==Summary==Rattrap Dinobot Rhinox Cheetor Primal. Inferno Waspinator Terrorsaur Tarantulas. Blackarachnia
The Maximals use their tools to garden, trimming the wild bean vines that have grown around the Maximal base, and as Dinobot explains, could be explointed by the Predacons. Rattrap and Dinobot get into a fight. Inside, Rhinox detects Predacons coming to attack, and can't activate the Sentinel sheilds because of the two Maximals outside preoccupied with each other. Rhinox comes down the elevator with his guns ablaze, and commands the two to get inside, but the two are too busy arguing to obey. Trying to cover his teammate's withdrawl, Rhinox is hit by a strange weapon from Tarantulas. Dinobot blasts Tarantulas several times, and with the crucial shot fires, the Predacons retreat.
Inside, the Axalon's computer reports on the strange effect the device had on Rhinox - giving him a disease that causes the larger Maximal to "spontaneously discharge energy." Rhinox demonstrates this by hiccuping energy beams around the base, causing much collateral damage. It's decided a counter-virus must be found.
Rattrap and Dinobot attempt to trail the injured Tarantulas. The two get into an argument about who is to blame for Rhinox becoming sick as he is, which quickly degenerates into name-calling. Eventually forgetting why they started the arguement, the two follow his Tarantulas's scent. Running after a glimpse of the Predacon, the two fall thought a hole and onto a long slide - with a heavy boulder close behind the two. But after landing at the bottom of the slide, the boulder actual hits Tarantulas. Rattrap and Dinobot continue to bickering as they search through the underground for Tarantulas's lab.
Abord the Axalon, Optimus reveals to Cheetor that he paired the two together so they can learn to work together or kill each other. Rhinox is meanwhile kept on a life suppose system which drains energy from the rest of the (now heavily damaged) Maximal base.
Back at the Predacons base, Megatron sends his own forces to reclaim Tarantulas, so more of the virus can be developed to use on the rest of the Maximals. They head to his labratory to see if they can locate the missing arachnid there. On Tarantulas's security sensors, Blackarachnia notices the two wandering Maximal's making their way closer.
Crap I gotta go to work now. Okay I'll finish this later.
