"Face me, Optimus! I, Dinobot, challenge you for leadership of the Maximals. You, and I, one-on-one. The winner shall be the leader, and the loser... well..." Dinobot said, before he looked down to the side of the land bridge, " it is a long way down." he continued before looking back at Primal. "I don't want to fight you!" Optimus exclaimed. "You do not have a choice!" Dinobot growled. "Your command center is back there... and no-one crosses this bridge, until you face me!"

"Don't we get a say in this?" Rhinox questioned. "Yeah, shouldn't we take a vote, like majority rules or something?" I added as I got off of Cheetor's back. "Let chopper face and the boss monkey duke it. No fur offa my tail." Rattrap expressed. "No way! Hey, scale-belly! How's 'bout you try a piece of a bad kitty, hah?!" Cheetor challenged. "Cool your circuits, Cheetor!  I wouldn't send anyone to do anything I wasn't willing to do myself." Optimus stated, turning to us. 'Wow, father-figure material right there' I thought. "Oh, yeah, right. Now he says that!" Rattrap drawled.

Optimus groaned in annoyance, turning back to velociraptor. "Oh, this is foolish, Dinobot! We're Maximals, you are a Predacon." Primal pointed out. "All the more reason I should lead, then." Dinobot said. "Look, I don't know what happened between you and Megatron-" "Megatron! Megatron will fall as soon as I your Maximals at my command." Dinobot stated, interrupting Optimus Prime. "Dude, just take the 'L'! You ain't getting the position of Maximal leader, or whatever you call it." I shouted. "Shut it, you pathetic fleshie! You are no Maximal, meaning you don't have a say in this!" He shouted back, to which I gave him the bird.

"You are welcome to join us, but you shall not lead!" Optimus stated. "I beg to differ. For, in anticipation of my new role as leader, I have already reprogrammed my activation code. Dinobot; MAXIMIZE!" He informed, transforming into robot-mode. "Optimus Primal; MAXIMIZE!" Optimus exclaimed, also transforming into robot-mode. Dinobot wielded a spinning sword and a rotating bladeshield, and Optimus wielded two curved machetes.

"I'm going in there! Cheetor; MAX-" Cheetor started, before Rattrap clamped his mouth shut. "Clamp it, kitty! Nailing the Chopper from behind won't settle anything." The transforming rodent stated. "Yeah. Like it, or not, we gotta let 'em finish." Rhinox added.

During the battle, where Dinobot basically lost, he told Primal to finish him off, making me feel a bit sympathetic towards him. I mean, it wasn't his fault that he's like this, I think. It's what he knows from working with the Predacons, despite his arrogance. Hell, when Optimus was about to fall of the bridge, he helped him up; at least he's honorable at best. Well... before he went back to trying to attack him again.

"YOW! Shift your scanners due east there, pals! This party has got big time crashers!" Rattrap informed. "To bad I can't." I stated, crossing my arms. I then took out my binoculars from my backpack and looked to the east, and I saw the Predacons on some mountain side as they fired their weapons at the bridge. "Optimus!" Cheetor shouted for warning. Optimus saw this and transformed into beast-mode and got himself and Dinobot out of the way, the Predacon's shots going over the bridge.

"OPTIMUS!" Cheetor shouted out for, looking down at the bottom below. He lowered his head, thinking he was dead. "Um, Cheetor, look to your left." I pointed out, in a deadpanned tone, pointing to the left. "If you guys aren't doing anything..." Optimus started. He was hanging upside down, in beast-mode, holding Dinobot by the ankle as the Predacons continued to fire at the bridge, making some sediments fall off. "A little speed would be prime!"

"Let's go! Cheetor; MAXIMIZE!"

"Rhinox; MAXIMIZE!"

Rhinox tapped Rattrap's back. "Hey, hey! You go an' get yourself scrapped. 'Cuz I ain't- huuah!" Rhinox interrupted him by grabbing him by the back of his neck, lifting him up to his eye level and glared at the rodent. "Alright, alright!" He wheezed. He said his activation code and transformed.
