch?) the giant mustelids have to be the most terrifying.
modern mustelids fight off bears and kill animals 10 times their size. Now we are talking about mustelids the size of wolves up to the size of big cats.
and a 100lb honey badger would give everything in the vicinity nightmares.

More about when and where it lived and the usual, but that helps, too.
Amphimachairodus may have had some trouble at hand...

In a world of sabretooths, giant hyenas, bear dogs, borophagines, percrocutids, and bears with giant jaw muscles, a prehistoric honey badger dares to set foot.

Actually a world of the first sabretoothes, giant hyenas, Β a big cat with dromaeosaurs claws, borophagines, percrocutids, bear-dogs, cursorial hyper carnivorous bears, terror birds, Argentavis, raptorial sperm whales, multiple 8 ton crocodilians, giant sebecids, entelodonts, hyenadonts, and a crapton of giant predatory sharks including megalodon itself, plus several other gigantic mustelids even bigger than itself...
but Eomellivora doesn't care.
(Seriously the Miocene's fetish for superpredators stymies me)

and it becomes the most feared predator of all time!

That'd be one big badger.
I can't help but think it'd act almost like a hyena, a solitary version of a hyena at least. Both animals have guts when it comes to messing with other predators so seeing a big honey badger would just remind me of how a hyena would act except it will of course have some differences.
