Dinobot makes a decision that will haunt the rest of the season. Two fan-favourite Maximals get abducted by aliens. And yes, there are spiders in this one too.

This week on Toonami Absolution, Alyx, Jon, and Sam cover "Maximal, No More" and "Other Visits (Part 1)."

"Maximal, No More" shows Dinobot at his best as, after being captured, he makes the calculated decision to ask Megatron for permission to rejoin the Predacons. An action that forces him to hand over the Golden Disk.While he eventually does return to the Maximals the Disk remains gone, setting in motion a chain of events that will change the Beast Wars forever.

Then "Other Visits (Part 1)" opens the aliens-are-back arc in dramatic fashion: Tigatron and Airazor get abducted by aliens. Rhinox tries to work out what happened, only to find that Megatron’s study of the Alien Disks have allowed him to put an evil plan into motion. Tarantulas is also on his way, because of course he is.
