	[[Deadeye (BW)\|Deadeye]], one of the Predacon guards at the factory, has no qualms with his current duty, preferring it over the front lines. Originally having reservations about Steelgrave and "The Leader's" plans, but eventually turns his position around, ready to guard any acquisitions the Predacons would make. Having been to many planets on his career, Deadeye regards Nibari as entirely unremarkable, covered with disgusting organic life...one of which decides to defecate on him at that moment. He radios [[Cutter (BW)\|Cutter]], his partner, to take over his position for a bit. With the organic waste dripping down to his shoulders and legs, Deadeye resist the urge to fire off randomly, and radios Cutter to hurry up. Deadeye runs inside as Cutter takes his place, eager to get rid of the sludge. High up in the sky, Wing Saber is pleased, her plan to distract the guards by gathering the defecation of the local birds into Crossblades' liquid nitrogen gun and firing it having worked. Landing right in front of "Cutter," another guard radios in, questioning what the noise was. "Cutter" dismisses it, claiming to have tripped, and the hologram around "Cutter" disengages to reveal Stiletto underneath, the real Cutter having been taken out by her when he was coming to replace Deadeye.

	Stiletto hacks into a nearby maintenance panel and, in fifteen cycles, confirms Maximal Command's suspicions. Unsure of what to do, Wing Saber peers down at the [[~~Scavenger (BM)~~\|drones]]; nearing completion, she believes there won't be enough time to call for reinforcements before they're finished. Wing Saber requests to have access to the panel, but just as she connects, a deep rumble shakes every other Cybertronian in the building to the ground. Ritash and his fellow soldiers initiate their attack, but the battle goes poorly for them; half of them are already dead by the time Wing Saber finishes with the panel. Ritash and the others set up bombs around the factory, taking out much of the factory's machinery. Gathering up some weapons, the Nibarians retreat, and Wing Saber and the other Maximals jump into the fight, distracting the Predacons so the Nibarians can escape. Crossblades and Stiletto use their blades to cut down the Predacons, while Wing Saber strafes them in vehicle mode. More Predacons rush in from the outside and Wing Saber uses her missile launcher to take out most of them, with Stiletto cutting down the rest. The largest Predacon, [[Thrasher (BW)\|Thrasher]], attempts to use his bigger size and six arms to take down Crossblades, but her speed and weapons send him into stasis lock.

	By this point, most of the Nibarians have escaped. But as Ritash covers the last of them, a large blast takes out the ceiling, knocking the Nibarian unconscious. The Maximals stand in shock, the source of the blast having come from "The Leader", revealed to be original leader of the Decepticons: Megatron! Declaring himself the true mastermind behind this operation, Megatron prepares to blast the already fleeing Maximals, but a bomb from inside the underground tunnels goes off, distracting the Decepticon long enough for the Maximals to grab Ritash. Wing Saber blasts part of the ceiling for good measure, letting the debris fall on Megatron. Retreating, the only thing Wing Saber can think to do now was to regroup and find safety...

	[[Airazor (BW)\|Airazor]] and [[Optimus Primal (BW)\|Optimus Primal]] fly to the scene of [[Megatron (BW)\|Megatron]]'s latest scheme: an orbital weapons satellite that, when launched, will be able to fire on any location on the planet. Airazor, having only come online a few weeks prior, has doubts about herself, but leaves them aside, focusing on the mission. [[Cheetor (BW)\|Cheetor]] and [[Rhinox (BW)\|Rhinox]] have already arrived, trading fire with the ground based Predacons. [[Scorponok (BW)\|Scorponok]] attempts to sneak up on the Maximals, but Airazor manages to take him out of the fight. Primal commends her work, but is blasted out of the sky by [[Terrorsaur (BW)\|Terrorsaur]] and [[Waspinator (BW)\|Waspinator]], the former wanting revenge for his humiliating defeat at Airazor's hands. Airazor performs a swift divebomb, turning parallel to the ground just fast enough, causing Waspinator to crash. Terrorsaur, however, also manages to turn, so Airazor leads him into some nearby rocks, turning 90 degrees at the last second, and causing the reptilian Predacon to crash.

	Airazor heads over to Megatron, the Predacon leader standing at the control panel to launch the satellite. Airazor begins to fire on him, but Megatron absorbs most of the blasts. When Airazor is distracted by Cheetor and Rhinox setting off landmines set up by [[Tarantulas (BW)\|Tarantulas]], Megatron blasts her out of the sky. Falling to the ground, and with [[Dinobot (BW)\|Dinobot]] and [[Tigatron]] still racing from the ''[[Axalon (BW)\|Axalon]]'', Airazor feels her confidence slip away. Megatron grabs her with his dinosaur jaws; as she begins to slip into stasis lock, Airazor remembers something Dinobot told her: for a warrior to find true strength, they must first know themselves.
