The flying mountain was casually floating over a jungle, minding its own business, when Terrorsaur, out catching a snack, happened to stumble on it. After transforming to robot mode to test the energon's stability, the Predacon received a huge dose of power. Like any good devious traitor, he immediately zoomed off to overthrow Megatron. Fortunately Cheetor had also spotted the mountain and witnessed its strange effects on Terrorsaur, and was able to run back to the Axalon to warn the other Maximals.

Not long after, the effects of the super energon began to wear off, and Terrorsaur returned to the mountain to recharge. Unfortunately for him, he was tailed by Tarantulas. Also arriving at the mountain were Optimus Primal and Rattrap, who aimed to destroy a potential Predacon power source. Despite some interference from Tarantulas, Rattrap was able to plant enough explosives to destroy the mountain. Power Surge
