Synopsis
While Optimus Primal and Megatron are off fighting their own life-or-death struggle, a new conflict, the "Second War", is about to unfold on a planet within a star system located in a remote part of the galaxy. The participants of this conflict are each members of the heroic Maximal Space Guard and the evil Predacon Armored Corps, respectively. Their battle is fought over a mysterious weapon hidden ancient ruins of the planet, a weapon known as the "Great King of Angolmois". It is said that the victor of this conflict, be it Maximal or Predacon, will be decided in the seventh month of the Cosmic Year 1999.
The leaders of both factions are each introduced by their predecessors. Megatron introduces Galvatron as the New Emperor of Destruction, and recalls a time when, back on Cybertron, the two once had a disagreement over how to conquer the universe. This led to a fight between the two, in which Galvatron bested Megatron after catching him off guard. Though acknowledging Galvatron's ambition and concern for those under his command, Megatron begrudgingly admits that Galvatron may carry enough dignity to succeed him as Emperor.
Meanwhile, Optimus introduces Lio Convoy as the new Maximal leader, and reflects on how he was once an ace in the Maximal Space Guard. Optimus notes that he's strong, valiant, and even kind, but also a bit too frank at times, admittedly. Nevertheless, Optimus considers Lio Convoy to be an ideal leader, and remains hopeful that he can count on Lio Convoy to do all that he can to help maintain peace throughout the universe.

Notes
- The "Maximize" in the title of this story is actually "Henshin" (変身), a Japanese word for "transformation" that was used in the Japanese dub of the Beast Wars cartoon as the Japanese equivalent/replacement for both "Maximize" and "Terrorize" in the original English version. "Maximize", rather than "Transform" is used here to both reflect that dubbing decision and because Beast Wars II would distinguish "Henshin" from "Transform" by specifically using the former for those with beast modes, while the latter would be used by those with mechanical vehicle modes.
- Also included in this catalog is a brief recap of the final events of "Other Voices, Part 2" (which had very recently aired in Japan on March 25, 1998), titled ~Convoy's Great Explosion~ (〜コンボイ大爆発編〜 Konboi Dai Bakuhatsu-hen).
- At the bottom of said recap is an ad for the then-new Beast Wars II animated series and manga series.
