Turning into an actual fiction section. And what does the third mode stuff have to do with anything?

[[Scuba]] was the first to wield the Maximal Buster, in the episode "[[The Lake Trap]]". As the character and his toy both lacked any blaster-type weapons, the generic weapon made for an excellent addition to his dramatic entrance in the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] base. Future episodes saw all the members of [[Lio Convoy]]'s [[Lio Convoy Unit|Unit]] wielding a Maximal Buster at one point or another—most notably in "[[Galvatron Revived]]". The Maximal Buster would also be used as a generic stand-in blaster for small-scale battles where it was required for both sides to fire multiple lasers and rockets at each other without harming one another.

Additionally, the first few episodes treated most toy [[gimmick]]s and third modes (like Apache's "Angry Combat Mode") as mysterious and unknown by their peers; only being mentioned as rumors in the character introduction featurettes at the end of the first three episodes. A lot of the toy gimmick weapons had also been depicted as  over-powered to some extent; having characters only use them as a last resort, until the show no longer required them to be used sparingly.

Despite the Maximal Buster being used by almost everyone, the ''[[Beast Wars II Encyclopedia]]'' listed the weapon on [[Bighorn]]'s page as one of his weapons, likely due to the lack of any real features beyond his "Horn Thunder" and "Buffalo Missile" attacks.

Whenever a battle calls for a Maximal to use a ranged weapon to blindly fire lasers at their enemy, the Maximal Buster (サイバトロンバスター Saibatoron Basutā) is here to help!

This is a standard-model blaster used only by Maximals, whenever their special attacks are considered too powerful for a particular battle—because, let's be honest, if a battle can be won by a single blast from, let's say Bighorn's "Buffalo Missile", the fight would be over in mere seconds.

Alternatively, the Maximal Buster is also used by Maximals that don't have ranged weapons or blasters in their regular arsenal.
