Blackarachnia attempt to use the Transmetal drive that she recovered from Depth Charge after he threw it into the lavapit to turn Transmetal. However it backfires and starts degrading her core consciousness, forcing her to remove core consicousness and begin a Maximal.
When Tarantulas discover that removal process of her core consciousness, the Predacon launch an attack on the Maximal base to make sure that they don't succeed on saving Blackarachnia.
