"Now that Maxie-Bolt is in the team again, let's see the Preds stack up to their aerial superiority now!" Warpath cheered.

"They still got Inferno and Waspinator, and heck, Megatron can fly too." corrected Air Raid.

"Yeah, and Primal's got Cheetor and Silverbolt's grandkid in the mix. I'd say that's even!" replied Bulkhead.

"Even indeed. Omega Scion, if you may..."

"Alright, everyone take your seats."

They already took their seats as the Orb revealed another viewing counting down to three...

Languished in boredom, the Predacons' leader, Megatron then called forth his 'most trusted subordinates' as he considered...

"Ah my happy little band... Eager to begin another glorious Predacon day are we?"

Tarantulas arrived. "Why have you called me here Megatron? I am engaged in important research on our new Transmetal forms!"

"Yess, I have no doubt you are." Megatron retorted cooly. "But I have more important duties for you. I've detected a large store of Energon cubes in Grid Arakis." He ordered "You will build a refueling station there. Blackarachnia and Quickstrike will assist you."

The scorpion Fuzor arrived at the mention of his name "Don't trust tall, dark, and creepy to handle things himself, eh? If I gets th' chance t' kick me some Maximal butt 'long the way, who cares?"

"And how may I serve you, Royalty?" Inferno arrived with Waspinator.

"Yes, what Waspinator do?"

"You two will construct a jamming tower at these coordinates, disrupting Maximal communications." Megatron ordered.

"What precisely are you doing?" Blackarachnia asked.

"Planning for the future. Now go." Megatron said, dismissing his minions to carry out their orders.

"Something tells me the Maxies are gonna find out what they're doing." said Wheeljack.

"Betcha their plans are gonna get toasted!" teased Warpath.

"Provided the Maximals get rid of that jamming tower. No way they can communicate when their communications are blocked." Ultra Magnus pointed out.

"On our way, Boss-Bot." Quickstrike responded to his orders.

"As you command, my Queen." Inferno departed with Waspinator.

"I do wish he'd stop calling me that." Megatron cringed.

"What did you prefer for him anyway? Call him 'My Master'?" Predaking asked.

"So Megatron means to persist in his madness?" Tarantulas wondered as he left his lord's company. Elsewhere, him,  Quickstrike and Blackarachnia carried out a menial task of lifting heavy materials required for the construction of the recharge station, much to the former's displeasure.

"Tar...Tarna..." grunted Quickstrike as he struggles with the heavy lifting of a I-beam.

"I cannot believe... Megatron expects me to carry out such a menial task." Tarantulas groused having to carry heavy loads to prepare building the Energon recharge station.

"Stop griping and start lifting!" Blackarachnia snapped. "Now, I've divided the load into equal shares for transport." She then turned to Quickstrike seductively. "Though I'm sure a big, strong bot like you could carry more than anyone, hmmmm?"
