Cheetor? Cheetor?! CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRR!!!!

A Stonehenge-lookalike made Optimus disappear, so now there's a dispute on who should be leader.

These guys have a long way to go in getting along. Also, this episode is the first to do with the Vok.

The first of many "Get to da pod!" episodes.

Introducing....Blackarachnia!

Rhinox built a super security system that (big shock) goes haywire!

Rattrap's a secret....agent mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Ugh....puns.

It's not gonna work. That would be too easy.

After installing a hidden camera in the Predacon base, the Maximals watch them destroy themselves up during a power-struggle between Terrorsaur and Megatron. Investigating, they find no signs of life, so it looks like they won, and can go back to Cybertron with salvaged parts from the remains of the Predacon ship.
