[[Optimus Primal (BW)\|Optimus Primal]] wakes with a start... and finds himself in an unfamiliar cavern next to [[Megatron (BW)\|Megatron]]! Still under the effects of the aggression-enhancing [[energon]], Primal immediately leaps for Megatron... only for an electrified force field to activate and shock the [[Maximal]] leader into submission. As Primal swears violent vengeance upon the Predacon leader, Megatron gloats that [[Tarantulas (BW)\|Tarantulas]]'s weapon worked better than he expected, only for Optimus to realize that the jolt has purged the last of the corruption from his systems and restored his faculties. Although Megatron's content to sit tight, confident that his forces will eventually put out a search for him, a newly lucid Primal suggests they put their differences aside for the moment and work together to escape. Primal does his best to punch and slash his way free as Megatron simply stands back and watches; when Primal asks if the Predacon leader can remember anything about the ones who kidnapped him, Megatron points out that they could manipulate holograms; they might not even ''be'' in a cave at all. At that moment, an unfamiliar voice cuts in to assure the pair that, while a clever deduction, they are exactly where they think!

	That voice belongs to [[Tigatron (BW)\|Tigatron]], who introduces both himself and the rest of his comrades—[[Polar Claw]], [[Saberback]], [[Inferno (BW)\|Inferno]], and [[Airazor (BW)\|Airazor]]—as neither Maximal nor Predacon, but as the "[[Children of the Vok (group)\|Children of the Vok]]", a group of wayward Cybertronian [[protoform]]s who seek to live in harmony with their environment under the watchful eye of [[Vok\|their alien benefactors]]. Megatron demands to speak with these Vok, but Tigatron just scoffs that Megatron isn't worthy. Airazor and Polar Claw explain that the Vok want the Maximals and Predacons gone: whether that means leaving the planet or merely entering stasis until the aliens have completed their fragile experiments. A defiant Megatron growls that he'll do no such thing, and demands a direct audience with the Vok; when he tries to blast Tigatron, however, the shot merely bounces off the force field prison. As Tigatron and the others take their leave, Megatron rounds on Optimus for saying nothing during the confrontation. The Maximal leader calmly points out that, while Megatron blustered, he was focussed on something else: a potential way out. The force field deflected their weaponsfire, but easily allowed the dust they kicked up to pass through; furthermore, the Children all transformed into their [[beast mode]]s to exit the cavern. Quickly deducing the nature of the trap, Primal transforms into gorilla mode and completely bypasses the forcefield, much to Megatron's astonishment, and proposes a temporary truce until they can escape and return to their respective factions.

	From afar, the three Vok watch the uneasy alliance with some interest: while [[Tonrar]]'s tired of the Cybertronians and wishes to see them permanently destroyed, [[Pakak]] suggests they engineer a second encounter between the Vok-allied Cybertronians and their enemies. If they survive, then they'll open a dialogue with the two... if they ''don't'', then they'll have eliminated two problems at once. Indeed, by the time that the two make it out into the jungle, the Children of the Vok have already coordinated a holographically-assisted ambush against the pair, and as Optimus and Megatron bicker, Tigatron and the others spring the trap! While Optimus deals with Tigatron, Airazor, and Saberback, Megatron takes out Polar Claw with a blast from his tyrannosaur mouth-cannon, then contemplates killing his rival amidst the chaos... but ultimately decides against it, and spins around to bifurcate Saberback as he and Inferno try to sneak up on the Predacon leader.

In addition to Saberback and Polar Claw, the other Children of the Vok comprise the three remaining characters who debuted in the first season of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)\|Beast Wars]]''—[[Tigatron]], [[Airazor (BW)\|Airazor]], and [[Inferno (BW)\|Inferno]]. Of the three, Tigatron and Airazor have a pre-existing connection with the enigmatic aliens: they were abducted by the Vok during the "[[Other Visits (Part 1)\|Other Visits]]" storyline, and returned as the merged "[[Tigerhawk]]" entity in the third season episode "[[Other Victories]]" to act on behalf of the Vok.		* The gang's all here!

	* It's probably no coincidence that Tigatron, the apparent spokesman of the group, is the one who most strongly advocates for a wild, naturalistic existence—the ''Beast Wars'' television show consistently depicted Tigatron as a 'bot with close, quasi-spiritual ties to Earth's biosphere.		* It's probably no coincidence that Tigatron, the apparent spokesman of the group, is the one who most strongly advocates for a wild, naturalistic existence—the ''Beast Wars'' television show consistently depicted Tigatron as a 'bot with close, quasi-spiritual ties to Earth's biosphere.
	* Inferno, on the other hand, never really had a close encounter with the Vok, but ''does'' speak of them as his "god-queens" and the "colony" in reference to his cartoon counterpart's insane, ant-like behavior.		* Inferno, on the other hand, never really had a close encounter with the Vok, but ''does'' speak of them as his "god-queens" and the "colony" in reference to his cartoon counterpart's insane, ant-like behavior.
