Season Two
27. Aftermath
As the blast wave from the alien destruction device sweeps across the planet, the
Maximal and Predacon bases are severely impacted. The Predacon base suffers
major volcanic activity which swallows up Terrorsaur and Scorponok. All over the
planet, the remaining undetonated raw Energon is transformed and condensed
into Energon cubes. Some of the characters become Transmetals. Blackarachnia
escapes; internal struggle with Tarantulas. Megatron, now Transmetal, launches
attack but is beaten back after big firefight. We see hint of Fuzors being created.
28. Coming of the Fuzors - Part 1
With stasis pods down all over the planet, Tigatron and Air Razor are dispatched
on a long-term mission to find them. Dinobot has taken advantage of the battle to
steal both golden disks, since he now realizes this is probably Earth and Megatron
could change the future. Megatron discovers the two new Fuzors (QUICKSTRIKE
and SILVERBOLT) who are confused and disoriented and recruits both of them. A
fallen and cracked stasis pod is discovered by the Maximals; it contains a spare
protoform without a spark. In Pred base Tarantulas (in Blackarachnia’s body)
discovers his lair has been destroyed so he utilizes Megatron’s equipment to
return to now-transmetal body but leaves a psychic "link" between himself and
Blackarachnia. The spiders become a scheming "third force." Rhinox begins a
secret project.
29. Coming of the Fuzors - Part 2
Megatron and his forces attack but one Fuzor (SILVERBOLT) decides at a pivotal
moment that he is a Maximal and switches sides. Megatron and forces still appear
to be about to win. Rhinox’s secret project is at a pivotal point -- he has
dangerously amplified his own core consciousness to penetrate transwarp space --
and as a result he is almost flatlined. But he manages to discover what he was
looking for and fight his way back in time to set the secret project on autopilot and
rejoin the Maximals in their defense. Back at the Pred base, Blackarachnia
discovers a hidden secret in Megatron’s datatrax and manages to conceal it from
Tarantulas. In the battle, the Maximals are backed against a wall, about to be
defeated, when Optimus Primal dramatically reappears as a Transmetal. He was
Rhinox’s secret project. Megatron and forces defeated and Optimus is welcomed
back.
30. Tangled Web
Megatron orders Tarantulas and Blackarachnia to build a refueling station where
a quantity of Energon cubes have been discovered. Blackarachnia takes the
opportunity to use the energon as a method of severing the psychic hold
Tarantulas had on her. Tarantulas decides that the cavern is perfect for his new
lair and in a battle with the Maximals gives the impression it is destroyed.
Tarantulas begins constructing his secret lair.
31. Maximal, No More
Dinobot decides that Megatron is winning the Beast Wars and concludes to switch
sides. He gives Megatron the second Golden Disk, though not without
reservations. The reservations are compounded when in a test of his loyalty he is
ordered to destroy Rattrap. This Dinobot cannot do and after a final battle returns
to the Maximals.
32. Other Visits - Part 1
Tigatron and Air Razor discover an alien artifact and accidentally trigger it,
signalling the aliens that the planet was not in fact destroyed. Tigatron and Air
Razor are captured in a beam and sent to the alien nebula. The aliens send a
MetalHunter base to the planet and both Maximals and Predacons face off over it.
But a huge Energon surge drops Maximals and Predacons alike.
33. Other Visits - Part 2
With all but the Transmetals and the Fuzors incapacitated by the MetalHunter
Base, Megatron uses the Alien Disk to open a door into the base. Optimus and
company try and stop him, but are foiled by a huge Energy Web which Tarantulas
has manufactured to hold the base in place. To their dismay, Megatron,
Tarantulas and Quickstrike enter the base. There Megatron is almost disabled
when he interfaces with the alien controls but eventually he gains control of the
alien base. He uses it to capture Optimus and tries to destroy Tarantulas who has
informed Megatron that he will no longer be under his command but will function
as an independent agent. Due to this treachery Tarantulas winds up teaming up
with the Maximals to prevent Megatron from transporting the MetalHunter Base
back to Cybertron. The effort is successful and not only foils Megatron’s master
plan, BUT also closes the alien wormhole above the planet, rendering it safe from
further alien invasion.
34. Bad Spark
The discovery of a strange stasis pod is bad news for Optimus -- it means the secret
Protoform X has survived. This attempt to create an immortal Maximal created
only a psychopath. In a massive Energon explosion caused by battle over the pod,
both Blackarachnia and Silverbolt are plunged into survival circumstances where
they are forced to cooperate to survive. And all the while the newly created
Rampage (formed by the Protoform X) is stalking them. Rampage is defeated by
the Maximals but enslaved by Megatron, who captures the core of his Spark in an
Energon cage.
35. Code of Hero
Since Megatron now has the disks and Rampage, he decides to make his move. He
decides to prevent the human race from ever occurring by destroying the valley
from which they emerged. Dinobot, still wracked with guilt over his giving the disk
to Megatron, is the first to discover the plan. With no other Maximals available,
Dinobot singlehandedly takes on the Predacon forces in a heroic battle to save the
human race. He succeeds, but at the cost of his own life. The Maximals drive off
the Preds, the human race is saved, and Dinobot gets the warrior’s recycling
honors he always dreamed of.
36. Transmutate
A badly damaged stasis pod creates a creature that is neither Maximal nor
Predacon.
