Artemis then recognizes that the way to motivate the Insectrons is through their friendship with the Maximals. Moon replies that this friendship seemed forced.

Synopsis

Oh, the horror!

On Gaea, the Maximals and the Predacons fight over the precious Angolmois contained within the planet. Megastorm orders the Autorollers to create a giant fortress on Gaea. They obey, and destroy a forest, burning it to the ground. Meanwhile, the Combatrons are told to eliminate all of their enemies, whether they be Maximal or Insectron. At their lunar sanctuary, Artemis and Moon observe the Predacon attack. Artemis is optimistic, but Moon remains unconvinced, believing the Insectrons are unwilling to fight.

On Gaea, Lio Convoy and Apache join Bighorn and the other Maximals in trying to extinguish the forest fire. Tasmanian Kid spies on the Autorollers, who are in the process of constructing the new base, to the delight of Thrust and Dirge. Bighorn joins Tasmania Kid, explaining that he put out the fire, and Diver and Scuba are rushing to join them. Autojetter spots Bighorn and Kid, and the other Predacons are alerted to their presence, staring a battle. Starscream sees the explosions from afar, wondering if Lio Convoy has arrived. Seeing him on the ground with Apache, Starscream and BB commence bombing the two. Elsewhere, Scissor Boy and Drill Nuts emerge from hiding with a device invented by Drillnuts. Drillnuts claims the device will help them avoid battles between the Maximals and the Predacons, but Scissor Boy is a bit incredulous. They are soon met by Powerhug, who rolls into the duo. At the Moon, Moon believes that he knows a way to make the Insectrons fight. Artemis, dying of suspense, grabs Moon by the neck to gain the information. Moon tells her to just keep watching.

As Starscream and BB bomb a mountain, Mantis inside is disturbed and moans about the Maximals and Predacons. Bigmos and Tonbot join the fight on the Maximals' side and cause the Predacons to flee. Artemis and Moon rejoice in the Insectrons' alliance with the Maximals. At the Galvaburg II, Megastorm chews out the defeated Predacons for their failure and hopes that his brother doesn't wake from his slumber. In the forest, the Maximals debate the Insectrons' trustworthiness and Lio Convoy recalls Bigmos's previous speech about desiring a peaceful existence away from war.

Artemis is still confused by the relationship between the Maximals and Insectrons. Moon tries to clear things up, by showing the Insectrons fighting the Maximals. One particular instance has Powerhug, Scissor Boy, and Drill Nuts defending their territory against Bighorn, Diver, and Tasmania Kid. Powerhug handles Bighorn with martial arts moves, Drill Nuts and Diver investigate why one of Drill Nuts's missiles didn't explore, and Kid tries to defeat Boy with a rock, using the logic of rock, paper, scissors. In Mantis's chamber, he goes up against Lio Convoy, who tries to rescue Apache from the Insectron's clutches.

Artemis soon recognizes that the way to motivate the Insectrons was their friendship with the Maximals. Moon replies that this friendship seemed forced. Moon tells Artemis that she "shouldn't lean forward like that", before noting that they've run out of time. The two say they'll take a break from "II Report" and that they'll see their viewers next week.
