"Don't listen to him!" Terrorsaur screeched.

"Aww, he's afraid Megatron would blast him so he tried to shut out his partner plan. So adorable." Breakdown taunted.

"When I slagged you an' bug-eyes, he was watchin' and smirkin'." Rhinox pressed, causing suspicions on Terrorsaur to raise.

"That... that's a lie!" (Arcee: Says the one who's lying.)

Megatron shook his head at the sight of incompetence; he hated doing everything himself. (Predaking: Get used to it, you coward.)

"Then how come you're lookin' so shifty, all of a sudden?"

"I'm not..."

Seeing Terrorsaur's continuous denial, he jumped over Rhinox and lands in front of Terrorsaur.

"He's a smirker! Mangle!" Scorponok headbutted Terrorsaur, causing infighting again as Terrorsaur monkey kicks Scorponok in retaliation.

Megatron remembered too greatly how the infighting amongst his Decepticons caused him more sensory pains. Onslaught just face palmed again.

Soundwave shook his head while Shockwave rolled his optic.

"No -- idiots! He's the enemy!" Megatron tried to redirect them to Rhinox, but the latter grabbed both Scorponok and Terrorsaur, then slammed both together like toy dolls, and tossed them down with a taunting wave. He then pulls out his chaingun of doom and fired a barrage at Megatron, weakening him by the legs.

"KA-BLAM! Right in the leg servos, Rhinox!" Warpath commented. (AN: If you're gonna ask, I am gonna give Warpath the personality of Nora Valkyrie because it's based on this fanfic "The Worlds of Arc", and I found it fitting that Warpath take on the role of Team JNPR's bomber gal.)

"Really, Warpath?" Bulkhead asked "While he's one of them?"

"Hey Bulkie, sabotaging the Preds don't mean he's one of them."

"Warpath's got a point. He technically doesn't follow them on purpose." Ratchet said.

"Aww, thanks a bunch, Ratch!" Warpath replied to the medic.

"Well, whaddaya know? I win. Reprogrammin' me was the worst mistake you ever made." Megatron managed to get up, just barely, prompting Rhinox to continue his banter "'Cause now that I'm a Predacon, I'm just a little too crafty for you."

"Yess. I... see this now." Megatron says in breaths, his legs wobbling from the pain.

"It's called irony, Sport. I take over, and you head straight for the recyclin' bin." Rhinox continued.

"What a shame. For all of his attempt to form him to his assembly of weaklings, that Megatron eventually made things worse for himself and his gang." Predaking replied with distate.

"Yeesss... so it would seem. And even now, Rhinox, you're teaching me a valuable lesson." Megatron replied.

"Yeah? What's that?" Rhinox asked in confusion.

"Sometimes Predacons gloat too much!" he pressed the button, causing the Transmuter which Rhinox placed himself in to revert him back to his old Maximal self.

"W-Wha-? What happened?" Rhinox asked, confused.

"Maximal buffoon!" Megatron blasted Rhinox. "You thought you'd outwit ME?!"

Until the Maximals arrived in force, causing the Darksyde to fall in alert.

"MAXIMIZE!" they all transformed and attacked, Megatron and Scorponok were the only defenders.

"Okay, so how about we just punt your butt a couple of hundred yards down field." Cheetor taunted.

"Decepticons attack, attack!" Cheetor eventually silenced the confused Waspinator with a shot to the chest, accosting the wasp Predacon half of his body "More than meets the eyes, eyes..." (Bumblebee: That's Prime's thing, you little creep!) and fired at the Transmuter, causing the machine to suddenly overload passing out.

"Go get them Preda-creeps, Maxies!" Warpath cheered.

After Dinobot threw his sword at Scorponok's shoulder, Scorponok then tripped Dinobot with a leg sweep. He then mounted Dinobot while Optimus stands challengingly at Megatron, standing back and preparing his swords. While Scorponok was flailing claws at Dinobot, the latter managed to get up, withstanding the scorpion's wild blows, and while Primal swings his sword around, Megatron just knocks him down with his fusion cannon.

"Come on ya big ape! Don't let that overgrown lizard put you down!" Jetfire shouted.

Dinobot grabs Scorponok and grinds his head against his spinning blade shield. Primal gets up and tries to jump at Megatron, but the latter kicks him off. 

"Optimus!" Cheetor yelled.

Just as Megatron was about to blast Primal, the latter raises his sword to sever Megatron's cannon arm.

"OOOOOH!" said most of the audience.

"Not surprised. I've seen worse than an arm cut off." Ironhide commented.

"Who cares! Primal just cut PredaTron's arm off! Go for it!" Warpath cheered.

The Transmuter's core was going unstable...

"It's gonna blow!" Cheetor notified.

"Predacons -- take cover!" Megatron ordered.

"Dinobot -- grab Rhinox, and let's go, go, go!" Primal ordered.

"No -- this is our chance to take command of the base!" Dinobot objected.

"THAT'S AN ORDER!" Primal repeated. Dinobot carried the out-cold Rhinox with him and fled.

"Yo, everybody -- outta the pool!" Rattrap said, running away as quickly as he can.

The Maximals soon took flight with Rhinox in tow. While the Transmuter was falling apart...

"No, look. I can explain..." Megatron cuts off Terrorsaur with "Let me share this with you, Terrorsaur. I am very, very unhappy indeed. Oh, yess."

The Maximals kept on going until the Transmuter exploded, destroying a significant portion of the Darksyde.

"Score one for the Maxies! KA-BLAM!" Warpath announced.

The Autobots cheered.

The ex-Decepticons did not react; they rather were amused.

"Shockwave. Soundwave. If we ever have a new generation of Predacons..." Megatron ignored the glares of Predaking, Skylynx and Darksteel. "we must ensure them to be as strong as we were."

"Yes/As you command, Lord Megatron!" both replied.

When Rhinox made a full recovery smelling the flowers....

"Heaven."

"Good to have you back, Rhinox." Primal commented relaxing on a tree that Cheetor was laxing on.

"So give us a scoop. What's it actually feel like, bein' a Pred?" Cheetor asked.

"Like you're three gigabytes of Attitude on a two-gig hard-drive. No wonder they got personality problems." Rhinox joked.

The Maximals had a good laugh, as do the young Autobots, but Dinobot was unimpressed with their folderol and growled.

"Hilarious. But I suppose such designs are meant to fail."

"Perhaps. But at least we learned how one of us is forced to darkness against our will... only to sabotage it."

"Regardless Prime, that idea just fell flat before it even touched the ground."

"We will see, Jetfire. Omega Scion, are there more to come?"

"One that will include Dinobot facing a clone of himself, and one where a new Maximal will be introduced."
