'''Unbeknownst to the Maximals, the Predacons have captured Nyx—but Megatron's brutal approach to interrogation leaves Dinobot questioning his allegiance.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:Dinobot and Tarantulas (IDW 2021).jpg|thumb|300px|I'm an artist he's an actor.]]
As night falls on the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]'', the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s have jury-rigged an electrical torture device for their [[Maximal]] prisoner [[Nyx]] and allowed [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] to take charge of their interrogation session. Initially, the Predacon leader puts on an air of civility, but makes his intentions clear—if Nyx doesn't answer his questions, he'll turn her over to [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], who will surely find a creative way to break her. While the spider-bot enthuses at the prospect of a new guinea pig, [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] excuses himself from the proceedings and scowls at the sound of Nyx's screams...

On the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'', [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] worries that Nyx still hasn't returned from her scouting mission. [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] suggests that the excitable pilot might have just gotten distracted and lost track of time; when Cheetor suggests organising a search party, however, his captain shoots him down—they can't risk sending ''more'' Maximals into unknown territory after nightfall. Primal suggests that Cheetor try to establish a link with the [[stasis pod]]s currently in orbit around the planet to expand their sensor range. Cheetor agrees... but leaves grumbling under his breath that he should've just gone to search the jungle by himself. As Optimus and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] head down a different corridor, Rhinox wryly points out that Optimus has lucked himself into the middle of the adventure he so craved: they're shipwrecked on an unfamiliar planet with a crew member missing in action. Rhinox commends his captain for keeping a level head in the midst of the crisis, but can offer no theories regarding Nyx's disappearance—she ''could'' have simply gotten lost and hunkered down for the night, but ultimately they have no way of knowing for certain.

Despite the terrible torture the Predacons inflict upon her, Nyx refuses to crack—when Megatron offers her another chance to give up what she knows, Nyx defiantly mumbles that no one will remember him, just like [[Megatron (G1)|his namesake]]. Incensed by the jibe, the Predacon leader cranks the torture device to maximum and blasts her again with a near-fatal surge of electricity. The agonizing sound finally prompts Dinobot to step in; he does his best to try and talk his leader down, even pointing out that a dead prisoner can't give them any useful information, but his sensible advice only only goads Megatron into a towering rage. Furious at this insubordination, Megatron grabs Dinobot by the throat over the warrior's protests that a worthy foe deserves an honorable death... but it's Tarantulas who finally speaks up and breaks the stalemate. Nyx might not be talking, but her ''silence'' speaks volumes—if she were the sole survivor of the crash, he deduces, then she'd have no comrades to protect and no reason to stay silent. Pleased by this hypothesis, Megatron rewards Tarantulas... by allowing him to the freedom to use Nyx for his experiments. The mad scientist cackles that she'll make an excellent test subject for his prototype inventions, while Megatron forgives Dinobot for his outburst, but delivers a final ultimatum: do ''not'' defy his will again.

Some time later, Nyx comes to on the desert ground just outside the ''Darksyde''. At first, she writes the whole experience off as a bad dream... until Megatron's voice draws her attention to the sight of all seven Predacons, gathered just outside the ship to watch her execution. Thinking quickly, Nyx tries to transform and fly off... only to fall flat on her face when her systems malfunction, trapping her in [[robot mode]]! As her [[onboard computer]] warns that she ''must'' transform or face deactivation, Tarantulas reveals his prototype [[Transformation Lock Lens|transformation lock lens]]: as long as he trains its beam on her, she'll be unable to transform or even enter protective [[stasis lock]]. Nyx tries to fight back, but discovers her onboard weapons have been sabotaged; with no other option but to make a run for it, the Predacons gleefully take potshots at the Maximal until she finally succumbs to the ambient [[energon radiation]] and collapses. [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] invites Dinobot to get in on the action before the fun's over; Dinobot obliges, and lines up a shot with his [[Optic weaponry|eye lasers]]... only to blast Tarantulas's invention to pieces! Relieved, Nyx uses the last of her strength to change back into her [[beast mode]] as the Predacons turn on the troublemaker. Megatron orders his loyalists to kill the traitor, but the honorable Predacon is a canny fighter: he first takes out Tarantulas, then [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] and Terrorsaur, and finally punches out [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]]. When [[Skold]] leaps into the fray to kill the traitor, Dinobot explains that he's anything but—by turning on his comrades, he has ''not'' betrayed himself or his ideals, and it's not too late for Skold to realize that she too can aspire to be more than just an amoral thug. With one final condemnation of Megatron, Dinobot manages to hurl the little Predacon at Megatron's face, then speaks aloud the code to force the ''Darksyde'' into full lockdown, trapping all the Predacons inside their own ship!

While the other Predacons gripe, Megatron grudgingly admits that Dinobot's treachery is almost impressive. Still, he muses, they won't be trapped in their ship forever—and when Megatron gets his hands on his former underling, there will be another execution...

"Good evening, my dear, and welcome to the '''''Darksyde'''''. I am '''Megatron''', and we're going to have a wonderful conversation, you and I."
:—'''Megatron''' interrogates Nyx

"Meantime, hey, little elbow grease'll take your mind off things!" 
"I've been working on the sensor systems all day, Rattrap! My elbows are '''fully greased'''." 
"Promise me you'll '''never''' say those words out loud at a metadisco."
:—'''Rattrap''' and '''Cheetor'''

"When you go dark, Maximal, it will be for good... and then I'll take you apart, piece by piece, and '''consume''' your tender circuits, cooked to perfection in an energon bath. It'll be so much fun!"

:—'''Tarantulas''' and '''Dinobot'''

"I have not betrayed myself, or the principles I believe in. I've just stopped pretending that Megatron and the others believe in anything '''I''' can respect. It's not too late for you, Skold. You can still be better than they are. A Predacon worthy of '''respect'''."
:—'''Dinobot''' vs Skold

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* While interrogating Nyx, Megatron refers to the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'''s "cowardly attack" upon the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''; he can't know it, but Nyx was the Maximal responsible for spearheading the space battle against Megatron's stolen starship. Indeed, her impulsive decision to ram the Darksyde in [[Savage Landing Part 1|issue #1]] makes her the one responsible for stranding ''all'' of them on the planet.

===Transformers references===
* Nyx notes that "history barely remembers [[Megatron (G1)|the original Megatron]]"—while many modern ''Beast Wars'' spinoffs have depicted the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s as just one generation removed from, and sometimes contemporaries with, the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s, the original ''Beast Wars'' cartoon was much more ambiguous, and the characters treated their ancestors as quasi-mythical figures of ancient history. That said, the [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] of this universe ''is'' apparently still alive and kicking...
* The [[Transformation Lock Lens|transformation lock lens]] appeared in the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode "[[The Probe]]", an invention of [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]]'s designed to trap its victims in their [[beast mode]]s. Its origins and appearance are faithfully replicated for this comic, right down to the dark red electrical blasts it uses to keep its victims mode-locked, but Tarantulas uses it for the ''opposite'' purpose: here, he keeps Nyx trapped in her unshielded [[robot mode]] until she succumbs to the planet's [[energon radiation]] and collapses.
* Tarantulas enthuses at the prospect of dissecting Nyx and consuming her circuits; he expressed a similar desire to kill and eat a captured [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] in the ''Beast Wars'' episode "[[The Web]]".

===Errors===
* Nyx uses the "maximize" [[activation code]] to transform into her [[alternate mode]]. This is the ''opposite'' of its intended use, however; in the television show, the Beast Warriors used it to transform into their robot modes, and transformed into their beast modes by simply saying... well, "beast mode".

===2021 ''Beast Wars'' comic===
[[File:SavageLandingPart1-AxalonBridge.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]

Nyx was part of [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]'s skeleton crew aboard the Maximal research vessel ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'', and served as the ship's helmsman. While en route to [[H'nkshanaar-4]] as part of a routine [[protoform]] delivery mission, the crew recieved a transmission from Maximal leader [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], who warned them that a group of [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] separatists had stolen a [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|valuable relic]] and fled aboard a [[transwarp]]-capable warship. In the ensuing battle, Nyx's evasive maneuvers helped the lightly-armed ''Axalon'' keep up with the heavily-armed ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''—and when the Predacon ship jumped through time, Nyx and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] used a transwarp lock to follow it across time and space and re-emerged above an alien planet. With their weapons disabled thanks to a surprise attack, Nyx made a last-resort move by simply ramming the ''Axalon'' into the Darksyde, but this unconventional tactic wound up pushing ''both'' ships directly into the planet's atmosphere. The two ships crash-landed on opposite ends of a lush valley and knocked their passengers into [[stasis lock]]; once the ship's artificial intelligences had rebooted, however, it detected toxic levels of [[Energon radiation|energon radiation]] outside and reformatted the five Maximals into [[beast mode]]s based on the local lifeforms. Nyx awoke as a fruit bat, and enthused about her new wings to an unimpressed [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]. {{storylink|Savage Landing Part 1}}

Nyx was working on repairing the Axalon's hull when Optimus Primal suggested she explored the planet for more information about the environment. While Nyx was out exploring, [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] attacked him, Nyx's agility was useful until Terrorsaur convert into his robot form and shot her in the back, allowing him to capture Nyx and take her back to the ''Darksyde''. {{storylink|Savage Landing Part 2}}

{{spoiler|Savage Landing Part 3|May 7}}
[[File:SavageLandingPart3-Nyx.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
When Nyx regained consciousness, Megatron warned her that [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] would torture her if she didn't reveal information about her crew's state. Megatron then tried to persuade her to give up the information, but when Nyx mocked him about being forgotten in history Megatron increased his torture, which would have killed her had [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] not intervened to try to reason with Megatron. Tarantulas eventually realized that since she had remained silent the entire time, then the Maximals had survived, as being the sole survivor would mean she had no comrades to defend and no reason to be quiet. Nyx eventually went outside the ''Darksyde'' where the Predacons were waiting to watch her die. She tried to transform only to discover that Tarantulas' [[Transformation Lock Lens|transformation lock lens]] had locked her in her robot form. Nyx tried to escape from the Predacons before she succumbed to the energon radiation. Only after Dinobot destroyed the lock lens did she quickly change back into her beast mode and fly away. {{storylink|Savage Landing Part 3}}

I really don't think there's any reason to consider the Hot Shot in this show the same character as the Prime toy. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 10:25, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:And why is that? [[User:Notirishman|-west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 10:29, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:They're both based on UT Hot Shot. Of course they're the same character. We consider RB and Exiles Blurr the same character, and that connection is much looser. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 10:31, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::Meh. I was against that one at first too until RB Blurr talked about Velocitron on the show. I just don't think "let's do a Rescue Bots version of the guy from Armada" includes the Prime toy. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 10:36, 27 December 2017 (EST)
::Under normal practice, they'd go on the same page. But there's an established precedent for doing it differently with Aligned, with RID Sideswipe and Grimlock being split out from their "older" counterparts. If we're gonna be consistent with it, RB Hot Shot ought to be split out, since like those two, he couldn't be the same guy who fought in the war? [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 10:35, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::I think the difference as I see it is that Grimbo and Sideswipe are only loosely based on earlier instances of their "archetype", and aren't very similar to the WFC guys in any sense beside their names and altmodes. There's no way that Hot Shot isn't going to be basically the same guy, even with an incompatible history. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 10:41, 27 December 2017 (EST)
::::I'm not sure he can be "basically the same guy" as Prime Hot Shot when Prime Hot Shot is barely "a guy" in the first place. He's a toy who showed in a convention script reading. Where he was a Wrecker, which this guy surely won't be. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 10:49, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::::...Yeah. That's... my point. RBA Hot Shot is gonna be An Alignedverse Version Of UT Hot Shot. Barring extenuating circumstances, under our classification system that would make him the same guy as Prime Hot Shot, even if he doesn't share the same exact history. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 10:55, 27 December 2017 (EST)
::::::No, I get it, I'm just against it, in this particular case. I mean I think an argument can also be made that under our classification system you could put this show's Whirl and FOC Whirl on the same page, but this article isn't doing that, and I didn't think it should for Hot Shot either. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 11:04, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::::::I don't think that's comparable. Whirl's only real similarity that we know of is being a blue helicopter; both Hot Shots, meanwhile, are based on The Hot Shot Archetype. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 11:15, 27 December 2017 (EST)

'''While looking for crashed pieces of a space satellite, Wedge pulls off a spectacular rescue at Dig Fest and becomes the unlikely star of the show.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Medix (RB)|Medix]] switches off a commercial for [[Dig Fest (event)|Dig Fest]] as it's too loud, however [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] fills the new void with an exclamation as he's found his scrapbook of his [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] highlights. Hot Shot voices his desire to take the other recruits to a match, though [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] isn't keen on the fame Cube brings. [[Heatwave (RB)|Heatwave]] arrives with a new mission for the recruits—a top-secret satellite has crash landed while coming in for maintenance, and the recruits have to recover it before anyone finds the Cybertronian tech [[Boulder]] installed on it.

The recruits head out to the desert near [[Milford]] and start searching. They quickly find two of the satellite fragments, but when they also spot the lights of Dig Fest in the distance, they decide they need to check it out in case the remainder of the satellite ended up there. They sneak into a side room in the arena, and despite Wedge wanting to move on, the other recruits stay to see the dancing construction equipment. When one of the diggers goes out of control however, Wedge is forced to act and stop the machine. The MC naturally assumes Wedge is a machine driven by a human, and Wedge has to bluff his way through an interview. [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]]'s scanner picks up Cybertronian tech, and the other recruits realize that the last piece of satellite is in the arena itself.

The recruits attempt to signal Wedge, first via the comms and then via signal flags. The MC invites Wedge to take part in a freestyle event, and to the surprise of the other recruits, Wedge accepts. The event starts, and two of the other vehicles are eliminated when Wedge outdoes them with stunts. The other recruits observe that the mission is in danger of being blown, and Wedge himself crashes while doing an extra-crazy stunt. Wedge returns to the side room where the other recruits start berating him. When they check his injuries however, he turns out to be completely fine—his crash was merely an act so he could pick up the piece of satellite. The others are impressed he resisted the call of fame, but as Wedge says, he can always win Dig Fest next year.

'''Nyx goes up against Terrorsaur when the Maximals attempt to survey this strange new world, but neither side is aware that their arrival has provoked a mysterious group of aliens.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:Rhinox (IDW 2021).jpeg|thumb|left|250px|''The atmosphere contains high concentrations of methane, carbon monoxide, and fluorine. Population approximately nine billion... all [[Predacon (BW)|Preds]].'']]
On the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s bridge, [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] studies the confusing data obtained from the ship's scanners and reaches a disturbing conclusion: ''nothing'' about this world's geography adds up. Deserts coexist with tundras, mountains float, and the deposits of extremely potent [[energon]] make no geological sense—none of this has any real impression on [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], however, who's more interested in using his new [[beast mode]] to munch on some native fruit. Ignoring Rhinox's objections, Rattrap points out that it's much faster to use their new bodies to metabolize organic matter instead of processing the local Energon into something usable... and neither of them is aware that they're being watched! From their own dimension, a trio of [[Vok]] observe the [[Maximal]]s; while [[Pakak]] finds them intriguing, [[Tonrar]] fears the aliens will contaminate their careful experiments and advocates for their immediate destruction. By analyzing Rhinox's memories, Pakak determines the presence of a second group, and the trio materializes inside the crashed ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]'' to investigate the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s. Pakak wonders if the two groups might be rivals, but Tonrar argues that ''two'' warring factions will surely interfere with their plans. The debate comes down to [[Tikaani]], who offers a compromise: they will monitor the two factions for the time being... but if their antics prove too disruptive, then the Vok will simply sterilize the planet and begin again. The matter settled, the three aliens return to their home dimension. [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]], briefly glimpses the flash of light, but after a conversation with [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]], he writes it off as a sign of him going stir-crazy.

While Terrorsaur goes out to get some air on a recon mission, Scorponok pays [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] a visit; since the crash, the Predacon leader has recused himself in his quarters, still completely engrossed in his efforts to decode the secret of the stolen [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]]. A computer programmer himself, Scorponok suggests that ''he'' could try—and Megatron angrily throttles his subordinate in response. Scorponok sputters that his fellow Predacons are growing restless, but Megatron hurls him against the wall and reminds him that they cannot attack until [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] has finished surveying the terrain. Scorponok stalks off and vents his frustrations out on [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] by shouting at him to go conduct another reconnaissance sweep, oblivious to Waspinator's groans that he only just got back...
On the other side of the valley, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] checks in with [[Nyx]] as she works on repairing the ''Axalon'''s hull. Although she's successfully boosted the ship's scanners to get a better picture of their immediate surroundings, the Maximals still don't know much about the rest of the planet, and Optimus suggests taking a break from repairs by using her new wings to scout out the area. Though Nyx is initially hesitant to leave her post, Primal gently reminds her that sometimes old-fashioned methods are the best, and so the Maximal flier gleefully transforms and takes to the sky.

Back at the Predacon base, [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] enters Tarantulas's makeshift lab to inquire about his progress in mapping the surrounding area, but discovers that the Predacon scientist has already shifted priorities to tackle a different conundrum. While [[Skold]] was calibrating some sensors, she accidentally scanned the ship first and detected inexplicable unspace energy signatures all over the ''Darksyde''. ''This'', Tarantulas asserts, is far more important than mere geography, but Dinobot doesn't share that opinion and orders him to abandon his research. Tarantulas snaps that Dinobot has no authority; there can be no chain of command on a ship full of rogues who follow Megatron so long as it is convenient. If Dinobot wants data, he can wait for Terrorsaur to return—and in the meantime, he can get out of Tarantulas's lab.

Out in the wilderness, Nyx takes in the sights and sounds of this strange new world as she gets the hang of her new beast mode. Weaving through floating mountains, swooping through jungles, and soaring with flocks of birds, she's taken by the planet's natural beauty, but when she tries to contact the ''Axalon'' she discovers that the ambient [[energon radiation]] has jammed all long-range communications. Worse yet, Nyx discovers that she's not the ''only'' Cybertronian out on patrol when Terrorsaur spies the little Maximal and divebombs her! Nyx's agile bat form lets her evade Terrorsaur's snapping beak until Terrorsaur transforms into [[robot mode]] and opens fire—when one of the shots nails her in the back, Terrorsaur transforms back into beast mode and catches her unconscious body in his talons...

As night falls, Megatron's many attempts to decrypt the disk have proven futile. When Terrorsaur arrives at his quarters, the interruption nearly pushes him over the edge, but the Predacon leader soon composes himself when he sees that Terrorsaur has brought the Predacons a prisoner: Nyx!

==Quotes==
"You gotta try this. It's some kinda '''fruit''', I think. That's the ones with the '''seeds''', right?"
:—'''Rattrap'''

"What are you looking at?" 
"Er... Wazzpinator was heading for rationzz-"

"But Wazzpinator juzzt got back..." 
:—'''Scorponok''' and '''Waspinator'''

"Hey, Nyx! I think I figured out how get another two meters of '''energon shielding''' around the ship, I'll just need your help to—" 
"She's not here, Cheetor." 
"But my arm won't fit into that access panel." 
"So let's go ask Rattrap." 
"And get fruit garp in the circuits? It'd be better to '''crash''' again."
:—'''Cheetor''' and '''Optimus Primal'''

"Missed '''again!''' Have you ever heard the definition of '''insanity?''' Trying the same thing and hoping for a different result? Come on." 
"You know what? You're '''right'''. Luckily, I got '''other''' skills to '''fall back''' on."
:—'''Nyx''' versus '''Terrorsaur'''

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* Scorponok describes himself as one of the top codebreakers in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. This line suggests a slight deviation from the postwar status quo in ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]''; as discussed in "[[Sparkwar Pt. II: The Search|The Search]]", the Iacon of that universe was abandoned during the [[Great Upgrade]], and the city of [[Cybertropolis]] was constructed over its remains.
* Unlike the original show, [[size changing|mass-shifting]] appears to be a factor here as Rattrap and Nyx are noticeably much smaller in beast mode, closer in scale to real rats and bats.
* Terrorsaur appears to be in free-fall when he's shooting Nyx, indicating that, unlike the original show, he can't fly in robot mode.

===Transformers references===
* Rhinox flags up the planet's inconsistent geography; observing an image of a savannah and a snowy forest side-by-side, he notes the existence of "biomes that shouldn't coexist side-by-side". The original ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars cartoon]]'' featured a similarly wonky setting; in several episodes ("[[Fallen Comrades]]", "[[The Trigger, Part 1|The Trigger]]"), the characters were able to walk from a tropical jungle somewhere in eastern Africa to the icy [[Northern Sector]] in mere hours.
* The enigmatic [[Vok]] formed a major part of the original ''Beast Wars'' mythos: over the course of the show's first season, the shipwrecked Transformers gradually discovered more and more anomalous structures and artifacts scattered across the planet. In the season one finale, they contended with the Vok themselves when the aliens attempted to sterilize the planet using their powerful [[Planet Buster]] weapon. Much like the cartoon, the Vok inhabit an extradimensional realm and consider the mechanical visitors a threat to their mysterious "experiments" playing out on the planet. ''Unlike'' the show, however, these three Vok—[[Pakak]], [[Tikaani]], and [[Tonrar]]—possess individual names and personalities.
* [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] mentions that he's one of the top codebreakers in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. Although his cartoon counterpart ''did'' once engineer a computer virus in the episode "[[Gorilla Warfare]]", this trait probably owes more to the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' prose stories, which depicted him as a talented computer programmer.
* While conducting aerial reconnaissance, Nyx discovers that the planet's abundant [[energon radiation]] has severely reduced the range of her communications system. The Beast Warriors faced this problem quite often in early season one, most prominently during "[[The Web]]".
* Page nineteen features the return of Megatron's iconic [[Rubber Ducky]]. The Predacon commander was awfully fond of this squeaky toy in the original cartoon, and his bathtime companion made several prominent appearances during the cartoon's third season.

===Real-world references===
* Although a [[flying mountain]] of raw energon featured prominently in the ''Beast Wars'' episode "[[Power Surge (episode)|Power Surge]]", this comic depicts an entire "range" of floating mountains. Unlike the barren landmass in the cartoon, these mountains feature ample greenery, dangling vines, and waterfalls pouring off of their slopes—in fact, they probably owe something to ''{{w|Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar's}}'' [[fandom:james-camerons-avatar:Hallelujah Mountains|iconic airborne landscape]].
* As Nyx evades Terrorsaur, she defines his insanity as "trying the same thing and hoping for a different result", a famous quote that's usually misattributed to [[Albert Einstein]].

===Errors===
* In the opening roll call, Scorponok’s name is mispelled "Scorpnok."
* The blurb for the next issue, "Tarantulas’ shocks everyone!", features an erroneous apostrophe.

===Other trivia===
* Backmatter for this issue features the debut of the "Maximal Mailbag" feature, a [[letters page]] that highlights some of the positive fan feedback to last month's issue and some Nyx and Skold fanart.

'''Cody takes the Recruits on a camping trip. When he tells them a spooky campfire tale, Hot Shot gets spooked. When they return to the Academy Hot Shot hears strange sounds and comes to the conclusion that the 'Zombie Ghost Bear' has followed them back.'''

==Synopsis==
The recruits trudge with Cody through the woods on their way to a camp site. Cody explains that a nature trek is a part of the camping experience. They arrive at the camp site which has a magnificent view of a valley. Fast forward to that evening as they sit around a fire and Cody asks who's ready for a spooky story. [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] is unenthusiastic, but Cody proceeds with his story about the [[Zombie Ghost Bear]]. During the story, Hot Shot gets so frightened, he transforms and runs into a nearby tree. They retire for the night as they have to hike back the next day.

Back at the academy the next day, the recruits thank Cody for the camping trip. Hot Shot hears a strange scraping noise, but the other recruits don't hear anything and laugh at the idea it might be the Zombie Ghost Bear. Later Hot Shot hears a creaking noise which he blames on Hoist until he realizes Hoist had been gone at the time. Later still, the recruits are having a [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] game when Hot Shot is startled by a howling noise. The other recruits are concerned by Hot Shot hearing things but they're all called to [[Boulder]]'s science class. Afterwards, the other recruits worry about Hot Shot, but [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] asserts Hot Shot isn't scared of anything. This is undercut as Hot Shot walks in and immediately dives for cover upon hearing a roar. The recruits are called to Hero Hall for a sim mission.

As the recruits try to clear out a collapsed tunnel before a train arrives, they realize Hot Shot is missing. They're able to stop the train in time, and find Hot Shot searching for the source of the roaring noise that is drowning out his audio. [[Medix (RB)|Medix]] examines him and finds his comm transmitter is missing, knocked loose when he ran into the tree during the trip. They return to the woods where Hot Shot finds the transmitter, and they ''all'' now hear the roaring sound. As it turns out, nearby a tree has almost toppled into a ravine with a bear cub atop it, and momma bear is trying to hold it up. The recruits spring into action and rescue the bear cub, returning it to its mother. [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] is disappointed that the Zombie Ghost Bear isn't real, while Hot Shot asserts he's not scared of anything—which is undercut when he's startled by a squirrel and drives into a tree.

I really don't think there's any reason to consider the Hot Shot in this show the same character as the Prime toy. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 10:25, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:And why is that? [[User:Notirishman|-west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 10:29, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:They're both based on UT Hot Shot. Of course they're the same character. We consider RB and Exiles Blurr the same character, and that connection is much looser. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 10:31, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::Meh. I was against that one at first too until RB Blurr talked about Velocitron on the show. I just don't think "let's do a Rescue Bots version of the guy from Armada" includes the Prime toy. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 10:36, 27 December 2017 (EST)
::Under normal practice, they'd go on the same page. But there's an established precedent for doing it differently with Aligned, with RID Sideswipe and Grimlock being split out from their "older" counterparts. If we're gonna be consistent with it, RB Hot Shot ought to be split out, since like those two, he couldn't be the same guy who fought in the war? [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 10:35, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::I think the difference as I see it is that Grimbo and Sideswipe are only loosely based on earlier instances of their "archetype", and aren't very similar to the WFC guys in any sense beside their names and altmodes. There's no way that Hot Shot isn't going to be basically the same guy, even with an incompatible history. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 10:41, 27 December 2017 (EST)
::::I'm not sure he can be "basically the same guy" as Prime Hot Shot when Prime Hot Shot is barely "a guy" in the first place. He's a toy who showed in a convention script reading. Where he was a Wrecker, which this guy surely won't be. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 10:49, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::::...Yeah. That's... my point. RBA Hot Shot is gonna be An Alignedverse Version Of UT Hot Shot. Barring extenuating circumstances, under our classification system that would make him the same guy as Prime Hot Shot, even if he doesn't share the same exact history. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 10:55, 27 December 2017 (EST)
::::::No, I get it, I'm just against it, in this particular case. I mean I think an argument can also be made that under our classification system you could put this show's Whirl and FOC Whirl on the same page, but this article isn't doing that, and I didn't think it should for Hot Shot either. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 11:04, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::::::I don't think that's comparable. Whirl's only real similarity that we know of is being a blue helicopter; both Hot Shots, meanwhile, are based on The Hot Shot Archetype. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 11:15, 27 December 2017 (EST)

I really don't think there's any reason to consider the Hot Shot in this show the same character as the Prime toy. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 10:25, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:And why is that? [[User:Notirishman|-west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 10:29, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:They're both based on UT Hot Shot. Of course they're the same character. We consider RB and Exiles Blurr the same character, and that connection is much looser. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 10:31, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::Meh. I was against that one at first too until RB Blurr talked about Velocitron on the show. I just don't think "let's do a Rescue Bots version of the guy from Armada" includes the Prime toy. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 10:36, 27 December 2017 (EST)
::Under normal practice, they'd go on the same page. But there's an established precedent for doing it differently with Aligned, with RID Sideswipe and Grimlock being split out from their "older" counterparts. If we're gonna be consistent with it, RB Hot Shot ought to be split out, since like those two, he couldn't be the same guy who fought in the war? [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 10:35, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::I think the difference as I see it is that Grimbo and Sideswipe are only loosely based on earlier instances of their "archetype", and aren't very similar to the WFC guys in any sense beside their names and altmodes. There's no way that Hot Shot isn't going to be basically the same guy, even with an incompatible history. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 10:41, 27 December 2017 (EST)
::::I'm not sure he can be "basically the same guy" as Prime Hot Shot when Prime Hot Shot is barely "a guy" in the first place. He's a toy who showed in a convention script reading. Where he was a Wrecker, which this guy surely won't be. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 10:49, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::::...Yeah. That's... my point. RBA Hot Shot is gonna be An Alignedverse Version Of UT Hot Shot. Barring extenuating circumstances, under our classification system that would make him the same guy as Prime Hot Shot, even if he doesn't share the same exact history. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 10:55, 27 December 2017 (EST)
::::::No, I get it, I'm just against it, in this particular case. I mean I think an argument can also be made that under our classification system you could put this show's Whirl and FOC Whirl on the same page, but this article isn't doing that, and I didn't think it should for Hot Shot either. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] ([[User talk:KilMichaelMcC|talk]]) 11:04, 27 December 2017 (EST)
:::::::I don't think that's comparable. Whirl's only real similarity that we know of is being a blue helicopter; both Hot Shots, meanwhile, are based on The Hot Shot Archetype. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 11:15, 27 December 2017 (EST)

:''Megatron is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:CyberverseMegatron.jpg|thumb|300px|Don't tell him he doesn't have his back cannon, or he'll shoot the text down below!]]

'''Megatron''' arose from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial]] arenas, and has never forgotten the lessons that he learned there. Not only is he utterly ruthless in combat, unafraid to fight dirty, and able to brutally put down any would-be pretenders to the throne, but in his new career as [[Decepticon leader]] he's able to effortlessly spin rhetoric, work a crowd, and carefully indulge his theatrical side to gain supporters. But despite his natural charisma, Megatron dreams of a new era when all of Cybertron is united under one banner—an era when he'll no longer have to rely on the disparate, dysfunctional personalities that comprise the [[Decepticon]]s to enforce his will upon the galaxy.

Megatron may be a tyrant, but he's no slavering monster—he knows when to advance, when to retreat, and even respects his former friend [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] enough to enter into occasional peace talks. And, somewhere far beneath his exterior, there still pulses the [[spark]] of a humble 'bot who just wanted what was best for Cybertron... a trait that's both his greatest strength and his biggest shortcoming.

[[File:Megatron - Cyberverse - Megatron Is My Hero promo.jpg|thumb|left|250px|There's a little of him in all of us.]]
Eons ago, Megatron was a [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial champion]] on Cybertron, besting numerous powerful opponents, including [[Devastator Maximus]] whose [[brain module]] he crushed. {{storylink|Trials}} While Megatron's raw strength served him well in the gladiatorial pits, it was his charisma which netted him a large following of admirers from all flocks of life. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Among his followers was [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]], a file clerk who began to author Megatron's speeches to his following. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At a rally, Megatron dubbed his movement '[[Decepticon]]s', and swore to create a new Cybertron that would bring equal rights to all citizens. As his power base grew however, Megatron's personality took a darker turn, eventually declaring [[Great War (Cyberverse)|open war]] on Optimus and his own followers. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

Among Megatron's early acts was the execution of the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} Once [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] had captured Optimus Prime, she intended to ship him to Megatron until [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] freed his leader. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} Megatron selected [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] to act as a spy for the Decepticons. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}} To sell the ruse, Megatron followed him to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]] where he attempted to slay the traitor to serve as an example to others. Before he could however, [[Maccadam]] stormed into the room and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], the mere sight of it cowing Megatron into retreating. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Over the course of the war, Megatron would meet with Optimus several times to discuss a peaceful resolution to the conflict but the two were unable to come to a satisfactory compromise. {{storylink|Parley}} Megatron also befriended the poetic Decepticon [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

[[File:Cyberverse Decepticon Plankowners (Cyberverse - Megatron Is My Hero).jpg|thumb|300px|"Imagine seven million people all wanting to die together."]]
Once the Decepticons had taken [[Vector Sigma]], Megatron sought to use the supercomputer to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a new generation of loyal Decepticons. When Bumblebee discovered this, he was brought before Megatron who sadistically tore out the scout's [[voice box]] to prevent him from reporting what he'd learned. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Despite Megatron's best efforts, the Autobots did manage to learn of his plan, managing to seize the AllSpark and send it through a [[space bridge]]. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}}

In the year [[2007]], Megatron tracked the AllSpark to [[Earth]], and sent [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]]'s [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] squad there to retrieve it. Catching wind of this intel, the Autobots on Cybertron sent [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] to retrieve the artifact first only for her to come across the missing Bumblebee. Upon learning that her friend was suffering from amnesia, the [[cityspeaker]] attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to help him make sense of his memories. Among them was an undamaged memory of Megatron; however she was unable to access it before the patch malfunctioned and shut her out. {{storylink|Fractured}}

Once Windblade had begun making headway in fixing Bumblebee's mind, the scout began to remember Megatron in the earliest days of his revolution causing him to idealize the Decepticon leader as a hero. With Windblade's help however, he was able to remember the tyrant Megatron had become, being left to wonder how he could have ever considered the Decepticon someone to look up to. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Mad Megs (Cyberverse - Maccadam's).jpg|thumb|left|300px|"Now back there if you got a problem you tell Wally. And he tells everyone in town, brings it out in the open, no more problem."]]
After Slipstream had consistently failed in her mission, [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] hacked into Bumblebee's cortical psychic patch and trapped the scout in a false memory that painted him as a Decepticon spy aboard the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] who had sabotaged the ship at Megatron's direct order. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

When the [[Decepticon fleet]] invaded Earth, Megatron led the [[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|''Nemesis'']] to the organic planet. {{storylink|Eruption}} {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}} The Cybertronians eventually became known to [[human]]kind. During a battle against Windblade, Megatron was caught on camera tripping over a powerline, winning the dubious honor of #3 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} During this time, he also dueled Optimus Prime at an industrial complex, their battle being observed by [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]]. {{storylink|Spotted}}

[[File:Cyberverse - Bad Moon Rising - Megatron Going Tank.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Just kids having fun.]]
Eventually, Megatron decided that Earth wasn't worth conquering and ordered a [[Planet Smasher]] built on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. When a battle broke out, Megatron first used his tank mode to shoot up the Autobots before Optimus Prime engaged him in melee combat, the Autobot managing to score a nasty gash on Megatron's right leg, prompting the tyrant to call Starscream for air support. Though his order went unheeded, Megatron managed to escape the battle and make it to the [[force field]]. After tossing Starscream around, he demoted him by making Slipstream the new leader of the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]]. When the Autobots brought down the Planet Smasher's force field, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to retreat into a lunar bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}}

In the bunker's control room, Shockwave activated his back-up plan of using [[planetary engine]]s to slam the moon into the Earth so they could find the AllSpark in the debris field. Content with the plan, Megatron tried to order Slipstream to guard the [[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|''Nemesis'']] before his wound got the better of him. As he tried to get back up, a furious Starscream attacked him, firing all his [[missile]]s at point-blank range before beating the tyrant into [[stasis lock]], ordering that he be left behind when the control room was set to self-destruct. Surviving the explosion, though left heavily charred by it, Megatron made his way back to his flagship and enacted a swift and brutal vengeance against Starscream, ending with him firing the full might of his [[fusion cannon]] at the Seeker's back, deactivating him. After briefly regarding Starscream's prone form, he dumped the traitor's body out onto the lunar surface and ordered the Decepticons away from the moon. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Ordering his flagship down on an island, Megatron broadcasted a propaganda video to the human race regarding Starscream's demise, before he offered the position of [[second-in-command]] to whichever one of his troops brought him the head of Optimus Prime. When [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]] brought him the bound [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Megatron tried to use the Autobot as a bargaining chip with Optimus only for the youth to break free from his bonds and escape the ''Nemesis''. Though Megatron targeted the Autobot with the onboard weapons, he was distracted by the sight of a creature jumping through a [[GroundBridge]]. {{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}

After every GroundBridge had been mapped, the AllSpark was located in [[Africa]], Megatron stepping through a portal to collect it. Finding not only that his troops had not accompanied him but Optimus waiting for him, Megatron briefly dueled his opposite before they were both greeted by Cheetor, Guardian of the AllSpark who subjected both leaders to the "the trials" to determine who was worthy of the AllSpark. After a failed knowledge trial, Cheetor granted each leader [[spark armor]], Megatron's formed from a helicopter, and they came to blows. Megatron eventually got the upper hand, pinning Optimus down for execution only for the Prime to hold him at gunpoint, being willing to kill them both. As this happened, no one noticed a still alive Starscream sneak in and steal the AllSpark until it was too late. Though he managed to save face with Optimus, Megatron returned to the ''Nemesis'' to commence a search for Starscream. {{storylink|Trials}}

As Shockwave tried to locate the missing Vector Sigma, the ''Nemesis'' came under attack from the Autobots, Megatron sending out his entire [[drone]] force to meet them. As Megatron dueled Optimus on the hangar deck, Cheetor loudly announced that the AllSpark was not on the ship, forcing Megatron to reveal the truth and cursing Cheetor, whose lunar GroundBridge had healed Starscream's otherwise fatal injuries. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}

Agreeing to peace talks, Megatron had the ''Nemesis'' return to [[Mount St. Hilary]] for negotiations. Despite their soldiers' idiosyncrasies, Megatron and Optimus made initial strides only for discussions to abruptly end when Grimlock threw Shockwave through a wall and onto the negotiation table, Megatron ordering his troops away. {{storylink|Parley}}

When the ''Nemesis'' returned to its island, it came under attack from Starscream's [[scraplet]] horde. Fighting his traitorous second on the bridge, Megatron was paralyzed by the beasts but managed to send out a garbled distress signal. When Cheetor defeated Starscream and broke the paralysis, Megatron allowed the Autobots to go free. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}} As the ship was slowly repaired, Megatron chose to motivate Shockwave to speed up the process by threatening to replace him with Soundwave. Megatron soon came under attack from Shockwave's severed hand before the scientist himself arrived, presenting Megatron with a [[drone controller]] that he could use to control Starscream's creatures. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When Shockwave explained the perfected drone controller, the ''Nemesis'' came under attack from [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]]. Unamused, Megatron told the bombastic Autobot to go play somewhere else. Soon afterwards, a still alive Sky-Byte arrived, recounting the gloriousness of the civilizations he'd destroyed before requesting the Decepticons' aid to destroy Jetfire (offering Megatron the head). Though an appealing prospect to Megatron, he denied to get involved in favour of continuing their search for the AllSpark. Jetfire soon returned, now clad in spark armor, and abducted Megatron. When Optimus called to reveal he'd had a similar encounter with Sky-Byte, Megatron directed everyone to meet a colosseum. Encouraging the two arch-enemies to settle their feud once and for all, Megatron amusedly watched Jetfire and Sky-Byte kill each other even as their fight unearthed magma deposits. When Jetfire got the upper hand, Megatron encouraged the Autobot to strike the killing blow only for him to retreat back to the ''Ark'' so that Optimus' wounds could be tended to. As Sky-Byte climbed out of the hole, Megatron held him a gunpoint and forced him to reveal the AllSpark's location. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}
[[File:Cyberverse I Am The Allspark Megatron.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When Sky-Byte led the Decepticons back to the GroundBridge nexus, Megatron again found the Autobots had beaten him there before an AllSpark empowered Starscream arrived, arresting everyone's motor functions and forcing them to bow before him. Unimpressed by the Seeker's pettiness, Megatron openly mocked his former second's incompetence and failing streak before the Seeker began extracting all their [[spark]]s. Salvation came when Optimus Prime unleashed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] on Starscream, blasting the AllSpark out of him. Quick to recover, Megatron retrieved the artifact only to be assaulted by the now feral scraplets, losing his hold on it. Megatron soon found himself fighting Grimlock, with their duel destabilizing the chamber. Though Megatron managed to initially kick the Dinobot away and make a last-ditch effort to get the AllSpark he was blindsided by the recovered Grimlock who sent him hurtling down a chasm. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

Detecting the launch of several [[Autobot shuttle]]s, Megatron ordered the ''Nemesis'' to meet them, deploying several [[Decepticon scout ship]]s to engage the smaller crafts. Though the Autobot ships were quickly destroyed, the AllSpark was not found in their debris field. Fortunately for the Decepticons, Sky-Byte had seen through the ruse and launched a one-bot attack on the ''Ark'', giving the ''Nemesis'' enough time to intercept. Ordering the ''Ark'' destroyed, Megatron unleashed the full might of the ''Nemesis'' on its Autobot counterpart only for Cheetor to heal it with the AllSpark allowing the nimbler ship to slip past. To prevent the Autobots from entering Earth's [[space bridge]], Shockwave used a hard-light [[hologram]] to simulate its destruction, the ''Ark'' instead rocketing off into deep space. Pleased with Shockwave's ploy, Megatron ordered the ''Nemesis'' through the portal and to Cybertron. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

Megatron eventually managed to convert the [[Threshold of the Well]] into his personal fortress and capture [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]], forcing her to send out a false distress call to the ''Ark'' by threatening to offline [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]]. When the Autobot ship emerged from Cybertron's space bridge, Megatron praised the Autobot femme before rallying his troops for battle. {{storylink|The Crossroads}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}}

As the ''Ark'' entered the atmosphere, Megatron ordered it destroyed via a [[laser snare]] before the Autobots revealed themselves to still be alive, having anticipated the attack. Ordering the whole of his army into action, Megatron led the charge in the final battle of the Great War, initially providing artillery with [[Alpha Strike]] before he squared off against Optimus. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}} Optimus eventually managed to push past Megatron, only for the Prime to discover the scraplet trap that Megatron had laid. Pressing his advantage, Megatron pinned his foe against a wall before he called in upscaled, war-ready versions of [[Shockwave's drones]] to surround the Autobots. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

However, the Autobots managed to push past the drones, just as they both destroyed Vector Sigma and returned the AllSpark to Cybertron's core. Though Optimus declared this the end of the Great War, Megatron refused to surrender, and ordered Shockwave to destroy the AllSpark. While Shockwave was able to corrupt the artefact, Cheetor sacrificed himself to re-purify it, bringing life and peace back to Cybertron. Enraged, Megatron lunged at Optimus only to be sent flying back into his own scraplet trap. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

This would not be the end of Megatron, however. When the [[Quintesson]]s invaded Cybertron, Megatron was among the Transformers captured and subjected to their virtual reality as his spark was drained. Within the simulation, Megatron was Grand Marshal of a parade that celebrated his victory over the Autobots. When [[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]] broke free, he found Megatron's body and tried to physically free him from the loop to no avail. {{storylink|The Dead End}} Perceptor managed to free the Cybertronian race by hacking into the parade's source code and introducing a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]], everyone retreating from the compound to Maccadam's. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

Even after it was found that the Quintessons were draining the AllSpark to gestate their new [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]], Megatron refused to fight alongside the Autobots. {{storylink|The Alliance}} Sulking in [[Iaconus]]'s stasis hold, Megatron was approached by Dead End who brought news that the Quintessons had the technology to traverse the [[multiverse]]. Eager to steal the [[multiverse drive]] and conquer other realities, Megatron joined in the attack on the Quintesson ship. When the group found the drive, they were confronted by the Scientist whom Megatron promptly shot dead only for the alien to reveal multiple backup bodies. Contemptuously blasting a path through them all, Megatron led [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] and Dead End to the Judge's escape ship where the two Decepticons threw out the Autobot before sailing away into the multiverse. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Travelling eternity, Megatron reformatted himself into a Cybertronian vehicle mode and gained the ability to manipulate exotic energy. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}} In one universe, Megatron encountered [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|a version of himself]] that had won the Great War. Horrified by his counterpart, Megatron stole his Matrix of Leadership, losing an optic in the process, and fled back to his native reality with his counterpart's servants, [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] and the [[Insecticon (Cyberverse)|Insecticons]]. {{storylink|Silent Strike}} Arriving back home to find that Starscream was the new Quintesson Judge, Megatron combined the power of his stolen Matrix with its local counterpart, their energy overwhelming Starscream and finally killing him. Knowing that his alternate self would come looking for him, Megatron declared a ceasefire and ordered the Autobots to one half of Cybertron while he and his forces would occupy the other. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

As Megatron began his preparations for the arrival of "the Other One", Bumblebee and [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] were discovered in Decepticon territory. Though Megatron was ready to execute them for this, Optimus pointed out that the Decepticons' holding of Windblade constituted its own treaty violation. Not having the time to deal with this, Megatron agreed to release the Autobots. {{storylink|Enemy Line}} When the former Autobot [[Wildwheel]] began making his way through Decepticon territory, Megatron confronted him when he caused a ruckus while riding on [[Kickback (Cyberverse)|Kickback]]. Hearing that Wildwheel wanted Optimus, Megatron led him to the border, across which he could find his former commander, and offered the turncoat a spot in the Decepticons. If he survived. {{storylink|Wild Wild Wheel}} To make ready for the coming fight, Megatron assigned Dead End and Astrotrain to construct a weapon capable of blasting its targets to [[Transwarp|unspace]]. {{storylink|Rack 'n' Ruin 'n' Ratchet}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Megatron.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Megatron has learned from his old enemy of using the Matrix but failed.]]

As the battle neared, Megatron attempted to have the spirits of the alternate [[Thirteen]] aid him to no avail. Despite acquiring a handheld version of the dimensional ray from Astrotrain, the Insecticons had decided to cut their losses and fled Cybertron. Returning to the control room, Megatron ordered the dimensional shields raised when the Other One's [[Perfect Decepticon]]s began teleporting in. Soon afterwards, the Autobots arrived, Optimus claiming that Megatron's Matrix had to be destroyed only for the tyrant to call in his favour for aid before the master race of Decepticons materialized. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

After explaining that the invaders were Perfect Decepticons albeit under the command of the Other One, Megatron bestowed multiversal energy on his troops, allowing them to defeat the invaders. When another wave teleported in, Megatron blasted them to unspace using his personal dimensional ray. Lowering his guard, Megatron was then attacked by the Other One when he arrived. Disarmed of his new weapon, he was mortally wounded by his stronger counterpart, who soon telekinetically ripped the Matrix from his body, deactivating him. Megatrons last words were an encouragment towards Optimus to defeat his alternate self. {{storylink|The Other One}}

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-08'''
**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Mega Shot"
**''Accessories'': Missile
:A second mold for One-Step Changer Megatron features an Action Attack which extends - but does not launch - a red blast effect from his cannon. His transformation consists of flipping his tank rear to the front to release his arms and chest. Inexplicably a large part of this mechanism on his underside is painted silver while the rest of the figure is flat grey plastic. It's possible this is due to the fact it was cast in the same red plastic as his cannon parts.

*'''Megatron''' (1-Step Changer, 2020)
**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Mega Shot"
:This Megatron is an extensive retool of the original ''Cyberverse'' One-Step Changer, transforming into a Cybertronian tank as seen in the third season. The retooling includes a duel fusion cannon action attack, which slings both tank mode barrels over his shoulders and into firing position.

*'''Megatron''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Mace"

:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Megatron is a Deluxe-sized mold that transforms from tank to robot mode in 9 steps. Pushing the switch on his back raises his left arm while activating his launching "Fusion Mace" gimmick, which launches his flail with a short string, which must be retracted manually. Due to the simplified transformation, Megatron's arms end up sticking out from his tank mode, and his hips & thighs are visible at the front, making his crotch ''vulnerable'' in vehicle mode.

: His lower legs have a tendency to fall off, as they are held in with nearly flat plastic nubs. The red paint on his mace arm has a tendency to flake with transformations, as does the black paint on the back of his hips.

*'''Megatron (Cybertronian Mode)''' (Warrior Class, 2019)
**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Mace"

:This Warrior Class Megatron is a redeco/retool of the figure above, featuring Cybertronian-based parts (mostly on the legs), and a double-barreled Fusion Cannon for extra firepower, which results in his vehicle mode resembling [[Brawl (WFC)|''War for Cybertron'' Brawl]]'s tank form. Deco-wise, his thighs, and the Action Attack switch are molded in black plastic, and he features additional pink paint apps on his torso and arms.

:As with current Transformers toys, this item is first released at Hong Kong Toys"R"Us shops before Hasbro would announce them.

*'''Megatron''' (Ultimate Class, 2018/2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Fusion Cannon Megatron'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': July [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-07'''
**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Mega Shot"

:''Cyberverse'' Ultimate Class Megatron is a roughly Leader Class-sized toy that transforms from a heavily G1-inspired robot to tank in around eleven steps. He comes with a "Fusion Mega Shot" Action Attack gimmick,<ref name=io9>[https://io9.gizmodo.com/these-new-transformers-cyberverse-figures-are-fantastic-1823007404 These New Transformers Cyberverse Figures Are Fantastic Callbacks to the Original '80s Toys] at io9.gizmodo.com</ref> which unfolds the cannon into an elongated pink barrel when the button to his left is pushed, reminiscent of a similar attack used by [[Megatron (Movie)|his live action counterpart]]. Additionally, he has an autotransforming head reveal activated when his waist is swing down, though his arms still need to be in turret mode for it to work correctly. Due to this feature, he has no neck swivel, despite the depiction in his stock render.

:Megatron is unusual for his size in lacking elbows. Otherwise, he features ratcheted swivels and outward hinges in his hips, hinged knees, and shoulders with forward and lateral joints. Despite his Fusion Cannon being permanently attached to his arm, his right fist still has a covered-up hole for 5 mm pegs. Due to his transformation scheme, Megatron can also achieve a "transformational mode" like his Scout Class toy.

:Unfortunately, some of the hips' ratcheting gear teeth had a tendency to snap off after many poses, which also forces Megatron to slightly lean forward, especially when he's in his Action Attack position.

:This toy is one of the items that was released as part of Hasbro's Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box.<ref>https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546</ref> Megatron also saw a re-release in the third wave.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Megatron.jpg|upright=2|thumb|Figure comes with corpse of ''Cyberverse'' Spinister.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Elite Class, 2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Battle Rotor Megatron'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': October ???, [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-19'''
**''Spark Armor'': Chopper Cut

:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Megatron is a smaller, Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden new mold with more articulation that transforms from robot to a tank that is evocative of his Warrior Class toy, complete with ''vulnerable robot mode crotch'' in tank mode. He comes with his signature Fusion Cannon and a "[[Chopper Cut]]" Spark Armor accessory that is modeled after an attack chopper that can form battle armor in robot mode. Like all Elite Class toys, the accessory also comes with a unique built-in helmet. When flipping down the piece with the alternate head while attaching the Spark Armor, a spring-loaded gimmick is activated causing the propeller to spin and two additional arms to flip out, one with a built-in mace and the other you can attach the included Fusion Cannon to. This configuration causes the original robot arms to dangle awkwardly at the sides, but this can be remedied by bending the arms at the elbows to a 45-degree angle and rotating the lower arms until the fists point straight towards the back, streamlining the look of the armored robot mode. Much like the later Deluxe Class figure below, Megatron himself has a removable Fusion Cannon.

:In November 2019, Megatron was released as one of TakaraTomy Mall's ''Cyberverse'' "Christmas Set" offers along with Grimlock.

====Deluxe Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-2018-Deluxe-Class-Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|[http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Transformers Rad, Rad Robotank]]]
*'''Megatron''' (Deluxe Class, 2019)
**''Build-a-Figure part'': Maccadam's torso
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[August]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''02'''
**''Accessories'': Fusion Cannon, 2-piece effect part, 2 missile pods.
**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Mega Shot"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)#Deluxe Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Megatron is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He also comes with an 2-piece effect part that is compatible with his Fusion Cannon and 2 missile pods that go on his turret sides and the sides of his legs.

:Megatron suffers from a number of design flaws: Some of his joints are loose (notably the head), while the arms and legs are prone to popping off during transformation. Early prototypes of the figure, as well as some promotional renders, gave him a smug-looking smirk while the final figure has a more neutral expression.

:In Japan, Megatron was released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he was intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-29" ID Number) with a February 2020 release date. Like the rest of the figures, he is released in a windowless, monochrome packaging.

====Battle Call====
*'''Megatron''' (Battle Call Trooper, 2020)
**''Accessories'': Fusion cannon, body armor, scythe, blade weapon,

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'''s Battle Call subline, the Trooper Class Megatron is a roughly deluxe-sized figure and can transform into a Cybertronian tank. This toy's transformation scheme and engineering are based on Megatron's Deluxe class toy, but simplified a bit. Unusual for a toy of this size, the tank mode does not feature any rolling wheels.

:Like his sub-line's brethren, Megatron features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, wherein if you flip the on-switch on his shoulder and shout really loud at him (or just blow on his torso), the electronic light in his chest glows slightly brighter and sometimes flashes. His armor's helmet is molded to resemble Galvatron. He includes two blades that can fold down into scythes, and a green arm blade that can be mounted on 5 mm ports on his body (with a gnarly skull molded into it).

*'''Megatron''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Megatron is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]-esque play feature, he includes a small helicopter (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy, albeit in grey rather than purple) that can be separated from its propeller and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor.

===Burger King===
*'''Megatron''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Oddly enough released just one month before the aforementioned Happy Meal toy, Burger King's take on Megatron is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of some purple helicopter parts and a detachable propeller on his back. His hips and arms are articulated, making him the only one of the four ''Cyberverse'' Burger King figures with all three points of articulation being independently available.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Megatron-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Megatron's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design (at right) also used for his [[Megatron (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*Megatron speaks with a peculiar accent, somewhere between Irish and American. Perhaps this is the [[Tarn (polity)|Tarnian]] accent his [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|IDW incarnation]] was known for?
*Megatron's mace on the toys are pink, similar to [[:File:Mtmte2 shermandam.jpg|the Generation 1 cartoon's purple]]. The actual cartoon coloration in ''Cyberverse'', however, is red. This is similar to how on Optimus Prime's toys his axe is coloured orange, but in the cartoon is actually blue.
*The Japanese dub gives ''Cyberverse'' Megatron a similar personality to the Japanese dub version of ''Beast Wars'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]. Unsurprising, considering they're voiced by the same guy. This could be deliberate, as the Japanese dub of Optimus Prime is voiced by the Japanese dub actor of [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]].
*An unproduced concept saw Megatron's left forearm open into a large blaster.

'''Optimus Primal and his crew pursue a group of Predacon criminals across time and space to recover a stolen relic, and find themselves stranded on a mysterious planet.'''

==Synopsis==
On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the [[Tripredacus Council]] receive a transmission from the ambitious [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)|Galavar]], who explains his plan to steal a valuable [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|golden disk]] from the [[Maximal]] [[Wheeljack Ministry of Science|Science Ministry]]. His heist is as ambitious as it is audacious: under cover of night, [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]], [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]], and [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] rappel into the ministry's main hall and easily dispatch the [[Maximal Command Security Force|Maximal security guards]]—though Dinobot, who feels that there's no honor in killing defenseless foes, fails to convince his fellow Predacons to simply stun their victims. At the same time, [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]], [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], and [[Skold]] break into the [[Great Shipyard]] in [[Vos (polity)|Vos]] and sabotage almost every [[transwarp]]-capable vessel before stealing the Maximal warship ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''; before Cybertron can mount a coordinated response, they'll have a head start to flee into deep space, travel through time, and decode whatever secrets the disk possesses. Council members [[Ram Horn]] and [[Cicadacon]] don't see the wisdom in this bold plan and order him to stand down, but Galavar tells the three that he doesn't ''need'' their permission—he's already done it! So taken is he with his triumph that he's adopted a new name; like his [[Megatron (G1)|namesake]], the newly-christened "[[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]" gloats that the Council will soon kneel before ''him'' before he abruptly cuts the feed. The brazen power play infuriates Ram Horn, but [[Sea Clamp]] and Cicadacon advise patience: Galavar could never play the long game, and ''that'' is why the Tripredacus Council will outmaneuver the upstart and capitalize on his success... or failure.

[[File:SavageLandingPart1-AxalonBridge.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Far away, aboard the starship ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'', [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] delivers a status report to his old friend [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] as they spar in the ship's gym. Despite his recent promotion to captain, Primal yearns for some real adventure and idly wonders what would happen if they used the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s transwarp drive to explore time as well as space, though Rhinox gently reminds him that transwarp technology is strictly regulated to prevent any temporal contamination. Primal grouses that [[Maximal Defense Command|Maximal Command]] ''deliberately'' posted him to a dull [[protoform]] delivery mission to get him to fall in line, but before they can finish their match, helmsman [[Nyx]] contacts the pair to inform them that they're receiving a priority transmission from Cybertron. On the ship's bridge, the crew receives word of the attack from [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], who warns them that the Predacon separatists will assuredly use their stolen ship to flee through time. Optimus quickly realizes why Ironhide's hailing the skeleton crew of a lightly-armed science vessel to do something, and the Maximal leader confirms his suspicions: with the rest of Cybertron's transwarp fleet out of commission, they're the only ones close enough to respond in time.

Optimus orders his crewmembers to their stations; while [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] briefly wonders why the Predacons haven't already jumped to the past, [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] reminds him that the Predacons need time to bypass the access codes to their stolen ship and flew out to this remote region of space to do it. With a few minutes before the ''Darksyde'' approaches their position, Rhinox readies a last-resort transwarp lock, while Cheetor brings their weapons online... moments before Rattrap reports that their scanners are detecting the incoming vessel. When the ''Darksyde'' races past, Optimus brushes off Rhinox's suggestion to hail the Predacons and instead orders his crew to intercept the vessel and take out their engines. On the ''Darksyde'', Skold reports that they've got a ship on their tail, and Megatron commands his Predacons to open fire. Although the ''Axalon'' outmaneuvers their attacks thanks to Nyx's evasive maneuvers, their sensor-jammers mean that Cheetor can't get a clear shot at the engines before Tarantulas cracks the transwarp drive—but as he enters the coordinates from the golden disk, the scientist can't help but wonder why these coordinates seem oddly familiar. Aboard the ''Axalon'', Rhinox warns that the Predacons are warming up their transwarp drive and are getting ready to make their final escape. The only way to stay on their tail is to lock onto their transwarp signal, but it's a risky gambit: with no way of knowing where exactly the ''Darksyde'' is going, the risky maneuver could very well tear their ship to bits without the right midflight adjustments. Nyx is determined to bring the Predacons to justice, however, and Optimus orders them to make the link; when the ''Darksyde'' then jumps to transwarp, the ''Axalon'' gets dragged along with them into transwarp space! Megatron is reluctantly impressed by their bravado but mulls that they'll have to destroy them on the other side—though Dinobot has to first stop the impatient Terrorsaur from firing on them in transwarp, lest he accidentally destroy ''both'' ships.

Seconds later, the ''Darksyde'' rematerializes somewhere far away, over an unfamiliar green planet; with a few seconds until the ''Axalon'' reappears, Megatron orders Terrorsaur to ready weapons; the ''Darksyde'' promptly blindsides the other ship when it rematerialises, scores two direct hits, and incapacitates their weapon systems. In desperation, Nyx simply rams the ship straight into the ''Darksyde'' in the hope of pushing the other ship into the atmosphere—but the plan works ''too'' well, and sends ''both'' ships plummeting towards the planet's surface. With only minutes before impact, Rhinox realizes what must be done and jettisons their cargo of [[stasis pod]]s into orbit in the hopes that they might someday recover them, moments before both ships crash-land on opposite sides of a lush valley, and hit the ground hard enough to knock their passengers into [[stasis lock]]. It only takes a few moments for their artificial intelligences to reboot, then set about rebuilding the damaged Cybertronians... but deadly levels of [[energon radiation]] prompt them to activate their [[DNA scanner]]s, analyze living creatures and fossilized remains, then rebuild the Maximals and Predacons into techno-organic [[beast mode]]s. The Maximals soon awaken in their new forms, and while Nyx's overjoyed at the sight of her new wings, Optimus consults the ship's computer and learns that prolonged exposure to raw [[energon]] will lead to stasis lock and death without adequate protection. Aboard the ''Darksyde'', the newly-reformatted Tarantulas demands to know why they've come to here, of all places, and Megatron explains: the Maximals extracted the location of this energon-rich planet from the disk before he stole it. Now that they know ''that'' to be true, whatever else hidden on the disk must be as well. With so much energon at their disposal, the Predacons would have enough power to overthrow the Maximals for good—but before they can turn their attention to galactic conquest, they must first find and deal with their pursuers, who have assuredly survived the crash...

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* '''BEAST WARS!''' (guitar shredding) Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|franchise]] that saved the brand, ''Transformers: Beast Wars'' reimagines the original [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Wars'' cartoon series]] from the ground up in the vein of IDW's other ''Transformers'' reinventions, reintroducing the characters and concepts for new audiences. Most previous ancillary ''Beast Wars'' media told stories set [[Dawn of Future's Past|prior]] [[Dawn of the Predacus|to]], [[Transformers, Beast Wars: The Gathering|parallel to]], or [[Transformers: The Wreckers|after]] the original cartoon, with only ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' breaking away entirely from the established continuity of the show—and while ''Transformers: Beast Wars'' does borrow some from the likes of IDW's previous ''Beast Wars'' comics, it's a totally new spin on the original show premise, unconnected to any prior piece of ''Beast Wars'' media.
* This particular issue is a largely faithful adaptation of the opening act of "[[Beast Wars (Part 1)]]", but tweaks many details both large and small—most prominently, it adds the brand-new characters [[Nyx]] and [[Skold]] to the cast. The Megatron of this reality appears to be an agent in the employ of the [[Tripredacus Council]]; in the cartoon, however, Megatron was a loose cannon, an independent criminal who acted in direct opposition to the Council. On the Maximal side of things, Optimus Primal is a younger, more gung-ho commander eager for adventure, who has been expelled from Cybertronian security and reassigned to the ''Axalon'' under as-yet unrevealed circumstances. This is similar to [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|another, fan-favorite incarnation of Optimus]].
* In "[[Nemesis Part 2]]", Megatron explained that he renamed himself after the "great destroyer" foretold in the [[Covenant of Primus]], with the implication that the [[Megatron (G1)|original Megatron]] may also have taken his name from the same text. In the reboot, it's a little simpler, as Megatron claims to have simply taken the name of the old Decepticon leader in anticipation of his victory.

===Transformers references===
* The [[Tripredacus Council]] had a small but memorable role in "[[The Agenda (Part 1)]]" as the 'bots responsible for sending [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] back in time to eliminate [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. Their depiction in this comic combines traits from their cartoon and toy selves; notably, they appear on Megatron's communicator in red and black, homaging their appearance in the dramatically backlit scene from ''Beast Wars'', but they're later shown to possess toy-accurate color schemes under normal lighting.
* [[Cicadacon]] wears a chain around his neck in homage to his getup in "The Agenda" and ''[[Transformers, Beast Wars: The Gathering|The Gathering]]''. Concept art for the character shows that chain attached to a medallion with a bird-faced [[insignia]] that appeared in [[The Gathering issue 2|issue #2]] of ''The Gathering''; this symbol seemingly represented the [[Predacon (G1)|G1 Predacon]] [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]], who was implied to have founded the ''Beast Wars'' Predacons along with his fellows.
* [[Cybertronix]] text on page three reveals that the facility holding the Golden Disk is named the "[[Wheeljack Ministry of Science]]"; appropriately, it features a pair of statues based on [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]].
* Cybertron's moon is drawn to resemble the unusual "gashed" planetoid that made infrequent appearances throughout the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' cartoon. Similarly, the [[Great Shipyard]] in the city of [[Vos (polity)|Vos]] features a tall structure drawn to resemble the [[Central Spaceport]] in [[Cybertropolis]] from the ''Beast Machines'' episode "[[Fires of the Past]]".
* Terrorsaur and Scorponok kill the Maximal [[Under-3]] during their raid on the Science Ministry; this obscure character began as a [[McDonald's]] Happy Meal toy, but his appearance here is based on the toy he received at [[BotCon 2016]], a redeco of [[Streetwise (G1)#Generations|''Combiner Wars'' Streetwise]] under the name "Unit-3". His fellow Maximal security guards all seem to share his appearance—perhaps in reference to "[[Theft of the Golden Disk]]" and "[[Dawn of Future's Past]]", where every member of the [[Maximal Command Security Force]] (and Cheetor) used a body-type based on [[Clocker (Cybertron)|''Cybertron'' Clocker]]. In this issue, Dinobot even picks up a guard in a similar manner and color to when he did the same in "Theft of the Golden Disk."
*Barring Nyx and Dinobot, who are wholly-original designs, the other Maximals and Predacons' pre-beast bodies are influenced by various toys and other homages to the "Beast Era".<ref name=inspirations>[https://twitter.com/jcburcham/status/1357035373184962561 Josh Burcham on twitter]</ref>
** Optimus Primal takes design cues from his ''[[Optimus_Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|10th Anniversary]]'' figure. Most prominently, he possesses that toy's characteristic grey feet and antennae, mechanical segments on his abdomen, red knees, and blue chest highlights.
**Megatron is a heavily stylized version of his [[Megatron_(BW)/toys#Timelines|2006 BotCon toy]], with the missile being excluded.
**Cheetor incorporates traits from his 2006 ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' toy with the inclusion of the hooped wheels, visor, and vehicle mode from his canceled ''[[Transtech]]'' toy. Of course, the latter characteristics would eventually serve as the basis for [[Cheetor (Animated)|''Animated'' Cheetor]].
**Rattrap and Rhinox are both stylized versions of their respective 2006 ''Timelines'' toys.
**Terrorsaur is a revamped version of his [[Terrorsaur (BW)#Generations|''Combiner Wars'' toy]] featuring lime-green detailing and purple shins in homage to his original ''Beast Wars'' toy.
**Waspinator is a retooling of his [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#Timelines|2006 BotCon toy]] with a helmet poached from his ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Animated]]'' counterpart [[Wasp]].
**Scorponok's body shares physical similarities with his appearance in "[[Dawn of Future's Past]]", which itself is based off his ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Scorponok (Energon)|counterpart]]. This time, he is colored after his [[Scorponok (BW)#Generations|''Combiner Wars'']] toy.
**Tarantulas is a stylized version of his "Mesothulas" body from the [[2005 IDW continuity]] with a tweaked version of [[Brakedown (Cybertron)|''Cybertron'' Brakedown]]'s vehicle mode.
**Even though she is a new character, Skold is heavily based on ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Tankor (BM)#Toys|Tankor]]'s first toy.
* The crew of the ''Axalon'' take direction from [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], who's wearing a Cybertronian-ized version of his [[Ironhide_(G1)/toys#Beast_Wars|''Beast Wars'' toy]]. Both the ''[[Transformers: Universe (comic)|Universe]]'' and IDW's own ''Beast Wars'' comics previously established the three members of [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]]—Ironhide, [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], and [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]—as the [[Maximal Elder]]s, former [[Autobot]]s who downsized into Maximal bodies after the end of the Autobot-Decepticon war; ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars: The Ascending|The Ascending]]'' even featured the three in vehicle-mode versions of their ''Beast Wars'' forms, which Ironhide's design here draws from.
* As the ''Axalon'' and ''Darksyde'' fly through [[transwarp]], Dinobot refers to the dimension as "[[Transwarp#Marvel_The_Transformers_comics|unspace]]". This term recently saw prominent use in the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|Cyberverse]]'' cartoon to describe the extradimensional realm the characters periodically visited, which was essentially transwarp in all but name, and this comic officially ties the two concepts together by using them synonymously.
* Just like in the first episode of ''Beast Wars'', Rhinox makes the decision to eject the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s cargo of [[stasis pod]]s before impact to protect the [[protoform]]s within. Just like in the cartoon, the pods are shown safely orbiting the planet... including one marked with a large red "X". In the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon, this special pod held "Protoform X", the murderous mutant who later became "[[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]". We'll have to see if the same is true here, although Primal's mention of "delivering science experiments" seems to be a sly reference.
* The first glimpse we get at this alien planet features two moons and a floating mountain range. The mysterious second moon was a long-running mystery throughout the first season of the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon that culminated in the reveal of the alien [[Planet Buster]], while a [[Flying mountain|floating mountain]] filled with [[energon]] played a key role in the season one episode "[[Power Surge (episode)|Power Surge]]". The second season famously revealed that the Maximals and Predacons had in fact crashed on prehistoric Earth; here, Tarantulas notes that the planet's coordinates seem "familiar", but it's not yet clear if this comic will take the story in a similar direction.
* The crash-landing knocks all of the Cybertronians into [[stasis lock]], prompting the ship's respective artificial intelligences to rebuild and reactivate them. This concept owes more to the traditional Generation 1 origin story than it does ''Beast Wars'', as both the Maximals and Predacons were fully conscious after arriving on Earth in the pilot. The [[DNA scanner]]s the ships deploy, on the other hand, are directly lifted from the corresponding scenes in the cartoon.
* Optimus Primal describes his new gorilla form as "interesting" as he emerges from the ship's [[CR chamber]] in reference to his first onscreen appearance in "Beast Wars (Part 1)".

===Real-world references===
* The name of this story arc is likely in reference to the [[Savage Land]] of [[Marvel Comics]] fame, which also played a significant role in the early issues of [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel's ''The Transformers'' comics]].
* On page two, Terrorsaur chases down Under-3 using the infamous "[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/naruto-run Naruto run]" of ironic meme fame.
* According to artist Josh Burcham, Cybertronian [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]]'s swords are a nod to the [[wikia:gundam:GF13-021NG Gundam Spiegel|Gundam Spiegel]].<ref name=inspirations/>

===Errors===
* On page twenty-four, Nyx's line—"Optimus... I'm sorry"—is missing a period.

===Other trivia===
*The original ''Beast Wars'' television show had three of the four Maximals make a big show of renaming themselves just before crashing on prehistoric [[Earth]]. Here, however, the characters all possess their beast-themed names before ever actually assuming the appropriate alternate modes. There's no real in-universe explanation for this one—just go with it!
* Backmatter for this double-sized issue includes an interview with writer [[Erik Burnham]], another with artist [[Josh Burcham]], and a ''lot'' of concept art: Nyx and Skold, the ''Axalon'' and the ''Darksyde'', and Cybertronian bodies for the Maximals and Predacons that appear in this issue.

CrusaderPrime:

[[File:TFTM-WreckGarsits.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|But [[teeth]] are out of the question.]]
Some [[Transformer]]s have facial features that resemble [[human]] '''facial hair'''. These features sometimes indicate age, but this is not always the case.

*Minimus Ambus refers to the mustache he and Dominus both share as the facial [[insignia]] of the House of Ambus, providing at least some explanation as to why facial hair exists in the [[2005 IDW continuity]].

Is there a universal stream for TransTech itself? Or do they consider themselves above that sort of thing? I guess they'd be ### Epsilon, but they don't technically fit into a continuity family, do they? --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 20:06, 30 December 2009 (EST)

What is the origin of these names, anyway? We know how the numbering system works, and there's a note explaining where they got the name Quadwal (which is actually pretty funny), but what about the rest of them? - [[User:Arborday|Arborday]] 13:33, 10 May 2010 (EDT)
:Can't figure out the others, but "Primax" for Generation 1 seems quite straightforward. One meaning of "prime" is "first", and the -ax ending is just to make it sound cool/foreign. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 13:43, 10 May 2010 (EDT)
==How the System works==
Just making sure I understand the system. If for example, a new animated series came out this year, and it was a completely new continuity family, would it be:_____- 010.0 Alpha? I ask because I'm working on my owned fan-based Transformers series (non-profit of course)--[[User:Chipmonk328|Chipmonk328]]
:Almost. It would be: ______ '''x'''10.'''y''' Alpha, with '''x''' and '''y''' being the month and day the first episode was aired. If the first episode aired today (Feb 12, 2010), it would be: ______ 210.12 Alpha.--[[Special:Contributions/24.224.153.106|24.224.153.106]] 18:15, 12 February 2010 (EST)
:The numbers that feature zeros for x or y come from continuities where parts of the date are unknown or undefined. The G1 Marvel Comics continuity started in September 1984, but if there was any exact date in September, we don't know about it. If the comic was known to have been officially released on September 13, then it would be Primax 984.13 Gamma instead of Primax 984.0 Gamma. Similarly, Bulletbike came out "sometime in 1995," and if it was even in a specific month then we don't know about it, so he's just from Primax 095.0 Beta; if he'd had a "street date" of April 13, then it would be Primax 495.13 Beta. And if we didn't know when in 2007 the live-action movie came out, it'd be Tyran 007.0 Delta (or maybe just Tyran 07.0 Delta). --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]]

== The Greek ==

:Just a thought. I don't know how the original writer (inventor) of the universal stream think, but Gamma is an equivalence to G, so it fit more to represent "game", while Kappa is an equivalence to K, which should used for "comic" ([''k''o mi k]). --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 23:46, 25 June 2010 (EDT)
::Gamma's also equivalent to "c", if memory serves. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 23:54, 25 June 2010 (EDT)
:::I think it was more a "c" is the third letter of the Latin/English alphabet and "gamma" is the third letter of the Greek more than any direct equivalence of sounds. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 00:02, 26 June 2010 (EDT)

== New continuity families ==

"Gargent—the Tonka GoBots continuity family. Xobitor—the, uh, Robotix continuity family." Does this mean what I think it means? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 21:24, 1 July 2010 (EDT)

== Japanese continuity ==

I just realized that with universal streams like Aurex 103.10 Alpha and Primax 787.3 Alpha that Japanese fiction has been canonized as part of the western multiverse. I find this both a bit [[:Image:Japaneseflowchart.jpg|confusing]] and, in the case of Primax 406.3 Eta, a bit unsettling. 
Anyhow, this gives me an opportunity to ask how this works. "Primax 787.3 Alpha" is the ''Headmasters'', and ''Headmasters'' is in continuity with a bunch of other things, like ''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' and ''Car Robots'' etc. So is "Primax 787.3 Alpha" the Universal Stream for all of it? - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 23:10, 26 July 2010 (EDT)

==Sourcing==
We probably ought to directly source where each named stream was mentioned. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 23:27, 26 July 2010 (EDT)

== G1 stream ==

I looked at the G1 universal streams and noticed a critical flaw. The G1 cartoon is missing. --[[User:LokitheGrammarNazi|LokitheGrammarNazi]] 10:07, 18 October 2010 (EDT)

:::Wasn't there when Loki made this post, I checked the history. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 14:12, 18 October 2010 (EDT)

::But, come on, it ''the cartoon'' that everyone grew up with! I understand that even though there isn't a reliable source we can't put it in there (ignoring the massive amount of citation needed tags), but if we did wouldn't we put it in there? --[[User:LokitheGrammarNazi|LokitheGrammarNazi]] 13:56, 18 October 2010 (EDT)
:::I would imagine most Transformers fans haven't grown up with the original cartoon at this point. And, no, if the universe hadn't been called out specifically in fiction, we wouldn't have put it in the list.

== Streams listed on franchise pages ==
Would it make sense to mention the universal stream designations on the individual franchise pages? For example, "this series takes place in universal stream Primax XXX.XX Gamma," so you don't have to go back to this article to know that. --[[User:JMM|JMM]] 18:46, 30 June 2011 (EDT)

== Streams as pages ==
Does each stream really need to be its own page? I'm not saying they don't, I'm just wondering if they do. I'd be open to persuasion either way.--[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 15:19, 10 August 2011 (EDT)
:I'm of the opinion that anything with a proper name deserves a page. Not only that, but it allows for greater elaboration on the specifics of the universe and how they're used in the fiction itself. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 15:28, 10 August 2011 (EDT)
::Why isn't the information just folded into the relevant stories' pages? I mean, what are the odds of ANYONE looking things up by a universal stream designation? It's infinitely more likely someone will look up the 2007 movie, or even "Another Time And Place", by those names, than whatever string of nonsense words, digits and Greek that got assigned to them. Having these as separate pages is pointless and only makes that little tidbit of trivia LESS likely to be found. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 14:01, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
:::I'm inclined to agree. The stream identifiers are, after all, just another name for worlds and stories which already ''have'' pages. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 14:11, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
::::You guys realize it's impossible to have fiction sections with stuff like "From Primax 406.3 Eta in the year 2009, a Megatron attacked the Primax 903.0 Beta Alternity Optimus Prime..." in story pages, right? The story pages go over the story itself. They don't detail the ''actual universe'' from a fictional perspective. And some of those universes ''don't'' have anywhere to point to, [[Primax 109.0 Beta]] for example. Those pages are also a way to consolidate references to the universes; [[Primax 207.0 Epsilon]] is said to destroy a GoBot universe and the AT&P universe, but there's nowhere that says both in the same article because both facts aren't relevant anywhere else. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 14:28, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
:::::It's called the trivia/notes section. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 14:36, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
::::::I don't like the idea of having the information folded into the relevant stories' pages because the relevant stories don't typically use or acknowledge the universal stream concept, so putting it there would be awkward. It is nice to have an article written from the multiversal perspective. Notes/triva is an option, but the information is more than trivia, it is part of fiction. I like the way it is, but as a compromise idea, how about, for the universes that have an appropriate story page, we make a new section that is written from the multiversal perspective. Example: have a "Primax 984.0 Gamma" section on the [[Marvel Comics continuity]] page where it talks about how "The destruction of Unicron created an unusually high number of tangent universal streams." - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 14:58, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
:::::::I'm starting to come around to this point of view, seeing how the articles are working in practice.--[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 15:05, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
:::::::I could abide a "Role in the Multiverse" subsection of the relevant already-existing page. But a separate article just seems pointless. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 15:08, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
::::::::But a lot of those aren't limited to one particular work. Primax 388.whatever starts with the Masterforce manga, but evidently involves the Zone manga, as the AAII puts Zone elements in it. Primax 109 was created entirely for one character in Alternity and is the setting for three stories. It's silly how you're insistent on not giving articles to settings and things that exist in fiction just because they happen to be a metareference. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 15:30, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
:::::::::It's stupid how you're making information harder to come across for a microscopic percentage of minor exceptions. For the eleven millionth time, we do not need a whole gigantic new system or re-work because 1% of something doesn't quite fit. Here's a thought for your Masterforce example... PUT THE INFORMATION IN BOTH RELEVANT PRE-EXISTING ARTICLES. Put the Alternity new universe IN THE ALTERNITY HUB ARTICLE. There is no need whatsoever to send people scattering across pages with thoroughly unintuitive titles for microscopic shreds of information that could easily have been put in an unobtrusive subsection. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 16:57, 11 August 2011 (EDT)

== Beast Wars ==
Where exactly would the beast era of transformers fit in? Would it get its own universal stream, or would it be in the same universe as the Generation 1 stream? [[User:Bookwormdalek|Bookwormdalek]] 19:55, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
:Beast Wars is a G1 universal stream, seeing as it's effectively a sequel to Generation 1.[[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]]
::The cartoon continuity would be Primax 496.22 Alpha, I think. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 20:18, 25 September 2012 (EDT)

== Clarification if possible ==

Any [[Authorial_intent|word of god]] on how to classify in the case of say [[Transformers:_Generation_2_(Marvel)|the G2 comic]] versus [[Regeneration One]] as they both originate from the [[The_Transformers_(issue)|first issue]] of the US comic which is classified as [[Primax 984.0 Gamma]] [[User:Indridcold13|Indridcold13]] ([[User talk:Indridcold13|talk]]) 09:35, 8 March 2014 (EST)
:Well, The Allspark Almanac II states that the one true future of Primax 984.0 Gamma is Alignment, which couldn't be possible with RG1. So G2 is the true future of it. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 10:38, 8 March 2014 (EST)
::Same with the other splinter timeline that continues from Marvel US but without Marvel UK, Classics -- the new continuation has its own universal stream name that's based off the date of its first story. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 11:07, 8 March 2014 (EST)
:::So, if I'm understanding this right, in cases where there is an original fiction (let's use [[Beast_Wars:_Transformers_(cartoon)|Beast Wars]]), and two or more divergent fictions based on this original fiction (we'll use the [[Beast_Wars_(comic)#3H_Botcon_comics|3H BW comics]] and [[Beast_Wars_(comic)#IDW_comics|IDW BW comics]]), the first published divergent fiction is canon to the original universal stream (Primax 496.22 Alpha) but further divergent fiction is given a new stream dated to the first instalment of this divergent fiction. Thus: Primax 496.22 Alpha contains both [[Beast_Wars:_Transformers_(cartoon)|the Beast Wars cartoon]] and [[Beast_Wars_(comic)#3H_Botcon_comics|the 3H comics]], while Primax 206.15 Gamma contains an exact copy of [[Beast_Wars:_Transformers_(cartoon)|the Beast Wars cartoon]] as well as the [[Beast_Wars_(comic)#IDW_comics|IDW comics]], is this correct? [[User:Indridcold13|Indridcold13]] ([[User talk:Indridcold13|talk]]) 11:42, 8 March 2014 (EST)
::::I don't think those are necessarily comparable to the original example. G2 wasn't "divergent" fiction, just a continuation. Other stories would (much) later come back and try to unseat it. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 12:18, 8 March 2014 (EST)
:::::It was one of several continuations already at the time, though. There was G2 US and Fleetway's G2 UK, neither of which followed up on the previous "final" story of the Marvel timeline, Another Time and Place.
:::::I'd say that a universal stream only maintains its original designation so long as the publication / broadcast remains semi-continuous. So, Primax 496.22 Alpha contains the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon, up until it stopped broadcasting. Primax 206.15 Gamma has the cartoon + IDW comics, and [[Ground Zero|Primax 977.18 Epsilon]] (or whatever) contains the cartoon + 3H comics.
:::::Primax 984.0 Gamma ends with TF #80 -- anything after that (the G2s, Classics, ATAP, RG1) is a different Primax universal stream that contains the events of Primax 984.0 Gamma, plus new adventures. If on the other hand a divergence appears ''during'' the continuous run of a universe, then only the new divergent timeline gets a new universal stream. Earthforce split off during the events of Marvel UK, for instance, so it would have a different designation based on the first published Earthforce story, but the main Marvel UK stream wouldn't get a new designation at the same time. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 22:51, 8 March 2014 (EST)
::::::Eh, I've never really seen it that way, since if we go off that idea, Beast Machines wouldn't be part of the Beast Wars timeline. Plus as I already mentioned, the Allspark Almanac states that Alignment is canon for Primax 984.0 Gamma, and even though we don't put on it here, that basically confirms G2 is part of it. But whatever. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 23:36, 8 March 2014 (EST)

== Sorting within universal clusters ==

Would it make more sense to sort the lists on this page by the dates to which they refer, rather than a strict by-numbers order? It makes more sense from an out-of-universe perspective; as it is, the listing doesn't really make much sense. I get why you might want to keep it as-is, but I just thought I'd raise the suggestion. [[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 17:27, 7 June 2015 (EDT)
:Any chance of some more opinions on this? To clarify, I'd like it to be changed since the numbers we're sorting them by are essentially an alternative date format, but we're sorting them as if they were regular numbers. Obviously, it'd be kind of terrible of me to change it without agreement from other users. [[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 09:29, 25 June 2015 (EDT)
::Personally, I would find it more confusing and less aesthetically pleasing to sort it the way you are proposing. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 11:37, 25 June 2015 (EDT)
:::Primax in particular IS getting to be a big, blurry wall of text, though. What about re-listing by both alphabetical and numerical values -- all the Primax Alphas by date, then all the Primax Betas, Primax Gammas, etc. That way, at least, if you know you're looking for a G1 cartoon or a G1 comic universe, they're all together instead of spread out among the various dates. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 18:48, 26 June 2015 (EDT)

==Negative Polarity Universes==
Has the note about there not being as many negative polarity universes as positive polarity universes been invalidated/retconned by the revelations at the end of the club's existence? Or is the idea that we now believe there to be just as many (but the ability to travel "easily" between universes has shifted from positive to negative) pushing too far into "not quite canon"? --[[User:G.B.

'''Optimus Primal and his crew pursue a group of Predacon criminals across time and space to recover a stolen relic, and find themselves stranded on a mysterious planet.'''

==Synopsis==
On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the [[Tripredacus Council]] receive a transmission from the ambitious [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)|Galavar]], who explains his a plan to steal a valuable [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|golden disk]] from the [[Maximal]] [[Wheeljack Ministry of Science|Science Ministry]]. His heist is as ambitious as it is audacious: under cover of night, [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]], [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]], and [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] rappel into the ministry's main hall and easily dispatch the [[Maximal Command Security Force|Maximal security guards]]—though Dinobot, who feels that there's no honor in killing defenseless foes, fails to convince his fellow Predacons to simply stun their victims. At the same time, [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]], [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], and [[Skold]] break into the [[Great Shipyard]] in [[Vos (polity)|Vos]] and sabotage almost every [[transwarp]]-capable vessel before stealing the Maximal warship ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''; before Cybertron can mount a coordinated response, they'll have a head start to flee into deep space, travel through time, and decode whatever secrets the disk possesses. Council members [[Ram Horn]] and [[Cicadacon]] don't see the wisdom in this bold plan and order him to stand down, but Galavar tells the three that he doesn't ''need'' their permission—he's already done it! So taken is he with his triumph that he's adopted a new name; like his [[Megatron (G1)|namesake]], the newly-christened "[[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]" gloats that the Council will soon kneel before ''him'' before he abruptly cuts the feed. The brazen power play infuriates Ram Horn, but [[Sea Clamp]] and Cicadacon advise patience: Galavar could never play the long game, and ''that'' is why the Tripredacus Council will outmaneuver the upstart and capitalize on his success... or failure.

Far away, aboard the starship ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'', [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] delivers a status report to his old friend [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] as they spar in the ship's gym. Despite his recent promotion to captain, Primal yearns for some real adventure and idly wonders what would happen if they used the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s transwarp drive to explore time as well as space, though Rhinox gently reminds him that transwarp technology is strictly regulated to prevent any temporal contamination. Primal grouses that [[Maximal Defense Command|Maximal Command]] ''deliberately'' posted him to a dull [[protoform]] delivery mission to get him to fall in line, but before they can finish their match, helmsman [[Nyx]] contacts the pair to inform them that they're receiving a priority transmission from Cybertron. On the ship's bridge, the crew receives word of the attack from [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], who warns them that the Predacon separatists will assuredly use their stolen ship to flee through time. Optimus quickly realizes why Ironhide's hailing the skeleton crew of a lightly-armed science vessel to do something, and the Maximal leader confirms his suspicions: with the rest of Cybertron's transwarp fleet out of commission, they're the only ones close enough to respond in time.

Optimus orders his crewmembers to their stations; while [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] briefly wonders why the Predacons haven't already jumped to the past, [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] reminds him that the Predacons need time to bypass the access codes to their stolen ship and flew out to this remote region of space to do it. With a few minutes before the ''Darksyde'' approaches their position, Rhinox readies a last-resort transwarp lock, while Cheetor brings their weapons online... moments before Rattrap reports that their scanners are detecting incoming vessel. When the ''Darksyde'' races past, Optimus brushes off Rhinox's suggestion to hail the Predacons and instead orders his crew to intercept the vessel and take out their engines. On the ''Darksyde'', Skold reports that they've got a ship on their tail, and Megatron commands his Predacons to open fire. Although the ''Axalon'' outmaneuvers their attacks thanks to Nyx's evasive maneuvers, their sensor-jammers mean that Cheetor can't get a clear shot at the engines before Tarantulas cracks the transwarp drive—but as he enters the coordinates from the golden disk, the scientist can't help but wonder why these coordinates seem oddly familiar. Aboard the ''Axalon'', Rhinox warns that the Predacons are warming up their transwarp drive and are getting ready to make their final escape. The only way to stay on their tail is to lock onto their transwarp signal, but it's a risky gambit: with no way of knowing where exactly the ''Darksyde'' is going, the risky maneuver could very well tear their ship to bits without the right midflight adjustments. Nyx is determined to bring the Predacons to justice, however, and Optimus orders them to make the link; when the ''Darksyde'' then jumps to transwarp, the ''Axalon'' gets dragged along with them into transwarp space! Megatron is reluctantly impressed by their bravado but mulls that they'll have to destroy them on the other side—though Dinobot has to first stop the impatient Terrorsaur from firing on them in transwarp, lest he accidentally destroy ''both'' ships.

Seconds later, the ''Darksyde'' rematerializes somewhere far away, over an unfamiliar green planet; with a few seconds until the ''Axalon'' reappears, Megatron orders Terrorsaur to ready weapons; the ''Darksyde'' promptly blindsides the other ship when it rematerialises, scores two direct hits, and incapacitates their weapon systems. In desperation, Nyx simply rams the ship straight into the ''Darksyde'' in the hope of pushing the other ship into the atmosphere—but the plan works ''too'' well, and sends ''both'' ships plummeting towards the planet's surface. With only minutes before impact, Rhinox realizes what must be done and jettisons their cargo of [[stasis pod]]s into orbit in the hopes that they might someday recover them, moments before both ships crash-land on opposite sides of a lush valley, and hit the ground hard enough to knock their passengers into [[stasis lock]]. It only takes a few moments for their artificial intelligences to reboot, then set about rebuilding the damaged Cybertronians... but deadly levels of [[energon radiation]] prompt them to activate their [[DNA scanner]]s, analyze living creatures and fossilized remains, then rebuild the Maximals and Predacons into techno-organic [[beast mode]]s. The Maximals soon awaken in their new forms, and while Nyx's overjoyed at the sight of her new wings, Optimus consults the ship's computer and learns that prolonged exposure to raw [[energon]] will lead to stasis lock and death without adequate protection. Aboard the ''Darksyde'', the newly-reformatted Tarantulas demands to know why they've come to here, of all places, and Megatron explains: the Maximals extracted the location of this energon-rich planet from the disk before he stole it. Now that they know ''that'' to be true, whatever else hidden on the disk must be as well. With so much energon at their disposal, the Predacons would have enough power to overthrow the Maximals for good—but before they can turn their attention to galactic conquest, they must first find and deal with their pursuers, who have assuredly survived the crash...

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* '''BEAST WARS!''' (guitar shredding) Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|franchise]] that saved the brand, ''Transformers: Beast Wars'' reimagines the original [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Wars'' cartoon series]] from the ground up in the vein of IDW's other ''Transformers'' reinventions. While most previous ''Beast Wars'' stories told stories set before, after, or parallel to the original cartoon, this is the first real "reboot" of the franchise since its inception, although it borrows plenty from the show itself, IDW's previous ''Beast Wars'' continuity, and other bits of ancillary media.
* This particular issue is a largely faithful adaptation of the opening act of "[[Beast Wars (Part 1)]]", but tweaks many details both large and small—most prominently, it adds the brand-new characters [[Nyx]] and [[Skold]] to the cast. The Megatron of this reality appears to be an agent in the employ of the [[Tripredacus Council]]; in the cartoon, however, Megatron was a loose cannon, an independent criminal who acted in direct opposition to the Council. On the Maximal side of things, Optimus Primal is a younger, more gung-ho commander eager for adventure, who has been expelled from Cybertronian security and reassigned to the ''Axalon'' under as-yet unrevealed circumstances.
* In "[[Nemesis Part 2]]", Megatron explained that he renamed himself after the "great destroyer" foretold in the [[Covenant of Primus]], with the implication that the [[Megatron (G1)|original Megatron]] may also have taken his name from the same text. In the reboot, it's a little simpler, as Megatron claims to have simply taken the name of the old Decepticon leader in anticipation of his victory.

===Transformers references===
* The [[Tripredacus Council]] had a small but memorable role in "[[The Agenda (Part 1)]]" as the 'bots responsible for sending [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] back in time to eliminate [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. Their depiction in this comic combines traits from their cartoon and toy selves; notably, they appear on Megatron's communicator in red and black, homaging their appearance in the dramatically backlit scene from ''Beast Wars'', but they're later shown to possess toy-accurate color schemes under normal lighting.
* [[Cicadacon]] wears a chain around his neck in homage to his getup in "The Agenda" and ''[[Transformers, Beast Wars: The Gathering|The Gathering]]''. Concept art for the character shows that chain attached to a medallion with a bird-faced [[insignia]] that appeared in [[The Gathering issue 2|issue #2]] of ''The Gathering''; this symbol seemingly represented the [[Predacon (G1)|G1 Predacon]] [[Divebomb (G1)|Divebomb]], who was implied to have founded the ''Beast Wars'' Predacons along with his fellows.
* [[Cybertronix]] text on page three reveals that the facility holding the Golden Disk is named the "[[Wheeljack Ministry of Science]]"; appropriately, it features a pair of statues based on [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]].
* Cybertron's moon is drawn to resemble the unusual "gashed" planetoid that made infrequent appearances throughout the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' cartoon. Similarly, the [[Great Shipyard]] in the city of [[Vos (polity)|Vos]] features a tall structure drawn to resemble the [[Central Spaceport]] in [[Cybertropolis]] from the ''Beast Machines'' episode "[[Fires of the Past]]".
* Terrorsaur and Scorponok kill the Maximal [[Under-3]] during their raid on the Science Ministry; this obscure character began as a [[McDonald's]] Happy Meal toy, but his appearance here is based on the toy he received at [[BotCon 2016]], a retool of [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|''Combiner Wars'' Prowl]] under the name "Unit-3". His fellow Maximal security guards all seem to share his appearance—perhaps in reference to "[[Theft of the Golden Disk]]" and "[[Dawn of Future's Past]]", where every member of the [[Maximal Command Security Force]] (and Cheetor) used a body-type based on [[Clocker (Cybertron)|''Cybertron'' Clocker]].
* Optimus Primal's pre-beast form takes design cues from his ''[[Optimus_Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|10th Anniversary]]'' figure—most prominently, he possesses that toy's characteristic grey feet and antennae, mechanical segments on his abdomen, red knees, and blue chest highlights. Cheetor, Rattrap, and Rhinox, meanwhile, all incorporate traits from their 2006 ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' toys, while Cheetor also incorporates the hooped wheels from his cancelled ''[[Transtech]]'' toy. On the Predacon side of things, [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] features lime-green detailing and purple shins in homage to his original ''Beast Wars'' toy, [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] sports a helmet poached from ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Animated]]'' [[Wasp]], and [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] takes inspiration from [[Nick Roche]]'s Cybertronian body for "Mesothulas" in ''[[The Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers|Sins of the Wreckers]]''.
* The crew of the ''Axalon'' take direction from [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], who's wearing a Cybertronian-ized version of his [[Ironhide_(G1)/toys#Beast_Wars|''Beast Wars'' toy]]. Both the ''[[Transformers: Universe (comic)|Universe]]'' and IDW's own ''Beast Wars'' comics previously established the three members of [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]]—Ironhide, [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], and [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]—as the [[Maximal Elder]]s, former [[Autobot]]s who downsized into Maximal bodies after the end of the Autobot-Decepticon war; ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars: The Ascending|The Ascending]]'' even featured the three in vehicle-mode versions of their ''Beast Wars'' forms.
* As the ''Axalon'' and ''Darksyde'' fly through [[transwarp]], Dinobot refers to the dimension as "[[Unspace#Marvel_The_Transformers_comics|unspace]]". This term was last used in the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|Cyberverse]]'' cartoon to describe the extradimensional realm the characters periodically visited, which was essentially transwarp in all but name, and this comic officially ties the two concepts together by using them synonymously.
* Just like in the first episode of ''Beast Wars'', Rhinox makes the decision to eject the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s cargo of [[stasis pod]]s before impact to protect the [[protoform]]s within. Just like in the cartoon, the pods are shown safely orbiting the planet... including one marked with a large red "X". In the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon, this special pod held "Protoform X", the murderous mutant who later became "[[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]"; we'll have to see if the same is true here...
* The first glimpse we get at this alien planet features two moons and a floating mountain range. The mysterious second moon was a long-running mystery throughout the first season of the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon that culminated in the reveal of the alien [[Planet Buster]], while a [[Flying mountain|floating mountain]] filled with [[energon]] played a key role in the season one episode "[[Power Surge (episode)|Power Surge]]". The second season famously revealed that the Maximals and Predacons had in fact crashed on prehistoric Earth; here, Tarantulas notes that the planet's coordinates seem "familiar", but it's not yet clear if this comic will take the story in a similar direction.
* The crash-landing knocks all of the Cybertronians into [[stasis lock]], prompting the ship's respective artificial intelligences to rebuild and reactivate them. This concept owes more to the traditional Generation 1 origin story than it does ''Beast Wars'', as both the Maximals and Predacons were fully conscious after arriving on Earth in the pilot. The [[DNA scanner]]s the ships deploy, on the other hand, are directly lifted from the corresponding scenes in the cartoon.
* Optimus Primal describes his new gorilla form as "interesting" as he emerges from the ship's [[CR chamber]] in reference to his first onscreen appearance in "Beast Wars, Part 1".

===Real-world references===
* The name of this story arc is likely in reference to the [[Savage Land]] of [[Marvel Comics]] fame, which also played a significant role in the early issues of [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel's ''The Transformers'' comics]].
* On page two, Terrorsaur chases down Under-3 using the infamous "[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/naruto-run Naruto run]" of ironic meme fame.

===Errors===
* On page twenty-four, Nyx's line—"Optimus... I'm sorry"—is missing a period.

===Other trivia===
*The original ''Beast Wars'' television show had three of the four Maximals make a big show of renaming themselves just before crashing on prehistoric [[Earth]]. Here, however, the characters all possess their beast-themed names before ever actually assuming the appropriate alternate modes. There's no real in-universe explanation for this one—just go with it!
* Backmatter for this double-sized issue includes an interview with writer [[Erik Burnham]], another with artist [[Josh Burcham]], and a ''lot'' of concept art: Nyx and Skold, the ''Axalon'' and the ''Darksyde'', and Cybertronian bodies for the Maximals and Predacons that appear in this issue.

:''Blackarachnia is a [[Decepticon]] and later [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]] [[continuity family]].

:[[File:AllsparkAlmanac-ElitaOne.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1|By day she is normal like the certain {{w|Sonic Unleashed|blue blur}}.]]

In another life, she was '''Elita-1''', an energetic, spunky Autobot Academy cadet. That was until a fateful trip to [[Archa Seven]], where [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|her]] [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|teammates]] abandoned her to a horde of alien spiders. Now calling herself '''Blackarachnia''', she hates her new body with a passion. Her loathing of her organic parts is slowly driving her insane, and she will do ''anything'' to get rid of them, no matter whom she has to crush in her path. Her mutation fueled a newfound hatred of the [[Autobot]] cause and a quest for revenge that led her to join [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] in his war against them. However, she does not appear overly loyal to her leader.

In her mutant [[technorganic]] form, she makes use of her newfound '[[cyber venom]]' to paralyze her enemies, and combines this with her natural ability to download and mimic other [[Transformer]]s' traits and weaponry for a limited amount of time with a simple touch. Hope nobody told [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]].

[[File:TFA Elita-1.JPG|left|175px|thumb|Girlfriend in a coma, I know, I know it's serious.]]

''A thousand [[Units of time|stellar cycles]] ago or so, a young cadet received the name "Elita-1" from her instructor, [[Kup (Animated)|Kup Minor]].'' {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}} Elita-1 and Sentinel were both there to witness Optimus go through a simulated combat against Megatron. Though Elita-1 worried about Optimus's well-being throughout the exercise, Sentinel assured her that Optimus had little to fear from a simulation. {{storylink|The Arrival issue 5|Survival Skills}}

Elita-1 and her teammates found their way to [[Archa Seven]], looking for a Decepticon [[Twilight (Animated)|ship]] filled with [[energon]] when they accidentally fell into a series of caves. They were ambushed by [[Archa Seven arachnid|giant spiders]] and, when escaping the massive energon explosion caused by the battle, Elita ended up being left behind. When she tried using her ability to borrow powers from other beings, she was injected by the spiders' venom, turning her into a hideous freak. Because of her new, semi-organic nature, her signal did not appear on Optimus's radar, leading him and Sentinel to believe that she had perished in the explosion. {{storylink|Along Came a Spider}}

Now calling herself Blackarachnia, Elita-1 joined the Decepticons, {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}} ''and performed experimentations on [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]], rebuilding him into a [[Triple Changer]] and giving him an unstable personality. She also aided [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]] in creating a false identity to infiltrate the Autobot ranks.'' {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac|The AllSpark Almanac}}

When the [[AllSpark]] was found by a group of Autobots, Blackarachnia was aboard the [[Nemesis (Animated)|''Nemesis'']] with the other Decepticons, annoyed at [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]]'s emphatic, vocal loyalty to Megatron. She even suggested that Lugnut's speech of praise was hardwired into his mind. She also had conflict with [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]], who touched a sore point by insulting her organic mode. Her retort to "blow it out your actuator, three-face" angered Blitzwing to the point that he... began to express his feelings in song. Later, at Megatron's orders, she scanned the Autobots' ship to determine the nature of their high-energy cargo. She confirmed the Autobots were carrying the AllSpark, or at least something just as powerful. When the Autobots escaped and it became clear the ''Nemesis'' was going to crash into an exploding space bridge, Blackarachnia fled in an escape pod. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}}

[[File:Blackarachniabails-Dispatches.jpeg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
''Fifty stellar cycles later, while searching space for any trace of the AllSpark in the hope that she could use its power to purge herself of her organic mode, Blackarachnia stumbled across [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]], still operating out of the battered shell of the ''Nemesis''. Realizing that Starscream was searching for the AllSpark as well, Blackarachnia proposed an alliance, but Starscream proved uninterested in sharing power and promptly booted her out into space. Before being ejected, however, Blackarachnia was able to plant a homing device on Starscream, {{storylink|Dispatches}} [[File:LooseStrands-BlackarachniaUpgrades.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2]] and eventually tracked the beacon to [[Earth]]. At first setting down on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] to investigate the crashed hulk of the ''Nemesis'', Blackarachnia ran afoul of the bounty hunter [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]], who had been hired by Blitzwing to hunt down Optimus Prime. Not willing to risk the bounty hunter finding the AllSpark before her, Blackarachnia attempted to dissuade him from investigating Earth, but Lockdown didn't take kindly to her interference, and the pair wound up battling. During the fight, Blackarachnia used her download ability on Lockdown, knocking him out, but she was immediately overwhelmed by the sheer number of powers and modifications she wound up taking from him, and passed out herself. Blackarachnia was first to awake, however, and hid herself aboard Lockdown's [[Death's Head (Animated)|ship]], so that when the bounty hunter finally came to and headed for Earth, she was able to hitch a free ride to the planet. {{storylink|The Arrival issue 4|A Few Loose Strands}}'' At some unknown point in the future, Blackarachnia was interviewed by the trans-dimensional magazine ''[[Venus (magazine)|Venus]]'' and recounted this adventure for the publication's readers. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac|The AllSpark Almanac}}

[[File:Blackarach anim beast.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1|The Itchy Bitchy Spider crawled up the water spout...]]

After arriving on Earth, Blackarachnia stalked [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]], [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], and [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari]] on [[Halloween]] night. Once she took out the boys, she attempted to sweet-talk Sari into handing over her [[AllSpark Key]], but Optimus Prime arrived to intervene. Using Bulkhead and Bumblebee's stolen powers to overcome Optimus, Blackarachnia captured Sari and web-swung her way to the top of a skyscraper, with Prime in hot pursuit. In the ensuing fight, Prime finally realized who Blackarachnia truly was. Exploiting the opening, Blackarachnia bound Prime in her web and seized Sari's key, activating its power in hopes of become fully mechanical. However, the energies unleashed caused any organic life in range, including Sari (and presumably any other [[Human|fleshy]]), to shrivel and sicken. It almost killed Blackarachnia, but Optimus Prime pulled the Key out, restoring the organics. Prime tried to reason with "Elita", asking her to come with them in the hopes of curing her, but Blackarachnia stabbed him, saying that it would be a long time before she trusted him again. After she knocked out Prime, she cried her four eyes out. {{storylink|Along Came a Spider}}

Later, she again kidnapped Sari, who was running away after having the AllSpark Key taken away from her. When she heard about the Key and how Sari felt totally mistrusted by the Autobots, Blackarachnia played on the girl's sympathies by saying she knew how Sari felt. Blackarachnia noted how she was not a Decepticon until after the Autobots turned their backs on her, and how the AllSpark's power was the only thing that could cure her current form. Despite being kidnapped again and nearly being killed by Blackarachnia's previous use of the Key, Sari appeared to start seeing eye to eye with her captor. {{storylink|Megatron Rising - Part 1}}

[[File:Megatron Rising Blackarachnia farewell.JPG|left|175px|thumb|Here's hoping her organic half can withstand impact.]]

At least, that was what she wanted Blackarachnia to believe. Leading her around in circles over the frozen [[Lake Erie]], Sari was finally forced to admit that the [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Autobots' ship]], which contained the AllSpark, was underwater. Blackarachnia's organic half couldn't survive the icy water; incensed, she prepared to kill Sari. [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] brought the ship up through the ice, and Sari bit Blackarachnia's hand, showing that her organic half couldn't withstand teeth, causing her to drop Sari and allow Ratchet to grab her and get in the ship. As Blackarachnia tried to force the door open, the vessel accelerated, and Blackarachnia was thrown off the ship. {{storylink|Megatron Rising - Part 2}}

[[File:TFA Black Friday ME GRIMLOCK IN LOVE.jpg|right|thumb|Me Grimlock be kisser for you!]]

Washing ashore on [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]], Blackarachnia was taken in by the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]], who gave her [[Meltdown (Animated)|Meltdown]]'s [[Meltdown's Subterranean Lab|former base]] as a home. Using her charms, Blackarachnia was able to manipulate the Dinobots into doing anything she wanted. [[Grimlock (Animated)|Grimlock]] was particularly attached to her, and reminded the other Dinobots of this through violence. Going over Meltdown's notes, she realized that he would be able to remove the organic half from her body. She sent the Dinobots to release him from prison, causing the Autobots to come investigating. Blackarachnia then poisoned Bumblebee and [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] with her venom, and used the "promise" of an anti-venom to blackmail Optimus into helping Grimlock find the [[genetic modifier]] Meltdown needed for the experiment. Unfortunately, Meltdown turned the tables on them when the modifier was his, planning on removing Blackarachnia's technological half and leaving him with an organic transformer. Optimus was able to stop Meltdown before he succeeded, but the modifier was damaged and Meltdown presumed killed. Needing to escape, Blackarachnia urged Optimus to hold her, causing Grimlock to attack in jealousy, and Blackarachnia fled. However, it appears that Blackarachnia left the anti-venom needed to save Bumblebee and Prowl beside them. This gave Optimus hope that beneath all of Blackarachnia's anger and manipulation, there was still something left of Elita-1 in there. {{storylink|Black Friday (episode)|Black Friday}}

[[File:TFA-PredaconsRising-SentinelBlackArachnia.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left|[[Dark Designs|Better dead than Pred!]]]]
Still taking refuge in Meltdown's abandoned laboratory, Blackarachnia began experimenting with [[transwarp]] energy to create new techno-organic beings to experiment on in an attempt to purge her organic elements, the idea being if she could turn another techno-organic purely robotic, she could do the same to herself. Most of her early attempts proved fruitless, until [[Swoop (Animated)|Swoop]] was able to capture the perfect test subject: the renegade Autobot [[Wasp]]. Tempting him with both her feminine wiles and promises of power great enough to achieve revenge on the bots who betrayed him, she coaxed him into being experimented on, fittingly merging him with the DNA of a wasp.

[[File:TFAni Predacons Rising Blackarachina sans Helmet.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|I'd hit it.]]

While Wasp was being turned techno-organic, her old friend Sentinel Prime stumbled upon the lab and was disgusted to find a robot with an organic mode. He was even more shocked when she revealed that they had a past: she was his old friend Elita-1. Disgusted by her mutation, Sentinel was willing to "put her out of her misery", and during a scuffle knocked Blackarachnia's helmet off, allowing him to see her true, partially organic face. After Wasp's transformation into Waspinator was complete, Blackarachnia revealed her plans to Sentinel and Optimus.

[[File:PredaconsRising-WaspinatorBlackarachnia.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Did you know that some wasps use spiders as live hosts for their larva?]]

Unfortunately, Waspinator was within earshot when she revealed what little regard she had for his life. Hurt by this betrayal, the now physically unstable Waspinator issued Blackarachnia an ultimatum: either fix him or be destroyed. She tried to escape, but once it was revealed that the transwarp energies responsible for his creation were going critical and about to cause a huge explosion, Blackarachnia surrounded herself and Waspinator in her webbing, shielding the Autobots from the explosion and seemingly leading to her final demise.

However, when she awoke, she was in a strange jungle, in front of a [[Maximal|group of organic creatures]] that looked rather surprised to see their new guests. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Animated)|Predacons Rising}}

[[File:PredaconBlackarachnia-CAA.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.5]]
''At some point, Blackarachnia got herself a new paint job, rebranded herself a "Predacon," made her way back to Cybertron and begun to raise a Predacon army. The order in which she accomplished these things is unknown. In any case, she now had [[Inferno (Animated)|Inferno]] and [[Antagony (Animated)|Antagony]] working under her as fellow techno-organics.'' {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The Complete AllSpark Almanac|The Complete AllSpark Almanac}}

As Starscream heckled Megatron during a rousing speech, Blackarachnia looked on in utter horror until Megatron eventually dispatched Starscream straight through a wall. The sight of such brutality caused Blackarachnia to wince. {{storylink|Starscream Heckles Megatron}}

===''Be the Hero'' books===
{{notemultipath}}
====''Web of Deception''====
Blackarachnia hired Lockdown in an attempt to get her revenge on Optimus, paying the bounty hunter to abduct the Autobot and tie him to a bomb next to one of the arachnids whose organic material had contaminated her. She believed that detonating the bomb would fuse Optimus and the spider into a similar techno-organic form. Luckily she didn't get the chance to test her theory, as before she could set off the bomb, the rest of the Autobots and a couple of small humans caught up with her.

In one possible outcome, Lockdown got a better offer from a safari hunter, and captured Blackarachnia to be taken to the [[Kvi Cluster]]. {{storylink|Web of Deception}}

===Titan Magazines===
Realising that the Autobots also win due to the power of teamwork, Blackarachnia decided to isolate one of them from the rest of the team. She stuck a tracer on Bumblebee so she could listen in on the crew and find out the best opportunity, while she roped Blitzwing and Lugnut into helping her. By the next day, when Bumblebee and Prowl were having a race at [[Crazy Coyote Canyon]], the Decepticons had set up a trap and were able to capture Prowl. To Blackarachnia's annoyance though, Bumblebee turned up and somehow her comrades failed to pursue him even ''with'' the tracer.

She commanded Lugnut to fire on the Autobots as they sped across the cave roof, realising too late this would cause a cave-in. To add insult to injury, she found the tracer couldn't track Bumblebee any more because it was stuck on Lugnut's butt... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|The Race}}

Optimus told her that he and [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel]] immediately formed a rescue party but were unable to find her. Breaking free from her webbing, Optimus then vowed to help her find a cure for her condition no matter what.

Blackarachnia was moved by Optimus's words until [[Blackout (Animated)|Blackout]] arrived and interrupted their tender moment. Before she could consider the offer, [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] seized her and ordered a retreat. As she flew off with the Decepticon, Optimus repeated his offer to "Elita-1".

*'''Blackarachnia''' (Deluxe Class, 2008)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''TA-09'''
**''Accessories'': Grapnel-hook

:Part of the second wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Deluxes, Blackarachnia transforms into a mechanical spider with some organic aesthetic. Many of her pointier parts are [[For safety reasons|molded in softer plastic]] to keep unfortunate children from putting their eyes out. She comes with a [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/grapnel grapnel] [[Retractable string gimmick|hook accessory]] with a jointed claw at the end of it; pulling out the string then pressing a button o the base's top quickly pulls the string back in. It may be mounted under her abdomen in spider mode or on her back in robot mode, via two different sets of pegs. There is also a peg hole in each wrist, for [[Spider-Man|web-slinging]] action.

: The spider's head is mis-transformed in the package, making the first step of her instructions initially confusing. Furthermore, the pedipalps will easily come off if manipulated too much, and her transformation requires that they be turned around completely. Because of this, they will often fall off over, and over, and ''over''....

: Blackarachnia was released in the first wave of Takara's ''Animated'' line in 2010. Oddly, despite the sheer amount of metallic paint applied to virtually every other toy in the first few waves, Takara Blackarachnia is nearly identical to the Hasbro version, down to the gold Decepticon symbol on her collar.

: This toy was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Blackarachnia (BW)#2005 IDW continuity|IDW incarnation of Blackarachnia]], and was remolded and given a ''Beast Wars'' cartoon-accurate deco for the [[Blackarachnia (BW)/toys#Legends|''Legends'' toy]].

==Notes==
[[File:AniBlackarachniaPromoModel.jpg|right|thumb|Black belly is, like, so last season.]]
*In the original bible, the Elita-1 backstory does not exist, with Blackarachnia instead presented as Catwoman to Optimus Prime's [[Batman]]. The original character arc was that Optimus would get Blackarachnia to accept herself instead considering herself as a freak, but it would subvert audience expectations with her deciding she was superior to other Transformers, thus plotting to kill and replace them all with technorganics.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/2016/09/transformers-animated-story-bible-never-seen-before/ Allspark.com: "Transformers Animated Story Bible – Never Seen Before!"]</ref> Shades of this alternate characterization can be seen in the original press kit for the cartoon, which explain that Blackarachnia's techno-organic state was caused by "an encounter with the [[AllSpark|ALLSPARK]]" in the past.
*A non-final [[character model]] for Blackarachnia is included in the initial ''Transformers Animated'' press kit from [[Cartoon Network]], is used briefly (in silhouette) for her first appearance in "[[Transform and Roll Out]]", and appears on the Deluxe figure's packaging. Though the toy shares the non-final model's spider-leg placement in robot mode, black belly, dark purple skin, and yellow Decepticon symbol, the rest of the toy adheres much more closely to the finished model.
*Blackarachnia is the only major ''Animated'' character not to have [[stock footage|a detailed on-screen transformation]].
*As Elita-1, her head is based on the pony-tailed [[Elita One (G1)|Ariel]], the younger form of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]], while her body's ornamentation homages Elita One herself.
*According to [[Derrick J. Wyatt]], Elita-1's [[alternate mode]] is a "Cybertronian car".<ref>[https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21975298&postID=2344351953813555694&isPopup=true Derrick Wyatt on Blogger]</ref>
*Blackarachnia has a [[mouthplate|faceplate]], seen in ''[[Transformers Animated: The Arrival|The Arrival]]'' issues [[Dispatches|#1]] and [[The Arrival issue 4|#4]], but never in the show itself.
*The credits for "Megatron Rising" [[Megatron Rising - Part 1|Parts 1]] [[Megatron Rising - Part 2|and 2]] spell her name as "Black Arachnia".
*In the Japanese dub, Blackarachnia is played by [[Ryōka Yuzuki]], who also voiced ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]]. She plays this incarnation much the same, importing her unique verbal tic: a hissing ''chā'' (チャー) noise to end all sentences.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Blackarachnia''' (ブラックアラクニア ''Burakkuarakunia''), '''Elita One''' (エリータワン ''Erīta Wan'')
*''Russian:'' '''Chërnaya Vdova''' (Чёрная Вдова, "Black Widow"), '''Elita-1''' (Элита-1), '''Elita Odin''' (Элита Один, "Elita One")
