'''After the destruction of the alien machine and the death of Optimus, the remaining Maximals are left to pick up the pieces and fend off the Predacons... with some strange new upgrades.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Aftermath Megatron quantum surge.jpg|left|200px|thumb|That's odd, I don't remember ordering a glow-in-the-dark redeco]]
At their respective bases, both the [[Maximal]]s and the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s react to [[Optimus Primal/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]]'s death. The Maximals are in a state of shock, whereas the Predacons laugh, jeer and generally have a good time. However, these moods are short-lived. The destruction of the [[Planet Buster]] causes a [[quantum surge]] which very soon hits [[Earth|the planet]]. In the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'', [[Rattrap]] and [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] are affected by it in the control room, as is the unconscious body of [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] down below. The surge also severely rocks the [[Darksyde|Predacon ship]], causing [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] to fall into the CR pool while [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]], [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] and [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] catch the surge's full effect. Megatron is thrown onto the floor of the base, while Scorponok and Terrorsaur lose control of their hover platforms and collide into each other. The collision causes both of them to fall into the lava pit, where they are terminated. After the surge, Waspinator emerges from the CR pool, joyous to have survived. He sees Megatron in the shadows, having been upgraded by the surge into a new [[Transmetal]] body.

[[Image:Aftermath Rattrap Cheetor.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Look at my hands! Oh, sorry, Cheetor.]]
In the Maximal base, both Rattrap and Cheetor are startled at each other's new modes until each realizes the same has happened to himself. [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] suggests they both try out their new beast modes and vehicle modes; both end up crashing. [[Tigatron]] and Airazor go off on the hunt for the spiders who are partly responsible for Optimus Primal's death.

Under Tarantulas's control, [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] begins to leave the ''Axalon'' while he insists she bring his body along. Unbeknownst to them, the eyes of [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]'s severed head glow back online...

[[Image:Aftermath Rhinox Dinobot.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Who needs a Maximal Torture Chamber with him on your team?]]
Back upstairs, [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] and [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] come back online. Rhinox orders Rattrap to tell him everything. Dinobot then announces that he should be leader, but after a stern throttling by Rhinox, he backs down.

Blackarachnia and Tarantulas escape the base only to be intercepted by Tigatron and Airazor. However, help for the she-spider is on its way. Megatron is never above kicking somebody while they're down, so he brings a full Predacon assault (in the form of Waspinator) to join the Tarantulas-possessed Blackarachnia in an assault on the ''Axalon''. Airazor and Tigatron are blasted offline by Megatron. The alert sounds inside the ''Axalon'', so Rhinox sends the two new Transmetals outside while he and Dinobot try to set up the [[Sentinel (BW)|defenses]]. However, Inferno emerges into the room and immediately blasts Rhinox backwards using a missile, which prompts Dinobot into a physical brawl with the Predacon.

[[Image:Aftermath Megatron beast.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Shiny happy dino]]
Outside, Tarantulas forces Blackarachnia to retreat against her and Megatron's wishes. Waspinator battles Cheetor, much surprised that the "cat-bot" can fly. After a bit of a beating, Waspinator retreats. Following some more shooting, Megatron transforms into vehicle mode and charges at Rattrap, who transforms into beast mode and uses his tail to trip the Predacon. Megatron is not out of the fight yet, however, and he blasts Cheetor off the cliff. Cheetor transforms to flight mode to escape, but crashes into Rattrap. Megatron prepares to end the new bots.

Inferno and Dinobot are still locked in combat when Rhinox grabs Inferno and throws him out of the base lift. He then challenges Megatron with one of the Chainguns of Doom. Megatron realizes with only a broken Inferno in his army that he is no match for Maximals, so he calls a retreat.

Elsewhere, under one of the Planet Buster-generated storms, [[Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)|two stasis pods]] are shown lying in a barren area, their DNA scanners malfunctioning.

==Quotes==
"Yes, I am good, aren't I?" ''[smacks Waspinator]'' "But we can discuss my brilliance later. Now, there is work to be done." 
"What kind of work?" 
"The Predacon kind. We must defeat the remaining Maximals while they mourn their dear, departed leader. This will be the final battle!"
:—'''Megatron''' wastes no time...delivering exposition to '''Terrorsaur'''.

"I'm here, inside your pretty little head, controlling your pretty little thoughts."
:—'''Tarantulas''' makes pretty little threats against Blackarachnia.

"What's with you two?" ''[gestures toward pants area]'' "Is my gear box hangin' out or somethin'?"
:—'''Rattrap''', paragon of social graces...

''[Dinobot and Rattrap are about to have a fight]'' 
"''Enough.'' Stand down, Dinobot." 
"By what right do you command me? With Optimus gone, I should be—" 
''[Rhinox grabs Dinobot by the neck and picks him up]'' 
"I'm in a bad mood. Understand?" 
"Uh-huh."
:—'''Rhinox''' proves to '''Dinobot''' that Maximals can be scary too.

"New packaging. Same product. '''Losers.'''"
:—'''Megatron''', not impressed with the Transmetalized Maximals.

"...but if you ask me, the Beast Wars just got a whole lot weirder."
:—'''Rattrap''', as he watches a robot T-Rex with roller skates fly away.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*Waspinator's gun is whipped out of his hand by Cheetor, but moments later, he transforms fully, ''including'' his gun forming his Beast Mode's abdomen.
*Rattrap is seen dropping his shield (which acts as a hubcap for his wheels in beast mode) before Cheetor crashes into him, but, upon impact, both hubcaps are seen on his back.

===Foreign localization===
'''French'''
:*''Title:'' "'''Et le Combat Reprend'''" ("And the Battle Resumes")

:*''Title:'' "'''Contrecoup'''" ("Aftermath")

'''Italian'''
:*''Title:'' "'''Dopo l'esplosione'''" ("After the Blast")

:*''Title:'' "'''Las Consecuencias'''" (America, "The Consequences")

===Trivia===
*There are methods to the madness that is Transmetalization. All of the original ten Transformers who did not emerge from stasis pods on Earth would have been made into Transmetals. (This excludes Airazor, Blackarachnia, Tigatron, and Inferno.) However, Terrorsaur and Scorponok were killed while Waspinator, Dinobot and Rhinox were in CR chambers.
*Final appearances of Terrorsaur and Scorponok. They were going through Transmetalization at the time of death. This was in case the writers were to bring them back.
**They would come back in [[IDW Publishing|one continuity]], about 10 years after the fact.
*Waspinator was originally intended to die in this episode, but due to fan popularity and the fact the writers needed a character for comic relief, he was granted amnesty. This is somewhat reflected in Waspinator's line as he emerges from the CR chamber: ''"Waspinator is...'''alive'''! Hee hee!"''
*The recap of the last episode actually shows Optimus approaching the center of the moon before the explosion, a scene cut from the first season finale.
*While both ships survived the Planet Buster's attack, the Quantum Surge severely damaged their structures. The Darksyde is now more gray than green and the rear section of the fuselage has collapsed and bent. The Axalon's surfaces now look very deteriorated and the ship is bent/fractured at about the halfway point of the forward fuselage. This metal fatigue and damage may have played an important part in the destruction of the Axalon at the beginning of season 3.
* Inferno can survive getting shot point blank in the head. Awesome!
* Terrorsaur's death scene resembles that of the Terminator in ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day''.

'''Graham Burns''' is the bookish younger member of the Burns family. An expert engineer, his only problem is he's not the best at communication. Teamed with the [[Rescue Bot]] [[Boulder]], he should be able to put his skills to good use, provided they can work together.

==Fiction==
===''Rescue Bots'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Shannon McKain]] (English)
Graham was at the dedication of the dedication of the new rescue robots with his brother [[Kade Burns|Kade]] and sister [[Dani Burns|Dani]] when an alert came through of a fire at the [[Griffin Rock Natural History Museum|natural history museum]]. He headed there in his new bulldozer, though the robot seemed oddly concerned about spoiling the plaza's aesthetics when he tried to move the planters. That night, the trio were further startled when their vehicles went off on their own to chase a [[Trex|robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'']]. At [[Cody Burns|Cody]]'s suggestion, Graham used his bulldozer-bot to extract a jail cell from the police station so Dani could use her helicopter to trap the [[dinosaur]]. It was only later that [[Charlie Burns|Chief Burns]] revealed that the four robots were aliens. {{storylink|Family of Heroes}}

With this revelation, Graham found it difficult to work with Boulder because he couldn't work out what a lowly human could offer a technologically-advanced alien, and even Cody's attempt to get them to bond failed. When they had to deal with [[Mount Magma]], Cody gave Graham advice over the radio and got him to work together to locate the volcano's main control, and later map the underground tunnels to track the lava flow as it headed for the bunker. {{storylink|Under Pressure}}

Graham and Boulder tried to stop [[Doc Greene]]'s out-of-control car with an improvised spike strip which proved ineffective. After the rescue, Dani fitted [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] with a scoop claw, resulting in the pair hogging all the rescues, including clearing a road which Boulder and Graham were about to do. Graham and Kade tried to take their concerns to Dani, but it was only after they had to come to her and Blades's rescue that the scoop claw was put in storage. {{storylink|Hotshots}} When the [[Lobster and Technology Festival]] was attacked by [[flobster]]s, Graham and Boulder helped by scooping them up after Doc Greene's new compound removed their ability to fly. {{storylink|Flobsters on Parade}}

The pair assisted in preventing a potentially disastrous spill of hazardous materials. When [[Huxley Prescott]] caused everyone to believe aliens were invading, they paid a visit to [[Perkins (RB)|Mr Perkins]]'s farm to find there were only cows there. After the power went out, Graham visited the [[Griffin Rock power plant|power plant]] and determined that Prescott's [[SETI]] dish was the cause of the problem. {{storylink|The Alien Invasion of Griffin Rock}} After a [[Whiskers|lion]] and some lemurs escaped from [[Griffin Rock Zoo|the zoo]], Graham and Boulder used some lemur feed to lure the lemurs back to their enclosure. {{storylink|Walk on the Wild Side}}

[[Image:CodyOnPatrol Graham with laser pointer.jpg|thumb|right|280px|Time to bust some ghosts!]]
Though their attempt to stop [[Harrison (RB)|Mr Harrison]]'s heli-pack ride didn't go so well, the pair later helped quell some rampaging [[Nanite|nanites]]. {{storylink|Cody on Patrol}} During repair work on a bridge, Graham watched in amazement as an idiot tried to jump the gap on a motorcycle and fell short. He and Boulder took part in a rescue operation when the bank was in danger of falling into a sinkhole, and Graham stuck his arm into a sewer pipe to retrieve the [[Rubber Ducky]] that was blocking it. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}} During a snowfall, Graham stood watch so the Rescue Bots could have some fun in the snow. When the weather machine they were using to create the snow went out of control, he and Boulder helped Doc Greene take the machine back to his lab for repairs. {{storylink|Christmas in July}}

Graham, Kade, and Dani used excuses to get out of the annual Burns fishing trip, but later changed their minds and arrived on the pier to discover they'd missed out on the [[shark submarine|giant mechanical shark]]. {{storylink|Deep Trouble}} When the island's technology ran loose as a result of the mainframe being hacked, Graham and Boulder had to help get Mayor Luskey out of the town hall. {{storylink|Return of the Dinobot}} The arrival of [[Thaddeus Morocco|Doctor Morocco]] and his [[MorBot]] resulted in the entire team being stood down, after they failed to compete against the newcomer. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}} As the Rescue Bots tried to adjust to their new life, Graham found himself being subjected to [[Chase (RB)|Chase]]'s pea soup and had to politely decline. He and the team finally got back into action when they had to attend a fire at the lab, and the discovery of new information about Morocco resulted in the team being reinstated for good. {{storylink|The Reign of Morocco}}

[[Image:GriffinRockTriangle Graham goes swimming.jpg|thumb|left|230px]]
Graham went to the [[Hall of Inspiration]] to do a safety check and took Cody and Boulder along. That night the hall was broken into, and when the team attended to it, Graham, Kade and Dani lost their robot partners. Graham and Dani monitored [[Griffin Rock dam]] from the fire station after it put out an electronic alarm. {{storylink|Small Blessings}} After Cody found a lead about a particular tunnel in the cave network, he enlisted Graham and the bots to help him find it. They discovered a small station in which Graham and Cody briefly got caught in an airlock, and it was only through quick thinking that they got out. A videotape they found led the team to venture into the [[Griffin Rock Triangle]] where they found [[Anna Baranova|Professor Baranova]] still living in the crashed ''[[Midgard]]'' and helped her complete her mission to seal the methane vent that had been causing the ship sinkings. {{storylink|The Griffin Rock Triangle}}

After the Chief went off to check the [[Griffin Crest]] security, Graham, Dani and Kade had to head there to rescue three of the Rescue Bots after they were caught in the [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] field. {{storylink|Rules and Regulations}} When a storm hit Griffin Rock, Graham helped secure the town and searched for Cody on the ''[[Darby Eva]]'' after his brother was swept out to sea. {{storylink|The Lost Bell}} Graham accompanied the team on a mission to [[Wayward Island]] to investigate a meteorite. After Heatwave, Boulder and Chase were infected by a virus from the meteorite, the Burns family returned to the island, but Graham was knocked overboard when the boat hit rocks, and had to be rescued by [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]. He subsequently got to repair the ''Darby Eva''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> engine so they could get back to Griffin Rock. {{storylink|Bumblebee to the Rescue (RB)|Bumblebee to the Rescue}}

Having applied to [[Gremsky Technical Institute]], Graham received a letter signifying his acceptance, though he was unsure as to whether he'd go or not. During a subsequent call out when they had to deal with a rampaging blob of [[Squilsh]], Graham talked about going to Gremsky with Boulder. He and Boulder used their engineering skills to stop the blob, after which Graham ultimately realized that he'd be able to learn more by being part of the team. {{storylink|You've Been Squilshed}} Following the disappearance of most of the townsfolk, Graham dissected a mechanical bug Chase caught and discovered it contained a quantum [[subspace]] wormhole generator. Before he could expound on his plan to deal with the problem of finding where it was transporting people to, he was teleported to a cavern under Griffin Rock where he found the rest of the townspeople. Though he took part in an effort to dig themselves out, ultimately they were rescued by the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Countdown (RB)|Countdown}}

Graham and the rest of the team attended a call out to the bank where they encountered what appeared to be a ghost. The town was soon overrun by them, and Graham attempted to use Doc Greene's [[Spectral Vapor Filter]] on one, to limited effect. It later turned out the ghosts were simply [[hologram]]s anyway. {{storylink|The Haunting of Griffin Rock}} During a Kade-initiated race, Graham and Boulder managed to demolish the [[Horace Burns]] statue. When Chase and the Chief went missing, Graham and the rest of the team searched all night, and were eventually led to the lead mine. He and Dani accompanied Boulder and Blades into the mine to search, finding Chase and helping him break out. {{storylink|Little White Lies}}

After an earthquake struck the town, forcing the team to go into rescue mode, Graham traced the source of the tremors to a location in the tunnels under Griffin Rock. There, they located a storage area of inventions, including a huge subwoofer. Graham eventually tracked the wireless signal controlling it back to the jukebox in the Hall of Inspiration collection. {{storylink|Shake Up}} After Cody got a repulsor badge, he assisted Graham in changing a tire, but his use of the device started getting out of control. Graham and the rest of the team eventually had to save him from the overloading badge. {{storylink|Rescue Boy}}

{{spoiler|It's a Bot Time|September 18, 2012}}
Graham got help with his engineering homework from Boulder. The pair attended the testing of a time machine, and Graham's partner was transported back to 1939 with the other Bots. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}}

{{spoiler|Bot to the Future|September 18, 2012}}
In an alternate reality created when history was changed, Graham and his brother and sister were mechanics. The trio constructed the [[Mobile Headquarters]] to combat the ruling Doctor Morocco's MorBots, though in the end they didn't use it until they needed to get a group of time traveling Rescue Bots back to their time machine. {{storylink|Bot to the Future}}
