	~~{{gamestub}}~~		==="The Saga's Latest" (Part 1)===
			[[Grimlock (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Grimlock]] complains to fellow [[Dinobot (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Dinobots]] about how many fights they've had that end before they really start. [[Snarl (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Snarl]] points out that someone omnipotent always gets involved and messes things up. [[Sludge (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Sludge]] suggests they take a cue from the [[Terrorcon (Earth Wars)\|Terrorcons]] and start a splinter faction, but [[Slag (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Slug]] argues that they already are one and that five bots is too small for a whole splinter faction. With Slug's help, Grimlock gets an idea: they get into a fight with a team that may be a little more powerful than them, then send for a [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System#Transformers: Earth Wars\|C.O.M.B.A.T. Bot]] from [[Cybertron (planet)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Cybertron]] to become their sixth member. They agree that their opponent must be another [[combiner]] team, but rule out [[Predaking (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Predaking]] due to their familiarity with him, and ultimately settle on targeting [[Devastator (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Devastator]].

			==="The Saga's Latest" (Part 2)===
			[[Megatron (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Megatron]] muses to [[Soundwave (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Soundwave]] about his fatigue from dealing with the Terrorcons. [[Tarn (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Tarn]] proposes they wait until [[Sideways (Armada)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Sideways]] finds a weakness, but his leader is sick of waiting and Soundwave is suspicious that he's playing both sides. Megatron instead orders that they send a team to storm their [[Primal Basilica#Transformers: Earth Wars\|base]]. He summons [[Bonecrusher (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Bonecrusher]] and tells him to get the [[Constructicon (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Constructicons]] ready to carry out the task. Soundwave and Tarn out the simplicity of the plan, prompting Megatron to change things up by having Sideways tell his "teammates" that the Constructicons have gone rogue in the hopes that the other [[Megatron (Armada)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Mega]][[Megatron (BW)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|trons]] will try to recruit them (in the process also testing the loyalty of their mole). Then, they'll send in the [[Seeker (body-type)#Transformers: Earth Wars\|Seekers]]!

{{gamestub}}

==Gameplay==
This event was an individual totaliser, meaning players earned points and unlocked prizes on their own as opposed to with their [[Transformers: Earth Wars#Alliances|Alliance]].

The top prize was a single [[Crystal (Earth Wars)|Random Hunting Crystal]], and due to the event having 10 prestiges, they could be earned multiple times.

Random Hunting Crystal contains a random color-coded Hunting Crystal that in itself contains their own set of prizes, with the most coveted prize from each Hunting Crystal being as followed:
*Blue Hunting Crystal: a [[Transformers: Earth Wars#Combiner|combiner]] upgrade skip item.
*Green Hunting Crystal: a [[Transformers: Earth Wars#Standard bots|bot Ability]] upgrade skip item.
*Red Hunting Crystal: a bot research skip item.
*Purple Hunting Crystal: a [[Transformers: Earth Wars#Bases and buildings|building]] upgrade skip item.
*Yellow Hunting Crystal: a guaranteed non-duplicate standard Bot of a 4-star rating.
Besides these, Hunting Crytals are also (and more likely) to give either Premium Crystals, Premium [[Transformers: Earth Wars#C.O.M.B.A.T. Bots|C.O.M.B.A.T.]] Chips, [[Transformers: Earth Wars#Resources|Spark]], C.O.M.B.A.T. Spark or Combiner Spark.
