[[Image:BWNemesisPt1_rises.jpg|thumb|350px|&amp;quot;The most powerful warship ever built! ...and I just had it washed.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{episodenav |BW |season=3 |12 |prev=Other Victories |next=Nemesis Part 2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Down but not out, Megatron discovers Tarantulas&#039;s secret tunnel network that leads to the Decepticon warship, the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Maximal]]s, secure for the first time since they moved into [[Mount St. Hilary]], begin searching for the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, who have been vulnerable since [[Tigerhawk]] destroyed the [[Darksyde|Predacon base]]. [[Optimus Primal]] quotes a verse from the &#039;&#039;[[Covenant of Primus]]&#039;&#039;, believing Tigerhawk&#039;s arrival to be divine prophecy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, the Predacons are growing disaffected with Megatron. (Even [[Waspinator]] is mouthing off.) [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]], ever loyal to his &amp;quot;queen&amp;quot;, declares that a new &amp;quot;colony&amp;quot; will resecure them. Megatron orders him to take Waspinator and [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]], while he, [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]], and [[Dinobot 2]] search the remains of [[Tarantulas&#039;s lair]]. Dinobot finds a hatch which leads to an underwater tunnel, which in turn leads to something that greatly excites Megatron. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] and [[Depth Charge]] spot Inferno, Waspinator, and Quickstrike leaving. Optimus orders them to fall back, but Depth Charge heads in. Optimus leaves with [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], and Tigerhawk to support them. As Primal arrives, Depth Charge finds the hatch&amp;amp;mdash;and a bomb. The explosion fails to kill any of the Maximals, but Silverbolt is damaged, and Blackarachnia and Cheetor escort his parts back to base. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the protohumans&#039; cave dwellings, Inferno declares that the caves will be their new &amp;quot;colony&amp;quot;. He orders Quickstrike and Waspinator to engage, but Waspinator angrily refuses. Something has finally snapped in Waspy&#039;s central processor, and he declares that he is out of the Beast Wars. After a tirade against Megatron, the Predacons, life in general, and always being blown up, Waspinator tells them that they can kiss his stinger.  Inferno and Quickstrike blast him, and proceed to attack the protohumans (who have become much tougher, having learned from the example of [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] and the Maximals).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the tunnels, Primal, Tigerhawk, and Depth Charge continue searching. After locating a data terminal, Primal accesses it and discovers what Tarantulas found and Megatron desires&amp;amp;mdash;the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;, the flagship of the [[Decepticon fleet]] and the vessel which shot down the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039;. Realizing the threat the Decepticon warship holds, Depth Charge heads out to locate it. Meanwhile, Megatron and Dinobot find that Tarantulas modified the vessel with a [[transwarp]] cell, installed a Predacon control console, and left behind a &#039;&#039;Covenant of Primus&#039;&#039; to boot. Megatron and Dinobot begin powering up the vessel for an attack. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reaching the sunken behemoth, Depth Charge engages Rampage. The two enemies fight, and Depth Charge grabs an [[energon crystal]]. He drives it into Rampage&#039;s [[spark]], and the explosion destroys both Transformers and also causes Dinobot 2 to cry out in pain. Optimus, though mourning Depth Charge&#039;s loss, is relieved to know the threat of the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; has been dealt with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is, until the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; rises from the ocean, fully operational. [[Nemesis Part 2|To be continued...]]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ant-Bot not find own thorax with both hands and a road map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:—&#039;&#039;&#039;Waspinator&#039;&#039;&#039; gets in a decent dig in for once. Inferno drops him on his head for this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I said &#039;&#039;&#039;no!&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Megatron (BW)|Dragon-Bot]] command &#039;&#039;you,&#039;&#039; [[Sub-Commander]] [[Inferno (BW)|Kiss-Butt]]! Dragon-Bot not command Waspinator! Not any more! Waspinator sick of being evil. Sick of being Predacon! &#039;&#039;And&#039;&#039;, Waspinator especially sick of getting blown to &#039;&#039;&#039;scrap&#039;&#039;&#039; all the time! Sooo, Waspinator &#039;&#039;quit!&#039;&#039; As of &#039;&#039;now&#039;&#039;, which means [[Inferno (BW)|Ant-Bot]] and [[Quickstrike (BW)|Two-Head]] can just pucker their mandibles and plant [[Kiss|big, wet, juicy one]] right here on Waspinator&#039;s big...fat...stripy...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:—&#039;&#039;&#039;Waspinator&#039;&#039;&#039; finally stands up for himself...and gets blown to scrap by Inferno and Quickstrike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[Silverbolt has been injured in an explosion]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silverbolt&#039;&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Worry not, my love. &#039;Tis but a...scratch.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[Silverbolt&#039;s arm falls off]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus&#039;&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Maybe. But I think you&#039;re due some time in the CR chamber.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silverbolt&#039;&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Sir, I&#039;m fine. I&amp;amp;mdash;&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Blackarachnia&#039;&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Shut up and obey your commander, bone-brain.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[Silverbolt&#039;s head falls off]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silverbolt&#039;&#039;&#039;: &amp;quot;Yes, dear.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:—Silverbolt is pretty whipped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You have to stop Megatron! No matter the cost.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:—&#039;&#039;&#039;Optimus Primal&#039;&#039;&#039; telling Depth Charge what must be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hmm... impressive.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh, it is more than that, my malevolent minion. That is the most powerful Decepticon warship in Transformer history. The ship that shot down the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039; itself! THE &#039;&#039;NEMESIS&#039;&#039;! The &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:—&#039;&#039;&#039;Dinobot II&#039;&#039;&#039; compels &#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; to give his most dramatic exposition...in this episode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Raw energon! Right through your twisted spark! Take it! Take it straight to the pit, you SICKENING PIECE OF SLAG!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:—&#039;&#039;&#039;Depth Charge&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s final words before killing Rampage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
===Technical/Animation glitches===&lt;br /&gt;
* When Dinobot squeezes the piece of Rampage&#039;s spark he possesses to pacify his &amp;quot;half-brother&amp;quot;, his shoulder pads are missing. Also, the spark seems to float freely when it is released, in contrast to previous episodes where it was held in place by Dinbot&#039;s spark chamber.&lt;br /&gt;
* At the very beginning when Optimus is reciting, in the background you can see Cheetor, in his normal Transmetal body, walking with Blackarachnia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Continuity issue===&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; retelling of the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s crash and the Nemesis differs from any previous version. In the original cartoon, the Decepticons used the Nemesis&#039; tractor beam to lock into the Ark and it was the Autobot/Decepticon fight inside the Ark that caused it to crash  {{storylink|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1}} {{storylink|Microbots}}; in the [[Generation 1 (Marvel comic)|Marvel comics]], the Decepticons boarded the ship and Optimus &#039;&#039;deliberately&#039;&#039; crashed the Ark onto Earth {{storylink|The Transformers (comic issue)}}, with the Nemesis being left abandoned (the UK comics had [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] destroy it {{storylink|Target: 2006}}).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; is intentionally not a direct continuation of any specific continuity, instead seeking to treat all previous &#039;&#039;Generation 1&#039;&#039; stories as if they were Arthurian legend, this would imply that those accounts are not canonical in this series. Alternatively, Optimus could just have the details wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Continuity errors===&lt;br /&gt;
* The flashbacks to the battle between the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039; recounted by Optimus Primal and Megatron neglect to mention that the Decepticons boarded the &#039;&#039;Ark &#039;&#039; before the crash. This was probably done either to simplify the retelling, increase the significance of the &#039;&#039;Nemesis&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s involvement, or both. &lt;br /&gt;
* The bomb Megatron left behind as a trap for the Maximals has some very curious properties. It has enough power to severely damage Silverbolt and creates a powerful energy wave that is felt by the approaching Cheetor and Tigerhawk, who are miles away (even disintegrating a butterfly in the process). However, despite all of the above, Optimus and Depth Charge suffer absolutely no ill effects from the bomb, despite being at extremely close range and having very little time (or even room, given the terrain) to run for cover.&lt;br /&gt;
* How &#039;&#039;exactly&#039;&#039; did Megatron construct a bomb from scratch to begin with? With his base destroyed in the previous episode, it seems very unlikely that he would have the materials to create one on hand.&lt;br /&gt;
*Why would Decepticon engineers include a control panel usable by a race of beings that were 1/3(if that much) the size of the average robot-mode Decepticon in the design of their most powerful warship, especially since said race wouldn&#039;t come into existance until at least 4 million years after said ship was built?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transformers references===&lt;br /&gt;
*Megatron refers to Tarantulas as [[Unicron]]&#039;s spawn. While from the context this appears to have been a generic insult (equivalent to &amp;quot;bastard&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;son of a bitch&amp;quot;), convention-exclusive fiction like [[Primeval Dawn]] have depicted Tarantulas as a literal creation of Unicron.&lt;br /&gt;
*This is the first source to give the Decepticon vessel that attacked the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039; a name.&lt;br /&gt;
*Optimus Primal tells Depth Charge to stop Megatron &amp;quot;no matter the cost,&amp;quot; which echoes Optimus Prime in [[The Transformers: The Movie|the Transformers movie]] during the [[Battle of Autobot City|Decepticon siege of Autobot City]] on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Real-world references===&lt;br /&gt;
*Inferno calls Rampage a drone at least once in this episode. It is unknown whether the writers knew that a drone is a male ant whose main purpose is to mate with the queen, who in this case would be Megatron.&lt;br /&gt;
*When contacting the Maximals, Optimus encodes transmission &amp;quot;M Sipher&amp;quot;, a reference to [[Greg Sepelak]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Silverbolt&#039;s remark &amp;quot;Tis but a scratch&amp;quot; followed by the dismemberment of his arm could be a reference to the immortal line of the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Coincidently, the Black Knight is able to survive [[Waspinator| fatal mutilation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trivia===&lt;br /&gt;
* The death of Rampage is the only time in the series that a Maximal kills a Predacon (not for lack of trying).&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Nemesis&amp;quot; was originally going to be a three-part episode, but was later compressed to two. {{fact}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{episodenav |BW |season=3 |11 |prev=Master Blaster |next=Nemesis Part 1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The aliens send their powerful new emissary Tigerhawk to Earth to stop the continued disruption of the time stream.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:OtherVictories_BirthofTigerhawk.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Oh yeah, we still have these two guys.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Somewhere in the vast universe, two entities are discussing the experiment on [[Earth|&amp;quot;Nexus Earth&amp;quot;]]. Though the project was &amp;quot;sterilized&amp;quot;, there remains a threat. The entities then reveal [[Tigatron]] and [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]], then merge their bodies together, creating a new [[Transformer]]. The aliens inhabit the body and depart in a ball of energy, while two [[spark]]s follow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Judge Megatron.JPG|thumb|200px|right|Believe it or not, you may have better luck on [[Quintessa]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
At the [[Darksyde|Predacon base]], the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s are holding a &amp;quot;trial&amp;quot; for [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]]. [[Waspinator]] is the &amp;quot;defense&amp;quot;, [[Dinobot 2]] and [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] are the jury, [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] is taking the minutes, and [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] is the judge, not to mention the fact that he&#039;s all dressed up for the occasion. Quickstrike begs for mercy, saying he doesn&#039;t know what [[Tarantulas]]&#039; intentions for destroying the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; were, but offers to hunt him down for Megatron. Suddenly, the sensors detect an energy surge on a ballistic approach for the base. Tarantulas and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] both detect the surge as well and recognize that it can only be one thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The aliens are back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:OtherVictories_clash.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Flying Tiger, Hidden Dragon]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Predacon&#039;s automated defenses are ineffective against the anomaly, and Megatron orders the Predacons to abandon the base. Making contact, the energy ball destroys the Predacon base instantly. [[Optimus Primal]] heads for the base, fearing that the spark of [[Megatron (G1)|the original Megatron]] may have been destroyed, and sends [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] to assist. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the ashes of the Pred base, the alien Transformer appears and introduces himself as Tigerhawk, emissary of the [[Vok]]. He dispatches the other Predacons with ease, then sentences Megatron to death for his interference with the timestream. The two battle, but Tigerhawk is victorious. During the fight, Cheetor is incapacitated. As Tigerhawk prepares the killing blow, Optimus arrives. Tigerhawk greets him in a friendly manner, but asks him not to interfere. Optimus tries to explain Megatron&#039;s situation, but is entombed in the earth for his efforts. However, Tigerhawk is attacked by Tarantulas&#039; spider drones, which allows Tarantulas to drag him to his lair. Meanwhile, Cheetor is visited by the sparks of Tigatron and Airazor, who guide him to Tarantulas&#039; lair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Tarantulas death.JPG|thumb|200px|The most hardcore death of Beast Wars.]]&lt;br /&gt;
At the lair, Tigerhawk revives and claims to know Tarantulas. The mad scientist states that he intends to use Tigerhawk to destroy the [[Maximal]]s while he detonates the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039;. He also reveals why he wants to destroy it: Tarantulas and the [[Tripredacus Council]] are not descendants of the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s, but have &amp;quot;other origins.&amp;quot; This would allow them to control [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and conquer the universe. As Tarantulas activates the deprogramming device, the two Vok entities emerge from Tigerhawk and enter Tarantulas. The device then shoots a bolt of energy at Tarantulas, which throws him into a nearby [[Energon crystal]]. The crystal detonates, destroying Tarantulas and the two aliens in a freakish yet totally hardcore manner. Cheetor manages to drag Tigerhawk out, but is knocked unconscious when the lair explodes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Optimus locates Cheetor and Tigerhawk as the sparks of Tigatron and Airazor merge and enter the latter. Welcoming their old friends and new friend back, the Maximals depart for home...as Megatron watches on.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The aliens send their powerful new emissary Tigerhawk to Earth to stop the continued disruption of the time stream.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:OtherVictories_BirthofTigerhawk.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Oh yeah, we still have these two guys.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Somewhere in the vast universe, two entities are discussing the experiment on [[Earth|&amp;quot;Nexus Earth&amp;quot;]]. Though the project was &amp;quot;sterilized&amp;quot;, there remains a threat. The entities then reveal [[Tigatron]] and [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]], then merge their bodies together, creating a new [[Transformer]]. The aliens inhabit the body and depart in a ball of energy, while two [[spark]]s follow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Judge Megatron.JPG|thumb|200px|right|Believe it or not, you may have better luck on [[Quintessa]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
At the [[Darksyde|Predacon base]], the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s are holding a &amp;quot;trial&amp;quot; for [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]]. [[Waspinator]] is the &amp;quot;defense&amp;quot;, [[Dinobot 2]] and [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] are the jury, [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] is taking the minutes, and [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] is the judge, not to mention the fact that he&#039;s all dressed up for the occasion. Quickstrike begs for mercy, saying he doesn&#039;t know what [[Tarantulas]]&#039; intentions for destroying the &#039;&#039;[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]&#039;&#039; were, but offers to hunt him down for Megatron. Suddenly, the sensors detect an energy surge on a ballistic approach for the base. Tarantulas and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] both detect the surge as well and recognize that it can only be one thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The aliens are back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:OtherVictories_clash.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Flying Tiger, Hidden Dragon]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Predacon&#039;s automated defenses are ineffective against the anomaly, and Megatron orders the Predacons to abandon the base. Making contact, the energy ball destroys the Predacon base instantly. [[Optimus Primal]] heads for the base, fearing that the spark of [[Megatron (G1)|the original Megatron]] may have been destroyed, and sends [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] to assist. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the ashes of the Pred base, the alien Transformer appears and introduces himself as Tigerhawk, emissary of the [[Vok]]. He dispatches the other Predacons with ease, then sentences Megatron to death for his interference with the timestream. The two battle, but Tigerhawk is victorious. During the fight, Cheetor is incapacitated. As Tigerhawk prepares the killing blow, Optimus arrives. Tigerhawk greets him in a friendly manner, but asks him not to interfere. Optimus tries to explain Megatron&#039;s situation, but is entombed in the earth for his efforts. However, Tigerhawk is attacked by Tarantulas&#039; spider drones, which allows Tarantulas to drag him to his lair. Meanwhile, Cheetor is visited by the sparks of Tigatron and Airazor, who guide him to Tarantulas&#039; lair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Tarantulas death.JPG|thumb|200px|The most hardcore death of Beast Wars.]]&lt;br /&gt;
At the lair, Tigerhawk revives and claims to know Tarantulas. The mad scientist states that he intends to use Tigerhawk to destroy the [[Maximal]]s while he detonates the &#039;&#039;Ark&#039;&#039;. He also reveals why he wants to destroy it: Tarantulas and the [[Tripredacus Council]] are not descendants of the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s, but have &amp;quot;other origins.&amp;quot; This would allow them to control [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and conquer the universe. As Tarantulas activates the deprogramming device, the two Vok entities emerge from Tigerhawk and enter Tarantulas. The device then shoots a bolt of energy at Tarantulas, which throws him into a nearby [[Energon crystal]]. The crystal detonates, destroying Tarantulas and the two aliens in a freakish yet totally hardcore manner. Cheetor manages to drag Tigerhawk out, but is knocked unconscious when the lair explodes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Optimus locates Cheetor and Tigerhawk as the sparks of Tigatron and Airazor merge and enter the latter. Welcoming their old friends and new friend back, the Maximals depart for home...as Megatron watches on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Quotes==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ooooo, Waspinator &#039;&#039;like&#039;&#039; defense!  A little &#039;&#039;more&#039;&#039; defense and maybe Waspinator not get blown up all the time!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
: —- &#039;&#039;&#039;Waspinator&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;*&#039;&#039;gulp&#039;&#039; &amp;quot;Looks like this is my last round-up.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
: —- &#039;&#039;&#039;Quickstrike&#039;&#039;&#039; commenting on Predacon &amp;quot;justice&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Aheh-ahem!  Two-Head throw Megatron in lava pit. Megatron think Two-Head traitor. Want to &#039;&#039;slag&#039;&#039; Two-Head. Waspinator down with that!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
: —- &#039;&#039;&#039;Waspinator&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;&#039;&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;s &amp;quot;defense&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Predacons, your verdict?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[&#039;&#039;Rampage and Dinobot 2 point their guns at Quickstrike.]&lt;br /&gt;
: —- &#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I applaud your good intentions.  But we are &#039;&#039;through&#039;&#039; being lenient with traitors!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
