Later, at a Maximal power plant, "Scorponok" is planting time-bombs, but is interrupted by a security guard. The guard is interrupted by Backslash, who stabs the guard from behind with an energon blade, then admonishes Scorponok's sloppiness. At the Maximal archives, Megatron, "Dinobot" and Dirge wait on the rooftops for the reports from the other two teams. At Predacon Transwarp Research Center D-F, "Terrorsaur", "Waspinator" and Buzzbomb bust in and completely shoot up the joint in order to secure a getaway ship.
