	With the Maximals no longer considered a threat, the Insectrons made plans to get the Predacons off their lands. [[Scissor Boy]] decided to give the Maximals a data disc with all their knowledge on the Autorollers from past encounters, while Drill Nuts and Powerhug tested out the new and improved hostility detector. Unfortunately, Drill Nuts's invention still wasn't particularly reliable. Meanwhile, Scissor Boy and [[Tasmania Kid]] got captured by the Autorollers, who wanted the location to the Insectron's lair. Boy and Kid intended to lead them into an ambush at the Maximal base instead. Drill Nuts and Powerhug weren't in on the plan, though, and when they saw their comrades held hostage, they started a landslide. Powerhug was confident Kid and Boy were skilled enough to avoid the rocks. That...was a mistake. The various combatants ended up at the feet of [[Megastorm (BW)\|Megastorm]] and the ''Galvaburg II'' instead.

	Drill Nuts then agreed to work with Lio Convoy in designing several countermeasures to stop the encroaching [[Nemesis (BW)\|Nemesis]] before it could reach Gaia and steal all the [[Angolmois Energy]]. His first design was for a freeze ray that would solidify the Angolmois Energy. Unfortunately, the energy proved too unstable and the plan failed. {{storylink\|The Great Angolmois Freezing Tactic}} Drill Nuts next designed a powerful cannon run on Angolmois Energy that could blast the Nemesis, destroying it. After much struggling, [[Lio Junior]] was able to evade Galvatron and fire the cannon. Once again, Drill Nuts' calculations were off and the blast petered out just short of impacting the artificial planet. [[NAVI (Yukikaze)\|NAVI]] berated Drill Nuts for his poor math. {{storylink\|Knock Out Nemesis}} Following this failure, NAVI took charge as the lead designer on a launching platform, though Drill Nuts still provided input.

	Starscream's next plot [[Message ball\|lured]] the Insectrons to [[Mikazuki Island]] with the promise of an [[oil]] party. Drill Nuts arrived with [[Powerhug (BW)\|Powerhug]], [[Bigmos]] and [[Tonbot]], and a recording from the Predacon told them to start without him. The super-refined oil quickly put the Insectrons into a drunken state, starting a brawl between them. The Maximals and remaining Insectrons arrived to stop the squabbling, and the two groups joined forces against an equally plastered [[Galvatron (BW)\|Galvatron]], who had inadvertently gotten into the same stash of spiked oil. In the aftermath, the Maximals and Insectrons made peace. {{storylink\|The Strongest Tag Team?}}		Starscream's next plot [[Message ball\|lured]] the Insectrons to [[Mikazuki Island]] with the promise of an [[oil]] party.

	With the Maximals no longer considered a threat, the Insectrons made plans to get the Predacons off their lands. [[Scissor Boy]] decided to give the Maximals a data disc with all their knowledge on the Autorollers from past encounters, while Drill Nuts and Powerhug tested out the new and improved hostility detector. Unfortunately, Drill Nuts's invention still wasn't particularly reliable. Meanwhile, Scissor Boy and [[Tasmania Kid]] got captured by the Autorollers, who wanted the location to the Insectron's lair. Boy and Kid intended to lead them into an ambush at the Maximal base instead. Drill Nuts and Powerhug weren't in on the plan, though, and when they saw their comrades held hostage, they started a landslide. Powerhug was confident Kid and Boy were skilled enough to avoid the rocks. That...was a mistake. The various combatants ended up at the feet of [[Megastorm]] and the ''Galvaburg II'' instead. Fortunately, the other Maximals arrived and together they and the Insectrons overcame the Predacons. Drill Nuts and Powerhug apologized for messing up the ambush plan, but Drill Nuts was content that his detector was now giving an accurate reading...there was no hostility between the Maximals and Insectrons anymore. {{storylink\|Danger!

	Megastorm soon organized a mass offensive by the Predacons, prompting the Maximals and Insectrons to fight together again. Drill Nuts continued to work on perfecting his hostility detector, much to Scissor Boy's skepticism. {{storylink\|Predacon General Offensive!}}		Megastorm soon organized a mass offensive by the Predacons, prompting the Maximals and Insectrons to fight together again.
