Page "Optimus Primal" Paragraph 15

With all the other Predacons dealt with, and Megatron finally their captive courtesy of Rhinox's quickly strategised intervention, the Maximals clamped him to the hull of the Autobot shuttle, and, with the Beast Wars finally concluded, headed back at last to Cybertron.

In a Deleted scene for this Episode ; before the Maximals Leave the planet, it shows Optimus pulling the Original Megatron's spark out of his foes ' chest and returning it to the Shell of the original Megatron himself to ensure events and time were not altered when the time would come for the Autobots and Decepticons to awaken and rebegin their fight on earth.

when this happens The Original Megatron's eyes glow much in the same fashion as when Primal returned Optimus Prime's Spark when the time storm died.

But in the show there wasn't any sign of another Time Storm forming after Megatron took his Namesake's Spark in any way like the one that formed when Megatron had almost killed Prime.

While the Maximals were returning to Cybertron, via Transwarp space, Megatron broke free from the ship's hull and hurtled full speed onwards the rest of the way, ahead of his foes.

The Maximals witnessed this as they were tossed about the ship with every klik ( earth second ) it spent traveling through Transwarp space.

When they arrived, shots rocketed towards, and damaged, their ship, sending it accelerating uncontrolably down to Cybertron.

The Maximals became unconscious at the time their ship was attacked.

They had enough consciousness after crashing, so they used it to escape the pursuit formations of Megatron's new, sparkless transformers, the Vehicons, who were armed with canisters containing his transformation freezing virus that, upon contact, devolved his foes into their original beast form bodies and suspended their ability to " MAXIMIZE!

", making them powerless to stop Megatron.
