When White Leo led a group of Beastformers to rescue the slaves held inside a Decepticon factory, he contacted Platinum Tiger through a visual communication device. However, Platinum Tiger was unable to help them, as the carnivorous piragilons infested the swamp around the factory. Battleship Maximus, however, was able to drain the swamp of its water, leaving the flopping piraglions and allowing the Beastformers safe passage into the caverns in the swamp. White Leo continued to contact Platinum Tiger to lead them through the maze of caverns to the factory. Thanks to Platinum Tiger's help, they were able to rescue the slaves. Rebellion on Planet Beast
