Motorarm arrives, providing a boost to the Autobots and Maximals against the threat of two Megatrons.

Synopsis

With Brawl in tow, the Decepticon Megatron arrives through the time warp to the Beast Wars. Teaming up with the Predacon Megatron, he joined in the massive forest battle.

The Maximal Motorarm also arrives on Energoa (albeit through unknown means) and joins up with Optimus Primal's Maximals. He finds himself pitted against Tarantulas but fends him off with his mighty "Beetle Claw".

Both factions then take formation opposite each other for the final strike, with each side combining their energies into a massive attack. With Motorarm leading the way (going horn to tail against Megatron himself, in fact), the Maximal-Autobot force launch their energies at the Predacons and Decepticons.

Notes

• What happens to the time- and universe-travelling characters after this isn't elaborated on. As they do not appear in the Beast Wars cartoon, it is assumed that they returned to their rightful places in time and the multiverse.
• The Tarantulas that makes an appearance in this episode is actually the 10th Anniversary toy.
• This chapter was included on a DVD with the Japanese version of "Possession" and a promotional reel for Transformers, including comments from Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay.
• The accompanying Data File notes several facts about Gimlet, including his Tech Specs. His running speed is 50 kilometers per hour, his jump distance is 7 meters, and his maximum output is 1,200,000 horsepower. In robot mode, his weapons include the Beetle Claw and the Magma Horn.
