Synopsis
[edit]When the Decepticons begin investigating a volcano, the newest addition to the Autobots, Sixtrain, uses his terrifying, Matrix-powered "Red Mode" to send Sixwing packing. Discovering that the Decepticons were attempting to excavate something from beneath the volcano, the Autobots begin digging themselves, and soon discover a hunk of what appears to be a Cybertronian spacecraft's hull and a piece of metal bearing a mysterious symbol. Just as the Autobots realize that this means there must have been Transformers on Earth before, the Decepticons return to claim the treasures they have unearthed. The Train Team merge back into Sixtrain and the battle continues. News of the battle soon reaches the other Autobots back at their base, and they speed to the aid of their comrades, hoping this mysterious "Mount St. Hilary" holds secrets that will help them reach their goals...

Notes
[edit]- The mysterious piece of metal with an insectoid insignia would likely be remnants of Beast Wars Megatron's bomb that he used to hide the Ark, as established in "The Agenda (Part 2)". The other piece being part of a ship's hull might mean it's a piece of the Axalon, since a cross-section of that ship's bridge had been installed within the volcano in "Optimal Situation".
- Desire's analysis of the Predacon remnants places the events of Beast Wars at roughly three million years prior to the modern day for the Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity, as opposed to the four million stated in the original English release of the show.
