The Nemesis burns up in its descent to the Earth's surface, while the Decepticons onboard are violently thrown about their bridge. Starscream and Megatron are both thrown into disarray over their predicament, and the Nemesis soon crashes into a lush jungle on the surface. Megatron receives a vision of Galvatron, who has been forcibly summoned by Unicron. Clutching a Golden Disk, Galvatron swears to find a way back to free himself. Awakening from his vision, Megatron still holds the Matrix of Leadership in hand.

The Autobots slowly awaken, battered by their crash-landing in the Ark. Optimus Prime requests a status report from Wheeljack, who discovers that they landed into an active volcano and sustained serious ship system failures. Optimus realizes he is injured but asks Ratchet to tend to the others first. Wheeljack and Arcee discover Teletraan I isn't 100% out of commission—it is mumbling something. Optimus orders Wheeljack to repair the ship and reiterates the importance of locating the Allspark.

Noticing a cheetah on the ship's monitor, Bumblebee becomes nervous about its whereabouts. Wheeljack then finds a large rat chewing wires in the Ark's underbelly, and the ship's crew is suddenly attacked by a rhinoceros and a white tiger! The cheetah attacks as well, seeing through Mirage's holographic field, but is repelled by Bumblebee. Optimus shoots the organic creatures with his ion blaster to halt their attack only to be assaulted and floored by a huge ape.

As Optimus throws his assailant off, the gorilla transforms into Optimus Primal. As the other organics reveal their Cybertronian modes, Prime vehemently denies any affiliation with "Nemesis", though Primal is quick to overtake the injured Autobot. Primal refuses to believe that his opponent is the original Optimus Prime and demands that he sees the Matrix of Leadership for validation of Prime's title. Prime begins to suffer from his wound, forcing Ratchet to intervene between their fight to tend to the Autobot leader.

A falcon spots Laserbeak exiting the Nemesis. Megatron, with the Matrix now strapped to his chest, orders his troops to work on the ship so they can leave Earth, asserting his desire to locate the Allspark and repeating his claims about "saving Cybertron". Megatron turns down Starscream's request to scout the area, while Soundwave reports that Laserbeak has spotted intruders...

The Decepticons wander into the jungle and find a purple Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Velociraptor, the former of which recognizes Megatron as his ancestor and showers him with praise. Predacon Megatron and his partner Dinobot reveal their robot modes and bow to the Decepticons, revealing the Golden Disk.

Back at the Ark, Prime barely recovers from his wound and asks Prowl for information on their visitors. Primal wishes to salvage materials from the Ark to fix their ship and leave the Autobots behind. Rightfully enraged, Bumblebee demands that the bots explain themselves, but Primal churlishly says they owe the Autobots nothing. However, Prime offers an alliance with their former attackers and recounts their dreadful journey through space, and offers to donate parts to the Maximal cause. Primal insults Prime for losing the Allspark, which caused the downfall of Cybertron and the inhabitants suffering for it. Prime explains he is on a quest to find the Allspark, which is on Earth, much to the bots' surprise. The tiger bot, Tigatron, receives a transmission from his comrade Airazor, the falcon, revealing the threat of both Megatrons. Optimus Primal finally explains that he is the leader of the Maximals, who are bots from the future.

Predacon Megatron explains to the original Megatron that the Maximals and Predacons were from the future, where the strongest Cybertronians survived in a dead Cybertron due to the loss of the Allspark. When the Megatron questions why they went to Earth at this time of all places, Predacon Megatron asserts that he specifically wanted to deliver the Golden Disk to his ancestor—the disk contains all of Megatron's past, present, and future memoirs, unique to his Energon signature. When the original Megatron suspects treachery on Predacon Megatron's behalf, he explains that his existence from the future of Cybertron is essentially proof that Prime never succeeded in retrieving the Allspark. As Starscream expresses disgust at the sycophantic Predacons and his lack of recognition from his peers, the arachnid Predacon Blackarachnia sneaks up on Starscream to polish his wounded ego. The two 'cons then form an alliance in secret.

Back at the Ark, the Autobots and Maximals struggle to trust each other, with the rat Maximal Rattrap suggesting the discovery of the Allspark will halt their alternate timeline and erase the Maximals' existence, but the idealistic cheetah Maximal Cheetor argues that stopping Megatron is more important than safeguarding their own existence.

Meanwhile, Airazor is spotted by Laserbeak and gunned down, enabling Soundwave to drag her back to the Nemesis at the mercy of both Megatrons...

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Optimus Primal gives a huge one to Optimus Prime (albeit with some inaccuracies) explaining that Prime's decision to take the [=AllSpark=] off Cybertron led to all Transformers fleeing their dead world Cybertron and so the Maximals have been fighting a losing war against the Predacons where most of them have since perished. Primal even tells Prime off that the Autobots crash landing in the Ark cost the Maximals their victory in ending and winning the war.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Optimus Prime uses these very words to defend himself against Primal's accusations of treachery and abandoning Cybertron just to "gallivant" through the stars.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the original ''Beast Wars'' series, the Maximals and Predacons were ''much'' smaller than the G1 Transformers and wouldn't stand a chance against them in battle. Here, they are not only at least just as big as their vehicle-mode counterparts but also can put up a good fight.

* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: The Maximals first considered eradicating the Autobots then take their ship and strip it down for parts and its Energon supplies. To their disappointment, there is scarcely any - so they merely ally with the Autobots to finally end the war against the Predacons.
