Well dear fans, you have waited for this moment, and the time has come. I will now present a special original with the elements of the Lost Episode here. It's taken time in areas of research, finding the original transcript made but not used for an episode, and looking up where in a Beast Wars comic, something almost similar happen of two characters meeting along with other surprises.

Also there appears to be something wrong with Fanfic sending me alerts of when I post or when I receive reviews/messages from others. I'm hoping they can solve this so I can be notified of events, etc.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I appreciate everyone who has sent in their OCs, it's been a wild and crazy ride. I been keeping track of the OC numbers, so far it's well pass 70 Maximals and Predacons, and that's from the Axelon's pod count, and I use the others as part of a separate group bunch that were introduce in the beginning to help satisfy everyone. And right now, I worked on the next bunch to be introduce here, so afterwards I'll have to close up OC suggestions to at least help focus on some of the bunches we got here. Sadly not many might appear before concluding season 3, but I have arrange some measures on what maybe the last new OC Transformers to appear in original fanfics before approaching the two part finale work. Who they are, who they belong to, just have to wait and see. But I wanna say thanks to everyone who provided so much.

But don't feel discourage too much, after all, there will be a special focus event that will be just as exciting to partake in. And let's just say, something of the old will become something new. I won't go into too much details without spoiling the surprise. So now after much work in preparation, here's what I'm proud to present. I hope everyone enjoys…

Chapter 11: Dark Glass

LOCATION: BORNEO

GUNUNG MULU NATIONAL PARK

The scene opens to a thick jungle area filled with trees and, mountains and river areas. Pass the misty air the camera zooms in around some tall limestone pinnacles spread around the area. Then a mechanical sphere with treadwheel tracks was moving around before stopping. Then something zip pass it to which it was Rattrap in Vehicle Mode before transforming to Robot Mode. Then arriving was the Lyoko Warriors group: Aelita, Odd, Ulrich, Yumi, William and Sissi. After de-summoning their OverVehicles, the kids landed near the roller vehicle one sees the driver was Jeremie plus he had a small passenger: Jackrabbit in Beast Mode.

"Field test of the MegaPod Prototype is a success. And it's plenty roomy too." Jackrabbit smiled from announcing the workings of their new mobile vehicle.

"Well with a few adjustments, it could be perfect for rough terrain exploration." Jeremie stated on from observing the basic functions this experimental vehicle is capable of.

"Ehhh, the she-spider did alright with this one. Heh, but don't tell her that." Rattrap shrug off from making a small comment, but whispered this to the kids: he doesn't want Blackarachnia to know he said this.

"With a few minor adjustments, maybe we can make another OverVehicle version of it? We could improve the Mountain Crawler with something like this if we get the right parts." Jeremie suggested forth some ideas that could be helpful to their cause.

"Yeah, yeah, you kids have fun with that, but we got business to work out here." Rattrap issued on focusing on another important matter at hand.

"Right, we picked up a homing signal, it may have come from a Stasis Pod." Yumi stated on their reason for exploring this area.

"Maybe there might be some pods left that weren't taken for that Transmetal II experiment Megatron pulled." William exclaimed on trying to think of a logical answer to this sort of problem.

"If there are, we be lucky to still find any left." Ulrich rolled his eyes from thinking it be amazing if the enemy didn't have found all the pods from the Axelon ship but missed a few.

"Beep-beep…" Suddenly a beeping sound came from a scanner device Rattrap held. "Woooh, speaking of pods, we got a hot one!" Rattrap issued from seeing they are getting a signal in.

"Careful, these limestone pinnacles spread all over. When we learn them in school, we were told to be careful when moving around them." Sissi warns the group on what the area they are in, and to be careful.

"Yeah, hopefully nothing got broken." Odd shrug off the shoulders to issue this matter.

"Alright troops, follow your trusted rat guide!" Rattrap instructs this as he began to take the lead.

"Ugh, why is he in charge again?" Jackrabbit slapped her forehead, seeing they have to follow the orders of Rattrap.

"He's been at the new base too long, plus we need his nose if our scan equipment malfunctions." Aelita reminds those of what Rattrap can do and the bot hasn't been out of the base in a long while.

Everyone fell silent as Rattrap was leading this expedition through the area. The beeping sound comes from his scanner was getting louder as the group continue to explore the area. Then Rattrap stops to look around the area but the scanner was acting weird. Soon Rattrap was left puzzle on what was wrong with the gizmo and activates his comlink by tapping his chestplate.

"Rattrap to hole in the wall…" Rattrap spoke this phrase to get in contact with someone at the base.

BACK AT MAXIMAL FORT

The scene changes to show the Maximal Command Center, and those working by the consoles were Longrack, Rhinox, Dive-Bomb, and Optimus by his own large console. They were receiving Rattrap's update to report the situation.

"Hello, is anybody home or am I just talking to myself?" Rattrap was heard calling on the speaker system.

"We read you loud and clear Rattrap. Status Report." Optimus Primal answered the call and asked on a report of those on the field.

"Well first off the test of the MegaPod thing is working swell. Heh, might be good for some downtime know what I'm saying." Rattrap expressed his thoughts on the matter while making a light joke on the subject.

"Alright, anything else?" Optimus nods from hearing that and ask for another update.

"Well we got a signal of a pod nearby, but now we seem stump?" Rattrap stated on a small problem they are facing on their side.

"How so?" Optimus asked from sounding a bit concern there.

"Beats me? The homing signal was lost when approaching the coordinates. Now there ain't no telling where it was coming from." Rattrap was heard issuing the matter on not knowing what the problem was.

"Any thoughts?" Optimus turns to the Maximal Scientist group for any helpful advise.

"We been keeping track of the number of Stasis Pods that have been found and those that the Predacons had reprogrammed." Longrack stated on having been busy on knowing the numbers each side has.

"It's remarkable to believe, but the mission was originally meant to help colonize Transformers on other worlds to help further study the unique abilities of Animal modes we assumed. Sadly that plan was changed." Dive-Bomb explained the other matter on what the Axelon crew's mission was until being drag into a war.

"We were well over 100 to 150 pods but as for the record of those that were blanks or not, it was damage in the crash. What we do know, is we lost half the original Protoforms to Megatron." Rhinox firmly explains the issue on the numbers on Transformers that were in Status Pods and how many were lost.

"And then of course there were those from the Harbinger and Arclight. Still, what are the chances of it being either of them?" Longrack stated on recalling the other Transformers that fell onto this planet along with Depth Charge.

"Could be, or….it maybe a setup." Rhinox held his chin to ponder something else that was not outside the box.

"A setup?" Dive-Bomb asked from having heard such a thing.

"It makes sense if you think about it. The enemy could use a pod's homing signal to trick us to send a party to inspect the site." Rhinox explained the serious problem that they have not factor in on what could be a trick to lure them into a trap without warning.

"Hmm…" Optimus held his chin, feeling like this could be trouble. "Attention everyone. Better get out of there quickly. We suspect you may have fallen into a trap." Optimus had a firm expression when ordering those to leave the area for fear of a Predacon trap.

BACK WITH RATTRAP'S GROUP

The scene returns to Rattrap's group as they continue to explore the area. But when Optimus mentions a trap, that cause many to feel alarm of the idea.

"Hey! You're forgetting who you're talking to, funk monkey!" Rattrap spoke up with some spunky cocky tone to the commander overly worried over nothing. "I know a trap when I smell it. And where there's no cheese, there's…" Rattrap was about to say something when… "Hold on!" Rattrap stops himself when noticing something strange in front of them.

That's when the group managed to find something in one of the open areas of the terrain. The area had an open pit of Stasis Pods that were scattered about. The group slowly approaches to inspect the pods. But when opening the hatches of each one, the gang discovered there was nothing inside – no Protoform with or without a Spark.

"They're pods alright, but…empty?" Odd raised an eyebrow in confusion of what they found.

"There are others, but they are also empty…Weird right?" Sissi was uncertain what was going on of what they have found.

"Guys, isn't it strange that the surface of these pods don't seem to match the terrain here?" William looked closely to discover the markings of dirt and scratch marks don't relate to the terrain of anything that crash in the area.

"What, are you saying these pods were place here by coincidence?" Ulrich raise an eyebrow from thinking this was a big stretch on what may have happen.

"Let's check…the record says the protoforms became active…" Aelita checks the pod's console to dig up information that can explain things. "Long before the homing signal was picked up?" She revealed a shocking truth of a major time difference.

"Eh, but that would mean…" Rattrap suddenly got worried, could this actually be a trap after all.

Suddenly without warning, something broke through the ground and leaps up to attack the MegaPod Prototype ride. It was a Transmetal Version of an Ant. The metal frame is red with bronze gold in the chest/back region, silver metal legs, antenna, and pincer jaws, and blue insect-like eyes. It hissed to begin it's attack on puncturing the glass.

"Ahhhh! We're being attacked from above!?" Jackrabbit yelps as she saw what was attacking them.

"Don't worry, this thing is made of tougher stuff. It can hold…" Jeremie tries to assure the rabbit bot that everything was fine.

Suddenly the metallic ant did something, it was transforming but not into it's Robot Mode. Instead the metallic ant transforms the Beast Mode by converting the legs crescent towards the rear, the head moves upwards to display double drills in front, and displays spike wheels under the rear. Resembling a mechanical ant driller vehicle. And it began to drill downward to crack through the glass sphere.

"What about against something with DRILLS!?" Jackrabbit exclaimed from seeing something they weren't expecting. "Abandon vehicle!" She cried out from knowing they can't stay here anymore.

That's when Jeremie opened the front for him and Jackrabbit to escape. And just like that the MegaPod Prototype was completely destroyed in mere seconds, andemerging from the rubble was an enemy. Jackrabbit transforms to Robot Mode and prepares to fight along with Rattrap and the Lyoko Warriors.

"Ehhh, hope you had a deposit for that thing." Rattrap shrug off the shoulders to make a joke to lighten the mood: sadly it wasn't helpful.

"Is that suppose to be Inferno?" Yumi asked from looking at the Transmetal foe to realize what it's Beast Mode resembles.

"Kinda, but I'm not sure. When did HE become a Transmetal?" Sissi ponders from not knowing what sort of trickery this was.

"Wrong, allow me to introduce myself." The Transmetal Ant declared with a different deep male voice that sounded raggy of an evil man. "Scavenger – TERRORIZE!" He announced his name on the spot along with an activation code. "GRAAARrrrrrgh!" Then the Transmetal Ant screeched as it transforms from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. The rear converts into purple robot legs with an orange one-toe length show, a back drop cover behind the rear, and the upper insect body converts into a green scale chestplate. The insect head splits to form the back cover of the shoulders with the arms displaying the 3 ant legs as extra appendages. The arms are purple in robotic skin, but the hands are large orange drills. The head pops out resembling a purple insect helmet theme with three green beady insect eye décor, a silver mounted jaw and antenna horns by the ears, a silver liquid mouth guard within the sharp helmet jaw, and yellow optic eyes with white pupils.

"Well at least we know who he isn't now." Ulrich firmly states while pulling out his katanas.

"Yeah, but he's still trouble…" William firmly replied as he grabs hold of his large sword to wield forward.

"What I wanna know, is where the heck did he even come from?" Odd raise an eyebrow to question Scavenger's existence, they never seen a Transmetal Pred like him until now.

"Oh I've been around for a long time. In fact, I was busy aiding Megatron's plan." Scavenger issued on revealing just how intelligent he is on how he does things. "Locating many pod locations and instructing our forces to collect them. All for the grand plan Megatron enviosned of strengthening his army." He explain the full plan of what his leader had envisioned.

"The Transmetal II technology, you helped the Predacons secured the pods without our scans knowing your movement…how?" Jeremie asked how this guy was able to do that, they would have detected any Warp Gate energy signature of any Predacon movement.

"I play dirty, being underground was the perfect cover to smuggle goods while you fools focus on your silly battles. And you even fell into our trap with the pods we already found from our newest members." Scavanger grins to rub this stuff in the others faces for not having realized things until it was too late.

"Heh, oh yeah pointy, and just where are they? There's only you?" Rattrap remarked to tease the new enemy with not being scared.

"Oh where are my manners, they should arrive…now…" Scavenger smirks to taunt the targets with an overconfident tone.

Suddenly without warning, portals appeared on all sides to surround the Maximals and human group, as figures came through them. Now there were 11 new creatures that appear out of those vortex portals before they closed. They appear in the order of the first to last:

"Now then, Predacons – TRANSFORM!" Scavenger roared forth to announce the next action.

"Scarem – TERRORIZE!" The stag beetle spoke forth his activation code. "Izzz…" With an insect screech, transforms from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. The beetle head splits while the insect legs convert into different limb areas: rear insect legs convert to robot legs, the middle insect legs convert into arms, and the front insect legs are station behind the back on the shoulders area. The beetle head split acts as shoulder pads, the bladed stag beetle jaws are made into bladed mantis theme hands. The chest-plate is robotic with the Spark Chamber located there, and the head helmet resembles a green monstrous beast with sharp jaw mouth guard, crescent down pointed horns facing forward on the head, and clear orange optic eyes with white pupils.

"Scourge – TERRORIZE!" The locust announces his activation code with feeling. "Errrraahhh…" With an eerie scream, transforms from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. The locust body converts and stretches form to rotate the front and rear. An orange exoskeleton frame appears down the waist to legs with purple insect theme bent boot-wear and the wings convert into the back area. The right shoulder is the abdomen as a shoulder pad to the rest of the arm with a creepy long nail hand.

"Stinkbomb – TERRORIZE!" The skunk spoke with a low male tone before silently transforming from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. The front legs convert to become the robot legs, and the rear legs shift to become the robot arms with the paws folded to the front of the shoulders and develop robot hands. The main body shifts to become a golden metallic waist and chest plate. The tail becomes a swiveling double blade and it's attach to the back of the robot head, making it some killer ponytail reaching down pass the kneel joint. The helmet is purple chrome but has a red wild beastman mask, and has green optic eyes with white pupils.

Converts the body into an upward position, the bottom animal legs change into heavy boot-wear and the front animal legs become the shoulder pads in the front position. The exoskeleton frame is silver with the robot legs, waist-line, and arms. The backside still has the porcupine top structure from the tail on the rear to the extended quill spikes on the upper back sticking in a crescent downward position. The chest-plate becomes a bulky sub-merge portion of the porcupine head. The large steel wings are seen on the back portion of the body.

"Sea-Dazzle – TERRORIZE!" The gold sea dragon spoke with a lovely sassy tone of her voice, then transforms from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. The dragon body converts with the main rear legs and front legs becoming the robot legs and arms. The body shapes into a slender female frame warrior maiden armor with a short skirt and the dragon head splits to form the shoulder pads facing downwards on the arms.

Wields a saw-tooth blade sword shape like the beast tail and a spike hid shield.

"Gulp…" Rattrap swallowed hard from realizing the one enemy just turn into 12 enemies in an instant.

"You had to jinx us, didn't you?" Jackrabbit muttered off at Rattrap opening his big mouth at the wrong time.

"EVERYONE SCATTER!" Jeremie warns everyone to find cover.

That's when the enemy began to unleash their range weapon attacks as the others duck over to dodge by an open corner. The destruction broke some of the limestone formations to topple down which created a huge dust cloud. The two Maximals and the Lyoko Warriors quickly ran away from the pod crater to get to higher ground to find a better battle ground advantage while using the remaining limestones as covers to hid.

"You can't hid behind such covers forever!" Scavenger remarked the pathetic attempt by those fleeing. "All units back up, let's give them a real BANG up job." He turns to give a strange order for all Preds to cease fire.

"What's he mean by that?" Jackrabbit raised an eyebrow, puzzled by what they just heard.

"Alright Clobber, you're up." Scavenger instructs the big fembot to take the stage.

"Um, right…I'm up. I can do this." Clobber lightly replied with a nervous tone, as her right fist was emitting a jet-stream of flames.

"Hugh…" Odd's eyes flashed briefly, and saw a huge explosion with them unconscious. "GUYS! WE GOTTA BRACE YOUR IMPACT!" Odd screamed from having realized his Future Sight warn him of danger.

"KABOOM!" But it was too late as Clobber smashed the ground which released a huge nuclear level explosion that swallowed everyone up.

The smoke was beginning to clear while leaving a large crater size hole in the ground and the wall side. The Maximals and the Lyoko Warriors just barely made it out but were scatter on the ground.

"What the…cough-cough…heck was that?" Sissi coughs a bit as they recovered from what happen.

"Cough…looked like an explosive punch?" William coughs to clear his throat when stating what had hit the group: as hard as it is to believe.

"Ahhhh…." Then there was some female voices echoing in the air, which left everyone puzzled: all eyes fell to Aelita who was near.

"Aelita, are you doing something?" Yumi asked from thinking the girl was using her ability of Creativity which she releases an angelic voice: but this time it sounded more

"No, that's not me?" Aelita exclaimed that she was not doing anything.

"ohhh…what a lovely melody…" Rattrap was seen looking and acting a bit weird.

"So….beautiful…" Jackrabbit was also behaving in a strange motion, like they were under a spell.

"Those two act weird when hearing a strange melody, sounds like what we remember in old sailor tales." Ulrich stated on having no need to guess who was responsible, as they saw the sea dragon fembots were letting off a strange harmonic sound through their voices.

"It's possible they're under some kind of electronic spell that effects their circuits? We have to provide cover from above…" Jeremie instructs the others on what they need to do, as everyone summoned their OverVehicles and Aelita summoned her Angel Wings to take flight.

"TOXIN QUILLS!" Then Quillfire was seen unleashing his quills from the back as they emitted a strange glowing energy.

Suddenly the OverVehicles were hit by strange metal quills and cause a strange reaction. Causing those that were riding to lose control and began to drop.

"Waaahh!?" Aelita yelped as she tried to grab Yumi's OverWing but it was too heavy.

"CRASH!" The OverVehicles crashed on the ground before they began to disappear soon afterwards.

"Hey, our rides? How they malfunction?" William protest from not liking how things were going, they just lost their element of escape.

"ICY BLIZZARD…" Then Lockdown was seen opening his T-rex mouth…

Then without warning, a cold blizzard was unleashed around the Lyoko Warriors. Slowly the ground was turning white from frost, and it creeps up to affect the kids from their legs to their waist. Try as they could to break free the hands were suffering and it felt as if their arms were almost unable to move.

"RATTRAP! JACKRABBIT! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Sissi screamed to get the two Maximals to hear the high-pitch voice.

"Eh, hugh?" Rattrap snaps out of whatever spell he was under.

"What just happen?" Jackrabbit held her head, completely confused up to now.

"You were under some kind of Siren Spell, and we're pin under frostbites!" Odd remarked to lightly joke despite the serious problem they are facing.

Rattrap and Jackrabbit looked around to see that they were indeed in trouble. Both bots looked around suspiciously of movement from the enemy. But then a sound was heard from the bushes nearby and a bright beam was shot out.

"GYuuuaagh!/GAAaaaahhh!" Rattrap and Jackrabbit screamed as the beam hit them, causing their bodies to emit a white energy wave incasing them. Slowly the Maximals fell to the ground on their backsides to lay motionless. They tried to fight it off but it was utterly useless as even a simple movement was difficult.

"Geeee…" Rattrap tries to turn to his com-link on his chestplate and speak to it... "Rattrap to base! We've been hit! Can't…move." Rattrap struggles to warn the others, but only static is heard through the comlink channel.

"Who attacked us….? Neeeh…" Jackrabbit groans to wonder who had hit them, the other Preds were out in the open so why…

"Oh that's right, besides myself, I had meant someone who's dying to meet you." Scavenger issued on grinning to introduce one more surprise.

Rattrap and Jackrabbit looks up slightly as if seeing something coming through the bushes. The trapped kids in ice tried to break free only to see something that shot them too. From out of the bushes was none other then Dinobot II. As the bot walks through with his left eye lens adjusting and smoking from having fired a shot earlier. The Transmetal II Raptor approaches the paralyzed Rattrap and Jackrabbit.

"Hmmmm….Foolish Maximals. Stepped right into the sight of my immobilizer beam." Dinobot II exclaimed as he draws his razor nails out. "Fortunately you won't have to worry about stepping anywhere else." Dinobot II remarked as he began to approach closer until he was standing few feet away of the immobilized Maximals as they watch helplessly and frightened.

"Dinobot!?" Aelita gasped in shock to see the face of someone who was their friend before but now is reborn an enemy.

"Hmmm…" Dinobot looks around to study the state of the frozen imprisoned kids and at the new Predacons. "You have all done well, grugrugrugrugruhhh…Megatron will be very pleased." Dinobot II snarls a bit while complimenting the effort the new bots have shown.

"Really, you think so?" Clobber asked from sounding hopeful about this.

"Heh, maybe this is our chance to step up from just being grunts." Lockdown exclaimed on thinking this was their big break.

"Speak for yourselves, the Siren Trio will always be more then just typical lackeys." Sea-Dazzle proclaimed of those of her matching group that stand out.

"Except when it comes to being under your order." Sea-Blaze rolled her eyes to issue the remark on having to be obedient towards Sea-Dazzle.

"Well, I'm sure it's fun no matter what." Sea-Dusk grins from being the eager and open minded of the trio without much a clue of what goes on.

"So, what do we do with these children?" Scourge asked from looking at the human allies of the Maximals that are trap from the frozen icicles on their bodies.

"Leave them to freeze, it's no servo off our metal plate." Scarem remarked from not caring what happens to such folks.

"Don't know about that, remember…Megatron wants the Key in tac…and she maybe frozen stuck, but one wrong move and it'll be our necks that get snap in two." Stinkbomb issued on sounding the most reasonable of the bunch.

"Bummer man, guess we can chill for a while with mission over and done." Lugnutz replied with a tone of someone that was almost like a bot from the 70s or something.

"Hmmmm…Before going back with the Key, let's finish off some Maximals…to pass the time…" Dinobot II declared from reaching forth to grab Rattrap by the neck and haul him up.

"Now, now there, Chopperface….Let's not do anything we might regret here." Rattrap yelps from realizing the situation was not looking very good. "Don'tcha recognize your good buddy Rattrap." He tries to sweet talk his way to have the bot remember him.

"Or your favorite little warrior Jackrabbit?" Jackrabbit asked from also wanting to help talk things out and stop the bot from destroying them.

"Sure, I know you're a cloned Pred and all…" Rattrap issued on knowing this bot was a clone of the original Dinobot, but still… "But tell me you ain't the type of 'bot to smelt one' a your old pals…'specially when he's unarmed…not to mention half your size." Rattrap was trying to reach whatever sense of pride was left in this clone foe.

"Nrrrr…." Dinobot II snarls as he prepares to deal a bladed nail blow.

"I mean…where's the honor in…That?" Rattrap declared forth with the one word that Dinobot he knew would never forsaken.

"Hnnnnn…." Dinobot II looked puzzled and confused; as if the word had meaning. "Rrr…Rrrr…" He clutch his forehead, as if struggling with something going on.

"Did it work?" Jackrabbit asked from seeing if they got through.

"VERMINS!" Dinobot II roared as he stomps on Jackrabbit and held Rattrap up high.

"Gulp…then again…" Jackrabbit yelped to swallow hard, seeing the plan did not work at all.

"Well kiddies, guess you better say goodbye, cause afterwards we'll head back." Scavenger stated as he looks to the human children still incase of frozen ice. "And with the Key as our prize. I'll gently get her free, but I might mess up and break your limbs. Oh well…" The guy prepares his drills as everyone was becoming afraid of what's about to happen when…

"LEAVE THEM BE!" Then a young male voice was heard, making a heroic claim on the matter.

"Err?" Dinobot stops his action when he and the other Preds heard this.

Then without warning the Predacons were tackled by some strange animals that just appeared out of nowhere. Then Dinobot II hears a roaring of a feline that knock him several meters away. Dinobot II landed over the edge of a cliff before balancing himself to hold on. That's when everyone was shock to see what came out. A Transmetal II version of a larger Leopard Cat with a long, slender, lithe but perfectly built muscles like an actual leopard. The coat is mainly black with small emerald rosettes speckling its back. The undercoat, including the legs, chest, underbelly, and much of the face, are tan light green. Has vivid dark-grey "eyeshadow" around the slanted green cat optics with white pupils. Two long green whiskers protrude from either side of the face. The tail is somewhat hook shaped. This creature was truly something of a cat that can blend into the dark and only the green light it emits one can see which may spook them out.

"NRrarugh…WHO ARE YOU!?" Dinobot II growls annoyed before demanding who has attacked them.

"A clever cat hero on the scene, and these…are my buds…" The Transmetal II feline replied with a cocky attitude.

That's when from around the other limestone areas, were more Transmetal creatures from average to giant size ones.

First was a Transmetal II Version of a Hyena. The fur is black but also has some merge metal frames. One is light blue metal located under the belly, pipe lines connecting the neck, inner ear and side cheek portions, and by the heel ankles with back blades, front paws with a blade behind and an upper blade off the paw acting like an extra toe.

Twelfth and final one was a Transmetal II Version of a Northern Hawk Owl. The entire body is metallic in very dark green and teal theme and his optics are green-yellow optics with white pupils.

"Ugh, okay…anyone saw this coming?" William raise an eyebrow from what they were witnessing.

"Don't look at me, I'm freezing so much I can't foresee things?" Odd stated on being clueless of this whole thing.

"No, but neither did they." Ulrich comments on how if the enemy didn't know, that gives their side an advantage.

"Jawbreaker – MAXIMIZE!" The hyena roared like a madman ready for battle. "Wahahahahhh…." Then letting a hyena laughter, transforms from Beast Mode to Robot Mode.

The rear legs convert into robot legs and the front legs shift upwards to bend a bit to form shoulders with the paws facing up on top. The body converts into the robot waist and chest plate revealing a light blue waist and bulky muscles. The left arm deploys a light blue robot gauntlet hand but the right hand is the beast head acting like one's hand.

The chest plate is more gold metallic with a light blue Spark Chamber plate. The waist is orange plus other robotic parts are seen attach to the robot legs and arms merge into the animal type fur. The head has a dark grey chrome style almost like Optimus Primal's old version but with a monkey feature mouth, plus has big optic goggles that display an emerald color with a white pupil center. Carries around what appears to be a metallic monkey tail as a whiplash type weapon.

"Prowl II – MAXIMIZE!" The owl spoke with determination in his voice. "Hoo…" Then with a hoot sound, transforms from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. The animal legs become apart of the main robot legs, and the owl head flips down to merge and become the chest-plate with a Spark Chamber located on the forehead and the arm wings merge into rotatable shoulder pads. The robot arms are dark grey and display orange metallic gauntlets with extending two claws above the wrist area. The head pops out with a white feather owl helmet theme with orange optic eyes with yellow pupils, and a liquid motion moving mouth guard.

"Ramulus – MAXIMIZE!" The ibex announced with a dry and uninterested strict tone of voice while silently transforming from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. The rear hind and legs change into robotic waist and legs with metal heels. The rest of the ibex splits to form the chest but the front legs split to become shoulder pads with the hooves position for the back portion. The chest is metallic with abs plus a green orb piece under the chest. The robotic silver metal arms are metallic with brown metal hands.

Below the waist produces robot legs with the right half furry and the left one more mechanical, with five beast-like toe feet plus two nail toes behind the heel. The beast head merges into the chest-plate with the least display of the bat head. From the robot head pops out furry bat-like mask with pointy ears, a furry chrome top head, sharp teeth, and light green optic eyes with white pupils.

"Cat Walker – MAXIMIZE!" The leopard cat announced his name with confidence. "Reeoooww!" Then with a mighty feline roar, transforms from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. Transform body changes into something similar to Cheetor's Transmetal II form but slightly different. The rear legs become the actual robot legs, the front legs shape-shift into the arms with four clawed fingers stretched out, and the beast body converts into a slightly built furry chestplate. The waist, chest, gauntlets gain a furry wardrobe similar to tribal beast hunters. The beast head changes into a young black feline wearing a furry helmet with cat ears, two metal whiskers, the shook-shape tail attaches to the backside, and the optics are iris emerald with white pupils. It's almost like the appearance was of some humanoid feline creature that was closely 6 feet tall.

"Omega Rex – MAXIMIZE!" The giant metal raptor shouts this off with the eagerness of his tone. "Raarrrrr!" Then lets loose a raptor scream as he transforms from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. The transform body converts the upper portion to rotate and a just the raptor legs into bootwear, the tail is split upwards to form arms while the raptor head merges into the bulk chest plate. The robot figure resembles having an exoskeleton structure that's silver color, armor is deep grey-blue with dark grey around the shoe-frame, wrist, waist, and neck-line. There's also a Spark Chamber located in the center of the chest-plate connected by blue tubes strap behind the back.

The head appears to reveal a helmet style of a knight with a Y-shape for the face to show the liquid metallic face, a dark grey mouth guard, plus above is a blue knight-feather steel metal frame, and lastly the optics were light blue with white pupils in the center. It's appears seems a mix between a powerful robotic knight/wielding mechanic.

"Thunderhowl – MAXIMIZE!" The giant metallic wolf spoke with a well responsive tone. "AWOooooo!" With a howling wolf cry, transforms from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. Transforms with the rear paws acting as legs, the front paws adjust into arms with claw gauntlets, and the wolf head merges into the chestplate.

The head pops out with a noble knight's wolf-theme helmet with grey horns over the eyes and has a yellow Y-shape visor over the face as a knight's face mask protector. Behind the yellow mask cover is a metallic liquid face of an older mature male with yellow optic eyes with white pupils. In short, this bot was like a giant wolf-theme knight of the medieval days brought forth into the future.

"Houndour – MAXIMIZE!" The lupine wolf fuzor spoke with a female voice of a warrior. "Owwwooo…." With a light howl, transforms from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. Transforms by converting the front legs into fembot heel boot-wear and the rear legs into robot arms. The main body becomes a style female bikini wolf-like armor with side pads and spike covers. The tail remains attach to the rear unchanged. The arms had spike shoulders, gauntlets, plus the wolf claws attach to the right hand wrist area.

"Foxfire – MAXIMIZE!" The mythical fox spoke with a youthful female eager to get herself ready. "Awooo…" Then lets loose a fox howl while transforming from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. Transforms by lifting upwards to convert the lower body into the main robot legs, display a puffy chestplate and the front arms become the main robot arms. The head pops out to resemble a more beast-kin female fox head. Equipped with a gauntlet cover over the fox-paw hands which conceals a hidden compartment for mini launchers. Wields a golden tech staff with a fox symbol plus has tips style like fox-tails for the top and bottom.

The shoulder pads become green screens with the rex arms sticking behind them, the left arm has a robotic fist and the right hand is a six-loaded missile launcher. The head that pops out resembles a three crown horn helmet with a silver guard mouth behind the grey liquid face and green optic eyes with white pupils.

"Nightshade – MAXIMIZE!" The northern hawk owl announced with a well-behave youthful tone as he silently transforms from Beast Mode to Robot Mode. Transforms the body to create a silver exoskeleton frame, deploy robot legs and arms from the body and the wings convert into an 'M' shape on the back. The body armor has the same very dark green and teal theme with a more owl feature style. The physical body is skinny and the armor apparently is a light base substance. The head that pops out has a 'V' upward helmet matching an owl theme, and the liquid grey face resembles a young man with green-yellow optics with white pupils.

The unexpected outcome had changed, now the new Maximals were outnumbering the Predacon side and with the surprise advantage.

"MAXIMALS!? WHERE DID THEY COME FROM!?" Scavenger looked at seeing that now they are dealing with a count of 13 Maximals against their 13 Predacons.

"That is a question you will learn…too late." Nightshade issued to say as he takes to the sky to unleash green gale energy from the wings to cause confusion.

"How's about we level the plain field." Cat Walker issued as he held his front right hand that emitted a glow of black particles. "CATACLYSM!" He roared as he slammed this glowing claw onto the ground.

That one move by Cat Walker caused a strange chain-reaction that cause the entire tremor to break apart and spread, causing untold in-balance action. The ones to get the worse were the Predacons as they yelped to find cover while being bombarded by weapons fire.

"Woah….he's about as destructive as when I throw a punch?" Clobber yelps from seeing what happened just now.

"Argh….and they are hitting us with lightning and fire…NO FAIR!" Scourge yelps from the onslaught of ability users with deadly range forces at their beacon calling.

"Oh no, our revolution is about to come undone? What now?" Quillfire yelps to ask what they should do at this time.

"Hmmm?" Stinkbomb seem calm while looking at the scenery with a careful eye. "Well we lost the terrain advantage and we're in the tight spot. It cannot be helped, we need to fall back and come up with another plan." The guy was actually very calm while making this bizarre suggestion.

"What! Leave empty handed and without the Key!?" Scavenger protest from seeing they can't leave the Key behind after all this preparing.

"We know little of them, they have us surrounded. Do we fight or not?" Predazor looks to their options and await what they do.

"Ugh…" Scavenger was in a tight spot but, seeing they were not prepared and have little intel on the new Maximals they may surprise them. "Lugnutz! GET US OUT OF HERE!" He shouted for the Pred with the ability to get them an escape route.

"No problem, man…consider it done." Lugnutz replied from having heard and willing to do.

As Lugnutz was waving his hands, created a Warp Gate as many Preds were falling back. During the entire event, Dinobot stares at the situation before charging his Optic Blast when…he heard a roaring sound and saw Cheetor transform in mid-air. The cat-bot fires a blast at a tree and cause it to tip and head towards Dinobot II. Then Dinobot II stares at the situation of a cliff, a falling tree, and the fleeing Preds, and then back at the children stuck in ice and the immobilized Maximals.

"This isn't over, rodents." Dinobot points to Rattrap and Jackrabbit, giving them a cold stare.

Then Dinobot II jumps away from the falling tree that nearly hit him and made it through one of the Warp Gates as Lugnutz went in last and closed the vortex. With all the enemies out of sight, Cheetor lands with a cool pose before everyone.

"Oh yeah! The fast cat strikes again…" Cheetor brags about himself from a job well done. "And has a mouse, a rabbit and buds to bring home with him." Cheetor looks to Rattrap, Jackrabbit and the human teens in the process.

"Yeah, well shut up and get us out of here will ya, Blondie?" Rattrap remarked from still in a lying position of his hopeless state.

"Yeah, we can't move much." Jackrabbit issued on stating they are still unable to move from the enemy's immobilizer beam from earlier.

Cheetor picks up Rattrap and Jackrabbit before laying them him over each his shoulders.

"Cheetor, how did you, when did you…" Jeremie asked from not sure how Cheetor showed up out of the blue.

"Hey Jer, sorry for the little scare. Found some friends." Cheetor smiles to point at the new Maximals that help them out in a tight pinch.

"Indeed, let us aid you dear comrades in freeing you from the confines of this vile icy hold." Thunderhowl proclaimed as he kneels down to announce this with a knightly gentleman way of his speech.

"Just give us a few nano-clicks and you'll be okay. I may not look it, but I'm more then just muscles…" Omega Rex state on inspecting the ice and release some tiny nano-machines: which slowly heat and melt the ice.

With the aid of freeing the kids with some new allies, it wouldn't be long before everyone was able to move. Afterwards the group leave the scene to head back to the Maximal Base after calling in a Warp Gate, and with some pleasant company to boot.

LATER

AT THE MAXIMAL FORT

The scene later shows the new Maximals exploring the inner portions of the Maximal Fort. But the real breath taker was seeing the Ark it's self, that really takes anyone's breath away from seeing the ship of Autobot legend right before them. Then Optimus was seen approaching the new Maximals that saw the Maximal Commander in his impressive form.

"I'm Optimus Primal, I wish to thank you all for the help in saving our comrades." Optimus smiled to thank those on having helped their friends that were endanger.

"It is our pleasure to be of service to your noble cause." Thunderhowl proclaimed to kneel down and humbly wish to be a service.

"And what a cause it is, many cannot say they gain the honor of protecting history." Nightshade stated on smiling at the rare sight all young bots have dreamt of witnessing.

"It's still so wild to believe we're standing in the presence of THE Ark!?" Foxfire stated on sounding excited by what they can see and it's a sight to behold.

"It does indeed, words escape me." Houndour slowly nods to politely state this in agreement.

"Tell me, how did you all come to be? According to our scans when you enter, there was almost no trace of the Beast Virus in you." Optimus raise an eyebrow to ask the big question that was on the mind, they thought any new Transmetal II bot was under the virus effect but so far not a thing.

"Oh you mean that stuff that makes bots go savage, yeah, sorry…we're not like most bots." Grindcore remarked from stating with a cocky attitude on what they are made of is different stuff.

"Yeah, when we came online, we each felt something happen to us. But either the virus was smaller that it's effect was weak or we had abilities that cancel it's effect. As a mechanical engineer, I can confirm it." Omega Rex explain the scientific nature especially coming from a skill engineer.

"Hey, when's the next battle going to be? It's boring just sitting around here?" Jawbreaker asked with a cold tone, not much paying attention to these things that were uninteresting.

"Yeah-yeah, when can we go off and you know?" Optimus Minor was acting all excited to jump and move around the whole place. "Bang-Bang some Preds!?" Optimus Minor made some finger gun signs to make his point across from his overly excited thrill of reckless action.

"Perhaps another time, right now we need to get you listed…so if anything happens, we can contact each other." Optimus suggest what they do first to secure a means of staying in contact.

"What a pain…" Ramulus muttered under his breath of what he has to deal with.

"Hey, don't be like that or I'll give you a new meaning of discipline." Sonar narrows her optics at seeing someone be disrespectful.

"Sorry about them, we're all…quite different in how we operate." Night Glider apologize to Optimus who was not expecting such a colorful new bots like them.

"Hey guys, Rhinox and the others are almost done." Jeremie called to those Optimus was with to inform them on what's happen.

"Excellent, care to see our command center?" Optimus replied while inviting those to join them.

"Lead the way…" Prowl II stated to accept the offer to see more places of this Maximal Fort.

Soon everyone gathers around the Command Center, with the giant bots on one side and the other bots near the console controls. We see Rhinox, Dive-Bomb and Longrack having aided to fix up Rattrap and Jackrabbit with electrodes. Afterwards from doing some minor repair conditions, the bots in question were all fixed up. The Lyoko Warrior group awaited for the good news to come.

"There, that was easy. The immobilizer beam seems to have worn off of most of you after only a few cycles." Rhinox replied to give the good news for those that are now able to move around again.

"Few, thanks Rhinox…" Jackrabbit signs with relief while Rattrap gets up and walks over to sit in a console chair.

"A few cycles, is that so huh? Well, it felt like being dismembered and blown apart at the same time." Rattrap remarks to stick it to Rhinox's comment on how he felt during the whole thing.

"What's eating him?" Sissi whispered to the others from noticing Rattrap's more then usual rudeness showing.

"Probably sore from almost meeting his end by an old friend." Ulrich shrug off his shoulders on knowing what was getting poor Rattrap down in a mood.

"Rattrap, are you alright?" William spoke out to check if their friend was fine but…

"Do I look like I'm alright from almost being sent to the scrap heap and put you kids endanger?" Rattrap sarcastically remarks the rhetorical question about his state.

"But that wasn't your fault, we were ambushed. And Dinobot attack you when you were distracted." Aelita tries to help assure Rattrap it was not his fault.

"Exactly my point!" Rattrap firmly points off to the kids without sparing the sass. "I mean, what happened to the Dinobot that would only rip your head off if he was having a bad day?" Rattrap proclaim on recalling such days when Dinobot was only half as terrible to be around when he was on their side.

"I think that was mostly with you ChedderBreath." Jackrabbit reminds Rattrap of who most of the time rattle Dinobot into that situation.

"Hugh, yeah…most times that's true?" Rattrap lightly huffs to sign from agreement on that memory.

"What does he mean by that?" Foxfire looked to the others that were new from not following this discussion.

"It sounds as if that bot who strangled you was a friend then an enemy?" Houndour looked to ask those for an explanation of this strange topic.

"Truth is that was a clone version of the Dinobot we knew, only it's more a killer then a warrior." Odd shrug off his shoulders to admit the truth which shock, surprised, or intrigued the curiosity of the new Maximals that join up with them.

"Hey-hey, we can't be certain. I mean, we all saw it right?" Rattrap protest a bit to speak up on Dinobot's defense: which really surprised everyone to hear the rotten say. "When Chopperface reacted by a single word like honor, like he was remembering us?" What Rattrap said did have the human teens think back and for a brief time…it almost seem like their lost friend remembered his former life.

"Rattrap, I hate to put a pin in this but we have to face the facts that it's not Dinobot. It's the spark of Rampage." Optimus firmly spoke an argument on facing the reality of accepting the lose of an old comrade. "And as long as that spark ignites even as a half-portion of Rampage that still functions, it will continue to possess that protoform as a vile monster." Optimus strictly explains that they can't think for a second against an enemy that looks like Dinobot but is not the bot that has passed on to join the Matrix.

"Possess, huh? Then where's a cyber-exorcist when you need one?!" Rattrap sarcastically rolled his eyes upon having heard such a spooky tale. "Geh-Heeh!/CLUNK!" Rattrap immediately slams his fist down in anger on the control console from a fit of rage. "Slide…" Which causes a port on the lower side to drop open and revealing a data box. "Huh?" All Maximals and Lyoko Warrior groups look at it then at each other in confusion.

"Woah rat face, when you bust something, you bust it good? But what is it?" Jackrabbit exclaimed in surprise while curious of what was found.

"Ehhh, don't know? I ain't never seen this data box here before." Rattrap scratch his chin from being as lost and confused as anyone else.

"Hmm…It must have been there even before the Axelon was destroyed." Rhinox rub his chin to ponder of where this data box originated from.

"Meaning before it fell off the waterfall and one half of it sunk into the ocean floor?" Sissi stated on what they are talking about: those that were there to witness the old Maximal Base's downfall and the remains they salvage.

"That would be the case it seems." Yumi lightly nods to agree when thinking about it.

"How come nobody notice it until now?" Odd raise an eyebrow to question this was found if everyone was putting this Maximal Fort base under construction.

"We must have overlooked it when salvaging the remains?" Jeremie scratch the back of his head to admit they were in a rush to fortify the volcano and keep the enemy away.

"True, we were in a rush to setup a new base near the Ark." William nods to agree when one thinks of what they had to do and couldn't afford to waste time.

Soon Rattrap picks up the box and walks it over to the round center console table. Plugs it into the terminal before a holographic display screen appears with static. Everyone watches as a screen appears with motion images while strange sounds are heard. Then the original version of Megatron before the Quantum Surge event was seen.

"…Isn't that right, Scorponok?" Then a Megatron image was first seen stepping away to reveal the original version Scorponok as he transform to Robot Mode.

Then Scorponok fired a missile that impacted the target as the screen became static. Then different brief clips began to appear that many could recognize. The time Dinobot fought Optimus Primal on the rocky bridge to saving the Maximal Commander's life from a missile on an Energon Mountain. Another was the time Dinobot and Rattrap work together to explore Tarantulas' lair while dragging the spider bot unconscious. There were plenty of scenes which Jeremie and the group remember. The next image showed Rattrap in his Transmetal form after Dinobot spun the rodent's wheel and made a comment which was rude.

"…I just knew we should have left you offline, lizard-breath!" Rattrap image remarked off with an upset tone.

"Wow, that's exactly what you said when you became a Transmetal. But why's that in there?" Jackrabbit

"Wait a cycle. I know what this is." Rattrap yelps upon reacting to what they are seeing and began to understand.

There is static again on the screen before the next image appears. Dinobot sees the Maximal base console as wires are inserted into the very same data box and data begins to flow into it. Then Dinobot looks up into the reflection in the dark glass of the computer screen and sees his reflection.

"It may yet be up to me." Dinobot image declared with a soft tone of what may yet fall onto him.

Once that scene was played out, there was static again before the images were gone. This left everyone in a confuse and puzzle state of what they have just seen. But as everyone was lost, somebody had a different expression.

"Heh…heh-heh…heheheheh…ohohoho…" Rattrap appears very delighted at the sight of seeing his old friend. "This….this is it!" He turns off the screen before the next image could appear, unplugs the data box from the console, and turns to his fellow Maximals and human allies with an excited expression.

"Rattrap, what's wrong?" Sissi raise an eyebrow, seeing the rodent act really strange.

"Yeah, last time you were this excited was when dumpster diving to find spare parts in Jer's junkyard?" Odd pondered from recalling the last time he saw Rattrap so happy and pleased.

"Oh-ho, you kids…we hit the JACKPOT!" Rattrap grins from bursting with excitement on a new level. "Chopper-face must have downloaded his memory tracks to the data box before he was scrapped. This is perfect!" Rattrap expressed his excitement to explain what they precisely have in their possession.

"What are you saying?" Cheetor raised an eyebrow, trying to make sense of Rattrap's ranting.

"Think about it, Puss." Rattrap turns to Cheetor to have the cadet know what he's talking about. "We could download these memories into the data tracks of ChopperFace's clone, he'll see the memories and believe them to be his own, and then he'll believe himself to be our good old Jurassic thrasher again!" The rodent explain the plan of which if they plug in these memories into the clone of Dinobot, that may very well bring back their fallen friend. "To think we discover it NOW of all times, but it's a perfect opportunity since Meg's brought Dinobot back, but without his memories and with this…We'll have him back!" Rattrap declared to announce the perfect plan of regaining their old ally.

"YOU MEAN IT!?" Jackrabbit asked from sounding excited from the very news.

"We could…get Dinobot back?" Aelita asked from suddenly feeling hopeful that the friend they lost…may return to them.

This piece of information was a lot to swallow and a lot to process. Optimus starts scratching his chin for a moment then turns to Rhinox and the other Maximal scientist.

"Rhinox? Any thoughts of this?" Optimus turns to inquire confirmation on this subject.

"Hmmm…Well, it could work." Rhinox ponders himself for a second before speaking about Rattrap's propose plan to turn Dinobot II into their ally.

"Heh, see…" Rattrap grins to boast that his plan cannot fail.

"But, the memory tracks would serve only as an illusion to the spark in control, and may not be believed by the possessor to be its own memories." Rhinox stated another fact of what they should consider might backfire.

"What? But it's a clone…of Dinobot…" Odd asked from recalling that if they have Dinobot's memories, won't that work on the clone version.

"True he looks like Dinobot, he behaves well like Dinobot, but is it really all him? Especially considering what part of him remains different from the rest." Dive-Bomb firmly issued on knowing that even if Dinobot II is another version of Dinobot, the Spark belongs to Rampage even as a half portion.

"He was the first to be experimented in the creation of a Transmetal II life, and a clone that can transform at that. Megatron perfected that technique with a Spark which was missed in the process." Longrack also explain the science term on what they must review to fully understand the subject.

"And considering this is the spark of Protoform X, despite having the power of only half a spark, it's likely the spark will be able to overwrite the illusion, and thus disbelieve it." Rhinox

"My thoughts exactly." Optimus firmly nods from having heard the explaination that confirms what he had as doubts. "Plus, the memory tracks could reveal important Maximal information to the Predacons and give them a strategic advantage…"

"But these were Dinobot's memories from long ago, what information could be used?" William tries to think that the enemy won't get what would be old news.

"They could learn about us, and try to exploit our individual weaknesses." Ulrich sadly expression a firm statement of an argument they can't ignore.

"What, well…can't we maybe…tweet it? So maybe they won't learn much?" Jackrabbit was sounding worried and tried to think there is another way.

"It's too risky…Even if we setup firewalls to prevent hacking, the Predacons may try to use what we left them to destroy us." Optimus protest to those that need to see the logic and reality of what risk they invite if they act carelessly. "So, I'm afraid we can't test this…even if it meant recovering an old friend..." Optimus grimly shook his head on knowing this was not what everyone wanted to hear, but there's little choice.

"But… we can't just…" Rattrap struggles to gain permission but was then interrupted

"That's an order, Rattrap! It's too dangerous! We will not attempt to upload those memory tracks." Optimus interrupts with a raised tone as he towers over the rodent with a strict and fimr expression.

That pretty much left everyone in the command center to fall silent. Many had hopes that they could bring Dinobot back into their group, but…the Maximal Comamnder has spoken. Optimus turns to prepare to walk away as the new Maximals began to follow him. But Optimus stops briefly to look back for a moment.

"I'm…sorry." Optimus looked over his shoulder slightly towards Rattrap, Jackrabbit, even the humans with a low tone, understanding their desire.

With that having been done, Optimus continues to walk off while Rhinox, Dive-Bomb, Longrack, and the human children were walking a different direction. Many look to see Rattrap take the data box and walks off in a different direction with Cheetor and Jackrabbit walking next to him.

"You know, I can't help but feel sorry for them." Sissi signs from having witness the saddest moment among the Maximals.

"Having one's hopes set so high, then you come back to reality and it really makes you feel worse." Yumi lightly nods to agree, the war has really left it's mark especially when it came to losing friends.

"Jeremie, can't we at least do anything? Maybe I might be able to help with my abilities?" Aelita asked the boy if there's something she can do.

"Aelita, I know you think that, but we're not even certain if the plan could work logically?" Jeremie stated on reviewing all information and seeing the conclusive result of the matter.

"But I'm the Key, couldn't I have the power to even help bring back a friend? We seen it happen before with Optimus and Trans-Mutate?" Aelita reminds the guy about what miracles were done in the past, and those lost came back to them.

"I wish it was that simple, but those were done after nearly a day or two went by, it's been too long to consider doing that. And you still haven't figured out all your powers can do besides what you have now." Jeremie sadly shook his head to disagree on what Aelita was saying, shooting down each one. "I have to side with Optimus, we just…can't risk if the percentage of failure is that low. Worse, if the enemy fools you and you're captured from following your emotions so blindly." While Jeremie was making a solid statement, what was said may have been a little too much…

"You think numbers matter when it comes to a friend you can get back? That you leave them be when you could have helped?" Aelita protest in sounding angry at what she was hearing which shock the other teens. "Sometimes I wonder if you're leading with your head more then your heart. Or if…you lost it in the war…" Aelita coldly stated while almost on the edge of breaking into tears and activated her Angel Wings to fly off with an upset mood.

"Wait, Aelita…" Jeremie tried to reach his hand to stop the girl from leaving, but she flew too quick to be stopped.

"Let her be Romeo…" Ulrich rest a hand on Jeremie's shoulder, sensing tension.

"Yeah, she's just distress. We all are…" William lightly nods his head from feeling the weight of what's happen.

Jeremie fell silent at that point, was he truly not thinking with the heart as Aelita said. The teens group went in separate directions after that. Then the camera zooms to where Rattrap was having some chat with Cheetor and Jackrabbit.

"Sorry Rattrap, I was really supportive of the idea." Jackrabbit exclaimed on knowing how much she wanted to support getting Dinobot back.

"Yeah well…I don't care what that dumb ape says, I'm getting my old scrapping partner back." Rattrap scowls frustrated while holding the databox in hand.

"Well, you're not going to get me into this one. Besides, you wouldn't even know how to find the clone." Cheetor spoke a bit supportive yet with a disappointed tone on the reality of the subject. "Anyway, see you around." Cheetor replied while leaving the rodent to his thoughts: which Rattrap took a moment to think.

"Hmmm…Maybe not. But I know some folks who does." Rattrap made a sly grin on having come up with a plan.

"Uh oh, I know that look. What are you thinking GarbageBreath?" Jackrabbit raise an eyebrow on knowing Rattrap has that sneaky expression.

"Depends, you in or not?" Rattrap issued to say which the rabbit girl was taken aback before having second thoughts.

As Jackrabbit followed Rattrap out, we spot Aelita land nearby from her energize wings while hiding to just overhear everything. Then the pink-haired girl yelps as she felt a tap and then spotted Odd with a friendly wave.

"I figure you were watching them?" Odd stated on realizing where Aelita would be, watching those that feel sadness just like her. "Knowing those two, they took Dinobot's demise the worse." Odd figured that if anyone was feeling sad about Dinobot, it's those that were the closest to him; even if one of them was Rattrap believe it or not. "And while our good buddy Jer maybe a genius but diplomatically he's…he's a-a…" He was truly to think up something to help lighten the mood here when…

"A total fool…" Aelita remarked off in what she thinks Jeremie was after their argument.

"But he really cares about you." Odd stated calmly on knowing why Jeremie did what he did earlier.

"And I really care about him too, I just wish he understand that…" Aelita spoke from understanding one thing, but… "Just as I was learning to feel I belong with the Maximals, Dinobot was in the same state as me. We're different, but we all come from the same world." To Aelita she witness that as she was learning to be apart of the Maximal's world, so was Dinobot for being an Ex-Pred.

"I know, and to think I wouldn't be here if he didn't help old Megs steal you off Cybertron and end up on this planet to meet Jeremie and the gang. It's a strange universe?" Odd stated from viewing how the universe works: if Dinobot wasn't part of Megatron's crew, would he join the Maximals to help them and keep Aelita safe and in doing so, her code from a clone help give new life to Odd and his siblings.

"Hmm….Odd, I've decided…" Aelita hums briefly before speaking her thoughts.

"Hugh?" Odd yelped when the girl came off strong about something.

"To go after Rattrap and Jackrabbit…" Aelita issued forth on having come to a decision of what she has to do. "To go with them, they maybe planning to disobey Optimus' orders and try to bring Dinobot back." The pink haired girl knew what those desperate enough would go through, so she has to help anyway she can.

"Well that might not be too easy, you heard what Jeremie said. He agrees on what Optimus' decision to not go ahead with the plan. I don't think he or the others might be very anxious to help?" Odd shrug off the shoulders, stating that nobody was gonna take part in a dangerous mission that holds risk.

"So, we don't need Jeremie and the others, do we?" Aelita issued off to show a sly expression across her face when mentioning this.

"Um…we?" Odd looked back surprised, and pointed to Aelita and himself from what he heard.

"Just us…just you…me…and maybe some of your willing siblings that wanna help their cousin out. Okay Odd?" Aelita cross her arms to display a sly and innocent smile on wanting Odd's assistance.

"Ugh…hmmm?" Odd covered his mouth to almost object, but strangely enough…felt hard to say no: apparently Aelita has taken a page from him on being sneaky and do things without anyone noticing…

SOMEWHERE IN THE MAXIMAL FORT

The scene changes to some armory room within the Maximal Fort. One spots the giant Maximal Taros loading himself up with mini-missiles for the chest compartment. Once that was settled, he arm himself with his Bull Ruiot Gun-Sword, Great Bull Axe and the Black Bull Cannon to place them in compartments.

"Depth Charge, do you read me." Taros spoke on the com-link channel to reach someone on the other end.

"I read you, are you ready?" Depth Charge's voice was heard on the com-link while asking a question.

"I am, my guard shift is over. I'll come out to join you." Taros issued on preparing to join up with Depth Charge.

"Good. Let the X-Games begin." Depth Charge's voice gently spoke to himself with anticipation before hanging up on the com-link.

Taros was seen heading off before he spots those observing him. It was Jackrabbit and Rattrap looking like they were awaiting for him to show up.

"You know something, bullie? You and guppie should really consider getting a life. There's more out there than just trying to make crab salad every day." Rattrap issued on seeing these guys have a real bad case of losing to their rage to seek vengeance.

"Really Rattrap, you went with that pun?" Jackrabbit raise an eyebrow in what Rattrap used that sounded corny.

"I don't have time for this." Taros brush off the previous comment, and begins walking out. "If you're looking for something to do, I believe there's a garbage pile nearby with your name on it, mouse." Taros walks and nudge Rattrap hard on the way out.

"Hey, what about me?" Jackrabbit protest from feeling a bit left out.

"Suit yourself in where you want to go, you seem attach to the vermin." Taros coldly issued on letting the rabbit girl go where she wants even to places Rattrap likes being around garbage.

Not getting distracted, Rattrap begins following Taros towards the exit.

"You know, you and Depth Charge remind me of an old metal-headed friend. He was ugly, and he smelled bad, but at least he had his head in the right place!" Rattrap issued on stating the facts on seeing how much some bots reminds him of dealing with Dinobot, and he was an Ex-Pred.

"Hey, you only describe the bad parts about him? What about the good parts?" Jackrabbit protest on having heard what Rattrap went with on remembering the old Dinobot.

"Heh, those WERE the Good parts Hareball! Right up to him having my head." Rattrap shrug off to mention what good parts he refers were the old Dinobot that was not an enemy but a real pain to endure and tease at times.

"And you won't have yours in the right place for much longer if you don't step aside! We've got a couple of spark halves to find and help exterminate Protoform-X." Taros exclaimed on knowing they must work together to finally put an end to the enemy that ruin their lives.

"Yeah and what if you and Fish-Breath didn't have to exterminate one of those because it was overwritten by the data of someone friendly?" Rattrap made a cheeky grin on offering a deal to make the job easier on taking down Rampage.

"Then you're even more short-circuited than you look." Taros remarked as he exits through the blast doors with Rattrap and Jackrabbit exiting right behind him.

"In that case, we'll prove it to you. Find us Dinobot, and we'll take care of him for ya." Rattrap grins to not stop offering their deal until they got an agreement.

"Right, um…how exactly?" Jackrabbit suddenly asked how they were gonna handle Dinobot II.

"I'll…heh-heh…tell you when I have it made?" Rattrap sheepishly chuckled from not having thought that far ahead yet.

"This game is not for mice or rabbits. It's between those of us with a deep hatred for X!" Taros declared on knowing this hunt is not for the fated heart, only those set on making one enemy pay for such crimes.

Taros transforms into his Vehicle Mode and begins to move with his rocket boosters. But then Rattrap and Jackrabbit leap onto the bull to ride on his backside.

"Sorry, we're going with you!" Rattrap declared on stating a fact in not refusing to stand down.

"Remove yourselves before I throw you off." Taros threatens those that were pushing it.

"Hey, we can either argue all day, or we can work together to help each other. Now Ride like the Wind Bullseye!" Rattrap declared forth on not standing down while acting like a cowboy riding a bull.

"Ugh, fine…just know what you sign up for." Taros signs to shake his head, deciding to just give in and let these fools do what they want.

"I thought so…" Rattrap smirks' from having won the argument.

"Wow, sometimes you surprise me CheddarFace?" Jackrabbit exclaimed on how well Rattrap managed to get a tough bot three times his size to agree to the term.

"Eh, it's a gift?" Ratrap shrug off to say on having his moments. "Don't worry Scales. You'll be back in no time." Rattrap exclaimed to gently pat the data box like it's the only thing precious to get back a friend.

Seeing there was little choice, Taros picks up speed while Jackrabbit and Rattrap hold on for a wild bull ride experience. The rodent sat comfortably to lock his legs on the side while grasping the data box lightly. As the Maximals were off, they did not see others slip pass the Blast Doors and take to the skies. It was actually Odd on his Over-Board, Aelita with her Angel Wings, and with them was Jin hovering with the wind lifting him up and holding his hand was Axel.

"Well don't this be all? I never been ask partake in undercover work?" Jin grins with excitement on what they get to do today.

"Gotta admit, I expected this from Odd, but from Aelita is a whole knew game. I'm surprised you only brought us in on this little favor you wanted?" Axel stated with a calm but approachable motion on seeing he and Jin were called to join the two on a crazy errand.

"Well Tyree is helping Elize and I doubt he agree to join us without reporting it in?" Odd sheepishly rub the back of his head to admit this.

"I appreciate you both helping us." Aelita humbly bows to thank her cousins that could help on such short notice.

"No sweet! Doing crazy plans sounds fun to me!" Jin grins with more excitement and positive thinking.

"Just keep us close enough to watch the bots from a distance. Got Em' Memorized?" Axel issue off while pointing a finger to the forehead and made his famous quota.

Odd and Aelita nod in agreement, as they flew with Jin using his wind to carry him and Axel in the rear. The scene begins to fad out as much things are about to be underway…

PREDACON BASE

The scene zooms in around the outside area of the Predacon base. As the camera zooms in closer, the scene changes to show Megatron sitting in his mobile chair at his com station. Then seen coming on a hover platform was Scavenger as he stops before his commander.

"Lord Megatron, we have return." Scavenger bows to greet his lord of their return from the field.

"Ah yes, you done well securing our new troops Scavenger." Megatron exclaimed on knowing how their forces have grown. "Though I be more impressed if they didn't come back empty handed?" He remarks the matter

"Forgive me, we were not expecting new Maximals to interfere?" Scavenger exclaimed with a nervous tone, knowing the report is not good.

"Grrr…New Maximals." Megatron growls from having heard this and was not pleased. "Then this means not ALL the pods we secure were reprogrammed." Megatron muttered from knowing they were only half successful on reprogramming the Protoforms to increase their army size.

"Yes, my lord. But threat not, with our new addition, we can surely pull a win." Scavenger tries to assure his commander that the bots they have should do fine.

"They better…or else they will face…MY Wrath!" Megatron issued with a threatening tone in what awaits those that fail him.

"Um, yes sir…" Scavenger yelps from sensing his life is on the line.

"Now, where are they?" Megatron asked on the new recruits location.

"Oh, after our return they each are either exploring or scouting our territory." Scavenger stated on where the new bots he brought in are currently doing.

"Hmmm? Computer….display all Predacons signatures." Megatron turns to his monitor and ask the system to find those in question.

"Scanning – Results Found." The female computer voice replied while performing it's duty.

As Megatron reviews the location markers, he spotted one mark that remain inactive. When searching the bot who was assign there, it pulled up Dinobot II's image. He did not like this, so Megatron was pressing a button to activate com-channel which made a noise.

"Megatron to Inferno and Waspinator." Megatron spot through the console device as radio static was heard.

"Yes Royalty!?" Inferno's voice was heard on the com-link channel.

"I've just gone over the active marks of our units in all sectors. Yet for some reason, Dinobot has not yet to returned any word from his patrol. Find him!" Megatron instructs those on something going on with Dinobot's sector and wants confirmation before hanging up on the com channel.

"Um, anything I can do to help?" Scavenger asked nervously from sensing tension.

"You can start by finding any pods we yet to acquire." Megatron turns to instruct the bot with drill hands on what to do next.

"But Lord Megatron, I've been so busy finding those pods, I'm not sure there are anymore left on this side of the planet?" Scavenger stated on having more difficulty finding anymore Maximal Stasis Pods as of lately.

"SLAMMED!" Megatron then slams his fist on the command chair with an upset expression. "Then go search the other side of the planet! They may not be pods from Optimus' ship, but knowing that Magmatron came with his own crew followed by another Maximal ship has me concern. And what's even more concerning, might be if any of their ships are still in working for flight." Megatron knew that it's only a matter of time before any side tries to attack them with either greater sheer numbers or firepower. "SO GET GOING!" He lashed off for the bot to stop complaining and do his assign task.

Scavenger yelps before piloting his Hover Platform away. Megatron then rotates his chair to see a monitor screen which became activated. Then something was seen of Tarantulas constructing something large like a metallic suit of armor with a place core center piece in the chest but was not yet finished. On the scene was Knock Out, Six Shot, Venomess, and Fractyl each putting together their own research with some strange purple crystal of Energon. The crystal was contain but any careless energy released cause a short-circuit damage to devices nearby.

"Tarantulas, will the mechanism be ready to operate as scheduled?" Megatron speaks to Tarantulas on a monitor screen with the latest report.

"Uh, yeeesss, mighty Megatron." Tarantulas replied from pretending to be all friendly to the one he betrayed. "Thanks to this new type of Bi-Polar Energon source, we discovered it's potential power." He explains the results of something they acquired that was powerful and dangerous.

"Good, and the new battle armor suit, can it maintain control?" Megatron asked from wanting to know the next details.

"We have taken measures to make certain the wearer is safe, we'll begin testing the final stages." Tarantulas informs Megatron on the latest results before going for a final testing. "Very soon the Ark will once again be yours for the taking." Tarantulas did a little bow to please Megatron on their efforts.

"Excellent. You've done well, lieutenant. Yes. Now finish the job." Megatron turns off the monitor and sits quietly with himself from processing what he's been told. "Traitors serve their purposes. Yet their treachery will serve them all the better in return." Megatron muttered off in knowing to make full use of Tarantulas' skills before dealing with the treacherous spider: with that the entire scene fads out…

ELSEWHERE

AT THIS TIME

The scene changes to show during the daytime was a dark jagged rock wild area. From the ground one spots Taros driving through the area with Jackrabbit and Rattrap riding on the bull's back and the data box on the rodent's back. Just then Taros comes to a screeching halt, throwing Jackrabbit, Rattrap, along with the box, off the giant bot's back.

"Whoa! Ugh!/Gyaaaahh!" Rattrap and Jakrrabit reacted from getting thrown off and landed on the ground several meters ahead.

Taros transforms to Robot Mode, with his Bull Riot Gun-Sword drawn. He looks around the area, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.

"Hey, what was that all about, Bull-Horn?" Rattrap was getting up while snapping at the bot and just as Jackrabbit stood up afterwards.

"Quiet, mouse. My scans detect X's spark is nearby." Taros softly spoke in a quiet tone

"Wha!?" Jackrabbit yelps upon hearing an enemy was near, but which one.

"Oh boy!?" Rattrap lightly yelps, as he draws his gun while still keeping the box in the other hand. "Ehhh…which one is it?" He stands still and looks around cautiously while asking the question.

"I don't know. Stay here." Taros stated while ordering those to remain on standby.

"You think it's Dinobot…or Rampage?" Jackrabbit whispered to Rattrap, not sure who they may have stumble upon.

"Man, I sure hope it ain't Crabcakes, heh, that's for sure." Rattrap remarked from hoping they don't be unlucky to run into that dangerous Pred.

Taros starts slowly walking around some rock walls cautiously. Jackrabbit and Rattrap begins to follow him while being well arm.

"I told you to STAY back!?" Taros firmly lectures those that did not heed his warning.

"Hey, I paid for a front-row seat to this death-match, and I expect to see…" Rattrap was making a statement on why he's here when…

Rattrap is cutoff by the sound of falling stones nearby. Soon Rattrap, Jackrabbit and Taros turn around quickly just in time to see Dinobot II leap out from behind a rock and into plain sight.

"Hmph-hmph, hmph….grugrugruagh….lost little Maximals?" Dinobot II lets loose a dark chuckle on who was here at the wrong place and wrong time.

"Gulp….I think you got your answer?" Jackrabbit swallowed hard in seeing what Rattrap asked for, has been answered.

"You might not be X…" Taros immediately converts his sword into a gun and points his blaster, ready to fire. "But taking half of you out will be all the more satisfying." He aims his weapon and was about to pull the trigger.

"No wait!" Rattrap knocks Taros' weapon towards a different direction so that he wouldn't blast Dinobot II.

"Pow…/BAM!" The shot misses Dinobot II and blows up a different rock section instead.

"GRrarrrgh!" Dinobot II growls as he uses this split-second to fire his immobilizer beam from his lens to Taros.

"MOVE!" Taros immediately pushes Rattrap and Jackrabbit away from himself, unaware that he had been fired upon. "Triizz…/AAahhhh!?" He gets hit by the beam as his entire body is surrounded by an energy field that paralyzes him. "SMASH!" The giant bot's body is knocked onto his back, and Taros is unable to move.

"Uh-oh!? There goes our muscle?" Jackrabbit yelps from realizing what blunder they did.

"Wraaaurgh!" Dinobot II then leaps forward, lands on Taros chest, standing upright, and holding back his razor claws ready to slash. "Hmmm, you may not be Depth Charge, but…Your revenge-seeking days are over, Maximal!" Dinobot II exclaimed towards the helpless Maximal as all he could do was watch.

Just then Jackrabbit and Rattrap point their weapons to try and threaten Dinobot II, but his left lens was emitting a low noise as it was charging to open fire. But without warning, a tornado erupted to block the enemy and Taros inside, and Dinobot II's aim was off from being unable to see. The Maximals looked up to spot Jin causing the tornado from above as Axel drop down while Aelita and Odd land nearby.

"Aelita…when did you?" Jackrabbit raise an eyebrow, surprised who came to help them.

"No time to talk, we came to help." Odd issued on quickly explaining what they are doing.

"Aye, old lizard boy can't hit what he can't see." Jin grins with excitement on having blinded the enemy.

"Too bad he has one pin down." Axel stated that in order to trap Dinobot II, they had to trap a pin Taros to boot.

"Rattrap, hurry!" Aelita asked the rodent to quickly perform what can help turn the enemy around.

"Heh, no need to tell this rat twice! I'm on it! Just get ready to drop the wind, kay!" Rattrap instructs those to help them time this right.

"Baahhh…I don't need to see to know what lies beneath my feet! Say farewell!" Dinobot II lashed off at having trouble seeing targets from the tornado of wind before glaring at the pin Taros beneath his feet.

Right before Dinobot II's claws come down onto Taros, suddenly the tornado wall of wind died out which surprised the Pred. Then Rattrap jumps from out of nowhere onto Dinobot II's shoulders, with the data box still in hand, and holds onto the enemy's head.

"So are your Predacon days, Lizard-breath!" Rattrap yells out while quickly sticks the wires from the data box into an input port on the back of Dinobot II's head.

"WARRRRGH!" Then Rattrap jumps off of the Pred, right before Dinobot II attempts to slash him with the nail talons. "Beeeee…" Instantly, the data from the box begins flowing into Dinobot II's head with a loud beeping emitter noise. "GRAAURGH-ARRRUGH!?" Dinobot II hold's his head in pain, falls to his knees and struggles. "Huurrgh….GRAAAAARRRRRRHH!" Dinobot II yells out a scream of pain of what was happening to him.

"We got him!" Jackrabbit cheered from seeing the plan was a success.

"No, it's not over until we see the results." Axel issued on knowing that until the memory data is accepted, they can't say for certain if the plan to regain the old Dinobot even works.

"GRRRAAAAAUUUUAARRRRRRRHHHHH!" Dinobot II lets out a long scream of pain as everyone witness the bot's struggle. "HUUAARGH!/TRIIIzzz!" Then Dinobot II rips the box out of the back of his head and throws it up against a wall.

"CRASH!" The data box may have been destroyed, but it's too late for that. As Dinobot II moans as he clutch his head from all the memories that had already been download into his systems.

"Huurragh-AArughh….What…Did You….DOOOOOO!?" Dinobot II roared as he seem ready to lose it, as he was firing random laser shots cutting all over from his optic lens eye.

"Yowech! Talk about cutting it a bit too close!?" Jin yelps from almost having a laser cut him while he hovered in the air.

"GROOOUUARRRRRHHHHH!" Dinobot II roared with rage, as he was charging an Optic Sphere Shot aim at the group.

"Uh-oh! He's about to open fire!? Time for a little shield work too…" Odd was preparing to go defensive, until he saw someone walk pass him. "Hugh…Aelita?" Odd yelps as he and the rest were shock of what's going on.

Aelita suddenly began to approach Dinobot II as he was struggling while on his knees and clutching his head. When he saw Aelita approach, he was about to reach a hand to harm her but…stopped? As if something was forcing him from harming the girl even while enduring untold pain.

"Dinobot….please…don't fight it…" Aelita spoke as she slowly place her hands to gently hold Dinobot II's hand much to his surprise. "Please…let what was yours…help you be who you are…" The pink haired girl stated as this only serve to confuse the bot struggling with things affecting his being. "AAAhhhhh-aaaahhhh, Aahhhh-aahhhh…." Then Aelita then let loose an angelic song as she release a bright light to flash before the Predacon.

"WWUUUUAAAAARRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Dinobot II continued to scream as the camera zooms in on his lens eye. "AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRHHHHH!" Than instantaneously there was a brief moment of blips between images of Dinobot II and of the orignal Dinobot in the same screaming position, for a few instantaneous shots. The view then rapidly zooms into Dinobot II's right eye and the screen goes dark.

WITHIN DINOBOT II'S MIND

After a couple of seconds, the faded scene reveals an image of Rampage's robot head floating in darkness within a twisted-vision illusion of space. It was likely the recesses of one's self within the mind.

"What…What is happening to me?" Rampage's spiritual head asked while looking confused.

We see Rampage's head as it witness various instantaneous images of scenery and characters flash on the empty darkness.

"Wha…ugh…I'm seeing thoughts that….that aren't mine. Why?" Rampage was puzzled and confused by this unexpected development. "Why is this happening? What is…going on with me?" He was becoming afraid of things he did not understand that were happening right now.

Then strange lightning sparks occurred in the dark vastness of space. The environment action and loud disturbance caused the head to act from pain. Then a bright flash appeared in the darkness behind Rampage's robot head. And then what appeared was the robot head version of the original Dinobot. As Dinobot approaches to show of equal size staring back at Rampage, as the camera circles around the two robot heads.

"You-you….How…ARE YOU HERE?!" Rampage's spiritual head yelps surprised and confused by this intrusion.

"I…have always been here, but my will was not. I was a blank slate until…I was reawaken by who I am. Who I was…" Dinobot's spiritual head spoke with some form of riddle as to question his arrival in this palce of the mind.

"This isn't real! This isn't me!" Rampage's spiritual head exclaimed from shaking his head, trying to make sense of this. "I am X! Warlord and slayer of innocent lives!" Rampage's spiritual head announced of who he is, and what he is as his identity.

"No. You are only half of the one existing outside this body. A copy left to guide the vessel that is not your original self. You are now me, Dinobot: fearless warrior, and Maximal!" Dinobot's spiritual head spoke sincerely, attempting to manipulate Rampage's psychological logic of events taking place.

"No! I can fight you! I'm Immortal! You won't beat me!" Rampage's spiritual head protest on declaring nothing can defeat him.

"You can't fight what you see and believe to be true." Dinobot's spiritual head calmly stated to describe the logic and reasoning.

"My WHOLE spark is powerful enough to beat this! You will not win!" Rampage's spiritual head argued froth in refusing to surrender to this outsider.

"Your pathetic HALF spark is too weak to overcome such an illusion." Dinobot's spiritual head "I sense it, someone who wishes to help restore the REAL Dinobot."

Then images of light erupted from above before a figure was form as an angel. It was non other then Aelita herself spreading a bright light to the darken surface.

"The….KEEEEEEEYYYYY!?" Rampage's spiritual head screech upon seeing another force interfering.

"As of now, your lack of power will cause yourself to believe in what you see. So see me, and believe in…my honor. Dinobot's spiritual head issued forth as the brightness from Aelita spreads around.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Rampage's spiritual head roared in great agony…

The scene backs away in displaying Rampage's head continues to yell, it flashes repeatedly into the original Dinobot head. More random images flash, then the image is all red. The Rampage head yelling turns into the Dinobot II yelling. The entire scene zooms away like a bright flash…

BACK IN THE REAL WORLD

"WAAAARRRRUUARRRRRHHH!" The scene changes to show the camera zooming out of Dinobot II's right eye while still screaming.

Then without warning, Dinobot II soon cease creaming before tilting forward on his knees. And the Transmetal II Raptor collapses face-forward onto the ground. Rattrap, Jackrabbit, Odd, Jin and Axel were frozen on the spot, some were shock by what happen. They each slowly approach where Aelita stood before she open her eyes, and everyone kept an eye on Dinobot II.

"Aelita, are you okay? What did you do?" Jin asked the pink haired girl upon landing near her.

"Few…I think so…I…never tried to use my powers to affect a Transmetal of this stage? But I wanted to do the Mind Link thing, see if maybe…it help." Aelita signs a bit from feeling a bit exhausted from attempting to hack something that was a Transformer rather then a machine without a Spark.

"Right, hopefully it doesn't have any side-effects on you." Axel raise an eyebrow in hoping this does not have ill actions.

"Urragh…Nuurragh!?" Suddenly Dinobot II begins awakening from low moans. "Grugrugruaaahh…Nruh-huhuhuaahhh?" He was snarling to slowly stand up while holding his head from the untold experience.

"Uh, guys…did the plan work?" Odd asked from not knowing what the result would be.

Everyone was on edge, uncertain if from this action was a success or not. Rattrap was the first to approach Dinobot II, many didn't know if this was really brave or really foolish.

"Chopper-face?" Rattrap stood near Dinobot II to look up as he softly spoke with a hopefully expression: wondering who this guy's identity would be.

Everyone watches very carefully, as Dinobot II turns his head to stare at Rattrap. There was a pause moment for a few seconds, so far the Pred did not lash at seeing the Maximal.

"Hmmm…Vermin?" Dinobot II softly spoke while slightly confused and surprised by what's going on.

"Heh, heh-heh…" Rattrap started to chuckle with joy, as the others seem surprised too. "Chopper-face! It's you!" Rattrap suddenly was ecstatic before he then jumps into Dinobot III's arms. "Hmmmmm-Moooohhh!" Then the rodent gives Dinobot II a big loud kiss that was very long before letting go.

"Grrrr….Get off of me, you pathetic rodent!" Dinobot II exclaimed disgusted before immediately throwing Rattrap several feet away from him.

"Ooohhh?" Rattrap lands on the ground, slightly sore but his expression was shown him feeling even more content. "Yep, it's definitely you all right! Haven't lost the anti-social touch!" Rattrap exclaimed on recognizing that persona of Dinobot anywhere while making his remark as he stood up again. "Huh. I mean, holy cheddar cheese, Velici-razor, you're one of us again!?" Rattrap suddenly just remembered what happen, this was not an old feeling but the real deal of the old Dinobot was back.

"Hmmm?" Dinobot II raised an eyebrow, puzzled and confused by this before looking around to spot the others.

"Dinobot! Is it you? Really-really-really you?" Jackrabbit asked from hoping with excitement that this was their old friend.

"Aye, do ye remember any of us?" Jin pops in with a wide grin, looking forward to this as much as anyone.

"Hmmm….give me a moment?" Dinobot II held his chin from trying to recall the others here. "Ugh…Jackrabbit…Jin…Axel…Odd…" He points to each one present, recalling their name even recognize a change Jackrabbit.

"Heh, surprise you recognize Jackrabbit, guess it's instinct." Axel grins to compliment how Dinobot II was able to recognize Jackrabbit since the old version never saw her as a TRansmetal II.

"And you even remember me, the odd maybe of the group." Odd grins to compliment on having seen that he's still on Dinobot's memory.

"Nurgh…you are one of the almost annoying bunch to rival the rodent." Dinobot II remark which only slightly damper Odd's good mood. "And…Aelita?" He turns to spot the pink haired girl from remembering here but with a gentle tone.

"Dinobot…" Aelita slowly approaches, then grasp the Transmetal II Raptor bot's hand with her hands which cause him to slightly gasp in surprise. "Sniff…welcome back. We missed you." She lightly wiped away a tear, smiled from having been reunited with a dear friend.

"Missed me, wha are you…ah…?" Dinobot was uncertain on what's going on until he noticed his hand to retrieve it: it was not from his original non-Transmetal body. "Mhmmmm….I have…so many questions?" Dinobot II responded as he observes his entire infrastructure which was different, and strange…more powerful. "How…How did I get here? What have I become?" Dinobot II was calm for a moment while trying to figure things out: especially how his body is not what he last remembers it being.

"Um, well…that's a really….long story? Where to begin?" Odd exclaimed from not sure how to begin telling a tale as nutty about a bot who was destroyed but was revived but not the same.

"Oh, I can tell you plenty. You were destroyed, remember?" Rattrap was calm and just went ahead to blurt this out with no hesitation.

"Hugh…destroyed?" Dinobot IIgasped upon realizing what the rodent said before taking it in at a time. "Then…I fell in battle? Grugrugrugruaaahh…." He snarls a bit from realizing the truth, he perished just as Optimus Primal did but the others found a way to bring him back. "Was it, a noble death of a warrior?" He then asked the biggest question that as on his mind most.

"Um, yeah…you could say you perished from wounds and low energy while saving lives and the future." Odd stated on mentioning these major facts of what the old Dinobot went through and was remember for.

"Yeah, we all saw it. Got em' memorized…right here." Axel issued and pointed to the forehead, making his statement extra clear.

"I see….but…How can I be here and not with the Matrix?" Dinobot II was amazed by a memory event he doesn't recall in his final days and yet here he stands now alive.

"Oh-oh, well here's a plot twist to really get your gears in a jiff. Because after you got scrapped, we gave you a farewell service." Rattrap issued on revealing what events transpire for Dinobot after that big event was settle down. "But then, Mega-jerk made a clone out of ya with half a spark from Crab-legs. Then, we found a data box with your memories, so I uploaded them to your ugly head, and here you are!" The rodent explain to reveal the shocking truth on how Dinobot II came to be along with what the gang did to fix this bot in question. "Heh…Ain't that something!" Rattrap smirks to feel like he was feeling quite proud and boastful of this achievement.

"And that's not all." Jackrabbit cuts in to have something else to say on the matter. "Aelita here helped do a Mind Link to help out. You were struggling during the time." She explain what Aelita did to help Dinobot II be more like his old self.

"You…did that…grugrugraahh…for me?" Dinobot II exclaimed between his low snarls on what he's been told.

"If it meant getting you back, it was no problem." Aelita smiled to happily do what she wanted to get a friend back.

"…Huh…How…desperate of you." Dinobot II slowly replied from coming to understand the situation from those that missed him.

"Yeah, well we just couldn't go another day without knowing what stupid mess you'd get us into next. Man, those were the days." Rattrap exclaimed from looking at the sky, remembering the old days of getting the old Dinobot out of trouble etc. "Hey, bet you saw some pretty crazy stuff while on Megs' side again, huh?" Rattrap asked from knowing what Dinobot II has gone through when working under the Predacons after coming back as a Transmetal II.

"Hmmmmmm?" Dinobot II hums as he tries to recall things, as the camera of the inner optics display video feedbacks. That's when on the screen were flashback events of things that happen thus far. "Megatron." Dinobot II softly spoke with a low angry snarl.

"Yeah, but no you don't have to worry about him no more." Jin issued from trying to think of positive things now.

"Cause now you can be with us again!" Jackrabbit nods to agree on knowing they can all go back together.

"Say, for old time's sake, how about another round of seeing who can come up with the rudest personal remark about the other. Remember, doing that?" Rattrap asked Dinobot II a question to re-enact their old routine gig that they shared from their time together as crew mates.

"Is now really the time for that?" Axel asked from not sure if that's really wise.

"Hey, it's been so long, we gotta see if Dinobutt still has his witty-wits." Rattrap shrug off his shoulders from wanting to see if Dinobot may have gotten rusty from their old routine. "Right?" He looked to see if Dinobot II was intrigue to partake.

"Hmmm….You're right, vermin." Dinobot responded but he was not paying attention to the previous comment, as he's fixated on something that has occurred to him by his memories.

"All right, then I'll go first. Ahem." Rattrap was eager to play, cleared his throat before looking at Dinobot II's body.

"Ohhh, I don't need to see the future to know where this is going?" Odd cringed from knowing this can go all kinds of bad.

"Have you always looked like a skeleton, or did joining the Preds make you 'lose your skin' after you came back?" Rattrap was telling an insulting joke at what's happen to Dinobot and what he looks like now. "Heh heh. Good one, huh?" He chuckled off from finding that one of his best tease remarks yet, boy it's been so long since he let that out without Dinobot being around.

"Nrrrrr….NO, you pathetic landfill-rodent." Dinobot II was slightly enraged by that remark directed at him.

"Well, it's not much on seeing how these two still know how to get on each others nerves." Axel signs a bit from seeing how even at this time, Rattrap and Dinobot have always got a beef with the other.

"Rattrap, I don't think Dinobot was agreeing to your suggestion. He seem to have something else on his mind?" Aelita cuts in to inform Rattrap that Dinobot II was not paying any thought as he seem distress.

"Okay-okay, yesh…so I take it you didn't want to start personal remarks? Then, eh…what was I right about?" Rattrap held up his hands to admit his fault before asking curiously what Dinobot meant.

"You are right…on what has happen to me. I can see things that this body has seen." Dinobot began to become calmer while having finished re-examining himself. "And this body has seen…one of Megatron's latest plans that may turn the war." When he said this last part, it was out of caution and concern

"Whuh?" Rattrap replied confused and shock on what they heard.

"His plans, for what?" Jackrabbit asked nervously, not liking where this may go.

"Megatron plans to take control of the Ark again. And he's preparing a new weapon as we speak." Dinobot revealed the few details of what must be taken as top priority. "The weapon it's self poses no harm, but it's power source may prove deadly. He has the power…." Dinobot II was explaining the greater threats of what the Predacons are doing when… "Trriizzzz…./GRUUUaarrrgghh!?" Suddenly an electric noise was heard, as Dinobot yelps in pain as he bends over in holding his head.

"Dinobot!?" Aelita yelps as she held his left shoulder with concern, as everyone seem worried.

"Ahh-Hey, uh, you all right there, lizard-lips?" Rattrap asked with a sudden concern before the strange electric noise issue quiet down.

"Huurrrrmmmm….Grugrugruaaahh…" Dinobot III hums and snarls a bit, as he stands up again from having regained himself. "I'm sorry, I know what you did was to bring me back, but…The spark is still trying to take over. I may not be able to hold it for long." Dinobot II exclaimed on revealing a problem, the half Spark of Rampage was reacting as if trying to regain control of the bot's functions.

"Rampage's Spark, I thought you fix that Aelita?" Axel raised an eyebrow to look at the girl, having thought the problem was resolved…

"No…I merely help Dinobot's side to overcome and contain the evil part." Aelita shook her head to sadly reveal what she could do at the time. "It's the first time I've done this Mind Link stuff, I was just learning how to access Dinobot's memories that was installed to synchronize the balance of the body that resembles Dinobot more then of Rampage." Aelita explained the scientific matters that sounded complicated for anyone to realize how difficult it was.

"So then old crabby's evil side might pop in when we least expect it? That sounds bad." Jin exclaimed from realizing what sort of trouble is cooking if they leave it alone.

"Yeah, no kidding." Rattrap remarked on knowing how bad it be to lose Dinobot when they just got him back. "Then let's not waste time, we better get you back to base. Rhinox and the others will know how to keep you from turning back." Rattrap turns to help assure Dinobot II that they will fix him so they can deal with the evil part.

"NOOOO! Megatron is close to another victory. With a plan to defeat all Maximals with a weapon his soldiers can be armed with when mass-produced." Dinobot II raised his tone to object the offer as there is no time to waste as the enemy may begin soon. "He must be stopped before he can complete his ultimate devastation." He issued from understanding what must be done now.

"What ultimate devastation?" Jackrabbit asked from not liking this anymore then before.

"He's not gonna try destroying Optimus Prime again, is he? We just stopped that plan and Optimus got a new bod from saving the Autobot Leader's Spark in the process." Odd asked from recalling the last diabolic evil act Megatron did and they got lucky to come out on top with some good things, namely what upgrade Optimus Primal gain at the end of it.

"Hmmm…that is why…Megatron has a new change tactic." Dinobot II muttered under his breath while slowly standing up on his own. "Once he has subdue everyone and secured Aelita, he plans something greater that will put all of us in great danger…So much the future as we know can cause greater damage reaching beyond this dimensional version and into our own timeline." After having given that explanation, Dinobot II then transforms into Beast Mode. "And the one to stop it, must be me…grugrugruaahh…." Dinobot II snarls a bit while turning himself to look away from the others. "For honor." Dinobot II softly spoke to himself as if giving some words of encouragement: then Dinobot II takes off running at top speed away from the scene before anyone could act.

"Hey wait!" Rattrap yelps a bit startled while concern for the rush on Dinobot II's part. "We've also gotta' deal with a three-legged cow here." Rattrap points to the still motionless Taros on another matter to deal with.

But it was already too late, as Dinobot II continues running without responding. The bot runs out of sight, leaving Rattrap, Jackrabbit, Aelita, Odd, Axel and Jin approaching over to the motionless Taros, knowing that he has to help him.

"Ugh…That sinister salamander, hard-headed as ever." Rattrap muttered quietly to himself from seeing how Dinobot II just had to pull one of these old gags.

"Well at least he's better then being the killer from earlier." Odd shrug off the shoulders to admit it's better then the alternative.

"Hmmmm?" The group approaches Taros who is still conscious but immobile.

"So how you doin' there, beef patty?" Taros looks up to Rattrap when he's making his remarks. "Bet you're busy thinking of ways to thank us for getting that lizard off your tail, huh?" Rattrap asked from feeling kinda cocky on a job well done on their part.

"You would be wise to know, that if I could move now, you wouldn't like my physical response." Taros gave a mildly threatening tone on the matter from his view.

"I guess he's not fine?" Jin sheepishly chuckled from knowing how upset this guy sounded.

"Well, things could be worse?" Odd shrug off his shoulders to look at the positive when…

"It already is!" A female voice was heard with a stern tone, and who should land near the group by Sonar.

"Sonar!?" Aelita exclaimed in surprise, what's one of the new bots they meant doing here.

"Ahhh, where did you come from?" Jackrabbit yelps that someone other then Aelita's group followed after them.

"Does it matter?" Then Ramulus was seen rushing along with Jawbreaker as they transform to Robot Mode. "We followed those who do something foolish. Just didn't know who else could catch such stupidity." Ramulus coldly issued on having a good guess who do something reckless like this.

"Hey, we resent that remark." Axel protest from not liking being shoved into such a group.

"Well, not like it matters." Jawbreaker replied with an uncaring attitude over the issue. "Seems you went and cause trouble. Heh, and they say I'm the battle obsessive kind?" He issued from grinning from almost wishing he was around to see the fighting and maybe join in.

"If it was up to me and not Optimus, mouse, I would rip out your optics so you wouldn't have to look at the slag-pile that you just got everyone into!" Sonar issue a threatening tone and seem deadly serious to do just that for this in-subornation.

"Hey! I just saved our hides, and got Dino-brain back for us, whereas everyone else wanted to scrap him!" Rattrap spoke up defensively

"You're processor couldn't be more defective. Those memory tracks you installed in the clone won't hold off Protoform X's spark. Especially when the two halves are close by." Ramulus dryly stated about a loophole in the plan for when the other Spark half is near, may trigger a reaction to Dinobot II.

"What do you mean?" Aelita asked from not liking the sounds of this.

"It was a pain, but Rhinox and the rest told us another theory of what happens if the process did work halfway." Sonar remarked off bored while dryly explaining what they learn about transferring memories into the clone of Dinobot.

"When the REAL Protoform X realizes what has happened, he'll give the clone the full power of his spark, and not even your half-baked ideas will stop the spark from taking over again. Turning it back into a Predacon killer." Ramulus coldly explains what happens when the original owner of the half Spark is near, the effort to turn Dinobot II good will all be for nothing.

"What, but-but…maybe with Aelita…" Jackrabbit was uncertain how to argue and tried to look towards Aelita as the one who can help but…

"The Key cannot handle a Spark as dangerous as Protofrm X, it was made from experiments to make it immortal like Starscream. It is unnatural and dangerous, you cannot free one half without dealing with the other." Sonar sternly gives a drill sergeant speech on lecturing the foolish troops for their actions.

"Guuuugh, you may be a tough drill fembot sergeant, but you're right. Chopper-face is walking right into pred-territory, and if they know what to do then he'll be trapped!" Rattrap replied a bit understanding while becoming worried if Dinobot II gets cornered. "Roller Mode!" Rattrap then transforms into vehicle mode and begins rolling away from the scene.

"Hey! Get back here, mouse!" Ramulus yelled at Rattrap having split the scene.

"Sorry, but we gotta go help!" Odd issued as he summoned his Over-Board and flew ahead after Rattrap.

"Um, but aren't we gonna help Taros first since he can't move?" Jin asked from thinking they are suppose to help a bot in need here, right?

Oh yeah, about that immobilizer beam thing he got hit with?" Jackrabbit scratch her head from recalling what Taros went through just like she and Rattrap did before. "Don't worry about it. It should wear off in a few cycles. Besides, I don't think we want to be around you when he recovers, and we've got a friend that we can't lose again."

"Ah, good point! Hold on tight now!" Jin replied as he grabs hold of Jackrabbit and Axel before using his wind power to blast off into the air.

"Hey, you really wanna do this? And drag the Key along?" Ramulus yelled at the fleeing bunch and their rash action that is putting Aelita in danger.

"Even so…" Aelita firmly spoke with a serious expression while activating her Angel Wings to appear. "We have to try…" She stated on knowing what her heart tells her to do here.

With enough said, Aelita flies after the others in pursuit of Rattrap who's pursing after Dinobot II. Leaving Ramulus, Sonar and Jawbreaker behind to watch over Taros.

"Heh, those little runts sure got guts. I'll give them that." Jawbreaker grins slyly at seeing those daring enough to go into an unknown battle despite the odds.

"Ugh, let's deal with one situation at a time." Sonar slapped her forehead from seeing this sort of rash happen of the youthful and the foolish that brought those along. "Hey, help with the first aid repairs." She turns to instruct those to help with Taros in need of assistance.

"Hmph, fine…" Ramulus huffs from seeing he got drag into another fine mess.

We see those trying to help fix Taros as the camera zooms away towards those on a rough road ahead to find Dinobot II before it anything can happen…

PRED TERRITORY

The scene opens around a rock-laden open valley section. Then we spot

Dinobot II running at top speed across sedimentary flat planes. Just then he stops in his tracks upon hearing a buzzing sound in the air. That's when the Transmetal II Raptor notices it's Waspinator in Beast Mode as he flies to him. Then the wasp bot transforms to Robot Mode to land in front of Dinobot II.

"Ooh. Wazzpinator found Lizard-bot. Megatron will be pleazzed." Waspinator exclaimed from having located Dinobot as he was instructed.

Ah, yes, the insect, my former practice-target." Dinobot II replied in a somewhat delighted tone to see an enemy he well remembers. "I do suspect your days have been…ill-fated." He issued on recalling how terrible Waspinator has with luck, and is always the one that suffers more then other Preds.

Whuh?" Waspinator replied confused to Dinobot II's statements. "Beep!" Waspinator presses his chest to activate his comlink as it open a channel. "Wazzpinator to Megatron. Wazzpinator found Lizard-bot. But Lizard-bot talking funny to Wazzpinator." Waspinator spoke into the com-link to give his report while sounding a bit confused.

"Well, whatever. Just see to it that he makes his way back to base. I'll inform Inferno to cease the search, we must prepare to test our new weapon at once." Megatron's voice was heard through the com-link with a follow-up instruction.

"Hmm?" Immediately upon hearing Megatron's voice, Dinobot II recognizes it as if it rattles his soul. "Nurrrrrhmmm…." Dinobot II becomes more enraged from hearing Megatron finish his order and especially the last part he said. "WAAARRRRGH!/STAB!" Dinobot II roars as he spins around once and quickly stabs his tail all the way through Waspinator's torso.

"DIIIYEEeeehhhh!? OOoouurrrrhhh?" Waspinator made a short cry while in pain as he realizes what happen to him.

"Hmmmm…" Dinobot II snarls lightly as he hangs his tail with Waspinator stuck on it over his head. "Megatron…." He speaks into the comlink on Waspinator's chest as the wasp bot was unable to react. "You will not win this time." Dinobot II slowly walks while he talks in a threatening manner.

MEANWHILE

AT THE PREDACON BASE

Quickly changing to the Predacon Base, one spots Megatron sitting in his commander chair while listening over the com link channel of what transpired.

"You'll have to scrap me to the ground once again before you take control of the Ark and seize the Key!" Dinobot's voice was heard through the com-link as he delivered his threatening message.

"Huuugh!?" Megatron gasped in surprise when he heard this. "It can't be." Megatron muttered under his breath, as he began to understand what's happen but was uncertain of the answer.

"CLANK!/Duurragh!?" Then Waspinator's voice was heard followed by a loud metal clank noise of the bot hitting the ground.

"Ahhh!?" Megatron yelps as something else happen on the radio as he listens in.

"Megatron, Wazzpinator wantz to renegotiate contract. Wazzpinator tired of…ooohhh!?" Waspinator's voice was heard through the com link until… "SLICE!/Duurrrrhhh!?" Then a cut slash sound was heard followed by the wasp bot's agonizing voice.

"Hmmm….?" Megatron makes a disappointed look as he lets off a low moan.

"Prepare for my arrival…Megatron." Dinobot II's voice was heard through the com-link but in another threatening manner.

The com channel was suddenly cut off at this time. Megatron had an annoyed expression, pauses for a few seconds to analyze the situation. He then presses his com-link button again.

"Megatron to Rampage. Report to me immediately." Megatron called forth to reach towards Rampage in question. "You and I are going to say hello to an old friend…And then goodbye!" He issued firmly with a stone cold expression, and then a more menacing remark soon afterwards.

OUTSIDE THE PREDACON BASE

The scene reopens around the volcanic rock area as the sun was starting to set. That's when one spots Rattrap rolling along the ground at medium speed while sniffing plus with Jackrabbit having decided on riding on the rodent. Accompanied by Aelita, Odd, Jin and Axel flying over the air to spot the Maximals.

"Any leads?" Jackrabbit asked Rattrap on what he's got.

"Well, despite all his body-switches, that lizard still hasn't lost his stink…" Rattrap issued on knowing the scent Dinobot II carries is the same even when the rodent hang with the old version.

"Wow, you can tell that much by smell? Can you even know our scents?" Jin asked flabbergasted that Rattrap has such a strong noise.

"Yeah, maybe let's NOT ask or memorize something like that." Axel issued on not wanting to even be remembered by smell alone.

"Well, if Dinobot was around here, where would he be?" Aelita asked from trying to understand what Dinobot was planning after he left them so suddenly.

"Probably looking for Preds to beat up, we did see Waspinator…hole in chest and head sliced off." Odd issued on recalling what evidence relates to the savage act that only a warrior like Dinobot could do to his enemy.

"Yeah, that's ChopperFace's handy work alright." Rattrap exclaimed to agree that they are on the right track. "Now where could he be going after that?" Rattrap muttered to himself, trying to figure out what would be the next move that only Dinobot would pull off.

"BAM-BOOM. KABOOM!" Suddenly there were loud explosion sounds nearby, as the group reacted to inspect the cliff edge. There many saw the valley below where the Predacon base was located. But there was smoke coming from one of the areas, indicating that it was under attack.

"Um, did Optimus order an attack at the enemy base?" Jin raise an eyebrow from being confused by the action.

"I think we rmemeber that." Axel stated on knowing this was an act they wouldn't do without being given a heads up to prepare.

"But then who's attacking?" Odd scratch his head from not sure who be foolish to attack the Predacons since they're barely getting by with protecting the Ark.

"Wait, we track Dinobot here, you don't suppose…" Jackrabbit yelps from putting a few pieces together to realize what this situation could spell…

"Oh no." Rattrap softly gasped upon realizing Dinobot II was just walking into the enemy line without a care. "Hold on tight! We gotta get in there, and quick!" He instructs the rabbit girl to not let go, he's gonna drive like no tomorrow.

Rattrap then begins rolling down the hill toward the Pred base with Jackrabbit yelping to hold on tight for the ride. Aelita's group looked at each other with concern before following after their friends with all the same concerns: Dinobot II has gone to engage the enemy on his own.

INSIDE THE PRED BASE

The camera zooms in to show the command center as the alarms were going off with red flashing lights. Then it zooms in to spot Megatron sitting at his command chair and rotates it to look at the monitor screen which shows Tarantulas with an alarmed expression. Plus in the background showed scattered pieces of metal parts all over the ground.

"What now?" Megatron asked from what the spider is calling him under such situation with the alarm going off.

"Megatron…The machine weapon we were constructing! It's been blasted to pieces!" Tarantulas expressed confusion on what has happened before moving the monitor.

What was displayed showed the mechanical armor suit was completely busted and it's parts scattered around. Not to mention parts of the ceiling having fallen and destroyed more components for it's construction. And lastly was the purple Energon crystal which was shattered.

"It'll take megacycles to repair!" Tarantulas expressed confusion and furiousness on the monitor.

"What?! How did this happen?" Megatron reacted from the shock of what has foiled their plan before it even got off the floor.

"We believe an attack at the Polar Energon Crystal when left in the armor suit caused a chain reaction." Fractyl explain a possible breach of attacking a power source cause a reaction that overloaded the whole armor suit.

"It created a huge explosion." Knock Out was seen to describe the events as well, mostly the destruction of their weapon. "And the data on what was used is completely destroyed." He revealed another shock on the data used to construct the suit was gone.

"All of it…." Megatron muttered off with a doubting shock expression: that means even if they fix the leftover scraps without the data it'll set them back further. "Who did this?!" Megatron exclaimed with a furious tone, demanding who had dealt a blow like this.

"We don't know! But your clone of Dinobot has just returned. Perhaps he knows." Tarantulas exclaimed over the monitor

"Hey, what are you doing?" Venomess was heard complaining of someone causing trouble.

"BAM-BAM!" Then explosions occurred behind Taranulas as he reacted too late to them. "Gyaahhh!/Gooooough!?" Fractyl and Knock Out were seen knock away by explosive sphere shot attacks and were not seen on the monitor.

"No, you fool!" Megatron yelps in surprise and tries to warn those of a sabotage from the corrupted Dinobot II.

"WAARRRRRRgh…/Trrussh…POWvhmm…" Dinobot II was heard roaring as he fired an Optic Sphere Shot when the spider turns to see who he's aiming at…

"GYAAAAAAAHHHHH!?" Tarantulas screamed as he braced for impact and… "KABOOM!" An explosion occurred which at that moment the screen display became all static from being cut off: clearly the spider was blown away by the destructive force.

"Oh." Megatron replied in a calm tone with a slight disappointment expression.

While still in the command chair, Megatron arms himself with his Tail-Grappler weapon and grasps it firmly. He rotates his seat to look down a dark corridor in the Predacon base as he hears slow footsteps coming down it. The footsteps grow louder. Megatron continues to sit in anticipation growing more expecting. Then the decapitated head of Tarantulas rolls into the room from the corridor. It lands right in front of Megatron and sparks a little.

"Hmmm?" Megatron hums firmly as he looks up at the corridor entrance as Dinobot II slowly and calmly enters.

"Megatron." Dinobot II calmly spoke with a tense tone of hatred while slowly approaching the enemy commander.

"Why, Dinobot. Quite the surprise to see you yet again. You truly amaze me." Megatron spoke with a calm and sincere tone upon seeing someone who was gone, return both in body…and mind. "Even after passing to the Pit, you manage to hunt me down and thwart my plans. You truly are a remarkable warrior. One that I sometimes wish I had kept on my side. Ye-es-es-es..." Megatron sounded very confident and also delighted by the sheer determination of the bot's resolve to go so far to stop his evil agenda and give credit where credit is due. "But then I just remind myself of your weakness: your pathetic struggle…for honor." Then he had a slight disappointed expression on his face on remembering the weakness the old Dinobot carried.

"You will not try it again, Megatron." Dinobot II tenses with hatred while not having paid attention to Megatron's previous comment.

"Oh, perhaps not just yet." Megatron replied with a calm and sincere tone. "First I have to get through a barrier that keeps on managing to get in my way. Isn't that right…Rampage." As Megatron issued this, he moves aside as someone walks behind him…Rampage in Robot Mode.

"Hmmm?" Dinobot II yelps slightly as he stops in his tracks: his expression begins to become fearful on knowing what's going to happen.

"Do it!" Megatron sternly and firmly gave the command to Rampage on what to do on his part.

"Hoo ha ha!" Rampage laughs as he puts his hands over his chest.

That's when Rampage's chest opens up the mechanical components and revealing his spark half. He cusps his hands over the spark and it begins to glow more. Rampage begins forcing more of his spark's power to emit a bright shine that it's light flashes near Dinobot II.

"GUURRUUAOOOGH!?" Dinobot II yelps in pain, as he clutches his chest.

"Surprise, are we? Since your Spark half came from Rampage's…shall we say…donated part, what is his…remains connected." Megatron exclaimed on explaining the little manner on the issue of what the two share. "I especially had your configuration to keep Rampage in line when you harm his half, but it appears the same thing can be done in reverse…" He explain the effect of having Dinobot II keep Rampage in line, and no the roles are in reserves.

"GAARrrugh…GOOOUUUarrgh….Gaaaahhhhh-huuuugh?" Dinobot II yells in pain as he grasp his chest, feeling another force affecting him. "Trying to…Regain…Control…by my SPARK!? URrragh…." Then Dinobot II opens up his Spark Chamber revealing his half of the spark and likewise cusps his claws over it. "NRruuooooaahh…" He growls as he is forcing his own will to resist the power of what the enemy is trying to do. "Haaarrrr…You do not have the power. This body is mine!" Dinobot II struggles somewhat while dishing a fractured speech on remaining who he is.

Dinobot II appears to succeed a little followed by his confident demeanor to will himself. It was a strange battle ground of Spark control, as Rampage and Dinobot II were in a stalemate.

"Grrrr…No. It's not working." Rampage struggles from feeling that for some reason, Dinobot II is resisting him and making it harder for his half Spark to be connected.

"Oh bother." Megatron slapped his forehead from seeing how this was growing tiresome. "Must I do everything?!" Then Megatron aims his Tail-Grappler as it charges up, and aims at Dinobot II to open fire.

Then a loud engine sound was heard coming through the same corridor Dinobot II enter through, and it was Rattrap revving it up at top speed. Jackrabbit held on tight as the rodent goes up a ramp, then flies through the air towards a surprise Megatron.

"CLASH!/GUURRAGH!?" Megatron yelps as he was knocked out of his command chair. "CRASH!/OOoohhh!?" And Megatron crashed down face first on the ground below.

"Nope. I can finish it for ya, Mega-brain!" Rattrap refers Megatron's previous comment with his own while transforming to Robot Mode and his gun drawn.

"Woah, when you rev it up, you really drive like a maniac?" Jackrabbit shakes her head from having dealt with the wild ride.

"Ehh, what can I say, I'm always butting into other folks business." Rattrap shrug off to make a light joke on the subject, especially when ramming into people he don't like.

"KAPOW!/FOowwwvm…." Then flames and wind blow away some areas, then Odd rode on his Over-Board and Aelita flew by her energy wings into the chamber.

"Jin and Axel are keeping some of the other Predacons at bay. We need to find Dinobot!" Aelita exclaim on what they need to do, get their friend and get out.

"Looks like we made it in time, look!" Odd points to noticing the strange battle of Rampage and Dinobot II with their Sparks expose. "Guess someone didn't get the memo that our boy has reconsidered rejoining us?" Odd exclaimed from making a light joke on the enemy not knowing they got Dinobot back on their side.

"Then let's re-educate them!?" Rattrap exclaimed as he then points his gun toward Rampage who's still struggling with his Spark to manipulate Dinobot II. "All right Crab-legs, this one's for the bots we have trouble getting along with." Rattrap declared on about to dish some justice out.

"CLIP!/GUagh-Ugh!?" But before Rattrap can fire on Rampage, Megatron had instantly took this chance and grabs Rattrap by the neck with his tail weapon and holds him up above the ground. "Ugh-Aahhhh!?" Rattrap drops his gun as he's being strangled and can't break free.

"Rattrap!?" Aelita gasped upon seeing their friend was caught and being strangled.

"And this is for me, rodent. Prepare for a reunion with your dear comrade Dinobot… in the PIT!" Megatron declared forth as he begins to put the squeeze around the rodent's neck.

"WHY YOU…" Jackrabbit was preparing to launch a fireball move to kick it off but….

"Move and it will be the end of the rat!" Megatron threatens Jackrabbit to stand down with Rattrap's life hanging in the balance. "And that goes for all of you! Unless of course, you don't care what happens to rodents?" He threats Odd and Aelita in the air to not make a sudden move without consequences.

"Darn…we shouldn't have drop our guard." Odd cursed their luck that the enemy pulled a fast one like this.

"Megatron…Let him go!" Aelita glares at the enemy and demands the release of their friend.

"Hmph-hmph, oh I might consider it…if you're considering to take the vermin's place." Megatron let's loose a chuckle while asking for nothing in return…except for Aelita. "Well…?" He dangled Rattrap in the air, as if forcing a choice.

This was a tough spot, if anyone made a sudden move…Megatron would end Rattrap without hesitation. And worse of all, if Aelita gave herself up to save a friend, the enemy would have the Key, and that would lead to who knows what kind of problems down the road. During the same time as Dinobot II was still struggling with Rampage over their Sparks, the raptor witness that Rattrap and the others were in trouble. Dinobot II wanted to help, but he can't lose concentration of resisting the evil half spark's power.

"Hmmmm?" Dinobot II made low moans from his conflicting state, as he stares at those struggling.

"Geeee…ugh…" Rattrap continues to struggle from Megatron's strangling but can't.

"Hurgh…" Dinobot II seem ready to strike as were the others until the rodent noticed things.

"No! Don't help me!" Rattrap spoke with a choke breath, as he was having the enemy see him speak to only those near but not at Dinobot II. "You have to concentrate on the bigger picture! Save yourselves!" Rattrap made this request while on the spot of his life endanger.

"What….you can't be serious!?" Jackrabbit asked from thinking the rat has lost his mind.

"Right, if we leave you, he'll destroy you without so much as a second thought." Odd exclaimed from knowing what Megatron do and not stop a second later.

"Rattrap, Megatron won't harm me if I surrender and take your place, so…" Aelita tries to convince the bot, but…

"No! Don't Do It!" Rattrap still struggles under his breath while speaking to everyone "We can't lose anyone, not again! Take Aelita and ChopperFace and GO!" Rattrap asked from not wanting to lose anyone else.

"Brave final words…from a DEAD Rat!?" Megatron firmly grit his teeth at what the rodent was doing, and it will cost him dearly.

As Dinobot II struggles with deep conflicts on what to do, everything was occurring all at once. The background was even playing some heroic theme of what the warrior must do next. From all things considered, Dinobot II made a firm motion, as if charging his left lens eye for an attack. Rampage saw this action and became fearful of forgetting Dinobot II had a weapon that didn't require hands.

"I was only able to remain for a short while, but…grugrugraaahh…it help do good in the end. Now I go out…and be remembered…" Dinobot muttered forth as he turns his focus away from Rampage while letting his Spark return inside his Spark Chamber. "For honor." Dinobot II softly spoke to himself as he faces his direction at Megatron upon realizing what must be done: at the same time, the background music reach it's conclusion…

"POWWH…" Then Dinobot II fires the optic beam sphere at Megatron. "BAM!/GRAAAAURGH!?" The attack caught Megatron off guard as he screamed from being knock away while releasing Rattrap from the metallic tail grappler part.

"Gwwuagh….hugh!?" Rattrap yelp from the ground before looking at what Dinobot II did.

"BWAARRRRHHH!" Rampage quickly uses this opportunity of vulnerability to give his spark all of the power he has. "HAAAAAAAARRRRHHHH!" He grasps his spark tightly and yells with full effortful on final push.

"GGRRRROOOUUUAARRRRRRGHHHHHH!" Dinobot II yells before he falls to his knees in pain, as he feels the spark taking over completely. "GYYYAAARRRRRRHHHHHH!" There are instantaneous flashes again of the original Dinobot's body in the place of Dinobot II's body in the same screaming position.

"Rampage is trying to gain control!?" Jackrabbit yelps upon seeing what the enemy was trying to do.

"Aelita, can you stop him?" Odd asked the girl who helped Dinobot II before get his mind in order like last time.

"I can try from this distance…" Aelita stated on thinking she can try if she's close enough to connect. "AAhhhh…." She lets off an angelic voice melody as her body emits a glow. Then the view quickly zooms into Dinobot II's right eye where all goes dark at this moment...

WITHIN DINOBOT'S MIND

The scene changes to quickly reveal the dark space as untold flashes of lightning lash out all over. Then we spot Dinobot's robot head struggling to withstand the disasters going wild within the mind.

"Dinobot…" Aelita's voice was heard as a light flash within the storm.

"Grrr…?" Dinobot's spirutal head groans to tilt upwards at who's calling his name.

"Dinobot…" Then appearing was the spirutal full body version of Aelita. "Let me help you, it's not too late…" The girl offers to help so that this version of her friend can survive.

"Forgive me…" Dinobot's spiritual head spoke weakly as if barely holding on. "I lost this battle…so long as the evil half exist, it will….nrrrrgh…control the actions of the body." He explained the rough reality of knowing if he goes, then the evil half that's from Protoform-X will be active again.

"We can help, we can try again…" Aelita issued on wanting to not lose her friend, not after they just got him back.

"Child…you already helped enough. If someday the evil Spark goes out, I may yet again be able to return. But I may not remember things so…quickly…after being submerge in the consciousness of the mind…" Dinobot's spiritual head explains things that though he maybe gone, he may someday return if an opportunity should arise. "Tell the others…it was good to see them…one…last….time…" He weakly asked for this final favor before he goes…

"DINOBOOOOOOT!?" Aelita screamed as she tried to reach for her friend in worry of watching him go again…

"WAAAAAARRRRRUGH!?" Dinobot's head screams as it falls into the dark abyss and fades away: then a huge energy explosion occurs.

"WAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHHHH!" Then from the energy wave explosion, Rampage's robot head is seen laughing triumphantly.

"AAAaahhhh…" Aelita yelps from the bright flash as the entire scene fads out…

BACK IN REALITY

"AAAAaaaaahhhh!?" Aelita suddenly broke out of her focus glowy self, and pass out briefly to fall from in mid-air.

"Woah, I got'cha!?" Odd yelps to catch Aelita, shock as she faint moment pass to wake a bit. "What happen?" Odd asked puzzled from what he saw, as the pink haired girl look down in sadness.

"I'm…sorry…I…couldn't get to him…in time…" Aelita exclaimed with a broken heart expression on revealing the truth.

When having heard that, the group of Odd, Jackrabbit and Rattrap were shock. Odd lands Aelita near the slightly hurt Rattrap as Jackrabbit was helping the guy up from his strangle case earlier. At the same time, Dinobot II was kneeling on the ground in front of the approached Rampage while the former slowly gets up.

"Welcome back, my evil half brother." Rampage exclaimed to accept this clone since they share the same Spark.

"A pleasure." Dinobot II exclaimed from reviewing what transpire and realized he's once again regain his evil self. "Yet I'll be more pleased when I've finished with a certain Maximal rodent." Dinobot II then begins approaching Rattrap's group with a menacing expression as many struggle to recover what happen to some of them.

"Oh no." Rattrap looked up at Dinobot II's menacing glare on his approach to them to realize what happened. "Ah, heheh…don't suppose we can talk this over? We're pretty much beat, I mean…where's the honor in slagging us now?" The rodent tries to ask for mercy, but Dinobot II draws out his razor claws.

"I-think-NOT!" Dinobot II protest as he held his razor claws forth. "This will teach you to tamper with my spark, Maximal!" Dinobot II exclaimed as he prepares to deal a cut blow on the one who caused all this.

"SHIELD!" Odd then summoned his purple shield and stood in front of the group. "CLASH!" The boy endured the attack from Dinobot II's attack, but it felt heavy.

"Hmmm…Hmhmhmhmmm….can you keep that up for much longer?" Dinobot II lets off a loose laughter at the desperate acts. "When one turns up the HEAT!?" The left optic lens eye was flashing in preparing an even deadlier attack next.

"Ugh, maybe?" Odd sheepishly smile with a worried expression.

Then just before Dinobot II was about to attack the group, an explosion was heard that shook the base. Then all eyes looked to spot a big hole that was just blown now. Then stepping onto the scene was Taros fully recovered along with Sonar, Ramulus, Jawbreaker, and Jin and Axel.

"Knock-knock, guess who?" Axel grins to say as the Maximals take aim.

"Huuugh!?" Dinobot II gasped in shock from being targeted by so many. "POW!/BAM!" Then some missiles were fired from the Maximals that exploded near Dinobot II. "GRUUAARRGH!?" Dinobot II yelps as he was knock away from the others.

"BWARrrrrhhh!" Rampage roared as he took out his Triple Launcher to aim forth when…

"Today's forecast, heavy wind!" Jin issued from preparing a special surprise by rotating his arms to create cyclones.

The suddenly Jin released a double dosage of tornado force that caused Rampage to be blind and lost his footing. That allowed Rattrap, Jackrabbit, and Odd carrying Aelita over the shoulder to meet up with the rescue party.

"Few, thanks for the save." Odd signs with relief that the cavalry arrived in the nick of time.

"Yeah, it was a close call…" Jackrabbit thanks those that pulled them out of a jam.

"Don't thank us yet…" Ramulus remotely issued with a dry tone of an uncaring expression.

"Don't think that after this we let the Predacons scrap you before some of us got the chance to." Sonar remarked towards Rattrap and Jackrabbit for having been the major cause of this whole thing.

"Eh, save it, will yah sergeant lady!? Now let's bolt this joint!" Rattrap issued on wanting to scram before they don't live to see those yell at him later.

"How, the enemy is jamming our coms, we can't get a Warp Gate back." Odd raised an eyebrow, uncertain they can getaway if some Jamming Tower stops their movement.

"Already ahead, follow us." Taros instructs those that things are well taken care of.

"Bah, guess we save the next battle another time." Jawbreaker huffs from seeing they gotta leave then stick around to fight more.

Everyone quickly escapes through the giant blown hole and made a bee-line towards a War Gate device. When it looked like it was all clear, who should be standing guard from behind then…Stinkbomb!?

"Uh-oh! We're about to get SKUNKED!?" Odd yelps from seeing who's gonna cause trouble, as he, Rattrap and Jackrabbit get ready when…

"Relax, and keep your voice down before you give us away." Sonar lectures the rodent on being too noisy.

"What are you talking about?" Jackrabbit raise an eyebrow, uncertain what was going on.

"It's a pain, but I'll fill you in." Ramulus signs from seeing the lot was not up to speed. "Stinkbomb here is actual a Maximal, posing as a Predacon." He issued on revealing the truth of the matter.

"What!? He's ah….but you…back then…we…" Rattrap yelps as he and the others were stump: this whole time, Stinkbomb was not a reprogram Protoform turn Predacon. But why the secrecy?

"Hey, it's a dirty gig, but someone has to keep an eye on the Predacons. I'm lucky enough to be assign Warp Gate duty, I'll say you knock me out in surprise from behind and used it to escape." Stinkbomb shrug off his shoulders to come up with an excuse on how this lot got through him.

"How can we be sure he's telling the truth?" Jackrabbit raise an eyebrow, uncertain if they can trust someone like Stinkbomb who not long ago was almost gonna wipe them out and take Aelita.

"He is…" Aelita's words made the others look to her as she slowly stood up from Odd holding her over a shoulder arm. "I…sense it, he's a Maximal…he was not reprogram…" Aelita revealed the truth that from this closeness, she can tell…Stinkbomb is not evil like a Predacon should be.

"Yeah, well better get going, your act will draw more attention if you don't split." Stinkbomb insist on what the group here best do before it's too late.

Everyone quickly activated the Warp Gate, and made an escape before it shuts down. Meanwhile back in the Pred Command Center, few seconds had pass after the others escape. And there we spot Megatron, Dinobot II, and Rampage all approach each other.

"Well Dinobot, I hope I can be assured of your loyalty as once it was." Megatron exclaimed on making certain this bot is himself again: which is the newer persona and not the old version.

"My allegiance is to none other than you, mighty Megatron." Dinobot II humbly bows an arm to show signs of respect to his leader.

"Excellent." Megatron grins from seeing a very loyal minion was once again, under his control. "And I promise you, my malcontent minion, very soon you will be among the first to taste our delectable victory over the Maximals. Ye-es-es-es." He declared on what will be their moment of winning the war against the Maximals.

"Bah, this never happen if you left my Spark half with me!" Rampage protest from knowing this whole thing fell apart due to Megatron splitting his Spark and giving half of it for Dinobot II. "Thanks to the Maximals, we have nothing!" He issued on what remains from the great plan was no in tatters.

"I wouldn't be so certain of that…" Another voice was heard making a sly commnet…

Suddenly the Preds yelp but then something moved quickly around the room. And then it appeared from out of nowhere from it's invisible stealth function. At first many believed it was Cheetor but…the theme was more black. Then the cat bot roars to transform from Beast Mode to Robot Mode, revealing himself…

"Huhuhuhahahaaaaaahhh…" The evil laughter heard was all too familiar that Megatron instantly recognize it.

"RAVAGE!?" Megatron yelled out, surprised to see this bot again.

"Arrrrugh…how are YOU still ALIVE!?" Rampage roared in raged, last time they saw Ravage he was destroyed along with his ship; and the crab bot remembers being blasted by this guy before.

"You be surprise…I believe I owe much of it to you, Megatron…" Ravage expressed something that left Megatron more confused then usual. "Your experiment of Transmetal II tech and the accident explosive wave that spread, helped bring me back from my long stasis, and I'm here to repay it." Ravage issued on wishing to offer a helpful hand to the Predacon cause.

"Hmmm, and what pre-tell, did you have in mind?" Dinobot II huffs off from not sure what this bot had that they would want.

"I've investigated your little plan to take control of the Ark while being…unnoticed. While the battle mech armor powered by Bi-polar Energon was a good one, it was only a small amount." Ravage explain the topic on how the plan was a nice move, but the energy source was the problem. "What if I told you there was more, and much larger?" He issued on mentioning where they can obtain more of the purple Energon stuff and in larger quantities.

"Hmph, finding just one was difficult, where can there be a larger amount in our territories?" Dinobot II scuffs off the subject on how rare it was to even gain a small amount of bi-polar Energon.

"That's just it, it's not…because it's where your enemies live and don't know it." Ravage expressed a sly smile when mentioning who has more but don't realize what they even have. "And if you use the remains of my ship and old blueprints on developing an energy base weapon…you may have a chance to win." He revealed a small device which display a digital blueprint design on Ravage's old ship from the energy machinery that powered the weapons.

"Hmmm?" Megatron lightly taps his chin, finding this stuff to be…useful. "Interesting, and where is the Bi-polar Energon located?" He turns to ask on the location that not even the Maximals know about it.

"Right here, the Maximals instruments won't notice it until the weapon is fully operational. And it'll be in perfect target range." The device revealed a location of where the volcano that has the Ark is set, followed another mountain nearby.

"Well, I suppose in that case…" Megatron began to show a sly grin across his face. "Our alliance, is once again active. Welcome aboard, Ravage…" Megatron expressed his thanks on allowing this bot to join their ranks.

"Indeed…let us change history…for the better." Ravage exclaimed with a little sly smile across his face. "For The Decepticons!" Ravage roared up to the sky, announcing the start of a new coming: as the scene slowly fads out around now…

LATER THAT NIGHT

AT THE MAXIMAL FORT

The scene later reveals the Maximal Command Center, where Optimus, Rhinox, Longrack, Dive-Bomb, followed by Jeremie, Ulrich, William, Sissi and Yumi were present. And those that had return were none other then Taros, Jawbreaker, Soar and Ramulus who brought in the troublesome group of Aelita, Odd, Rattrap and Jackrabbit with a sad expression.

"Of all the foolish actions, do you realize what sort of danger you put yourselves in without telling us?" Dive-Bomb lectured the youthful and foolish bunch that tried to head off on a crazy half-bake plan they said not to do.

"Well, we proved the plan worked…" Odd sheepishly smile on trying to provide useful results, but…

"Until it didn't, right?" Ulrich remarked on how in the end, getting Dinobot back was a bust.

"Hey! Rampage was there and Dinobot was holding out fine until…a slip up happen?" Odd protest on trying to make his argument but…had trouble enforcing it.

"It was our fault, if we weren't there…then…" Aelita looked down to feel regret that everything they work for was all for nothing.

"Aelita, it isn't your fault. We all miss him." Jeremie gently pats Aelita on the back, trying to comfort her.

"Yeah, Jeremie's right. You kids did nothing wrong, heh, if anything…the problem lies with follow this rat into a dangerous situation." Rattrap tries to be the responsible one and take more of the blame then anyone.

"Heh, you should have brought more if you wanted to fight." Jawbreaker smirks from finding himself having missed on something good, he's hungry to go into battles.

"Well, I suppose since what you told us about a secret weapon the enemy was working on was destroyed, the ends justify the action…I suppose?" Longrack scratch his head from imaging the matter of how everything came into place despite how those here originally were moving without knowing of a bigger threat.

"Yeah, but what else did Dinobot say?" Yumi asked from sounding concern on the warning they got from when they had Dinobot on their side for a few moments.

"From what we heard, Megatron's change his plan on just seizing the Ark and destroying the Autobot Leader." Axel issued on revealing some new info on what Megatron had his sights set on.

"Aye, but what else could be more dangerous then that? Not that the first one wasn't bad enough." Jin exclaimed to shrug off the arms, not seeing any idea what could be a far more dangerous act to endanger time and reality.

"What a pain, another mystery for us to solve." Ramulus signs a bit from realizing what they got rope into next. "Still you lot did alright despite this setback, makes it clear we can't leave the Ark unguarded and unprotected." The bot issued from knowing it's time to take in the responsibility on what they need to do from here…

"Agreed…" Optimus nods to agree on the subject.

"Listen…I'm sorry about this whole thing, Fearless Leader. I just really wanted him back, you know…our old buddy Dinobot." Rattrap spoke up in the middle of the discussion, displaying an apologetic and disappointed expression.

"I understand, Rattrap." Optimus spoke with a forgiving tone from knowing that Rattrap is reflecting on the manner. "But right now, we have a bigger concern. If what you told and the others said is true, then it sounds like Megatron's plans for the Ark have only just begun. Rhinox, Longrack, Dive-Bomb, we better start increasing the defenses." He turns to the other Maximal Scientist, knowing they need all the help to make their base that much harder to breach.

"Ho, if there's fighting, then count me in." Jawbreaker grins from petting his wolf head-hand, as they like the idea to go into battles.

"Ready to begin…" Sonar salutes in awaiting orders.

"Yes, we'll assemble and inform our other comrades on what to be ready for." Optimus nods to confirm that they will take the necessary steps. "Dismiss…" He turns to announce the dismissal of their meeting.

With that Optimus leads the Maximal Scientist out, and the other bots leave as well. Leaving only the Lyoko Warriors to see Rattrap and Jackrabbit who stood quietly by themselves in sorrow.

"There was just one defense I ever needed, and now he's gone forever." Rattrap softly spoke to himself that was full of sorrow.

"Hey, that's not true CheeseBreath, you're not alone." Jackrabbit expressed her thoughts to gently pat the rodent's backside.

"Aye, we may have failed once, but maybe there's always next time!" Jin tries to think of something to stay positive in this matter.

"Is there a next time?" Rattrap asked from sounding somewhat doubtful if they can ever get another chance.

"Rattrap, I was inside Dinobot II's mind, and although he's been sealed away…there maybe a chance." Aelita briefly smiled to speak on saying it's not entirely hopeless: and she knows why.

"A chance, how princess?" Odd raise an eyebrow, stump and confused by those words.

"It was faint but it was more then just uploading memories into the body similar to him, for a brief moment…our Dinobot was almost back." Aelita explain a strange sense during the time she perform the Mind Link, and witness something that was almost the full revival of Dinobot. "But I think if the evil from the outside source is gone, it may result in the half Spark to become more complete with the new lifeform that is Dinobot, even restore him completely." The girl expressed what she believes was a sense of knowing what the likely act would bring if the evil that's Rampage is purge from Dinobot II.

"Woah, is that possible? And how do you know?" Axel asked from not sure how Aelita came to such a conclusion.

"I don't, it's just…a feeling. Perhaps it's something that only the Key can tell?" Aelita shrug off her shoulders to admit what she said maybe an instinct of her role as the Key can tell her of such a possibility.

"Well, that might be something, thanks…" Rattrap lightly replied from feeling a little better from what Aelita said to help heal his spirit.

At this moment, a heroic melody begins to play during this event. As we see everyone follow Rattrap as he slowly walks outside the blast-doors and into the outdoors. It was night time and the sky was filled with stars. Rattrap looks up at the sky.

"You have your honor, Chopper-face. But now you've got something else…." Rattrap softly speaks up to the sky, making these wishful thoughts out loud. "My thanks…and all of our thanks…" The rodent expressed these words as he looked to the rest that join him for this short moment of remembrance.

The camera zooms out from Rattrap and the group, turns to see the starry sky. One star glows brightly and shines back. At this moment the melody ends, as if signaling that wherever Dinobot is, he is not far and is somehow in everyone's hearts. The scene fads out as the events of getting Dinobot back may have failed, but as long as that tiny hope still glimmers, one can never know what the future may bring…

NOTES: The entire chapter is a renw version of the Lost Episode, having a few more things added then just Rattrap getting the Old Dinobot back in Dinobot II.

The MegaPod Prototype is actually the vehicle seen in the comic 'Ain't No Rat' for the Transformers 20th Summer Anniversary.

*Also the name is similar to a Code Lyoko vehicle but it's the early prototype version.

The lines Rattrap used 'Ride Like The Wind Bullseye' was from Toy Story 2.

The large suit powered by a Bi-Polar Energon Crystal is a reference to the Iron Monger with the Arc Reactor from the Marvel Film Iron Man.

From the original lost transcript, Depth Charge was team up with Rattrap but since such a thing was never made, it was recycle and put in use in a different episode.

*Also I sub in Taros in Depth Charge's role to aid Rattrap with Dinobot to make it a bit more interesting since the two will have their own adventure in the actual episode that is after this original chapter.

The surprise of Stinkbomb being on the Predacon side but is still a Maximal is explained while just like in the original version, will be a spy within the enemy's group.

A small hint clue of when Dinobot II will regain his original old self when Rampage is no more which will play out during the 2 part finale.

-TRANSMETAL II CHARACTERS-

Okay then, it's time for the profiles of Transformer profiles. Worked through things to decide how they appear. Which Includes the Maximals and Predacons from the comic version that were Transmetal IIs upon activation. And I even threw in Scavenger, a bot from the actual Transformers series, I know lots of fans have wondered about if he's Inferno's Transmetal form, but from what I looked up, the two are different. Anyway, here's the role call on their appearance:

-PREDACONS-

-1ST-

*Scavenger

Function: Infantry Commander

Transmutation: Transmetal II

Beast Mode: A Transmetal Version of an Ant. The metal frame is red with bronze gold in the chest/back region, silver metal legs, antenna, and pincer jaws, and blue insect-like eyes.

Robot Mode: The rear converts into purple robot legs with an orange one-toe length show, a back drop cover behind the rear, and the upper insect body converts into a green scale chestplate. The insect head splits to form the back cover of the shoulders with the arms displaying the 3 ant legs as extra appendages. The arms are purple in robotic skin, but the hands are large orange drills. The head pops out resembling a purple insect helmet theme with three green beady insect eye décor, a silver mounted jaw and antenna horns by the ears, a silver liquid mouth guard within the sharp helmet jaw, and yellow optic eyes with white pupils.

Vehicle Mode: Transforms the Beast Mode by converting the legs crescent towards the rear, the head moves upwards to display the double drills in front, and displays spike wheels under the rear. Resembling a mechanical ant driller vehicle.

Weapon: Drill Hands: Twin augers that can drill into any surface and act as hands in robot mode.

Bio: Was one of the reprogrammed Stasis Pods the Predacons obtain, but due to the effects of the Transmetal Drive Incident caused a strange action. Having obtain a beastly appearance when transform to Robot Mode, Quillfire had also gain a strange sense of self when under the effect of the Beast Virus before shockingly became cure of it.

Full of bravado up until it looks like things are getting hairy, at which point he's ready to turn and run.

Fate: After the Predacon's great lost in the Beast Wars, decided to remain on Nexus Earth and round up any Preds to start a revolution.

Note: The Robot Mode and Personality match very much of Quillfire from Transformers RIB 2015 series. Originally meant to be a prisoner returning back to Cybertron, but decided to have him stay on Earth.

The front gator head closes down on top with the mouth facing down between the waist and acting like a chest-plate.

Ability: Blue Moon

Ability Info: A unique ability where during the night where there is a moon, a flow of blue energy empowers Predazor. Making one physically stronger and dealing greater damage to targets with melee attacks. When performing Predator Wave to uplift the gator mouth to open and charge with energy, the released energy stream wave is increased. When there is a full moon out, the Blue Moon ability is at it's highest 100% point where performing the Predator Wave has the same force of a mighty warship's main energy cannon. However the user must be bath under the moonlight to obtain this enhanced energy, or else it's no different then when it's a new moon and one's strength is just as it was during the daylight.

Bio: When the Transmetal Driver event occurred followed by an explosion, among the pods it crashed near a swamp area where it scan a vicious alligator while strangely was bathed in moonlight. The vicious action of the Beast Virus effect plus the vicious gator behavior destroy the pod before Predazor appeared and scared the wild life. While it would have gone on a rampage, strangely because it was base on a vicious creature, the virus hardly did much before it's energy pattern change when the beast was activating it's ability under the moonlight which seem to change the raging power into something else while regaining it's senses.

Predazor displays the actions of a lone warrior, while he was never actually reprogram his violent behavior seem best suited with the Predacons. Sometimes being so firm and aggressive that he frightens the lower and weaker type Predacons, and makes himself someone dangerous when they have a hard time fighting him. He is struggling to find himself and sees the only way is on the battlefield. Yet while it may not show much, Predazor may have the potential to be good if given a chance. Especially when he treats those not apart of the Beast Wars with fair kindness or even help a wounded enemy left alone with no one to help them. Even when he's seen as a beast, there maybe more then meets the eye.

Fate: When the Beast Wars conclusion was nearly over, Predazor saw how Dinobot II stood up against Megatron when aboard the Nemesis. He even saw how Dinobot II acted more like a proper warrior then just a killing machine. And knew that what they have done was no longer a war of fierce warriors fighting it out, but a slaughter of both enemy and innocent life. Afterward having survived the final closure of the war, Predazor choose'd to wonder Nexus Earth and felt to go where the wind takes him. He may have at the end wanted to be alone to atone for everything he's done, he may even find those that have things in common of being a lone warrior.

NOTE: The inspired gator was thanks to BumbleSpark's OC Skullcrusher. The name Predazor is a close reference to the Predazord from Power Rangers Wild Force. The Beast Mode matches the Wild Zord Alligator and the main body of the Evil Predazord (but with a change of it's arms plus in Blue Moon mode)

Sometimes depending on the volume can effect electric devices to malfunction for a brief while. When using a specially engineered Energon Crystal pendant, amplifies the Siren's Voice ability to cast hypnotic electric waves and even perform a powerful sonic scream burst. It's believed this ability can almost be related to an actual Siren's Song of a mythical legends when they sing entrances sailors by their beautiful singing to not realize the danger they may soon encounter.

Bio: Due to a freak incident of the Transmetal Driver event, the explosion sent 3 particular Stasis Pods in one direction. When found by the Predacons it obtain Scan DNA of a large Asian Water Monitor lizard and a water snake called a Nerodia, but from the Transmetal II technology, merge the two to become something like a type Naga-Dragon breed.

When coming online, three bots with similar Beast Modes and Abilities became a group known as the Siren Trio. Their dazzling beauty is almost as lovely as when they display the skill of their singing ability and wanting to be adored by others. The members are Sea-Dazzle the leader, along with Sea-Blaze and Sea-Dusk as backup units. Sea-Dazzle displays her skills of being the brains of her unit from her intelligence on always dealing with matters from schemes and manipulate others to do what she wants. The only problems she deals with is her fellow company back-up members being a problem and trying to take charge of leading them.

Fate: When the Beast Wars was almost reaching it's conclusion, the arrival of Tigerhawk who displayed a power of the Vok defeated many Predacons. The Siren Trio tried to use their Siren's Voice, only to suffer a critical blow to their Energon Crystal Pendant which also damage their singing voices. In the aftermath, they feared their usefulness to the Predacons was at an end and would be terminated so they gone into hiding. When discovered by the Maximals, it was revealed they lost much of their ability and have been doing some vocal practices to at least sing and entertain human crowds as some special dragon act. The fate of either returning to Cybertron as prisoners or staying on Nexus Earth under watchful eyes if they promise to never do evil again, would be left entirely up to them on what was the better choice.

Note: The Beast Mode is base on the divine water dragon from Disney's 'Raya And The Last Dragon' film but more Transmetal II theme. The Robot Mode is base on Mystic Mermaid from Power Rangers Mystic Force. The color theme & personality is to match 'Adagio Dazzle' from My Little Pony: Equestria Girls series. Previously was known as Ichi Dazzle, but changed to replace the first name as Sea to match a reference of the Beast Mode matching a Sea Dragon, plus rolls off the tongue matching a Transformer-like name base.

The liquid female face displays a mouth, nose, and moderate raspberry optics with white pupils. Also wields a tail style trident as a melee weapon. The appearance of the robot mode is matching closely to a Transformer version of a siren of the sea.

Arsenal: Tail-Trident: A tail style trident useful for close combat and throwing purposes in battle. Hydro Mist Blaster: Wields a theme color blaster capable of firing from energy shots to mist spray meant to create a foggy mist or blindside targets.

Ability: Siren Voice

Ability Info: The ability to channel one's vocals into a harmonic melody. On it's own it's used to distract enemies to look at where the sound is coming from. Sometimes depending on the volume can effect electric devices to malfunction for a brief while. When using a specially engineered Energon Crystal pendant, amplifies the Siren's Voice ability to cast hypnotic electric waves and even perform a powerful sonic scream burst. It's believed this ability can almost be related to an actual Siren's Song of a mythical legends when they sing entrances sailors by their beautiful singing to not realize the danger they may soon encounter.

Bio: Due to a freak incident of the Transmetal Driver event, the explosion sent 3 particular Stasis Pods in one direction. When found by the Predacons it obtain Scan DNA of a large Asian Water Monitor lizard and a water snake called a Nerodia, but from the Transmetal II technology, merge the two to become something like a type Naga-Dragon breed. From such effects even the Beast Virus completely evolved the Beast Mode into being a Fuzor with Transmetal II tech abilities.

When coming online, three bots with similar Beast Modes and Abilities became a group known as the Siren Trio. Their dazzling beauty is almost as lovely as when they display the skill of their singing ability and wanting to be adored by others. The members are Sea-Dazzle the leader, along with Sea-Blaze and Sea-Dusk as backup units. Sea-Dusk displays her skills of being a somewhat air-headed and carefree type but follows orders without questions. At times doesn't pick up on Sea-Dazzle's sarcasm. While being seen as the least acts of a Predacon, she can be quite a troublesome character even more then Sea-Blaze and drives Sea-Dazzle crazy at times.

Fate: When the Beast Wars was almost reaching it's conclusion, the arrival of Tigerhawk who displayed a power of the Vok defeated many Predacons. The Siren Trio tried to use their Siren's Voice, only to suffer a critical blow to their Energon Crystal Pendant which also damage their singing voices. In the aftermath, they feared their usefulness to the Predacons was at an end and would be terminated so they gone into hiding. When discovered by the Maximals, it was revealed they lost much of their ability and have been doing some vocal practices to at least sing and entertain human crowds as some special dragon act. The fate of either returning to Cybertron as prisoners or staying on Nexus Earth under watchful eyes if they promise to never do evil again, would be left entirely up to them on what was the better choice.

Note: The Beast Mode is base on the divine water dragon from Disney's 'Raya And The Last Dragon' film but more Transmetal II theme. The Robot Mode is base on Mystic Mermaid from Power Rangers Mystic Force. The color theme & personality is to match 'Sonata Dusk' from My Little Pony: Equestria Girls series. Previously was known as San Dusk, but changed to replace the first name as Sea to match a reference of the Beast Mode matching a Sea Dragon, plus rolls off the tongue matching a Transformer-like name base.

Name: Lugnutz

Function: Predacon

Transmutation: Transmetal II

Beast Mode: A Transmetal II Version of War Horse. The entire body is a metallic black armored horse. Has silver frame limbs & golden mane & tail. reflecting a Light & Dark balance. The optic eyes were clear green with white pupils.

Robot Mode: Transforms by rising upwards, converts the rear and front legs into the main robot legs and robot arms.

Arsenal: Horse Glaive: A glaive made from the mane and head horse style, meant for close melee combat. Energy Optic Beams: Channels energy through the optics and fires an electric optic beam that deals damage up to medium range.

Ability: Semi-Portal Travel

Ability Info: Channels Energon from one's self to form what could be a portal of energy. This provides the ability to travel to other places at will, and can be use on one's allies to be brought forth during battle times. However while this ability provides great effort in key tactics to turn the tides of war, it can be very consuming if the user does not have the large Energon amount to perform it; even as a Transmetal II there are times to perform it once and save energy before doing so again. So doing multi portal jumps around is possible but it drains the energy much faster.

Bio: After the accident explosion from the Transmetal Drive experiment, Lugnutz came online but found himself in the air when coming out of his Stasis Pod. Just before the pod crash on the ground, Lugnutz activated his ability to summon a portal and escape damage. After feeling like the experience was 'far-out' he traveled around to find meaning of why he was activated, and then came across Clobber and Lockdown. After telling them to chill and just feel the universe go by and something will come to answer their questions…they did. In the form of Predacons telling the three they are apart of their unit and should aid Megatron to win the Beast Wars.

Now as far as Lugnutz goes, he's got some skills to be a good fighter, he's fast and agile, not to mention he can portal to anyplace he wants. Though he's associated wit the Predacons, he has no interest in their goals of conquest. He just follows where the road takes him. He's simply doing jobs for the Preds to keep himself in Energon, but if things get too much he'll bolt it. His hep lingo sometimes loses those cats he chooses to groove with, can they dig it. He's a very mellow kinda bolt…

Fate: When the Beast Wars was about to reach it's finale, Lugnutz got outta there when the scene was getting too heavy for him. Decided to spend his days as a road scholar by roaming highways and deserts on Nexus Earth, thinking deep thoughts and jotting down poetry…Course between rounds of blowing things up to stave off boredom, at least it's nowhere by populated areas.

NOTES: An inspired OC from SP1294's Snapdragon OC. The name Lugnutz is base on the character from Transformers Cybertron Anime Series along with his personality. Beast Mode and Robot Mode are based on Catastros and when it transforms into Centaurus Phoenix Megazord while using the weapon and attacks similar to Centaurus Wolf Megazord which all of them are from Power Rangers Mystic Force series.

Name: Clobber

Function: Predacon

Transmutation: Transmetal II

Beast Mode: A Transmetal II Version of a Giant Armadillo. The entire body is made of metallic structure, the theme of the head, legs, underbelly and tail are dark green, black nails and lines within the metal line frames, the shell was purple, and lastly the eye area was like a black visor with glowing red optic eyes.

Robot Mode: Transforms as the animal head sinks into the shell, and the shell shape-shifts to reveal the giant robot body from within. The animal front and rear nails become the front toes and the tail is split to at as shoulder pads. The entire robot body is bulky with a black exoskeleton frame with outer dark green plates on the bootwear, legs, and wrist, the extra heavy shell armor is purple and located around the knee-ankle region, shoulders, and the main body style to resemble a muscular big woman. The gauntlets are style as more protective shells shape like bombs with black two finger claws. Lastly the head is attach to the back portion acting like a shell style hair, the face is entirely a fembot of a big woman bot but has one big optic eye with a cover, the eye is red with a white pupil. Wields a metal mace pole with a split claw covering of armadillo shell plates. The entire appearance is like seeing a muscular giant fembot who's very figure screams a walking destruction.

Arsenal: Shell Power-Mace: Wields a metal mace pole with a split claw cover of armadillo shell plates, meant to deal powerful close melee damage to targets since it weights a ton. Shell-Back Mini-Missiles: Has conceal mini-missiles from the backside to launch forth and deal damage around medium and long range battles.

Ability: Explosive Punch

Ability Info: Converts either hand into an armor bomb with a rocketing elbow thruster. Once the bomb-fist makes contact with anything, bit it ground, structure wall, or even a bot will be dealt with the force of a small bomb explosion. This technique is quite destructive to cause untold damage and take out a group of enemies. Of course while Clobber's body is made of protective stuff, any ally near her when doing this attack can cause a serious blow if nobody steps back or gives room before she does the punch. Another fatal flaw might be if the punch is interrupted by an unexpected hit that may knock the big bot off balance.

Bio: After the Transmetal Drive Accident scatter many Stasis Pods, Clobber popped out of her pod while in her Beast Mode. There she meant up with another like her named Lockdown who felt like they end up in an unlucky situation. They were soon meant up with Lugnutz who was just chilling and relaxing without a worry, being all hip and far out. Wasn't long before the Predacons found their energy signature and address them as apart of their unit. And so they are now members of the Predacons, but pretty much they were considered the bottom of the chain of Megatron's group.

Clobber maybe a huge, intimidating bruiser, capable of withstanding tremendous damage and retaliating with devastating punches when she's not using her Beast Mode to simply roll over the enemy, but this power isn't backed up by any actual malice. Her easygoing personality might explain why she sits somewhere on the lowest rank of the Predacon hierarchy with her best friend Lockdown, and the pair spend most of their downtime discussing their unlucky lot in life.

Although she's sweet, well-meaning, and earnest to a fault, if there's one thing Clobber doesn't have, it's an ability to think for herself: more often than not, she'll simply fall in line behind whoever's barking orders. This might be the only trait holding her back from discovering her full potential, but it would take something truly earth-shattering to push her out of her comfort zone.

Fate: When having learn that she was never an actual Re-programmed into a Predacon, and was actually a Maximal the entire time her case was likely a mistaken identity of who's side she was meant to be on. Afterwards when the war was ending, Clobber wanted to help show that her existence proves that even if she was being a Predacon doesn't necessarily make one a bad person. Clobber would wish to stay on Nexus Earth to try to help Predacons that are done fighting but don't wish to be taken back as prisoners to Cybertron find new meaning in their lives. It's a tall order, but with cooperation with some Maximals and humans alike, it might not be so far-fetch. This act would show Clobber finally making a decision of what she wanted to do rather then follow what others told her to do of what her own goal in life would be.

NOTE: The quiet assassin inspiration for the character came from SP1294's OC Kickstrong. The Robot Mode and character are closely base on Clobber from Transformers Cyberverse but the Beast Mode is base on the Armadillo Wildzord from Power Rangers Wild Force.

He had terrible luck when leaving as the pod blew up and rolled him to a spot with thorns before pulling himself free. But even after having such terrible luck, he did encounter another like him name Clobber even in such an unlucky situation. They were soon meant up with Lugnutz who was just chilling and relaxing without a worry, being all hip and far out. Wasn't long before the Predacons found their energy signature and address them as apart of their unit. And so they are now members of the Predacons, but pretty much they were considered the bottom of the chain of Megatron's group.

Lockdown is pretty much not much an active type of guy, he displays worries about what happens if he fails and pretty much is more a grunt among Megatron's crew. He maybe alright with doing some fights against Maximals, but he feels like he does all the hard work and some other Preds get all the credit. The only times he finds some enjoyment is watching a good battle, and even times he's involved and he feels like he can win. While Lockdown feels like he gets along alright with some Predacons, he views Clobber as his best friend. And when he sees Clobber in trouble, he feels the need to help her out.

Fate: When having been captured by the Maximals near the end of the Beast Wars, the decision was to take him back to Cybertron as a prisoner. But thanks to Clobber who was on the Maximals side, stood up for her friend, and wished that he can remain free on Nexus Earth with her remaining behind too. The reason was to maybe help some Predacons that wish for peace to co-exist with Maximals rather then fight another war. Optimus saw that if such a thing could be possible, then it was allowed with Clobber cooperating with other Maximals handling the scatter Predacons and to hopefully…get those that are done fighting an endless and fruitless war to just live in peace on a new world along with the humans.

NOTE: The brutish thug inspiration for the character came from SP1294's OC Apeface The personality is based on Lockdown from Transformers Cyberverse. The Beast Mode & Robot Mode are base from Carozord and Replicantzord from Power Rangers Dino Thunder series.

Has vivid dark-grey "eyeshadow" around the slanted green cat optics with white pupils. Two long green whiskers protrude from either side of the face. The tail is somewhat hook shaped.

Bio: After the Transmetal Drive accident explosion, a pod was sent crashing near a location that apparently had many leopard cats. Due to the chaotic nature of the Beast Virus, the pod suffered a strange dark energy which caused the entire structure to deconstruct and rust. That's when a new bot appeared but somehow the wild nature of the Beast Virus was absorbed by the destructive nature of the newly awaken bot's ability. The area suffer damage from a power that went wild and scared the leopards away before the bot realized what happen. Coming to realize what power the bot had, it had to use it wisely and left under the dark night of mystery. The only side effect leftover of the Beast Virus made the bot open to a wild side of not letting the bad get him down.

Soon the dub Cat Walker would meet others like him, and display he's flare for being the comical, lovable, flashy type of Maximal to bring the fun in situations and rally up Predacons to get them annoyed at him. But along the way he also meant with the Maximal known as Ladybug, and felt a strange feeling for her. Since then he's join to become apart of Optimus' group to help support them and also to be close to show off his style and skill to impress Ladybug while hoping she'll return his feelings.

Fate: After the war ended, Cat Walker wanted to return to Cybertron but only if Ladybug was going too. So apparently the two lovers would join Optimus and crew on their return to their homeworld.

Note: Personality is based on Cat Noir from Miraculous Ladybug. The Beast Mode is based on Liepard and the Robot Mode is somewhat base around Zeraora from the Pokemon series.

The pod malfunction due to the Beast Virus and caused a fusion of two DNA Scans which gave birth to a Lupine Wolf but with scale armor and spike bone features from an Ankylosaur. While the wolf part was savage, the dino portion was a herbivore, and the two sides cause the Beast Virus effect to subside and faded to bring forth the true persona of the fembot who would call herself Houndour. While on the move came across another newly activated Maximals to find what their purpose is.

Houndour had a function as a Field Operator to contact and provide information regarding others current location, the surrounding enemies and general data that would give those some assistance. Part of her nature is split of being a kind-hearted Maximal who gets along well with others, and usually works on the sidelines. But when in battle she puts aside her kindness and become a more hot-headed soldier with pride. Her talent on both working as a field operator and aiding her comrades from a distance is worthy of her talent to support everyone.

Fate: Decided to remain on Nexus Earth, wishing to provide more aid to the Maximals that remain to help in two fronts. One was to co-exist with the humans. Two was to aid in stopping any remaining rogue Predacons causing trouble.

NOTE: Beast Mode is base on a Zinogre from Monster Hunter series but more Transmetal II in appearance. The Robot Mode is based on Zinogre Iris from Mega Man X Dive series. The name Houndour is related to a Pokemon with the same name. Her personality can be a cross between Iris and Iris-another- from the Mega Man X series. Originally this was suppose to be a fox but decided to upgrade it with something closer to match the original Hound name while also updating it to it's current state.

But as luck would have it, other newly active Maximals discovered a giant metallic dino resting in a cave, and one of them had the ability to heal the virus and thus gave the bot in question freedom.

Grindcore demonstrates the feats of being a big and powerful wild card among the Maximals, though he can be reckless with his impulsive behavior. Sometimes that may get him into trouble especially if he bites off more then he can chew. Fortunately, he's tough and tenacious enough to fight his way right back out again. But although his raw strength is enough to overcome most problems, he does have to consider the sake of others that end up in the crossfire.

Fate: After the war was over, the thought of returning to Cybertron did cross his mind. But feels that with all the loose Predacons running freely, until they are all caught Grindcore will aid in handling the protection of Nexus Earth along with other Maximals deciding to remain.

NOTE: The Beast Mode & Robot Mode are base on the Quantasaurus Rex & Q-Rex Megazord Mode. The personality is based on Eric Myers the Quantum Ranger from Power Rangers Time Force. Originally meant to have the personality of Grimlock from Transfomrers RIB (2015)

Name: Nightshade

Function: Maximal

Transformation: Transmetal II

Beast Mode: A Transmetal II Version of a Northern Hawk Owl. The entire body is metallic in very dark green and teal theme and his optics are green-yellow optics with white pupils.

Robot Mode: Transforms the body to create a silver exoskeleton frame, deploy robot legs and arms from the body and the wings convert into an 'M' shape on the back. The body armor has the same very dark green and teal theme with a more owl feature style. The physical body is skinny and the armor apparently is a light base substance. The head that pops out has a 'V' upward helmet matching an owl theme, and the liquid grey face resembles a young man with green-yellow optics with white pupils.

Weapons: Talon Duel Blasters: Pulls out twin blasters to perform fast damage count to targets near or from a certain distance. Wing Blades: Using the wings on the back can extend for shielding defensive or be used to slice targets during flight battles.

Ability: Kinetic Gale Energy

Ability Info: Channels green energy through the wings and release it a wave through the wings. The energy can disable targets, can also act as a scatter beam to hit multiple targets or unleash two larger waves for greater damage results. Another effect is channeling the energy but release it by the wave of the wings or speed force to create either a gale burst or an energy cyclone.

Bio: After the events of the Transmetal Drive accident, a pod landed near the woods where it interrupted the hunt of a Northern Hawk Owl. The DNA Scan provided a Beast Mode but the Beast Virus effect was so small it hardly effected the bot. Thus came Nightshade who's curiosity of wonder allowed him to explore before meeting other newly activated bots as himself to find their place.

Nightshade is considered a young Inventor as his function, tinkering away on new gadgets and quietly reading of science fiction pleases the bot more than the more active games other choose for entertainment. But when necessary, he can take to the shadows to dole out justice in service of other citizens who need protection. He is still curious of things he yet understands, but in due time he may come to learn about them while knowing what it means to have friends.

Fate: After the war, decided to stay on Nexus Earth. While returning to Cybertron sounds great of where he originated from, he's found a place on Earth to continue to explore the unknown wonders the planet has yet to show him.

NOTE: The Beast Mode and Robot Mode are the same as Nightshade from Transformers: Earthspark, as well as the personality.

At long last, this original chapter is finished, it was tough but got it done, and now we can move onto seeing the next episode event.

And so they 'acquire' the man labor by kidnapping those from the Maximal side they have befriended including a female Protohuman named Una. Now a rescue mission is underway with Rattrap in charge but what happens when the rat leading his own pack against a whole mountain top filled with enemies seems too much to handle. Can the good guys rescue the captives and escape before the Maximals may lose this war? Best stay tune to find out…
