Summary
...The fight between Optimus Primal and Dinobot (BW) breaks out just as the Predacons attack. Primal falls, but is rescued by Dinobot. He confesses that Primal slipped, and the fight would not be honorable. As they continue to fight, both fall, but are rescued by Rhinox. Primal sees that Dinobot is trustworthy, and allows him to join the Maximal ranks.
The gunfire on the conflict flies far in the distance, striking a mountain and unveiling a massive energon cache, giving them all the power either team would need to return home - and, in Megatron's case, start the Great War again.
Both teams rush to the site, and begin to fight - but in Beast Modes. The massive energon exposure would render their robot modes in stasis lock in moments if they attempted to transform. Megatron, seeing the fight is lost, opens fire on Primal. Dinobot diverts the missile fired, saving Primal but causing a massive chain reaction in the mountainside. Both teams quickly flee.
As the Maximals leave, Dinobot explains that he owed Primal his life, and that his actions made them even. Primal proclaims that the Beast Wars have begun.
Notes
Technical/Animation Glitches
- Waspinator's bee-stripes on his thighs are mapped along the wrong axis.
- Often, when the 'Energon mountain' appears in the distance, a large piece of energon in the foreground clips and flickers, making it appear as though the energon is appearing and dissapearing at random.
