BEAST WARS "Quickstrike possesses Optimus" Pt 1 of 2

Hiding out of Optimus Primal's sight, Tarantulas blows a dart that burrows itself into Primal's foot, crawls through the Maximal leader's interior machinery, and accesses Primal's own spark. Blackarachnia returns to the Maximal base, surprised by the open doors. She finds the entire interior dark. Primal sneaks up on the arachnid and Megatron and his cronies step out of the darkness. Quickstrike is revealed to be controlling Optimus Primal by piloting a large, mechanical suit of similar form to Primal's body. The other Maximals are being kept deactivated in a hanging cage. In front of the Ark, Megatron orders Quickstrike to use the access codes to open the door. Megatron walks through the halls of the ship to find what he's looking for: his namesake, the original Megatron. The Predacon leader opens his own chest, and a tentacle reaches out of it to access the spark of his predecessor. After a bit of struggle, Megatron takes the spark into his body, and immediately collapses. While his "boss" convulses from the pain of containing two sparks, Quickstrike dumps his leader into one of the lava pits outside, giving the Ark to his real superior: Tarantulas!

Gary Chalk copying Quickstrike's accent was icing on a cupcake 🧁

This is why Megs keeps Tarantulas around despite his constant betrayals. Because he's the only Predacon smart enough to engineer crazy tech like this.

[@XperimentorEES]

Now that I think about it, tarantulus is basically committing war crimes all over the place throughout the series.

[@galsameloof5590]

You know, being able to drill a bug into a spark like that sounds useful, maybe you should killed him instead…Ahh I’ll just scratch up as Tarantulus’s insanity.

[@USDebtCrisis]

If he outright killed Optimus then they wouldn't be able to get the codes

[@galsameloof5590]

@@USDebtCrisis ehh some codes or the main characters death?

[@ProtossTempest]

Meh get the codes, kill all Cybertronians in the Ark, then create time event that kills all the main characters. Gotta think big scale, like Tarantulus

[@darknessrising2453]

Feels like they should have more than just one of those mind-control bugs...

[@anguscovoflyer95]

Megatron could have tried to destroy Optimus prime again
