Floating island


 * The Flying Island was an artificial island in the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 Continuity family

An articifial creation of the Vok, the Flying Island soared across Prehistoric Earth, containing great power and dangerous defenses.

Beast Wars
The Flying Island was discovered when Terrorsaur and Waspinator launched a sneak attack on Tigatron while he was in the mountains north of the Axalon. Tigatron fell off a cliff in the cloud carrying the island, and Terrorsaur and Waspinator followed. Upon firing at Tigatron, the central oblisk at fired a beam of powrful energy at the two Predacons.

Returning to base, Terrorsaur and Waspinator told the other Predacons of their experience. Megatron dispatched Scorponok and Blackarachnia to investigate. Airazor reported the status of the two fliers to the Axalon, and followed Scorponok and Blackarachnia. Tigatron, who had been enchanted by the Island's beauty, captured a cyberbee of Scorponok's. Scorponok and Blackarachnia managed to get on the island, and down Airazor, who was recovered by Tigatron. Using the cyberbee, Tigatron sent a message to the Maximals. Optimus and Rattrap left for the island, and after a brief encounter with Terrorsaur and Waspinator, arrived.

Blackarachnia, meanwhile, had figured out that the traps were identified by certain glyph, and began avoiding them. After hearing this, Rattrap concluded that the island was designed to draw intelligent species and test them. Realising them power that the Predacons would have with the Island under their control, the Maximals sped to the Oblisk, but Blackarachnia was able to interface with it, and sent it heading for the Maximal base. Knowing what would happen, Tigatron was forced to destroy the Oblisk's power source, casuing the island to crash and fall apart some distance from the Maximal base, though the Maximals survived. After crashing, the Oblisk sent out a beam to another similarly designed building on the planet's artificial moon, informing the Vok of the island's destruction.

Needless to say, the Vok were fairly pissed when they found out.
