	Gigastorm continues his chase of the trio into a crevasse, where the Maximals await on higher ground. Their weapons are ineffective on Gigastorm's own body, but that is not their aim, for they concentrate their fire on the crevasse's walls, buring Gigastorm under boulders! The crevasse is also on top of a natural gas deposit, as [[Tasmania Kid]] explains. Once enough gas has accumulated, the Maximals will spark it, creating an explosion! At the [[Moon (moon)\|Moon]], [[Artemis]] and [[Moon (BW)\|Moon]] commend the Maximals on their ingenious plan. The buried Gigastorm's pleas for assistance go ignored by all four Combatrons and Starscream and [[BB (BW)\|BB]] instead spend their time seeing the mysterious spaceship "land" by crashing into a mountain and rolling down. The two Predacons land and await for the spaceship's occupant, who finally reveals himself to be [[Ikard\|a courier]] bringing [[Scuba]] a delivery. Starscream and BB, incensed at the spaceship not being what they expected, open fire on the Maximal, and the courier retreats to the ship and flies off.

	Gigastorm continues his chase of the trio into a crevasse, where the Maximals await on higher ground. Their weapons are ineffective on Gigastorm's own body, but that is not their aim, for they concentrate their fire on the crevasse's walls, buring Gigastorm under boulders! The crevasse is also on top of a natural gas deposit, as [[Tasmania Kid]] explains. Once enough gas has accumulated, the Maximals will spark it, creating an explosion! At the [[Moon (moon)\|Moon]], [[Artemis]] and [[Moon (BW)\|Moon]] commend the Maximals on their ingenious plan. The buried Gigastorm's pleas for assistance go ignored by all four Combatrons and Starscream and [[BB (BW)\|BB]] instead spend their time seeing the mysterious spaceship "land" by crashing into a mountain and rolling down. The two Predacons land and await for the spaceship's occupant, who finally reveals himself to be [[Ikard\|a courier]] bringing [[Scuba]] a delivery. Starscream and BB, incensed at the spaceship not being what they expected, open fire on the Maximal, and the courier retreats to the ship and flies off.
