Summary
Vastly outnumbered, Dinobot, Rattrap, and Cheetor attempt to hold off the Predacons some distance form their base, to allow Rhinox to complete his mission to travel through the Allspark. When Megatron orders them to take no survivors, Silverbolt protests, saying they should let the Maximals surrender, only to be struck by the irate Predacon commander. When Silverbolt is preplexed by their resistance, Megatron realizes that they are keeping them from their base. He orders Waspinator and Silverbolt to head to the Axalon. Cheetor takes to the air, and Rattrap converts to vehicle mode, ordering Dinobot to hop on and provide cover fire (disgusting the former Predacon).
Tarantulas, however, is using the psychic link to force Blackarachnia to search for information on the Golden Disks. While she searches through the files, she discovers something of importance, but refuses to show Tarantulas. When Tarantulas is rendered unconciouss by a boulder, Blackarachnia downloads the information, then destroys the computer, claiming that it was bobytrapped.
Reaching the Axalon, Silverbolt is shot down by the autoguns, and captured by the Maximals. Dinobot prepares to destroy him, but Rattrap and Cheetor prevent him, instead taking him in to repair him. Rhinox, who has finished, tells the Maximals to they must hold the Predacons off for a little while longer. Inside the Axalon, a charge hits the device Rhinox was connected to, travelling to a stasis pod with a blank protoform. Outside, the shields fail under the fire, and the Maximals engage—to discover that they are out of ammo. The Predacons seriously injure the Maximals.
Having waited a long time for their victory, the Predacons approach, prepared to dilver the killing blow. Before they can finish the Maximals off, there is an exlposion in the hull of the Axalon. When the smoke clears, the Maximals and Predacons alike are shocked to see a new participant—Optimus Primal. The Predacons attempt to destroy him, but Primal, now with his own Transmetal body, causes the Predacons to scatter. Primal takes to the air, dispatching the rest of the Predacons. Megatron attempts to kill Primal, but Silverbolt knocks Megatron off a cliff, defecting to the Maximals.
At the Darksyde, Blackarachnia tells Megatron that Dinobot stole the Disks and destroyed the computers. Megatron then declares that the Beast Wars has entered a new phase, while, unseen, binary code flashes across Blackarachnia's eyes.
Notes
Trivia
- After Rattrap throws a rock in the air as an example of what would happen if they moved away from the cover of the boulder, it's blasted into a tiny pebble and hits the ground. All 3 Maximals "eyes" then pop out of their heads towards the rock in the fashion of the eyeball gag in classic Tex Avery cartoons.
Technical/Animation glitches
- Glitch
Continuity errors
- Tarantulas and Waspinator arrive again mid-battle, despite having already arrived at the end of the previous episode.
- Waspinator and Silverbolt take off for the Maximal base twice, clearly going over the Maximals' heads a second time as they reassert the danger of the situation in different phrasing than before.
- Dinobot says his weapon is depleted, so what are those ammunition bandoliers he's got criscrossed over his chassis?
Transformers references
- While Blackarachnia is searching through Megatron's stuff, Starscream's head is in the pile. Wonder how he got that...
- During one of Rhinox's trips through the Matrix, near the end of the episode, the Autobot Matrix of Leadership is seen floating.
- When Rattrap askes where Rhinox whent, he described the Matrix as "where all are one".
