Optimus detects a familiar spark and sends the Maximals out to look for it. Unfortunately all they find is Tankor, ready to "smash beastbots". Rattrap, however, still stuck in beastmode, finds a "transformation enhancer" program - though it turns out to be a bit too much of a good thing.moreless

The fourth episode focuses on Rattrap and Tankor. Megs sends Jetstorm, Thrust and Tankor off to capture the Maximals for a reward. Jets and Thrust start beating eachother for no reason while a stressed Tankor heads off to smash the Maximals. Optimus is currently in sad mode and vows to find Rhinox and Silverbolt, although Rattrap isn't too thrilled about it. The group look for a Spark, but Rattrap finds a counter-virus to cure his transformation glitch. Tankor finds the Maximals and chases them about. Rattrap shows up, able to transform, but the counter-virus malfunctions, sending him into a transformation frenzy, giving poor Tankor a headache. Jets and Thrust show up and now start randomly shooting at Tankor. Tankor blows up a building that knocks out everyone. Tankor takes the Maximals to Megatron who gloats a lot. Rattrap's transformation mayhem manages to free the team and they make a break for freedom. Tankor pursues but Optimus speaks to his spark, causing him to turn against Megatron. However, Tankor's time as a Maximal is shortlived when Megs shuts off his free will.moreless
