	While patrolling a snowy region of [[Earth\|Energoa]], [[Blackarachnia (BW)\|Blackarachnia]] and [[Tarantulas (BW)\|Tarantulas]] run afoul of [[Tigatron]], the [[Maximal]] samurai ronin. Tigatron cuts Tarantulas neatly in half, but Blackarachnia manages to blind him with her webbing and escape with Tarantulas's remains (the halved spiderbot is still alive, somehow). Tigatron's ponderings turn from his failure in battle to that of his beloved [[Airazor (BW)\|Airazor]].

	Meanwhile, the Maximals arrive at what they thought would be the stasis pod but is instead the [[Axalon (BW)\|Axalon]], which they'd left hovering in orbit but has crashed down into the ocean. [[Optimus Primal]], Airazor and [[Rattrap (BW)\|Rattrap]] investigate their partly flooded ship and find the remains of their Maximal shipmates, who had all died during the space battle with Megatron that led to Energoa. The difference now is that their corpses have been partially eaten! They find a huge capsule marked "X" but it is empty. Cue [[Rampage (BW)\|Rampage]], who bursts from the waters behind them.
