Optimus tries to call him back, but the energon radiation severely limits the range of their communications equipment. Rattrap isn't convinced.ĭeciding to show off (and goof off), Cheetor gives chase to two cheetahs running on the plains near the ship. Optimus further reminds him of the Great War, noting that if the Predacons are able to secure a massive source of energon, they wouldn't hesitate to start a new one. He sarcastically speculates on Primal's readiness to handle a command position. Rattrap doesn't care, retorting they were supposed to be performing deep-space exploration and that it isn't his job to chase after criminals. Rattrap complains about all the fuss over the Golden Disk, but Optimus Primal reminds him that the Disk is Cybertron's most closely guarded relic, a guide to a major source of energon, which is why Megatron stole it. Meanwhile, the Maximals are surveying the land around them and cleaning up the wreckage on the Axalon. Shouldn't they be seeking cover of some sort? Optimus expresses concern about the stasis pods in orbit, as it means the Maximals are outnumbered. Rhinox points out that the transwarp drive allows them to journey through space and time, so they could be in any place, any time. Optimus notes that they are on a very unusual planet, wherever it is. The Maximals check out their new forms and bicker amongst themselves, till Optimus Primal orders the crew to moderate their conflict circuits, reminding them that their new beast forms are to protect them from the long-term effects of the abundant energon fields: While they need energon for power, their robot modes will short out after a few minutes of exposure. The Predacon ship launches a drone, scanning the fossils of a Tyrannosaurus rex, Velociraptor, and Pteranodon, as well as a living spider, scorpion and wasp.Īt the cliff, the Maximals have the same idea, scanning a gorilla, rat, rhino and cheetah.
Declaring that they will take the forms of the most powerful creatures on the planet, Megatron orders his science officer to scan for local lifeforms which they could adapt as alternate modes to survive on this world. However, it warns that there is so much energon that prolonged exposure would permanently damage their robot modes. Dismissing this for the time being, Megatron demands to know if the mysterious planet has energon, which the computer confirms to his elation. The Predacon computer informs Megatron that their location is unknown, as while the course settings were accurate, the readings were not consistent with what was to be expected of the location. The Maximals have landed on a cliff above a lake the Predacon warship has landed smack in the middle of the ash-hardened opening of an active shield volcano. for about five minutes.īoth ships are non-flightworthy after their crashes. With no engines, both ships are caught in the planet's gravitational pull and plummet to its surface.Īnd the fandom complained. Optimus Primal orders the Maximals' cargo of stasis pods be released into safe orbit before firing the forward plasma cannons, strafing the Predacons' hull. A broadside attack cripples their enemies' engines and causes significant damage to their stasis hold. Megatron arrogantly rebuffs this suggestion, preferring to toy with his opponents. On the fleeing Predacon starship, the first officer urges his leader, Megatron, to finish off the Maximals while their opponents' shields are down. Their commander, Optimus Primal, states that they were the only ship in range capable of intercepting the fugitives. On the Maximal ship, a youthful crewmember reports on their damaged condition, in response to which another crew member bitterly complains about their non-combat exploration vessel not being cut out for this mission. Already carrying the scars of battle, both ships immediately open fire upon each other. In an unknown star system, a transwarp portal opens, releasing two starships, a fleeing Predacon warship and a pursuing Maximal vessel.
