Beast Wars cartoon

The Maximal Silverbolt and the Predacon Blackarachnia were united under an uneasy truce while separated from their allies and pursued by the renegade Tarantulas. When it became apparent that Tarantulas was no longer a threat, Blackarachnia prepared to break the truce by shooting Silverbolt in the back, but before she could fire she was attacked in turn by a saber-toothed cat. Ever the gallant hero, Silverbolt rescued her by knocking the cat (and himself) over the edge of a chasm. Bad Spark
