The two lovers from opposing sides arrive at a [[Mount St. Hilary\|volcanic mountain]] where Megatron had previously dug a tunnel and sealed it back up. They work together to unearth it. Back aboard [[Transwarp cruiser\|Ravage's ship]], Megatron is interrogated in a holding cell. Tarantulas is revealed to have been an ally of Ravage all along, having been planted into Megatron's gang by the [[Predacon Secret Police]]. Ravage, meanwhile, intends to leave no living witnesses.

	Megatron then reveals to Ravage the real reason he stole the Golden Disk from Cybertron: It not only contained the location of a large energon source, but also a secret message from the [[Megatron (G1)\|original Megatron]]. Recalling his original loyalty to the ancient Decepticon leader, Ravage frees his Predacon captive and joins forces with him. {{storylink\|The Agenda (Part 2)}} The Predacons launch a full assault on the ''Axalon'', which the Maximals barely overcome, destroying Ravage and his ship in the process. Megatron retreats, but not back to his base. This worries Optimus, who orders a pursuit.

	A massive stasis pod emblazoned with an X is discovered, containing the monstrous "[[Rampage (BW)\|Protoform X]]". The Maximals and Predacons fight over it, but an explosion separates Blackarachnia and Silverbolt from their respective teams. They work together to get back to the others, but run afoul the newly awakened Protoform X.

	During a field mission, the Maximals discover a factory yard full of bodies whose sparks were all removed. A battle with the Vehicon Generals sees Blackarachnia trapped inside the factory alone with Thrust, who begins to show some unusual concern for her. Blackarachnia deduces that this factory was used by Megatron to steal everyone's sparks, and begins to suspect that Thrust's spark may actually be that of the missing Silverbolt.

	Having been originally created from a Maximal protoform, Blackarachnia refuses to die for Megatron's sake and ejects him from the ''Ark'' with its security system. She and Silverbolt put Optimus Prime on life support, stabilizing the storm. The other Maximals arrive and work to repair their ancestor's damaged form. Optimus Primal takes Prime's fading spark into his body to save it, which causes Primal to mutate into a new, larger "Optimal Optimus" form. The Predacons are driven off from the ''Ark'' but succeed in sinking the unguarded ''Axalon'' to the bottom of a deep river. The Maximals salvage what they can from their former base and establish a new one inside the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s mountain to safeguard it. Blackarachnia joins Silverbolt as a Maximal-allied Predacon. Optimus Prime is repaired and the timestorm finally ends. {{storylink\|Optimal Situation}}		Having been originally created from a Maximal protoform, Blackarachnia refuses to die for Megatron's sake and ejects him from the ''Ark'' with its security system.

	The Maximals—[[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity\|Optimus Primal]], [[Cheetor (BW)\|Cheetor]], [[Rattrap (BW)\|Rattrap]], and [[Rhinox (BW)\|Rhinox]]—are soon met by the Predacons—Megatron, [[Scorponok (BW)\|Scorponok]], [[Waspinator (BW)\|Waspinator]], [[Tarantulas (BW)\|Tarantulas]], and [[Terrorsaur (BW)\|Terrorsaur]]—and a battle ensues, from which the Maximals retreat. En route back to their base, they are met by Dinobot, who challenges Optimus Primal for Maximal leadership. {{storylink\|Beast Wars (Part 1)}} Their duel is cut short by another Predacon attack, which unearths a large deposit of energon on a faraway mountain. Both teams race to secure it, with Dinobot joining the Maximals. At the mountain, both sides clash in Beast Mode until Megatron risks transforming to fire a missile at Optimus. But Dinobot deflects the missile to hit the energon, causing a massive explosion. Both teams escape and Optimus declares that the [[Beast Wars (event)\|Beast Wars]] have only just begun. {{storylink\|Beast Wars (Part 2)}}		The Maximals—[[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity\|Optimus Primal]], [[Cheetor (BW)\|Cheetor]], [[Rattrap (BW)\|Rattrap]], and [[Rhinox (BW)\|Rhinox]]—are soon met by the Predacons—Megatron, [[Scorponok (BW)\|Scorponok]], [[Waspinator (BW)\|Waspinator]], [[Tarantulas (BW)\|Tarantulas]], and [[Terrorsaur (BW)\|Terrorsaur]]—and a battle ensues, from which the Maximals retreat.

The next day, another altercation at the stones sees Optimus released the probe, ~~but~~ which mysteriously vanishes. {{storylink\|Chain of Command (BW)\|Chain of Command}} The self-serving Terrorsaur makes a bid for power against Megatron when he finds a floating mountain full of raw energon that supercharges his body. However, his reign is cut short when Optimus and Rattrap blow up the mountain. {{storylink\|Power Surge (episode)\|Power Surge}}		A month later, Cheetor finds himself captured by the Predacon scientist Tarantulas, but is rescued by Rattrap. {{storylink\|The Web}} Cheetor then gets himself teleported inside the Predacon base during a lightning storm, but uses his wits to escape. {{storylink\|Equal Measures}} The Maximals later investigate a mysterious rock formation of [[Standing Stones\|standing stones]] that bear an unnatural design.
