It turned out ''[[Gung Ho (BWN)|Gung Ho]]'''s warp engine was activated by the Black Ball, which, in twist, was able to talk. During the warp, the Black Ball told the Maximals about the Angolmois capsules, which were totally seven and originated from the final conflict between [[Lio Convoy]] and [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] on the [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]]. Upon hearing Lio Convoy's name, [[Big Convoy]] felt a little confused, since the name sounded familiar yet he had no memory about it.

Upon hearing Lio Convoy's name, [[Big Convoy (BW)|Big Convoy]] feels a bit of déjà vu.


After the ship warped out, the Maximal learned they were approaching the planet [[Sandron (planet)|Sandron]] {{m-}} only to encounter the Predacon flagship ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]''. The rookies started to panic and suggested they should fight against the Predacon immediately, except for [[Heinrad]], who replied there were no powerful weapon for a trainee ship in calms. Big Convoy quickly got to the driver seat and turned the ship away just before the ''Dinosaur'' began to firing at the ''Gung Ho''. Big Convoy ordered the rookies to board the escape pots and land on the planet, assuring he would be fine. After the rookies escaped, they watched the ship got hit and exploded.

The Predacon was happy to see the destruction of the Maximal ship, but [[Magmatron]] thought those Maximal couldn't be killed so easily. He then ordered the Predacons to land on the planet to search any Maximal survivor to kill them and retrieve the capsule. [[Dead End (BWN)|Dead End]] volunteered for the task because he wanted to fight the famous one-man army, Big Convoy.

After landing on the planet, the Maximals began to search the capsule. They find the capsule after seeing a mirage. However, soon after retrieving the capsule, they were confronted by Dead End, who was disappointed to learn Big Convoy wasn't there. Dead End beat the Maximals with ease, except for [[Cohrada]], who showed up from the sand and fought the Predacon after everyone was knocked down.

Meanwhile, it turned out that ''Gung Ho'' was just damaged and landed on one of the asteroids around Sandron. Big Convoy told [[NAVI (Gung Ho)|NAVI]] to switch off the smoking device used to fake the ship's destruction. While they were repairing the ship, Big Convoy asked NAVI to search the record of Lio Convoy. After seeing the records, Big Convoy learned Lio Convoy, a rookie commander, was missing in action. Big Convoy asked NAVI if he and Lio Convoy had served together in any unit while NAVI told him they didn't, making Big Convoy more confusing.

Back to the battle on Sandron, Cohrada attacked Dead End fiercely. Despite unharmed, Dead End was in passive and a bit inferiority until he fired one of his shells that he used to guard against Cohrada's "shadowless kick". Cohrada destroyed the shell, but Dead End then knocked him down immediately. Dead End was satisfied to meet such a fierce warrior. Meanwhile, the rest of the Maximal ran into [[Sling]], who demanded the capsule.

Just before Dead End was about to finish Cohrada while Sling was about to attack the rookies, they suddenly got bombarded by Big Convoy with his [[Big Cannon]] from a high altitude. Dead End was happy to see Big Convoy finally, only to receive the retreat order because the flag ship sensed some [[Sandron|potential threat beneath the sand]]. He retreated unwilling, while Sling felt relieved because he was nearly killed.

Synopsis

[edit]

It turns out that the Gung Ho's warp engine is activated by the Black Ball, which is able to talk. During the warp, the Black Ball tells the Maximals about the Angolmois Capsules, which number seven and originated from the final conflict between Lio Convoy and Galvatron on the Nemesis. Upon hearing Lio Convoy's name, Big Convoy feels a bit of déjà vu.

After the ship warps out, the Maximals learn they are approaching the planet Luxor located at point 57 in the 5th Cosmos—only to encounter the Predacon flagship Dinosaur. The rookies start to panic and suggest they fight the Predacons immediately, except, as Heinrad points out, their trainee ship lacks a powerful weapon. Big Convoy turns the ship away just before the Dinosaur begins firing at the Gung Ho. Big Convoy orders the rookies to board the escape pods and land on the planet, assuring them he would be fine. After the rookies escape, they watch the ship get hit and explode.

The Predacons are happy to see the destruction of the Maximal ship, but Magmatron believes that those Maximals couldn't be killed so easily. He asks DNAVI if she has detected anything. DNAVI confirms there are several living body signal leaving before the ship's destruction. Magmatron then orders the Predacons to land on the planet to search for and kill any Maximal survivors while retrieving the capsule. Dead End volunteers for the task as he wants to fight the famous one-man army, Big Convoy.

After landing on the planet, Break, Longrack, and Stampy find Colada is missing and feel very depressed because of Big Convoy's death. Heinrad tells them Big Convoy had already ordered them, so it is now their mission to investigate the planet. Longrack then becomes high-spirited and aggressive, acting like a leader before setting out. They find the capsule after seeing a mirage due to the Angolmois Energy. However, soon after retrieving the capsule, they are confronted by Dead End, who is disappointed to learn Big Convoy isn't there. Dead End beats up the Maximals with ease, except for Colada, who rises from the sand and fights the Predacon. Colada tells the others to flee while he stalls the Predacon.
