| - Upon the landing of each stasis pod, the Maximals and Predacons would both rush to the scene in hopes of recruiting the protoform inside to their team. The protoforms were Maximals by default, but the Predacons were able to turn some by implanting shell programs before waking the protoform up. Blackarachnia and Inferno joined the Predacons through this scheme, but Quickstrike was not directly reprogrammed- although his command code was changed by remote while his security programming was deactivated due to damage his pod sustained during landing-, Rampage only joined due to him being tortured into submission, and Dinobot II was a clone of the original Dinobot created specifically to be a Predacon. Rhinox's brief stint as a Predacon was not explicitly explained, but may have also been the result of a shell program. Double Jeopardy Dark Designs Spider's Game Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1 Bad Spark Feral Scream, Part 1 Eventually, despite her shell program, Blackarachnia decided to side with the Maximals, although she ws still motivated primarily by self-interest rather than Maximal altruism. When hidden code in her shell program began to threaten her life, the Maximals attempted to remove it entirely, a procedure which was very dangerous for her. Rhinox then conducted a strange kind of virtual, video game-style "search and destroy" mission within Blackarachnia to accomplish this. Sadly, a safeguard that Tarantulas included in the program terminated her before Rhinox could finish the removal (She was then revived "magically" by the Transmetal driver completing her original attempt to use it to upgrade herself, triggering a mutation that incorporated fragments of the shell program while making her more fundamentally Maximal).

What he DIDN'T do, however, is question what an Autobot counter-intelligence agent was doing sneaking around Decepticon camp just then. Megatron had to force Bombshell to think at gunpoint before he realized that Megatron wouldn't rob them while Optimus Prime and the Autobots still lived. Maybe after, but not before. The united 'Cons then attempted to set a trap for the Autobots using Mirage, but ultimately Mirage was set free and the electro-cells were destroyed.
