	The ''Dinosaur'' loses its repulsor shield and the Intruder corvette starts poking holes in their hull.

	Apelinq gets a panicked [[Bazooka (BW)\|Bazooka]] to cease trying to fight the tractor beam and try to fly down with it, landing them suspiciously close to the source of the transmission. The team find stone ziggurats with vast dragon statues, many broken; [[Saberback]] has a sense of déjà vu and is unnerved to find the stone feels warm in a way his sensors can't detect. As Apelinq gives commands for searches, Sabreback asks if he can swap places with Bazooka and stay at the ziggurat site.

	On the ''Dinosaur'', they've learned that the Intruders are going to crash near the away team but they have no way to ''contact'' the team thanks to odd interference from the planet's core. Synapse arrives and subtly steers Longrack into contacting the engineering team (pissing off Magmatron by distracting him from desperate work) rather than talk about finding Hydra, and suggests that Killer Punch, who is worried and wants to find his missing friend, is ''too vital'' to leave the bridge right now. Longrack is convinced that Killer Punch can be spared though and, to everyone's surprise, including his own and Synapse's, he snaps at the political officer when he tries to overrule him again.

	The ziggurat shoots out two tractor beams, one slowing the shuttle (Rampage is ''not'' happy) and one for the ''Dinosaur''. This extra push won't stop them crashing but, Magmatron realizes, will slow them enough that they can use the retro thrusters and land the ship. It hits hard and skids its way towards the away team, but the final crash is stopped when the mighty spaceship transforms into Trypticon's theropod form and plants its feet down. Once stopped, it transforms into its city form, right next to an amazed Crazybolt.

	After a few orbital cycles of hard work, Magmatron and his crew of workers manage to the new Dinosaur City more or less functional. With Metascan Omega granting their last boon, permission to stay, they could turn this war machine into an interstellar trading hub. (Their crew even now includes Bruton, eager to be part of the crew and, with every worker needed, he is accepted... with weapons disabled) Now it is time for Magmatron to leave. Half the crew are staying behind—a bitter Synapse in the brig until the war is over and he can face trial—and Longrack proclaiming himself mayor of Dinosaur City. Bazooka and Crazybolt (on the verge of a [[Conjunx Endura]]), Guiledart, and Rampage are all coming with Magmatron to join the [[Grand Uprising]] on Cybertron.

	As the turbine goes down on the ''Dinosaur'', Magmatron and Guiledart are stuck in a contracting-wall deathtrap. Magmatron fakes a tantrum that leaves all sensors and cameras destroyed, then uses the cover to dig into the ship's circuits and fake that the walls have joined. The Predacons are free and 12 frames from the Captain. Dead-End, meanwhile, is panicking as the whole engine room begins to fall to ~~bit~~. On the bridge, Longrack is panicking at the loss of orbit, the quiet, and the lack of crew that, he believes, could have solved the problem. When Synapse strides into the room, Longrack expresses his frustration: he's sick of these Predacons pushing him around, man! Synapse is happy that at least ''one'' bot is on the 'right side' and declares death to all enemies.

	Apelinq comes online to find a bizarre, life-filled realm where whales soar through a sky and each one has an ecosystem on it. Here, Saberback says, he's been unable to manifest anything. To proceed, the Predacon says they need to head for a pyramid with an eye carved into its center Annoyingly, it turns out that however far they go they still never get any closer to it, as they turn out to be spinning around it without realizing; Apelinq identifies this and they get out of the perspective trap.

	Down on LGC-8803, [[Hardhead (BW)\|Hard Head]] leads his three-bot to the transmission source, uneasy with being in charge and unable to shake the feeling that they're being watched. They find the source is yet another stone structure and Hard Head feels uneasy about this weird, out-of-place metal sphere that [[Crazybolt (BW)\|Crazybolt]]'s poking. He's right to as [[Bruton\|it suddenly transforms]] and goes on the attack, with a [[Psychokhan\|centaur buddy]] from inside the structure! The Predacons fight hard against the strangers and force them back, but centaur is about to dispatch Crazybolt when two stranger Cybertronians show up, one of them successfully taking down the threat!

	In his search of ''Dinosaur'', Killer Punch finds only walls where Apelinq's lab door should be, and only white noise on the comms, and the wall ''moving'' as something ''breathes''. He tries to run for it, flicking between sensor frequencies to track which bulkheads are moving, and dives into the ducts, opened up by a gear-shredder missile. Here, he's able to regroup and think: if the ''Dinosaur'' can transform its insides, why didn't he know before and why is it using this against him? As he heads to engineering, he's unaware that the missile just transformed into a person...

	The Predacons are led to Trans-Mutate's makeshift shelter and use her cobbled-together repair rig to start fixing up Bazooka. The whole situation leaves them awkward, more so when the intimidating and quick-to-anger X turns up. Things calm down when they realise that the Builders have committed acts of cruelty on the two, something that leaves Hard Head disgusted. Nobody's gonna be renditioning ''these'' two now the truth is out. The fugitives fill them in on [[Alone Together\|what's up]] with the [[Destructon]]s.

	Every time Apelinq scans the ziggurats, he gets a different result but in a fifth one, he finds Saberback is ''inside'' it.

The only time anything of note happened was when [[Killer Punch]], the intelligence specialist, got paranoid about a 'stowaway' and searched the whole ship in a mad panic. Afterwards, he had to have his systems gone over by [[Apelinq (BM)\|Apelinq]] and people are still worried about his mental state.

In private, Hydra tells him that the specifics of the signal make him think it might be the [[Resistance (BWU)\|Resistance]]! Meanwhile, when sneaking off to talk to the Captain, Longrack instead finds Synapse and, looking for a reason why he was there, blabs about the signal.

	On board the ''Dinosaur'', on an indefinite mission, a [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacon]] crew kills time playing cards; their officers are all [[Maximal]]s, a [[Builder of Cybertron\|Builder]] trick to keep both groups divided and unable to challenge the captain. The only time anything of note happened was when [[Killer Punch]], the intelligence specialist, got paranoid about a 'stowaway' and searched the whole ship in a mad panic. Afterwards, he had to have his systems gone over by [[Apelinq (BM)\|Apelinq]] and people are still worried about his mental state.

	On the bridge, Hydra has picked up another odd Cybertronian signal and Killer Punch fibs that it might be Terran so Longrack will let his buddy look into it. In private, Hydra tells him that the specifics of the signal make him think it might be the [[Resistance]]! Meanwhile, when sneaking off to talk to the Captain, Longrack instead finds Synapse and, looking for a reason why he was there, blabs about the signal. That's bad news for Hydra, who has cleaned up [[Lio Convoy]]'s call to arms and is engrossed in it, unsure how to think about the message, when the political officer comes to call. The comms 'bot is still thinking Synapse can help him understand what to think when Synapse shoots him in the head.

	As the turbine goes down on the ''Dinosaur'', Magmatron and Guiledart are stuck in a contracting-wall deathtrap. Magmatron fakes a tantrum that leaves all sensors and cameras destroyed, then uses the cover to dig into the ship's circuits and fake that the walls have joined. The Predacons are free and 12 frames from the Captain. Dead-End, meanwhile, is panicking as the whole engine room begins to fall to bit. On the bridge, Longrack is panicking at the loss of orbit, the quiet, and the lack of crew that, he believes, could have solved the problem. When Synapse strides into the room, Longrack expresses his frustration: he's sick of these Predacons pushing him around, man!
