- November 2, 1997
In Beast Wars season 2 episode 2, titled "Coming of the Fuzors (1)", the Maximals and Predacons are still stranded on the primitive Earth, with both sides trying to find a way off the planet. However, a new group of Transformers show up on the scene, called Fuzors, causing havoc and confusion for both factions.
The Fuzors are a unique breed of Transformer, with two different animal modes that they can shift between. This makes them incredibly powerful and unpredictable, as they can combine the strengths and abilities of two different animals at any given time. The Maximals are initially excited about the possibility of gaining new allies, but quickly realize that the Fuzors have their own agendas and loyalties.
The first Fuzor introduced in the episode is Silverbolt, a powerful wolf-eagle hybrid who crashes onto Earth while pursuing a strange energy signal. Silverbolt is fiercely loyal to the Predacon leader, Megatron, and is willing to do whatever it takes to impress him and gain his favor. However, he quickly finds himself at odds with some of his fellow Predacons, particularly the scheming Tarantulas and the brutish Rampage.
Meanwhile, the Maximals try to recruit their own Fuzor - a mysterious creature named Quickstrike, who has a scorpion-cobra hybrid mode. Quickstrike is initially resistant to joining either side, but ultimately agrees to align himself with the Predacons after they promise him power and glory.
As the conflict between the Maximals and Predacons escalates, with the Fuzors caught in the crossfire, both sides begin to wonder if they will ever be able to coexist peacefully on this strange new world. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with the fate of Silverbolt and Quickstrike hanging in the balance and the other Fuzors still waiting in the wings.
