"I could have sworn we don't have those 'programming blocks' that tiger said, but it's the future anyways, so we might have had that when we're born in the future." Shockwave commented.

"Neither would your second eye, Shockwave." Soundwave jabbed.

He scowled at Soundwave, earning laughter from his Decepticon comrades.

The Autobot younglings joined in.

"Are you done? Omega Scion is preparing the viewing."

"In three... two... one..."

In a Maximal mining operation in the cliff edges before the falls, a certain rat Maximal was busy drilling until he stopped and called...

"Ey, pussy-cat! Over here!"

Cheetor arrived, wearing a strange pack on his back. Just as Rattrap was picking up an Energon shard.

"Wow, way to go, RT!" Cheetor praised, as Rattrap placed the raw Energon shard in his pack.

"Few more chunks like that and we'll have enough to power the quantum scanners!" the young Maximal cheered.

"Yeah, I got a nose for energon, kid. Used to be the best miner in the Vespa System." Rattrap reminded.

The former Cons and basically any Autobot who's had a mining background raised their eyebrows a bit.

"Interesting... so he was a miner as I was before..." Megatron said. "You impress me so, Rattrap."

Perceptor silently agreed. He spent his pre-war life as a mineralogist in the Vespa System, where he picked off samples of each planet to best determine which had a higher Energon output in each. It was an accomplishment for him that the Vespa System (which Vespa IX was the capitol as it had the highest Energon output he discovered by far) was colonized shortly after his discovery, but he had not made any contact with the Vespa colonists ever since.

"Not to mention that this whole area is reading large Energon deposits." Rhinox clarified straightly from a position above Rattrap and Cheetor.

"Yeah, yeah, you're so funny..." Rattrap replied in a set aside tone.

Meanwhile, Dinobot with a scanner in hand positioned around where possible Energon deposits may be found via a scanner.

"So... Now I'm nothing more than an Energon miner!" Dinobot whined. "What a waste of my talents!" he spat out.

"Ah, don't whine. There should be more to the Beast Wars than just fighting!" Grimlock assured.

"I found some! Here!" as Dinobot found the Energon signature to a medium-sized Energon deposit sticking out in a ground pit slightly below them.

"Nice find, Dino-miner." Cheetor complimented once he and Rattrap caught up with him after hearing his call.

Bumblebee, Smokescreen and Sideswipe chuckled.

"You're even better at this than Rattrap!" the cheetor Maximal continued.

"I'm better at everything than Rattrap!" Dinobot boasted.

"Too early to make empty boasts, Dinobot." Bulkhead sternly reminded.

"Yeah?!" Rattrap challenged, but Rhinox hears the sound of flyers coming their way and yelled "Heads up! Incoming!"

A missile struck on the Energon deposit instead of them, as Waspinator and Scorponok appeared before and above them. 

"You missed!" Dinobot taunted.
