| − | Vastly outnumbered, [[Dinobot (BW)|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 (BW)|Megatron]] orders them to take no survivors, [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|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 Disk]]s. 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. |
