Somewhere in the universe, an army of Maximals have launched an attack on a Predacon fortress, belonging to the leader, Magmatron! Unable to defeat his forces, the Maximals are blown away. However, a single warrior is able to breach the defenses. His name is Big Convoy, and single-handedly, he defeats the Predacon leader. Much to Big Convoy's dismay, he has been assigned to lead a group of rookie Maximals by the Convoy Council.

On the planet God Bless, a mountain has decided to go off and defy gravity by floating away. Not so coincidentally, this is where the Energios capsule is located. The Maximals spot the mountain, but at first believe it's a satellite. Longrack insists that they have no choice but to investigate. Cohrada disagrees and believes it shouldn't be their job. Cooler heads prevail and the Maximals decide to check it out. The Maximals are greeted by a Maximal God -- which even Big Convoy had never heard of, and natives of the God Bless are being told by their own god to gather their rare Orange Oil. Are the two apparitions a coincidence, or is there something more to it?

The Maximals detect an Energios capsule there (which the Predacons are in hot pursuit of), but are alarmed when they find out its current state is far from tropical. Unfortunately, only Break and Big Convoy are well-suited for the mission now. Big Convoy says they all will go, so they can learn how to adapt. Elsewhere, an alien complains about his brother, while unknowingly dragging the Energios capsule behind him with his tail.

Stampy's used to being the weak link of the team... which is fine, as long as someone else is able to pick up his slack. But when all of the Maximals are captured, it's up to Stampy to save them!

Watch what happens when Break and Cohrada are chosen for a mission -- alone! Will they work well as a team or pitifully squabble? I'll put my bets on the latter.

The highlight of this episode is a one-on-one confrontation between Magmatron and Big Convoy, the first since their meeting in the first episode. What's worse for Big Convoy is the Maximals cannot make it onto the planet, and he has underestimated Magmatron's power. Also, he runs into someone from his past who happens to be on the planet, Rockbuster.

The episode starts as every other episode does, the Maximals detect a new capsule on an unknown planet. Sounds routine enough. However, there are two problems... First, the planet is a maze, and second, Saberback is already on the planet -- and has the capsule in his possession already! Adding to the troubles, Stampy has been selected for the mission to conquer his fear of the dark, making him a liability to the other Maximals on the mission, Break and Cohrada. You can expect the three of them to get along aswell as they usually do -- not very well, leading to some bickering between them.

We begin with the Maximals detecting another Energios capsule, but when they get closer to the uninhabited planet it resides on, they notice an abnormality, which turns out to be a black hole. Not just any black hole, though. This is a super-duper spectacular grand -- okay, this time it is an ordinary black hole which you see every day. The problem is that the black hole will soon devour the planet along with the capsule, but when the Maximals make it to the planet, they are also in danger. Oh, yeah, and the Predacons are there too.

The Maximals split up on a planet (or something of the sort...) called Sargasso. Being that there is an odd number of Maximals, one Maximal would have to go alone (well, that's Big Convoy logic for you -- I guess he just likes to be alone). Unbeknownst to him, there is a giant spider on the planet, who the Maximals fear he might have run into. Is there enough leadership between the remaining Maximals to find Big Convoy? Would they be able to find the capsule without his help?

The Maximals find themselves searching for a capsule on something which they don't know what to make of -- something which plans to make them into its next meal. To make matters worse, the Predacons can't miss out on a capsule hunt, so they're in the picture as well. Not only is this creature really large and really hungry, there's also all sorts of crazy hazards inside his stomach.
