	On Gaia, the rainy season has settled in, and the Maximals are using it as an excuse not to go out on patrol, since the naturally damaging effects of Gaia's atmosphere on their robot modes are only worsened by the monsoon. [[Apache (BW)\|Apache]] is none too impressed his his team-mates' laziness, and even opens fire to scare them when they openly ignore his orders. When Lio Convoy arrives, however, everyone snaps to attention... except for [[Diver (BW)\|Diver]], who, it turns out, is actually out enjoying the rain in his frog mode. His happy singing attracts the amorous attentions of a swarm of female frogs, forcing him to transform to robot mode to scare them off, after which he decides to head back to [[Maximal Gaia base\|base]]. While on the way, he comes upon a most bizarre and terrifying sight: the Predacons have constructed [[Galvatron Dekazura Tank\|a massive tank]], sculpted in the image of Galvatron's head! Thankfully, [[Thrust (BW)\|Thrust]] and [[Dirge (BW)\|Dirge]] are so busy arguing as they try to drive the tank that Diver is able to sprint ahead and warn all the other Maximals, who rush to meet the tank in battle. They are aided in the fight by the [[Insectron]]s [[Tonbot]] and [[Bigmos]], who carry Lio Convoy and [[Tasmania Kid]] into the air so they can attack the tank from above. Everything the Maximals throw at the tank fails to do even the slightest damage, however, and Lio Convoy gets shot out of the sky. [[Bighorn (BW)\|Bighorn]] is furious at the sight of his commander being injured and unleashes his [[Buffalo Missile]], but when it proves just as ineffective as everything else against the tank, Apache tells him to run for the nearby river.

	Tasmania Kid, meanwhile, is dropped onto the top of the tank by Tonbot, and manages to sneak his way inside, following a strange noise to the engine room. The noise, it turns out, is Galvatron grinding his teeth in his sleep, as the tank is being run off the Angolmois Energy in his unconscious body! It also turns out that the tank has no problem ploughing into the river and continuing to pursue the Maximals, but in doing so, Megastorm actually plays right into Apache's hands: Diver and [[Scuba]] are waiting in the river to plant bombs on the tank's vulnerable underbelly! The bombs blow the tank open and it begins to sink into the river, as Kid quickly escapes from within, and Lio Convoy reappears just in time to clobber Megastorm and make him accidentally bump the tank's self-destruct switch! The tank explodes dramatically, but everyone is okay, naturally.
