Chapter 1: More Than Meets The Eye!
Eons ago, a species of robots who could think and feel like humanity had existed. They were known as Cybertronians. Harnessing the power to transform into either vehicles or animals, the Cybertronians were either affiliated into one of two separate factions, Autobots & Decepticons, or Maximals & Predacons. The Autobots and Maximals fought for the sake of truth, justice, and peace, and were on the side of good, whereas the Predacons and Decepticons fought for the sake of tyranny and conquest, and were evil. The two factions waged war on both Earth and Cybertron. One day, Galavar, a Predacon who was a direct descendant of the Decepticon leader, Megatron, who took on the namesake of his ancestor, had used a virus to steal the Sparks from the people of Cybertron. However, a lone Maximal known as Optimus Primal, the direct descendant of the Autobot leader, Orion Pax, AKA Optimus Prime, had sacrificed his life to save his fellow Cybertronians. Optimus' Spark was still around, but no longer needed. As for the megalomanium in Megatron's Spark? It was gone for good.
We now turn to a new chapter in history's books.
Location: Witwicky, Pennsylvania
Date: April 24th, 202X
It shows a young man of about 15 or 16 years old, who had dark-auburn hair and apple-green eyes with fair skin, wearing a t-shirt that had Kamen Rider Ryuki Survive's emblem on it, blue-gray street jeans, and red sneakers doing his morning routine. This was Edward Jackson, a young man who was born in the state of Pennsylvania. Edward was born with Asperger's Syndrome, and was in the special-needs section of his local high-school. He had a few friends, such as Ewan Hayes, Sam Clark, Kyle Young, Josh Campbell, Nicole McKnight, Amber Bradley, Kate Nicholson, Summer Kennedy, and Alice Gardner. Edward was raised by his relatives, following the day his parents died in a plane explosion on their honeymoon to Hawaii. He balanced high-school with his social life, and helping out at his family's bodega. He was currently doing some exercise by doing some push-ups, sit-ups, and squats.
"Today is gonna be a pretty good day." said Edward, sounding like Shinjiro Hayata. He then went downstairs to eat breakfast, which was cinnamon-roll pancakes with turkey bacon and scrambled eggs. Two of his relatives were his older brother, Ryan, and his sister, Kelsey, as well as their uncle, Eugene, and their grandfather, Darren.
"Mornin' kiddo." said Darren, smiling at his grandson.
"Hey, Grandpa." said Edward, with a smile on his face. "How goes it?"
"Well, a lot has been going on in the bodega." said Darren, admittedly. "There was this "Karen" who accused someone of cutting the line, but I kicked her out, and banned her."
"Yeah, Karens are what's wrong with this world." said Edward, as he bit into his breakfast. "Entitled people give me a migrane."
"Amen to that, kiddo." said Eugene. Once everyone finished their breakfasts, Edward got into a jacket.
"Seeya, guys!" said Edward, as he headed out the door.
Meanwhile, we see two ships entering Earth's orbit, engaged in a major dogfight. We see a group of figures aboard one of the ships.
"Shields are doing a major fade!" said a voice similar to Casey Rhodes, the Jungle Fury Red Ranger.
"Oh man, this is absolutely ridiculous!" said a voice similar to Blitzo from Helluva Boss. "We're a research ship, not a combat vessel!"
"We have no other options!" said a voice similar to professional wrestler and entertainer, John Cena. "Our ship was the only one that could track Levatron's warp signature!"
Aboard the other ship, we see various other figures aboard it.
"Their shields are down, Lord Levatron." said one of the figures, who was yellow-and-black in color. "Permission to destroy them?"
"Now, where is the fun in that?" said the lead figure, Levatron, sounding like King Andrias Leviathan. "A little torture, I think first? Yesssss….. FIRE THE SIDE GUNS!"
"With gusto, milord!" said a voice similar to Kai Chisaki, AKA Overhaul, as the Nightmare fired at the Maximal ship, the Vanguard, until it blew the ships engines out.
"SCRAP! OUR ENGINES ARE KAPUT!" yelped a voice. "WE'RE GOING DOWN!"
"We have to make an emergency landing!" said a voice similar to Terry McGinnis/Batman from Batman Beyond.
"Everyone brace for impact!" said the lead voice, as the Vanguard made an emergency landing, with the Nightmare tailing them.
It shows Edward with his friends, Ewan, Sam, Kyle, Josh, Nicole, Amber, Kate, Alice, and Summer. Ewan had golden-blonde hair and dark-cyan eyes, and wore a red and blue letterman jacket over a Superman t-shirt, blue street jeans, and red sneakers. Sam was an Asian-American young man of South Korean descent, having an Asian skin-tone, black hair, and blue-gray eyes, and he wore a t-shirt with Kamen Rider Kuuga's emblem on it, gray sweat-pants, and green sneakers. Kyle was of African-American descent, having dark-brown skin, black hair, and amber eyes, and wore a red and brown letterman jacket over a red t-shirt, gray jeans, and black sneakers. Josh had brown hair, green eyes, and wore a red shirt, gray jeans, and blue sneakers. Nicole had golden-blonde hair and cyan eyes, and wore a t-shirt themed after Sailor Moon, a mini-skirt, stockings, and ballet-flats. Amber was a girl of Chickasaw descent, and had light-brown skin, black hair, and dark-auburn eyes. She wore a jean-jacket over a red shirt, gray jeans, and black sneakers. Kate was a tomboyish-looking girl who had dark-auburn hair, dark-auburn eyes, and wore a fake-leather biker's jacket, gray street-jeans, heeled boots, and fingerless gloves. Alice was a European-American girl of Ukrainian descent, having platinum-blonde hair and dark-cyan eyes, and she wore a white t-shirt with a magenta-colored skirt, and purple ballet-flats. Summer was a girl who had golden-blonde hair and apple-green eyes, and wore a rainbow-colored shirt, a violet skirt, and pink ballet-flats.
"Hey, guys. How's everything going?" said Edward, wondering how his friends are doing.
"We're doing OK, Ed." said Nicole, with a small smile. "Thanks for asking."
"No problem." said Edward, smiling at his friends.
Meanwhile, back at the planet of Cybertron, we see the Tripredacus Council getting a holo-transmission from Levatron.
"Like my predecessor, and his namesake, I will be the one who will lead our people to the glory that the three of you had pined for, but lacked the strength to seize. If this Golden Disk contains half of what I believe is true, then our victory is assured. Yesssss…." said Levatron. "Our rise is at hand. When the next time we meet comes, you'll thank me. And then: you will bow before me." he then ended the transmission, with one of the councilmen looking ready to punch someone's lights out.
"He speaks the truth. There has already been an attack on the Great Shipyard." said Councilman 1, looking at his datapad. "Nearly every Transwarp-capable ship has been completely destroyed."
"THAT INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE SPECK OF DIRT THINKS THAT WE WILL BOW TO HIM!?" said the second councilman, as he banged his fist on the table. "TO HIM, OF ALL BOTS!?" He then banged his fist a second time, hard enough to leave a crack on the table.
"Be calm, gentlemen. Levatron's initiative may prove worthy to our cause, but he lacks the temperance to truly lead the Predacons to victory." said a third councilman, matter-of-factly. "He has never been one to play the Waiting Game."
"But, we see what's right in front of us, gentlemen." said the first councilman, with a smirk, "Which is why we'll be there to take advantage of Levatron's success. Or, his failure."
Meanwhile, back on Earth, we see the Nightmare, and the interior of the craft, which was dark.
"ENERGON LEVELS ARE TOO POTENT. PROLONGED EXPOSURE IN PRIMARY MODE WILL RESULT IN STASIS-LOCK AND EVENTUAL TERMINATION OF SPARK." said the ship's onboard computer, Teletraan-1 "TECHNO-ORGANIC CASING IS NEEDED AS A MEANS TO PREVENT ENERGON POISONING."
"So, this is Earth." said a voice similar to Hun from the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. This voice belonged to one of Levatron's henchmen, Riprager. Riprager's beast-mode was a Megalania, an extinct species of monitor-lizard from the Cenozoic era.
"What manner of planet is this, Lord Levatron?" said a voice similar to how Dr. Octopus sounded in the Insomniac Marvel universe. This voice belonged to Arachnitron, the chief mad-scientist of Levatron's faction of Predacons. His beast mode was a black tarantula. A purple, white and black colored western-style dragon emerged from the shadows, its eyes glowing a fiery red. The dragon was Levatron, who had scanned a mythical creature for his beast mode.
"Before we had acquired the Golden Disk, the Science Ministry back on Cybertron had decoded a single file. One that disclosed the location of a planet that was exceedingly rich in Energon. Yessssss….." said Levatron, as he then converted into robot mode. "Ahh, and now I can see that this is true, which means that whatever else that is on the disk will also be true."
"With just the raw Energon on this worthless rock of a planet, we'll be more than capable of overthrowing Maximal Command back on Cybertron." said Arachnitron. "And there's more on the disk? We'll be unstoppable!" he cackled maniacally.
"Precisely. Yessssss…." said Levatron, as he then exited the Nightmare. "This planet is exceedingly rich in Energon, and it will all belong to us. But, before we can deal with the Maximals back on Cybertron, we must first deal with the ones who have followed us here, and caused us to crash. We've survived the crash, and until I have seen their corpses with my own eyes, there is a possibility they have arrived here as well." more of Levatron's forces exited the Nightmare. "We have enemies here, on this little planet. Enemies that we shall eliminate with extreme prejudice." a sadistic smile spread across Levatron's face. "A new war has begun, my friends. And this time, it is ours to WIN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" With that, Levatron erupted into diabolical laughter.
Meanwhile, Edward and his friends were doing a nature-hike through the state forest in Witwicky, until they saw the Vanguard.
"What the heck is that?" Sam gasped, sounding like Koichi Hirose mixed with Tanjiro Kamado.
"Is that…an alien spacecraft?" Nicole wondered. Suddenly, the hull-door opened, and an actual Indominus rex emerged from the craft.
"Holy cow! Is that the Indominus Rex from the first Jurassic World movie!?" Kyle blurted out, eyes wide.
"Lewamus Primal, Maximize!" said the Indominus Rex, as it then converted into a humanoid robot that had a gray, red, green, purple and black color-scheme. Lewamus' face-shield then opened, revealing his facial-features.
"Calm down, denizens of Earth. I mean no harm." said Lewamus, with a reassuring smile on his face.
"Who're you?" Summer asked, with a curious look on her face.
"I am Lewamus Primal, a denizen of the planet Cybertron." said Lewamus, introducing himself. Edward and his friends then followed Lewamus inside the Vanguard.
However, the group was being spied-on by Levatron's personal spy and assassin, Terrordactyl. Terrordactyl was spying on the group through the scope of his sniper-rifle. He then got a call from Levatron.
"Report, Terrordactyl." said Levatron's voice at the other-end.
"Lord Levatron, the Maximals have survived their descent to Earth." said Terrordactyl, sounding like how The Joker did in the DC Animated Universe, but with a Victorian English accented voice. "Permission to exterminate them?"
"Not just yet. Report back to the ship, immediately." said Levatron.
"As you command, milord." said Terrordactyl, as he then holstered his sniper-rifle, and converted into his beast mode. Terrordactyl's beast mode was a Dimorphodon.
Later, Edward and his friends arrived inside of the Vanguard, where they saw a Barbary lion, a dire wolf, a wooly rhinoceros, a giant short-faced bear, a Caspian tiger, a Desmodus draculae, a Mexican red-kneed tarantula, a Titanoboa, an Apatosaurus, an Andean condor, an ursagryph, a feathered Velociraptor, a black panther, a mountain gorilla, a serval, a Bengal tiger with the wings of a vampire bat, a Deinonychus, a manta ray, a stingray, an orca, a longhorn bison, a liger, a great maned wolf with bat-wings, an orange South China tiger with the wings of a Night Fury, a Night Light in it's Titan Wing stage, a hellhound, a Tasmanian devil, a great horned owl, a chimera, a bald eagle, an Alphadon, and a snow leopard with the wings of a snowy owl.
"Everyone, I'd like you to meet Skywatch Squadron." said Lewamus, introducing Edward and his friends to his squadron.
"MAXIMIZE!" said the other animals, as they converted into robots.
"Hello there. My name is Venomica, I'm the combat medic." said the Maximal who became a tarantula.
"My name is Serpentia, the psy-op of the unit." said the Maximal who transformed into a Titanoboa, she had a humanoid upper-body and a serpentine lower-body.
"My name is Titannica." said the female Maximal who became an Apatosaurus. She had a heavyset appearance due to a majority of her body being made of a squishy polymer, making her appear obese.
"My name is Steelmane." said the Maximal who became a Barbary lion, sounding like how Simba does in The Lion Guard.
"I'm Echo." said the Maximal who became a Desmodus draculae.
"My name is Darkstalker." said the Maximal who transformed into a black panther, bowing like a ninja.
"I'm Skybolt. It's a pleasure to meet you." said the Maximal who became a bald eagle.
"My name's Stampede. I'm the heavy-weapons specialist of the squadron." said the Maximal who transformed into a wooly rhinoceros.
"I'm Ursa-Maxus, and I'm the muscle." said the Maximal who transformed into an Arctodus simus.
"My name is Wildside. It's a pleasure to meet you." said the Maximal who transformed into an orange-colored Caspian tiger.
"My name is Ligerstryke." said the Maximal who became a liger.
"I'm Chargehorn." said the Maximal who became a longhorn bison.
"The name's Rodentron." said the Maximal who transformed into an Alphadon.
"My name is Razorwolf." said the Maximal who transformed into a dire wolf, sounding like Legoshi from BEASTARS.
"I'm Claw." said the Maximal who transformed into a serval.
"My name is Scout." said the Maximal who transformed into a velociraptor.
"My name is Solarmax." said the Maximal who became the tiger/bat hybrid.
"I'm Solarmax's brother, my name is Skyclaw." said the Maximal who transformed into a tiger/Night Fury hybrid.
"My name is Darkstreak." said the Maximal who became a Deinonychus. "The big guy is Blockbuster." he pointed to the Maximal who became an Ankylosaurus.
"My name is Headhunter." said the Maximal who became a condor.
"I'm his brother, Roughcase." said the Maximal who transformed into an ursagryph.
"I'm Whirlpool, and this is Deepdive." said the Maximal who became a manta-ray.
"Hello there." said the Maximal who became a stingray.
"My name is Splashdown." said the Maximal who transformed into an orca.
"My name is War-Kong." said the Maximal who transformed into a mountain gorilla.
"My name is Spacecrawler." said the Maximal who transformed into a Tasmanian devil.
"I'm Nitewatcher." said the Maximal who became a hellhound.
"My name is Solaris Massima." said the female Maximal who became a chimera.
"My name is Stormblaze." said the Maximal who became a fusion of a great maned wolf and a megabat.
"I'm Trailblazer." said the Maximal who became a Titan Wing Night Light.
"I'm Airstrike." said the Maximal who became a snow leopard with owl wings.
"And I'm Nocturne." said the Maximal who transformed into a great horned owl.
"We're Maximum Animalistic organisms who hail from the planet Cybertron," said Stampede, "But, you guys can call us "Maximals" for short."
"Maximals? So you guys aren't Autobots?" said Edward, stunned by this news.
"Well, no. The Autobots were our ancestors who have fought against the Decepticons on Earth, and saved both Earth and Cybertron." said Nocturne.
"My name is Edward Jackson." said Edward, introducing himself. "These are my friends, Ewan Hayes, Sam Clark, Kyle Young, Josh Campbell, Amber Bradley, Summer Kennedy, Alice Gardner, Kate Nicholson, and Nicole McKnight."
"It's a pleasure to meet you all." said Lewamus, with a small smile on his face.
Meanwhile, back aboard the Nightmare, we see that the rest of Levatron's forces have alt-modes, with Riptide, the marine commander, having scanned a great white shark, while Darktalon had scanned a raven, Sledgestrike had scanned a hammerhead shark, Warframe had scanned a Perrin's cave beetle, Deepclash had scanned a Titan-Wing Deathgripper, Pincer had scanned a bulldog ant, Stingraider had scanned an Asian giant hornet, Toxinator had scanned a Pulminoscorpius kirktonensis, Bite-Off had scanned an American alligator, Vice-Grip had scanned a king crab, Slasher had scanned a praying mantis, Havoc had scanned a Borhyaena, Phantom had scanned a Jacobson's chameleon, Backlash had scanned a lion, bat and scorpion to make a manticore beast mode, and Razorblade had scanned a Spinosaurus.
"LEVATRON IS A WEAK, PATHETIC FOOL!" said Riptide, sounding like Alucard from Hellsing. "Only I, the great Riptide, truly has what it takes to lead the Predacons to victory!"
"Yeah, by running the entirety of the army into the damned ground." said Darktalon, with a scowl.
"Mind your tongue, you worthless pleb!" said Backlash, as he glared at Riptide. "Lord Levatron is wise! Lord Levatron is bold! Lord Levatron shall be the only one to lead the Predacons to victory! NOT YOU!" Backlash's main characteristic-trait was his unwavering loyalty to Levatron and the Predacon cause.
"Big talk, coming from a brainless yes-man," said Riptide, scowling at Backlash.
"At least I'M not Levatron's bitch, unlike you." said Phantom, sounding like Hades does in the Disney film, Hercules, knowing that Levatron oftentimes uses Riptide as his own personal punching-bag whenever Riptide's attempts at usurpation go wrong.
"EXCUSE ME?!" Riptide bellowed, as he looked ready to strangle Phantom to death with his bare hands. "I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT LEVATRON'S BITCH!"
"Yeah, you are. The only reason Lord Levatron keeps your sorry hide alive is because he loves watching you fail at every attempt to overthrow him." said Warframe. This prompted some of the other arthropod Predacons to snicker at this.
"RRRRRGGGGHHHH….! WHY, YOU…LITTLE….!" Riptide growled, as he was about to punch the lights out of Warframe's optics, until his arm was grabbed.
"Ahem." said a voice, as Levatron arrived.
"Lord Levatron. I live to serve." said Backlash, kneeling before his master.
'Damned suckup. Why don't you just fracking marry the guy? Jeez…' Riptide grumbled in his mind, agitated. "Hello, milord."
"Save your pleasantries, Riptide." said Levatron, glaring at his marine-commander. Riptide scowled, and grumbled obscenities underneath his breath. This prompted Levatron to bop him on the head with his mace.
"MIND YOUR LANGUAGE!" Levatron snapped in a strict tone-of-voice. "I most certainly will not tolerate any kind of profanity aboard this ship!"
"Y-Y-Yessir, Lord Levatron, sir." said Riptide, nervously.
"Lord Levatron, look at this!" said Stingraider, sounding like Fizzarolli from Helluva Boss mixed with Beetlejuice from the Broadway musical of the same name, as he showed a large ruby-red crystalline formation.
"Is that…Red Energon?" Pincer gasped, eyes wide.
"By Solus Prime… It is Red Energon!" said Razorblade, sounding like Sideshow Bob.
"Red Energon, in a crystallized state. Yessss…." said Levatron, with a devious smirk. "Let's claim it, and gain hyperspeed!"
Later, it showed Razorwolf explaining Cybertronian anatomy to Edward and co.
"Now, see this conduit in my chest?" said Razorwolf. "This cog-like component is known as a Transformation Cog, or "T-Cog" for short. Without it, I would be unable to convert into my beast mode." Razorwolf then converted into his beast mode, and howled into the skies.
"What the heck?" Josh blurted out, eyes wide.
"Now, my beast mode is a dire wolf, an extinct species of wolf from your planet's Cenozoic Era." said Razorwolf, as he explained. "There have been instances of Maximals and Predacons scanning two or more animals and combining them for their alt-mode. We call them "Fuzors"."
"That explains why Skyclaw is a tiger with the wings of a Night Fury, Solarmax is a tiger with the wings of a bat, why Stormblaze is a great maned wolf with bat wings, and why Airstrike is a snow leopard with the wings of a snowy owl." said Summer. "My guess is that Solaris scanned a lioness, a bison, a shark, and a cobra for her chimera beast mode, and that Roughcase scanned an eagle, a bear, and a lizard for his ursagryph beast mode."
"That's correct." said Razorwolf, confirming this. "Now, all I have to do in order to change back into my primary mode is say: "RAZORWOLF, MAXIMIZE"!" with that, Razorwolf then converted back into robot mode.
"Awesome-sauce!" said Nicole, as the tomboyish girl grinned like a tomboyish Shonen anime and manga heroine.
"Guys, you might wanna see this." said Rodentron, as she noticed Stingraider, Toxinator, Warframe, Riprager, Pincer, Terrordactyl, Deepclash, and Backlash arriving at a cliffside and finding a large crystal formation of Red Energon.
"Oh, scrap. Those Predacreeps found Red Energon here on this planet!" said Wildside, shocked and annoyed.
"Energon? Wassat?" said Kyle, with a curious look.
"Energon is a natural resource from our home planet of Cybertron. It fuels our bodies and powers our weapons." Lewamus explained. "Red Energon is the most volatile form of Energon, and when refined into fuel, it can boost the user's speed and strength."
With that, Lewamus, alongside Steelmane, Echo, Stampede, War-Kong, Roughcase, Darkstreak, Skyclaw, and Titannica converted into their beast modes, and headed out the door.
"Holy schnikes! Red Energon, here on this planet!" said Toxinator, amazed. Stingraider looked to be crying tears of joy.
"It brings a tear of joy to your eye, ya know?" said Stingraider, as he sniffled.
"Let's get to mining this thing." said Warframe. As the mining machine started to work, the group of Predacons looked to see Lewamus arrive with Echo, War-Kong, Stampede, Titannica, Roughcase, Darkstreak, Skyclaw, and Steelmane.
"Sorry, Predacreeps, but we're not letting Levatron get his greasy talons on that Red Energon!" said Steelmane.
"Dammit! The Maximals are here!" said Toxinator. "We're not letting you stop us!"
"TOXINATOR, TERRORIZE!"
"TERRORDACTYL, TERRORIZE!"
"DEEPCLASH, TERRORIZE!"
"STINGRAIDER, TERRORIZE!"
"BACKLASH, TERRORIZE!"
"WARFRAME, TERRORIZE!"
"PINCER, TERRORIZE!"
"RIPRAGER, TERRORIZE!"
With that, the eight Predacons then converted into their robot modes, with their weapons on-hand.
"LEWAMUS PRIMAL, MAXIMIZE!"
"STAMPEDE, MAXIMIZE!"
"STEELMANE, MAXIMIZE!"
"TITANNICA, MAXIMIZE!"
"ECHO, MAXIMIZE!"
"ROUGHCASE, MAXIMIZE!"
"DARKSTREAK, MAXIMIZE!"
"SKYCLAW, MAXIMIZE!"
With that, Lewamus and some of the Skywatch Squadron members he brought with him entered their robot modes, weapons drawn. Lewamus drew his sword, and slashed at Warframe, while Skyclaw evaded shots from Terrordactyl's sniper-rifle, Toxinator shot at Titannica with his forearm-mounted gatling guns, Echo fired his sonic-disruptor blasters at Riprager, Darkstreak shot at Deepclash, Roughcase was fighting Backlash in hand-to-hand combat. As soon as Toxinator's tail jabbed into Titannica's gut, his optics widened in alarm.
"Uhhhh…where are your innards…?" Toxinator wondered, before Titannica jumped into the air. "Ohhhh…. crumbs." he gulped, as Titannica then flattened Toxinator underneath her bottom. Stampede then whipped out one of his dual thermal chainguns, and fired at Stingraider, riddling the hornet Predacon full of holes and shooting some of his limbs off. Stingraider started to recover due to having Junkion genetics, which allowed him to reassemble himself no matter how many times he's been blown to scrap.
"As the old saying goes: If you want something done right…. do it yourself." said a voice, as Levatron arrived in beast mode. Lewamus drew his sword, as Levatron then converted into robot mode and drew his sword, and the two then fought in an intense sword-duel
"YOU GOT THIS ONE, BOSS-BOT!" said Steelmane, cheering for his leader.
"Kick his ass, Lewamus!" said Stampede, wanting Lewamus to win.
"Once me and my forces are done mining every last ounce of Energon from this world, we're going to cement our victory by BLOWING EARTH OFF THE GALACTIC MAP, WITH YOU, YOUR SQUADRON, AND EVERY SINGLE EARTHLING HERE!" said Levatron.
"Me and my squadron WON'T let that happen!" said Lewamus, with a determined look under his face-shield, as he then aimed his ion-blaster at the Red Energon formation. Levatron's eyes widened.
"A-Are you insane!? Do you have even the slightest idea of how volatile Red Energon even is!? You'll end up blowing all of us to high Hades!" said Levatron, shocked.
"It's a risk I'm willing to take, in order to defeat you!" said Lewamus, as he then headbutted Levatron in the face, and shot the Red Energon. "EVERYONE, RUN!" Lewamus exclaimed, as he, Stampede, Steelmane, Roughcase, Darkstreak, Echo, Titannica, and Skyclaw converted back to Beast Mode, and escaped.
"CURSE YOU, LEWAMUS PRIMAL!" Levatron bellowed, as he shook his fist in retribution before the Red Energon then exploded, sending Levatron, Terrordactyl, Stingraider, Backlash, Riprager, Deepclash, Warframe, Toxinator, and Pincer flying.
Later, back aboard the Vanguard, it shows the Maximals with their Human allies.
"This planet is in peril, as long as the Predacons are on there." said Wildside, with a serious look on his face.
"And it'll be up to us to make sure that the Energon doesn't end up in Levatron's clutches." said Trailblazer.
"For now, let the battle be here, on Earth." said Lewamus, with a serious look on his face. "Maximals VS. Predacons. And let it be called: BEAST WARS!"
(End of Chapter 1)
