Summary
The Maximals detect an energon crystal under the cairn in the Standing Stones. Rattrap thinks it reeks of 'bait' and Rhinox notes that the energon on this planet isn't natural, it has the wrong geology. The Predacons attack, putting an end to that line of speculation. Optimus Primal engages Terrorsaur and Waspinator in the air, but Terrorsaur evades his attack and (with much malice) fires directly on the buried energon crystal. Both sides duck and cover as it builds to overload- but instead of a debilitating energon wave, it sends a signal to the stars. With the crystal destroyed, both sides retreat.
