| - The Maximals use their tools to garden, trimming the wild bean vines that have grown around the Maximal base and, as Dinobot explains, could be exploited by the Predacons. The scene quickly turns into a fight when Rattrap golfs a fore in Dinobot's rear, sending him falling over and incensing him into beating him up for that.

He comes down the elevator with his Chainguns of Doom ablaze and commands the two to get inside, but they are too busy arguing to obey.

| - The Maximals use their tools to garden, trimming the wild bean vines that have grown around the Maximal base and, as Dinobot explains, could be exploited by the Predacons. The scene quickly turns into a fight when Rattrap golfs a fore in Dinobot's rear, sending him falling over and incensing him into beating him up for that. Inside, Rhinox detects Predacons coming to attack, but can't activate the Sentinel shields because of the pair outside. He comes down the elevator with his Chainguns of Doom ablaze and commands the two to get inside, but they are too busy arguing to obey. Trying to cover his teammates' withdrawal, he is hit by a strange weapon from Tarantulas, who Dinobot blasts several times, ala a skipping stone, far, far away, and with the crucial shot fired, the Predacons retreat. Inside, the Axalon's computer reports on the strange effect the device had on Rhinox, giving him a disease that causes him to "spontaneously discharge energy." Rhinox demonstrates this by hiccuping energy beams around the base, causing much collateral damage, after he sneezes, which is demonstrated by powerfully sneezing the CR Chanber to pieces. It's decided a counter-virus must be found and fast. Rattrap and Dinobot attempt to trail the injured Tarantulas. The two get into an argument about who is to blame for Rhinox's contamination with the virus, which quickly degenerates into name-calling. Aboard the Axalon, as Cheetor listens in the duo's verbal beast war amongst themselves, Optimus reveals to Cheetor that he paired Dinobot and Rattrap together so they could either learn to work together or destroy each other, right now having no care which happens first. Rhinox is meanwhile kept on a life support system which drains energy from the rest of the (now heavily damaged) Maximal base. Eventually forgetting why they started the argument, the two follow Tarantulas's scent. Giving chase after a glimpse of him, after he legs it from his hiding place upon being found, they fall though a hole and onto a long slide—with a heavy boulder close behind them. But after they land at the bottom of the slide, the boulder actually hits the devilish spider himself, knocking him out silly. Rattrap and Dinobot continue the bickering session as they search through the underground caverns for his lab, dragging him with them in hopes he might give them an answer when he wakes up. Back at the Predacon base, Megatron sends his own forces to reclaim Tarantulas so more of the virus can be developed to use on the rest of the Maximals. They head to his laboratory to see if they can locate the missing arachnid there. On Tarantulas's security sensors, Blackarachnia notices the two wandering Maximals making their way through the caverns towards the hideout. Primal rallies his available soldiers for action against the Predacons to seize the antidote to Rhinox's ailment forcibly. Rhinox attempts to come along with the others, but Primal orders his friend to stay behind and consume some food to help stabilize his systems; naturally, the first visual option on Rhinox's menu happens to be the wild beans conveniently surrounding the Axalon. After all, since they need to be cleared out, why not kill two birds with one stone. Back in Tarantulas's lair, Blackarachnia discovers where Tarantulas stored the counter-virus. When Scorponok detects the Maximal duo getting closer, the Preds open fire, wildly hoping to hit something, but instead just ruin any chance they have of ambushing their targets. Dinobot tries to use Tarantulas as a hostage, but this tactic doesn't work on Megatron, who has no reservations about abusing his own soldiers. However, the distraction has bought Rattrap (who was supposed to be covering Dinobot) the time to sneak through some tubes to arrive behind the Predacons, leaving him close enough to disarm them quickly. A nasal energon-expulsion from Rhinox provides a hole for the other Maximals to enter the chamber once they finish posing heroically. Megatron mentions that he alone has the counter-virus that could save Rhinox. However, Megs is not going to come quitely as he orders the Maximals to Transform and surrender if he is going to give the virus. But then Rhinox fires off an incredible energon fart (visible from space; Megatron, on a side note, happens to be the perfect target that Rhinox will aim for) that blows the Predacons far away, giving the Maximals the chance to grab the counter-virus and cure Rhinox. Rattrap and Dinobot still bicker like kids, though; it's obvious that this is how they would work together, as a comedy duo. We then see the aftermath of the no. 2: the Predacons lying dizzy and scattered around and on a tree, most of them are gassed out. Megatron lies there; "This is certainly the most humiliating defeat of my entire career... Yeeeeesssssss..."
