The series that revived the Transformers franchise after a years-long recession,note In terms of television that is; both the toyline as well as the comics had remained popular way into the 90s Beast Wars was a fully CG-animated series that premiered in 1996. It was produced by the now-bought-out Mainframe Entertainment, hot on the heels of its predecessor, ReBoot (in fact, its first season aired as part of the syndicated "Power Block" [distributed by Hasbro's Claster TV firm)] alongside ReBoot, G.I. Joe Extreme and Vor-Tech: Undercover Conversion Squad). Hugely controversial at the time among purists for the massive changes to the Transformers formula, most prominently the change from vehicles and electronics to animals. "TRUKK NOT MUNKY!" was a common cry of its detractors of the time.Beast Wars is a Distant Sequel set in the far future of the Transformers: Generation 1 franchise, though it never refers to enough specifics to figure out which Generation One (cartoon, comics or something else), and the events of the "Great War" are Shrouded in Myth. After the war ended with an Autobot victory, an uneasy truce has existed on Cybertron for many centuries. During this time of peace, the Transformers were reformatted into smaller, more energy-efficient bodies; the descendants of the Autobots are known as the Maximals, and the Decepticons have become the Predacons.A Predacon rogue steals a precious artifact from the Cybertronian archives and names himself Megatron after the historical Decepticon leader. The artifact contains the coordinates of a planet ripe with energon and Megatron escapes into space with it and a small band of followers, intent on acquiring enough energon to instigate a full-scale Predacon rebellion. The only ship able to pursue is crewed by a team of scientists and researchers led by Optimus Primal (no relation to Optimus Prime beyond name — at least not in this continuity). Their ships crash on an unknown foreign world, similar to but not quite exactly the same as pre-historic Earth. The planet does have energon, but too much of it and it is in a raw, unstable form, and prolonged exposure would short out their systems and send them into stasis lock. To bypass this the two sides adopt "beast modes" based on the planet's native lifeforms, which they can use to move about outside their ships without risking overexposure.Against this backdrop, the Beast Wars between the Maximals and Predacons begin. The Maximals want to go home and let the proper authorities deal with Megatron, but the hope for rescue is slim, as their ships had trans-warp engines that let them travel through space and time, so they could be anywhere, anytime, in the galaxy. The plan is that if they can subdue the Predacons, they can turn their attention to repairing their ship or finding a way to contact Cybertron. As for the Predacons, while the bulk believe they are here just to acquire energon to take back to Cybertron, Megatron had a secret, ulterior motive for coming to this specific planet at this specific point in time — the true identity of the planet and why Megatron came here serve as big reveals in the second season. The two sides must also deal with a third party, Sufficiently Advanced Aliens known as the "Vok" that have a presence on this alien world and don't like the Transformers interfering with their plans for it.Despite its detractors when it began, Beast Wars was actually quite innovative for its time, not only because of the aforementioned CG, but also because of the tight storyline and significant character development. The show made attempts to push the boundaries of contemporary children's shows via witty wordplay and graphic violence that was let slip because flying robot parts have been permissible since time immemorial. The expense of CG animation at the time (each episode cost about $700,000 during Season 1, as an example) required a limited cast of characters, unlike the 1984 series's cast of dozens. Although this, too, was decried at the time, it meant more time was spent with each character, so they developed distinct personalities and dynamics with each other, and most of them got ongoing story arcs and character development across multiple episodes. It also meant that when a new character was introduced, an existing character was killed off, or someone got a significant upgrade that affected their appearance, it was treated as a big deal and would be a lasting, permanent change (most of the time, anyway).On the toy side, the toys made much larger use of ball-joint technology than the Generation 1 toys did, and this meant the Beast Wars-era toys were a huge leap above the originals in playability; they had much better articulation, their joints were less prone to damage, and since the toys were being made with intent to tie into the cartoon this time instead of Hasbro creating a cartoon based on pre-existing toys, the characters looked more similar between the two formats. The toyline was not without its problems, though. "Shell-formers" is a fan term used for Transformers where their alt mode just opens up and the robot climbs out with their alt-mode pieces folding up and hanging off of their limbs, and the fandom generally dislikes this. These kinds of toys existed before Beast Wars but became much more prevalent here due to the wide variety of beast modes among the cast. In the name of looking convincingly like real animals the toys often had large, sculpted pieces that tried to cover up the robot mode parts as much as possible, so when it came time to transform them into robot mode, it wasn't always possible to find a way to gracefully integrate these pieces into the robot, so they often just folded up on their backs and chests to compress them as much as possible.The voices of Optimus Primal and Megatron, Garry Chalk and David Kaye, would return to voice Optimus Prime and Megatron in the Unicron Trilogy. If you didn't grow up on the voices of Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, you probably grew up with these guys.note And for some irony, Kaye would voice Optimus Prime in Transformers: Animated, and for the G1 Megatron's cameo in this series Chalk did a Frank Welker impression. This makes them the only two voice actors to have voiced both Optimus and Megatron in some incarnation.For its flaws and strengths, Beast Wars set the standard for all other Transformers franchises from then on, both in toy and in cartoon format. Even now, it just won't die; a "10th Anniversary" release of the original toys was created (with new figures for Primal and Megatron), and fan favorites Blackarachnia and Waspinator were carried over into Transformers: Animated. Dinobot was the inaugural fan-chosen inductee into the Transformers Hall of Fame in 2010, with many Beast Wars characters following. The franchise got a massive tribute for its 25th anniversary in the form of the Kingdom toy line portion of the War for Cybertron trilogy, with much of this show’s cast featuring in the show’s third season. 2023's Transformers: Rise of the Beasts also serves as a tribute to Beast Wars, featuring several characters making their live-action debut in the Transformers Film Series. To some, Beast Wars is the best Transformers incarnation of all time due to its high quality and production values. It isn't uncommon for even longtime Generation 1 fans to claim that the show is their favorite Transformers series.The Sequel Series, Beast Machines, was... less well-regarded, due mainly to characterization changes, a focus on longer plot arcs, being too preachy, and a darker tone in general. The massive redesigns that the Beast Wars cast underwent were also a huge factor in its reception. Despite this, it has its own fanbase. See its own page for more information.In Japan, two traditionally animated series were created to fill in the production gaps between seasons, Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo. They were never dubbed, as they don't fit in very well with the continuity of either the source material or each other. Both shows are much more lighthearted than their Western counterparts and aimed at a much younger audience than Beast Wars (which could plausibly be called the first Transformers series aimed at teenagers, not just children). In addition, the Japanese release of the CG Beast Wars cartoon also changed the dialog for a younger audience, almost to the point of being a Gag Dub.Transformers: Timelines has provided a few prequel stories to Beast Wars.During the line's heyday there were a few spinoff lines, including Machine Wars (a KB Toys exclusive line featuring vehicular TFs that were redecos of European molds, and was an early attempt at reintroducing character with vehicular altmodes instead of animals, but it quietly faded away) and a tie-in line with Animorphs that wasn't well-received by either fanbase.Here's a Character sheet. Now updated with characters from the Expanded Universe. Please feel free to add to it.

Anyone Can Die
 Beast Wars / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: invoked Out of a total named cast of twenty, only eight, not counting one-shot characters, make it out alive. This was largely due to Executive Meddling and software limitations. CG was relatively new at the time, and only a handful of characters could appear at once; add in the Merchandise-Driven nature of the franchise, and characters had to be removed to show off new toys. Luckily, the show ran with the punches and figured out how to swing the act properly each time someone had to bite it—save for Scorponok and Terrosaur and the infamous retconned death of Inferno in the second season finale. The remaining stasis pods were never found and presumed destroyed. note Unless you read the IDW comics. The body count is quite high for a kid's show. If you take Beast Machines into account, the bodycount is even higher. Of the ten characters introduced in the first episode of Beast Wars, only Cheetor, Rattrap and Waspinator are still alive at the end of Beast Machines.

Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate
 Beast Wars / int_129074bf
comment
Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate: Dinobot spends most of the second season contemplating his fate and whether he has any control over it, once he discovers Megatron has a method to predict the future using the golden disk. Dinobot goes through enough grief that he joins the Predacons for the simple reason they're more likely to win, and after rejoining the Maximals, he contemplates suicide. He finally finds his answer witnessing Megatron directly changing the future of his own free will. Dinobot becomes relieved and ironically finds himself with no choice but to perform a Heroic Sacrifice to thwart Megatron's plan to wipe out human existence. In death, Dinobot finds peace, knowing he died from actions of his own free will.

The Artifact
 Beast Wars / int_13d7a65e
comment
The Artifact: Optimus and Megatron's names were due to being planned to be the original G1 characters in new forms. A jetpack is a seemingly random ability for a gorilla transformer to have, but as Optimus Primal was planned to be a bat in the show (matching his original toy) scenes were written with Optimus flying, so gorilla Optimus was given a jetpack to preserve them. The beast modes of the characters largely lost any story relevance after the start of the second season, since their main utility (blocking energon radiation) was no longer relevant, and the traditional uses of beast modes in the franchise, such as disguise or rapid transport, were either useless or irrelevant. Transmetal characters got pseudo-vehicle modes that gave them some utility, but other characters had little reason to use their beast modes other than "the toys have them."

In the episode "Chain Of Command", Optimus Primal was captured by the Predacons and the remaining Maximals were hobbled by the fact that they don't have an actual plan for this situation. An attempt at voting for a new leader failed due to being split down the middle, until Optimus managed to send a message putting Rattrap in charge. In the aftermath, the Maximals organised a proper chain of command in order to prevent such a blunder from happening again.

It Only Works Once
 Beast Wars / int_20e6a6e7
comment
It Only Works Once: Optimus' death in the first season finale was undone several episodes into season two with the justification that the nature of his death, destroying the Planet Killer device, left a direct energy trail from his spark to the matrix, the transformer afterlife. Even then, retrieving him was said to push Rhinox's mental capacities to their limit and they needed a blank protoform body to put Optimus into. It was all very lucky they were able to get him back, and most certainly wouldn't be able to be done twice. Megatron's first attempt to attack a group of the early ancestors of humanity in a specific valley to prevent the evolution of modern man was never repeated. In the attack, Dinbot shattered the Voyager Disc that allowed Megatron to view his effects on the future and the surviving proto-humans were forced to flee the valley in separate groups. With the tribes scattered in hiding and with no access to the Disc's message, Megatron gave up on attempting to wipe out humanity as he could never be certain that he could find and kill enough of them to make change the future to his specifications. He still had the proto-humans hunted on a few occasions, but only as part of other schemes.

Diminishing Villain Threat: Waspinator. While rarely a victor, he's initially portrayed as a competent fighter, as evidenced by his battle with Cheetor in the premiere. However, the writers soon made Waspinator comic relief, leading him to "getting blown to scrap all the time!" While this was originally done by the writers as an excuse to avoid having to write Waspinator's unique speech style too often, it led to Waspinator becoming one of the most popular characters in the series. When Starscream takes over his body, he is a lot more effective.

Puny Earthlings: Zigzagged. Megatron hates humanity for our helping the Autobots defeat the Decepticons and allowing the Maximals to rule over the Predacons. One of his reasons for coming to Earth was to massacre our ancestors and prevent humanity from existing. The early anthropoids are initially helpless against the Predacons, and only Dinobot's Heroic Sacrifice keeps them from being wiped out. The anthropoids later take a level in badass and are able to fight off Inferno and Quickstrike quite effectively. It's implied that this came from Dinobot unwittingly teaching them toolmaking and the Maximals' later attempts to educate them.

Verbal Tic: Megatron's constant habit of tacking "Yeeesss" onto his sentences. Likewise, he also says "No" quite frequently. Waspinator has a tendency to pronounce s's as z's and draw them out, resulting in things like pronouncing his name as "Wazzzzpinator". He also has a habit of devolving into muttering that sounds like buzzing. Notably, the writers hated the way he spoke so much, both because it was annoying and it ate up a lot of time, that they resorted to quickly knocking him out of fights so they wouldn't have to deal with him. In the Japanese dub, almost everyone (mainly Rhinox, Dinobot, Tigatron, Silverbolt, and every member of Megatron's predacons) had a phrase that they would end their sentences with, usually a gag based on their beast mode.

 Beast Wars / int_2e8441c9

The Bad Guy Wins: Both Seasons 1 and 2 end on decisive victories for Megatron: Season 1 ends with Megatron successfully orchestrating the death of Optimus Primal, with his final words being "The Beast Wars are over, Optimus-You. Lose. Season 2 ends with Megatron infiltrating the Ark and shooting Optimus Prime in the head, retroactively altering the timeline so the Decepticons win the Great War and the Predacons rule Cybertron; the season ends with the Maximals fading out of existence and Megatron gloating.

Rank Scales with Asskicking
 Beast Wars / int_3441859b
comment
Rank Scales with Asskicking: Present, as per usual for a Transformers series, but downplayed at first. Optimus Primal and Megatron do start the series bigger (barring Dinobot), stronger, and better armed than the rest of the cast, but not to the same overwhelming degree as their G1 counterparts. They can and do lose engagements to foes that are not each other. However, as the series goes on, and they evolve into the various Transmetal forms, their power compared to their contemporaries increases exponentially; once he achieves his "Optimal" form, Optimus tends to wind up getting sidelined in most fights simply because he's heavily-armed enough to scatter the entire Predacon force pretty much singlehandedly.

In the first few episodes, Scorponok's missiles have Maximal insignias on them, evidently the Cybertronian equivalent of marking your bullets with your victim's name. Viewers failed to pick up on this and wondered why a Predacon had weapons with the opposite faction's insignia on them, so later episodes have Scorponok's missiles bearing Predacon insignias instead.

This also is to all say nothing of the wreckage of the ships and the Transformers themselves, the significant geography changes caused by the Vok's planet buster, the way the Transformers directly influenced human evolution, and so forth. The series never explores the potential repercussions of any of these events, so it's not clear if they were part of the Stable Time Loop stuff where these events always happened, or part of the Screw Destiny front where they did change the future but in ways not so great as to be of note.

Death Is Cheap
 Beast Wars / int_37fcf16
comment
Optimus' death in the first season finale was undone several episodes into season two with the justification that the nature of his death, destroying the Planet Killer device, left a direct energy trail from his spark to the matrix, the transformer afterlife. Even then, retrieving him was said to push Rhinox's mental capacities to their limit and they needed a blank protoform body to put Optimus into. It was all very lucky they were able to get him back, and most certainly wouldn't be able to be done twice.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Beast Wars / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Quite a few with regard to the war between the two factions. The extremely low character count — five on each side to start — means that any time a stasis pod shows up, it's a major priority to secure it and get a new comrade out of it, because with the numbers this low even a one-bot advantage is one neither side can afford to let the other get. For the same reason defection from one side to the other is treated very seriously. Flying Transformers are a serious threat, because they can get around quicker and easier and are also tricky to fight. A lot of episodes in the first season have the plot point of Optimus racing Terrorsaur and Waspinator to some objective point or being the only one able to fight them on equal footing (so to speak) because he's the only Maximal that can fly (Airazor joined them later). In the second season, Megatron becoming transmetal and able to fly himself was a big equalizer in his battles with Optimus. The cast's beast modes are terribly inconvenient for them in the first season, acting as a Drama-Preserving Handicap that forces them into their beast modes at times when they need to be in robot mode for mobility and/or combat. The episode "The Probe" makes this a major plot point in the climax when Rhinox is forced to transform into beast mode when operating a computer, and with the rest of the Maximals also stuck in beast mode, Optimus has to finish Rhinox's work because he's the only one with hands in his beast mode. Megatron in this series is a Combat Pragmatist, and he'll do anything if it means his goals are met. When his plan to simply kill off the proto-humans fails and he later finds the Decepticon warship the Nemesis, the first thing he does with it is try to blow all proto-humans off the face of the Earth. Even when Dinobot II tries to tell him that it's overkill to use giant ship-to-ship lasers to kill a primitive tribe of organics, Megatron pretends to consider it for a second, and then pushes the button anyway. After spending half an episode shooting anything that moves, Megatron loses everything when he doesn't have the energy for a shot when he actually needs it. A scene seemingly parodying the one from Raiders of the Lost Ark: Optimus is going all over the place showing off his sword moves, and Megatron just shoots him. One early episode had Optimus be injected with a Psycho Serum that turned him into The Berserker, leading to Dinobot taking command after he heads off to attack the Predacons head on. Since the episode had previously set up that Dinobot despised Optimus' more peaceful tactics and suggested just letting him kill them all, and was currently regretting his words, it looks like he'll talk to the Predacons and resolve the situation peacefully. Instead, when he has Cheetor warn the Predacons ahead of time, they just start preparing for Optimus' arrival; ultimately, the Maximals only save Optimus by attacking the base from the outside while he rampages inside, which Dinobot had been rallying for from the beginning. When Terrorsaur briefly takes over the Predacons after he finds stockpile of energon from a floating mountain that empowers him to overthrow Megatron by damaging him in combat, him defeating Megatron and boasting he is charge meets with predictable consequences when his Hour of Power shows up despite him trying to hide his weakness. Tarantulas follows him and attempts to take the source of power for himself and leaves Scorponok to repair Megatron. Once the Maximals destroy the mountain of energon, he is back to square one. In one episode, Blackarachnia headbutts Silverbolt hard enough to knock him out... and then she falls unconscious a few seconds later. It doesn't matter who's on the receiving end, trauma from headbutts go both ways. In the episode "Victory", when the Predacons appeared to have perished after Terrorsaur launched a rebellion against Megatron, the Maximals decide to leave Earth, and Cheetor suggest they return exploring space, but Rattrap points out with their ship, the Axalon, barely holding together meaning if they make it into space the Maximals have no choice but to return to Cybertron to which Optimus agrees.

2D Visuals, 3D Effects: Inverted. Because the vast majority of the show is CG, the rare instance of non-CG imagery (many fire and explosion effects, for example) is very conspicuous. Later seasons also showcase an all-CGI variant of this by retaining models from Season 1 like Rhinox and Waspinator, showing off how old and underdetailed they are compared to the ones introduced in seasons 2 and 3. Or compared to even Inferno and Blackarachnia from later in Season 1.

Characterization Marches On
 Beast Wars / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: A lot of the characterization is quite different in early Season 1, before the writers really worked out who the characters were. Scorponok, not Tarantulas, is the smart guy of the Preds; Tarantulas's focus seems to be entirely based on eating things; and Rhinox is the type of guy to say, "Yo, ease up." None of it jives very well with the characters as they eventually become.

Butt-Monkey: Waspinator is by far the biggest example. His many deaths can be watched here. From the 'bot himself: Scorponok and Terrorsaur have almost it as bad early on. Terrorsaur, in particular, initially rivals Waspinator for being blown to pieces. Unlike the poor bug, he still manages to remain a genuine threat, if only due to having one of the biggest arsenals in show. As a matter of fact, Waspinator is such a butt monkey that he appears most frequently as the enemy in the Quake-style FPS game Rattrap plays in his downtime.

Sealed Evil in a Can: Protoform X a.k.a. Rampage. He is the result of Maximal experiments to produce an immortal super-soldier by copying Starscream's mutant spark. They got that part right in the form of an unkillable serial killer who slaughtered human and Cybertronian alike. After eventually capturing him, the Maximal Elders sealed him up in a stasis pod, then turned him over to Optimus Primal's crew to dump on some desolate asteroid, since they couldn't figure out how to destroy him. Several adventures later, the monster is unleashed again and recruited by the Predacons.

Fling a Light into the Future
 Beast Wars / int_4aafd3c8
comment
Fling a Light into the Future: A villain example, before the Great War from the original cartoon, the humans launched the golden disk which contained information about Earth into outer space. Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, acquired it at some point and encoded an additional message on the disk. Presumably, the message indicates the location of the Ark and asks the descendants of the Decepticons to use transwarp technology to travel through time, gain access to the Ark using codes to Teletraan I encoded on the disk, and change history by killing Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, before he can defeat Megatron and win the Great War. Dinobot does an unwitting example when he uses a wood and stone club to take the Golden Disk from Megatron and destroy it. One of the anthropoids later finds the club and uses it both to gather food and defend himself from a predator, implying that Dinobot triggered humanity's learning to make and use tools.

Getting Crap Past the Radar: In "Double Dinobot", there is ciphertext that reads "hey ian, go fuck yourself".

After Silverbolt's illegal flirting with Blackarachnianote Double entendres don't mandate a rating higher than PG or equivalent, but this was rated TV-Y7 in America and C8+ in Canada; in Australia, it was rated a more reasonable PG.:

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The transformations are treated with much more gravitas. Each member shouts his name and transformation code out loud, and is seen to transform by him/herself. This is not limited to just the first transformation, either, as almost all of them in the first two episodes are this way. Similarly, a big case is made out of Optimus's inexperience at commanding. This is never referred to again once the pilot two-parter is over. The first season is noticeably more goofy than the following two. In the first few episodes, Scorponok's missiles have Maximal insignias on them, evidently the Cybertronian equivalent of marking your bullets with your victim's name. Viewers failed to pick up on this and wondered why a Predacon had weapons with the opposite faction's insignia on them, so later episodes have Scorponok's missiles bearing Predacon insignias instead.

Book Ends: In the premiere and finale, Megatron ignores tactical advice from Dinobot (or in the latter case, a clone thereof) in favor of toying with his enemy/satisfying petty grudges. In both cases, it costs him. Not only this, but the exact wording - in the pilot, Megatron counters a suggestion to blast the enemy while their shields are down with "Now where's the fun in that?", while in the finale, "Where is the honor in that?" is Dinobot's criticism to Megatron's petty decision to annihilate proto-humans with fusion cannons. Not only that, but "where is the honor in that" is the question Optimus Primal asked Dinobot when he spared him in their duel. The episode "Code Of Hero" starts with an anthropoid being bitten and killed by a poisonous snake. The final scene has another anthropoid find the stone and wood club Dinobot used to take the Golden Disk from Megatron. He uses it to break open a coconut and then defend himself against another poisonous snake. The anthropoid then cheers at the club's usefulness, implying that Dinobot triggered humanity's learning toolmaking.

Broad Strokes: The show is a follow-up to the continuity of Generation 1, but exactly which G1 continuity is left unclear because elements from both the cartoon and the comic book are used. This is justified in two ways in-universe: 1. the show is set hundreds of years after G1, and 2. the Maximal leaders have purposely obfuscated facts about the Great War to hide certain things (such as Starscream's immortality). One of the major elements of the Marvel comic in the show is the Maximals' mentions of Primus, the creator god of the Transformers and Cybertron, beginning in the second season.

comment
Meat-Sack Robot: Ultimately what the characters are, as an inversion of a regular Cyborg. One episode the Predacons sabotaged the shielding used on the Maximal base so they had to remain in beast mode far longer than they normally would, and it resulted in them becoming more like the animals they adopted. Tigatron, being an arctic scout, was more accustomed to that issue and helped them adapt their beast form traits to their advantage. Beast Machines implied this was anticipated and used by the Oracle supercomputer for a greater "technorganic" revolution on Cybertron.

Computer Voice
 Beast Wars / int_5969d512
comment
Computer Voice: The interface on both ships. It's an impassive masculine voice for the Maximals and a rather seductive feminine voice for the Predacons. The Japanese dub gave the Predacons' computer (Named NAVi-ko) a full personality. The Transformers themselves have internal computer AI that they can communicate with. They're mostly monotone but sometimes show very faint signs of emotion in dire circumstances, such as Dinobot's onboard computer when he commands a system override.

Kangaroo Court: Quickstrike is given a "trial" for treason after he tries to kill Megatron while taking part in one of Tarantulas's schemes. Megatron is the judge (complete with powdered wig), Waspinator is the defense, and Rampage and Dinobot II are the jury. After Waspinator's "brilliant" summation, Megatron asks for the verdict. Rampage and Dinobot II immediately point their weapons at Quickstrike.

The Smurfette Principle: While the original cast was entirely male, female characters Blackarachnia and Airazor were introduced in the first season. However, with Airazor getting beamed into space by some freaky alien plants midway through the second season, Blackarachnia remains the only female in half of the second and the entire third season. However, Airazor does return as Tigerhawk, a fusion of both her body and Tigatron's, but the character is presented as male.

Not due to any innate violations of Predacon morality, but because the high profile theft of Maximal artifacts and dangerous plans they have are considered dangerous to the long term goals of the majority of the Predacon faction.

Finger in a Barrel: In the episode "Code of Hero," during the sequence where Dinobot is taking out the Predacons one by one, he brings down Rampage, at least temporarily, by clogging up the largest barrel of his BFG with an entire body - Waspinator's, to be specific - just before the big crab-tank can fire it. It's probably only the third most painful thing to happen to Waspinator in the show. Later, in "Deep Metal," Depth Charge does something similar, using his tail as a projectile, clogging Rampage's missile barrel and causing the missile to explode, damaging Rampage.

Witch with a Capital "B": Tarantulas occasionally refers to Femme Fatale Blackarachnia as "witch." And no, this show does not use magic... Sometimes when show is broadcast the word "witch" is replaced with "widow," likely due to this trope.

So Last Season
 Beast Wars / int_6156eafa
comment
So Last Season: In the first season, being able to fly was a pretty big deal, as it meant races to stasis pods counted on which Maximal or Predacon flier got there first. And while the fliers weren't totally invincible, just Terrorsaur and Waspinator put together could spell some serious trouble for grounded Maximals like Tigatron or Dinobot, and in some cases, even for Optimus. By the second season, however, the ability to fly was no longer as big of an advantage as it used to be, thanks to both sides gaining more Maximal and Predacon fliers and Transmetal technology changing the landscape of the war; Megatron and Cheetor both gained flight modes and the lack of energon meant that Inferno could stay airborne for longer, while the Maximals gained new fliers like Silverbolt and Tigerhawk. Megatron lampshaded it during "Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)".

Heel–Face Turn
 Beast Wars / int_617f0563
comment
Heel–Face Turn: Dinobot at the beginning switches to the Maximals due to his distrust in Megatron, believing the plan has failed. When he realizes that Megatron hadn't failed at all, he temporarily switches back to the Predacons. He returns to the Maximals in the same episode, both out of his sense of honor and his revulsion at just how dangerous Megatron's ambitions really are. He remains with the Maximals until his Heroic Sacrifice. Silverbolt was recruited by the Predacons in his confusion after activation, but quickly switches to the Maximals when he learns that they are a much better fit for his morality than the Predacons ever could be. Blackarachnia defects to the Maximals in "Optimal Situation" after realizing that Megatron's plan would wipe her from existence. Dinobot's Transmetal 2 clone switches sides after Rampage dies and he somehow regains memories from his predecessor. While brief, his action in this moment was enough to grant the Maximals victory in the Beast Wars.

Siding with the Suffering: This happens in the climax of Season 3 with Dinobot 2, who was loyal to Megatron up to the point of Megatron activating the Decepticon starship and raining hell upon the surface of Earth. This, alongside the loss of Rampage's spark, prompted Dinobot 2 to behave more like his former self, ending with him making a Heel–Face Turn, right when the ship explodes with him on board.

You Can't Fight Fate: Subverted. After getting a disk that shows a history of Earth from the perspective of the future, Dinobot is torn on what to do with it. If experimenting with the disk proves that this trope is in effect, he will have no choice but to kill himself in the face of realizing he is not "the master of (his) fate" and there is no such thing as free will. Later, he witnesses Megatron testing the disk: He blows up a mountain whose image is recorded on the disk, and the image on the disk changes accordingly, proving that fate can be fought and one's actions and choices are not predetermined or set in stone. In this moment, Dinobot at last knows that he is the master of his own fate...though as Megatron intends to abuse this discovery to change history for the worse, Dinobot's sense of honor means there is only one course of action left to him.

In the earlier episode "Victory", Dinobot says: "Alas! Poor Tarantulas. I knew him, Cheetor." Dinobot was holding Tarantulas's severed spider legs, though, not his severed head. Dinobot also tosses out a "To be or not to be, that is the question" when contemplating Free Will vs Fate.

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Comes with the package of being a Predacon.

Even Rhinox, during his temporary Face–Heel Turn, does this. To top it all off, the original Starscream makes an appearance and does what he does best. Megs is happy to put up with all of this as long as he can use it to his advantage.

Actually Pretty Funny: In "Bad Spark", when Blackarachnia accepts Silverbolt's presence and companionship under the excuse of self-preservation and protection from Tarantulas, the two come across Tarantulas's severed limb hanging from a tree. Silverbolt says that there's no cause for alarm, since he has been disarmed. Both of them laugh after trying to hold in their snickers for several seconds. At the end of "Equal Measures", Optimus Primal scolds Cheetor for disobeying direct orders and orders him to never pull a stunt like that again. Cheetor answers that he'll never do such a thing again...until the next time he does it. Rhinox, Rattrap, and eventually Optimus as well laugh about Cheetor's statement.

Crystal Dragon Jesus: The cast refers to Primus as their creator, and the Covenant of Primus seems to be some sort of Bible analogue. Once Megatron goes right off the deep end towards the end of the series, the Covenant goes from a cultural footnote to something that outright predicts things. The idea of Primus was actually nabbed from The Transformers (Marvel), so this was actually a long-distance Continuity Nod.

Psycho Serum
 Beast Wars / int_85f0963f
comment
One early episode had Optimus be injected with a Psycho Serum that turned him into The Berserker, leading to Dinobot taking command after he heads off to attack the Predacons head on. Since the episode had previously set up that Dinobot despised Optimus' more peaceful tactics and suggested just letting him kill them all, and was currently regretting his words, it looks like he'll talk to the Predacons and resolve the situation peacefully. Instead, when he has Cheetor warn the Predacons ahead of time, they just start preparing for Optimus' arrival; ultimately, the Maximals only save Optimus by attacking the base from the outside while he rampages inside, which Dinobot had been rallying for from the beginning.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Beast Wars / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: The Stasis pods. In the first episode, the Maximals release the stasis pods to prevent them from being damaged from crashing on the planet, and at least two dozen can be counted. Considering the few number of new characters introduced and the dud stasis pods used for other purposes, it's possible several stasis pods remained around the planet's orbit by the end of the series without the Maximals mentioning them. "Other Voices (Part 1)" established that all the pods fell out of orbit when the Planet Buster was activated. The ones that weren't recovered were likely either destroyed when they crashed or were/became blanks. Expanded material, especially the comics, showed that many of the pods were recovered and activated by the Maximal spy Razorbeast and the Predacon general Magmatron, becoming many of the toy characters who didn't make it into the show and had their own adventures after the Beast Wars and during/immediately after Beast Machines.

Back from the Dead
 Beast Wars / int_8967e17f
comment
Back from the Dead: In "Coming of the Fuzors", Optimus Primal is reborn in a new body, complete with a Transmetal upgrade, because Rhinox retrieved his spark from the Matrix and re-inserted it into a blank protoform. Blackarachnia also gets this in "Crossing the Rubicon". She tries to delete the Predacon reprogramming inside her with Maximal programming and a Transmetal driver. Her attempts to reprogram herself cause the Predacon programming to retaliate and nearly kill her instead, but the Transmetal driver fuses with her body and allows her to revert back to a Maximal with a Transmetal II body.

While G1 Megatron had no way to know about it when he wrote the message, the Predacons certainly knew about Unicron and how he was defeated, and should have realized that destroying Prime would also destroy the Matrix of Leadership, leaving Cybertron defenseless in 2005 when Unicrom came a-knocking.

Timey-Wimey Ball
 Beast Wars / int_8d23f3a7
comment
Timey-Wimey Ball: How time travel works in this series is a bit inconsistent. On the Screw Destiny front: it becomes a major plot point in Season 2 that the past can be changed, and this is directly demonstrated. Not to mention the season finale where Megatron destroys Optimus Prime, causing time to twist into a pretzel for a moment now that the course and outcome of the Great War is irrevocably changed. On the Stable Time Loop front: the Nemesis is found crashed in the ocean and is raised to crash land in a jungle instead, lining up with the G1 canon. Earth also certainly doesn't have a second moon in the present; while the presumption the Vok utilized their planet-buster or else took it away at some point before G1 happened, that begs the question of why they did so. Considering that the second moon is the Planet Buster, and Optimus Primal destroys it with a transwarp detonation in order to stop it from destroying the Earth, this point at least has an explanation. This also is to all say nothing of the wreckage of the ships and the Transformers themselves, the significant geography changes caused by the Vok's planet buster, the way the Transformers directly influenced human evolution, and so forth. The series never explores the potential repercussions of any of these events, so it's not clear if they were part of the Stable Time Loop stuff where these events always happened, or part of the Screw Destiny front where they did change the future but in ways not so great as to be of note.

A-Team Firing
 Beast Wars / int_964ea66c
comment
A-Team Firing: Constantly. Given that characters can only die a permanent death when scripted, the combatants on both sides are equally incompetent at landing shots when they need to be. (The few times they do score hits, the victim is usually just knocked out or non-lethally blown to bits, as the case with Waspinator.) Rhinox takes the cake, as he once ended up literally knee-deep in brass casings firing two of his chainguns of doom without actually hitting anything. Especially jarring for Dinobot, who shoots laser with his eyes and should reliably be able to hit what he can see. The one time someone's appalling marksmanship actually gets called out, it's as a setup to an Exactly What I Aimed At moment, courtesy of Rhinox and several tons of falling rocks.

When Terrorsaur briefly takes over the Predacons after he finds stockpile of energon from a floating mountain that empowers him to overthrow Megatron by damaging him in combat, him defeating Megatron and boasting he is charge meets with predictable consequences when his Hour of Power shows up despite him trying to hide his weakness. Tarantulas follows him and attempts to take the source of power for himself and leaves Scorponok to repair Megatron. Once the Maximals destroy the mountain of energon, he is back to square one.

Family-Unfriendly Death: This is a very violent show, exploiting the Mecha-Mooks loophole as far as it can. Characters are bashed up, blown apart, shot, stabbed...and usually alive in the next episode. When someone actually dies, it tends to go even further: Tarantulas is vaporized by one of his own mad science devices, leaving nothing but his feet with smoke rising from them. The last we see of Terrorsaur is his desperately outstretched hand slowly descending into the lava. And we'll spare you the details of Depth Charge, Rampage, and Tigerhawk's death. Beast Wars Megatron popping a cap in Optimus Prime's head. He got better, but still — giant gaping hole in the head of one of the biggest adored heroes of a generation, to say nothing of Dinobot's and Transmutate's heart-wrenching deaths.

Greater-Scope Villain: The 3H comics and supplementary material for the Japanese Generation 1 continuity established that Unicron was behind Tarantulas's plan to destroy the Ark with the Decepticons and Autobots on it, as it would mean that he could destroy Cybertron without the Matrix to stop him. There's also the original Megatron, who came up with a back-up plan to have any Decepticons go back in time and kill Optimus Prime in case the Decepticons lose the war, and he had the instructions coded on the Golden Disc. It's this plan that pretty much starts off the series once the current Megatron gets hold of said Golden Disc.

Foreshadowing
 Beast Wars / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Rhinox makes a comment in the first episode that they do not even know when they are, because their FTL engines can move through time given certain circumstances. The fact the planet actually is prehistoric Earth does not come up until the beginning of the second season, mainly because the planet has two moons instead of one. Dinobot mentions Earth in the pilot as having been the intended destination for the Predacons, but the various differences from what they expected Earth to be initially fooled everyone aside from possibly Megatron, who was ultimately proven to be correct in his belief that they had indeed ended up on Earth. Episodes introducing a new character will often show the native animal their Beast Mode is based on before they emerge from their pod or starship. Halfway through the first season, Rhinox makes a comment that "one of the moons is lighter than it should be, almost as if it were...hollow." At the end of the first season, it is revealed that it is a planet-buster weapon. In "Call Of The Wild" the cheetah in Cheetor's dream falls into a lava pit. The fact that the Predacon base crashed on top of a volcanic area suggests at least one character is likely to die that way. In the second season premiere, Scorponok and Terrorsaur bite the dust... Throughout the first season, Tarantulas is hinted to know more of what is going on than any of the other characters. Among other things, he desires to recover a stasis pod to get off the planet alone as soon as possible before the above-mentioned Planet Buster hits. He also harnesses dark science and technology that is beyond any of the other Predacons' knowledge, even Megatron's, and has a scary obsession with the Vok. While in the main continuity this goes unexplored due to his death in the 3H continuity, he's actually a descendant of Unicron who wanted the power of the Vok to alter the timeline so that the Autobots and Decepticons could be erased and the Tripedacus Council would rise to unchallenged supremacy. In the episode "Other Victories", a rotating picture of the Nemesis is clearly visible on one of Tarantulas's monitors. What he is up to is revealed one episode later, ushering in the Final Battle: He had finished repairing the ship for his own use. "Code of Hero" begins with an Astronomic Zoom ending on a crow, a symbolic harbinger of the theme of death which will culminate with Dinobot's Heroic Sacrifice.

Fragile Flyer: In the bios of the cast, the flying characters (Waspinator, Terrorsaur and Airrazor) have noticeably low endurance compared to their comrades (4, 4 and 5 respectively). As a point of comparison, Rattrap, the smallest and weakest character on the show, also has an endurance score of 5.

Ancient Astronauts: invoked The Vok. Word of God says their seemingly nonsensical experiments were an attempt to accelerate Humanity's evolution so they would be able to prevent the Vok's ancestors, Generation 2's The Swarm, from devastating Earth. The Maximals themselves later take on this role, opening a school for the cave people (complete with a blackboard) so they'll be ready for when the Decepticons wake up.

Allegiance Affirmation: One of the ways the Transformers have to show their allegiance is their activation code, which can be switched at will: "Maximize" for the Maximals and "Terrorize" for the Predacons. After the events of "Maximal No More", where Dinobot ended up giving the Golden Disk to Megatron, he realized the error of his ways and swore allegiance to the Maximals for the rest of his life. Something he holds up to, as he dies in "Code Of Hero" saving the proto-humans and destroying the Golden Disk.

We Will All Be History Buffs in the Future
 Beast Wars / int_aaab7224
comment
We Will All Be History Buffs in the Future: Subverted here, of all places. The Predacons are all history buffs, but due to some Big Brother cover-up Hand Wave, the Maximals aren't, instead treating their history as (roughly) Arthurian lore. This proves useful in an earlier episode, when the spark of Starscream drops by for a visit, and attempts to bullslag his way into the Predacons' good graces with a false story of his role in The Transformers: The Movie, but falls apart into Fridge Logic when Ravage shows up, reminding us that the Transformer race is Really 700 Years Old, and thus are able to have several living witnesses of events that happened millions of years ago to verify the facts for them.

In Their Own Image: According to G1's Megatron, this was the plan passed down to BW's Megatron. By going back to when the Autobots and Decepticons were in stasis lock and killing Optimus Prime, Megatron would create a time paradox that would remove Autobots, and thus Maximals, from existence, causing the Decepticons to win the Great War and shape the future in their image.

Orcus on His Throne: For a guy that wants to gather enough energon to return to Cybertron and start a full-scale rebellion, Megatron spends a lot of time focusing on fighting the Maximals and not a lot of time on securing energon deposits or even trying to repair their ship to leave the planet. Turns out there's a pretty good reason for this: the energon wasn't his true goal in the first place, his interest is the planet itself, the prehistorical Earth, and the ability to change history through his actions here.

Throughout the first season, Tarantulas is hinted to know more of what is going on than any of the other characters. Among other things, he desires to recover a stasis pod to get off the planet alone as soon as possible before the above-mentioned Planet Buster hits. He also harnesses dark science and technology that is beyond any of the other Predacons' knowledge, even Megatron's, and has a scary obsession with the Vok. While in the main continuity this goes unexplored due to his death in the 3H continuity, he's actually a descendant of Unicron who wanted the power of the Vok to alter the timeline so that the Autobots and Decepticons could be erased and the Tripedacus Council would rise to unchallenged supremacy.

Somewhat subverted in that The Predacons and Megatron knew it was Earth they were heading for the whole time, given that Dinobot mentions Earth in the pilot as their intended destination. Despite the doubts of all the Predaons during their crash landing, Megatron is eventually proven to be right about where they ended up.

The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: If Transformers stay in Beast Mode for too long, days not hours, their animal instincts begin to take over. This is the basis for the Predacon plot in episode 19 "Call of the Wild", though Megatron does imply that sleep deprivation also plays a big part in this happening. Getting damaged as a protform can also cause this to happen like with Inferno.

Executive Meddling
 Beast Wars / int_b6de94d1
comment
invoked Out of a total named cast of twenty, only eight, not counting one-shot characters, make it out alive. This was largely due to Executive Meddling and software limitations. CG was relatively new at the time, and only a handful of characters could appear at once; add in the Merchandise-Driven nature of the franchise, and characters had to be removed to show off new toys. Luckily, the show ran with the punches and figured out how to swing the act properly each time someone had to bite it—save for Scorponok and Terrosaur and the infamous retconned death of Inferno in the second season finale.

Market-Based Title: Canadian regulations do not allow a children's show to have the word "war" in its title, thus the show is called Beasties in Canada. Don't tell the really sensitive walks of fandom this; we'll NEVER hear the end of it. (War Planets, another Mainframe production, went under the alternate title Shadow Raiders also because of that same rule.)

By the Power of Grayskull!: Maximals and Predacons shouting out their activation codes ("Maximize" and "Terrorize", respectively). At first, it seems like this is a requirement to transform to robot mode, but the trope winds up being subverted as the series wears on. After the first season, activation codes were said less often. Lampshaded at one point where Dinobot tries to infiltrate the Predacons and has to prove his allegiance by changing his activation code. Tarantulas notes that simply changing his activation code means nothing.

After Depth Charge kills Rampage at the cost of his life, it seems the gigantic explosion that results has destroyed the Nemesis and thus prevented Megatron from using it. Unfortunately for the Maximals, this isn't the end as the Nemesis rises undamaged.

Shout-Out
 Beast Wars / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The scene in "Gorilla Warfare" where Optimus stalks Waspinator before pulling him through a wall is inspired by Robocop. In "Victory", the scene where Optimus is falling from the Axalon after being shot by Scorponok in his beast mode resembles a scene in King Kong (1933). There's also this one to Superman, complete with a Suspiciously Similar Song version of Supes's Main Theme: In Dark Designs, Cheetor's "Better dead than Pred" is a pun on an anti-communism message from The '50s. Another scene, in which Optimus brandishes his swords before Megatron shoots him down, is reminiscent of the duel between Indiana Jones and the Cairo swordsman in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Dinobot pushing Scorponok into his rotor blade weapon echoes the demise of the German engineer in the same movie. Airazor's pose in "The Low Road" is a direct reference to the famous Star Wars poster. The sequence in Season 3 where Megatron is using the Transmetal Driver to create the new Dinobot II from a blank Protoform draws heavily from the classic film Frankenstein (1931). In the episode "The Probe," the search-and-rescue probes sent out from Cybertron, shot for shot, mirror the Imperial probe droids from the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. Several to classic Looney Tunes, mostly involving Waspinator getting scrapped. Rock'em Sock'em Robots battle between Rhinox and Inferno in Season 2. Colors even match. Megatrons Verbal Tic of a long drawn-out "Yeeeess..." or "Noooo..." was originally used by the character Death's Head in The Transformers (Marvel) UK. The head writers involved were very active in the online fandom. As a result, these cropped up all the time, often in the form of locations. Subsector Hooks and Grid Joona, for example, are named after fans who posted on the alt.toys.transformers usenet group at the time. At one point a concussed Waspinator refers to himself as "Wonko the Sane." While originally the name of a minor character in So Long and Thanks for All the Fish, the specific reference was to a Beast Wars fan, Benson Yee, who used this name as an online alias. Yee was recruited as a continuity consultant for the second season finale. The Beast Wars crew recognized the value of the fandom. What may have been a very subtle Shout Out was Cheetor's weapon sound effect. It sounded just like Mega Man's from the cartoon. Both were voiced by Ian Corlett. Rattrap and Optimus's dialog about the Ark, how "that ship wasn't built, it was poured" and "die-cast construction: it's a lost art" are both about how the original G1 Transformer toys (well, the better, larger ones) all had die-cast parts for at least half the body. Speaking of the Ark, it's appearance here was partially modeled after both the version seen in the G1 cartoon, as well as the USS Defiant (especially the nose area). Megatron's first appearance to Optimus after he gets his new dragon body: "Enter the Dragon!"

"End Is Nigh" Ending: In both cases, the aftermath is shown in following season, usually with a measure taken in order to prevent a full-on cataclysm: Season 1 ends with the Vok launching an anti-planetary beam just as Optimus was entering into its range. While the explosion of Optimus's coffin-shaped ship is shown as the weapon is fired, we don't get to see any effects until the next season. Cut to the screen showing the phrase "The End?" in the very center. Season 2 ends with Megatron damaging the original Optimus Prime's face in order to mess with the time-space stream and preventing the Maximals from existing. The effects of his actions are displayed, as the screen cuts to black and the words "To be continued?" are displayed.

Environmental Symbolism: There's a decent amount of this in the Maximal and Predacon bases. The Maximal base is a stable command center with a circular table in the middle that teeters over a waterfall and rugged but otherwise solid terrain is around them, showing that although the Maximals are an unorthodox crew they are good guys with a firm sense of loyalty. The Predacon base is in the middle of a lava pit that the crash split the ship open over so the Predacons literally and figuratively have to step carefully in lest they burn in their own home. There is also only one chair reserved for Megatron and the rest have to make due with hovering platforms they have to stand in, making clear the hierarchal system that unambiguously puts the leader first.

Killed Off for Real: Quite common, as a result of the competing needs of introducing new characters and keeping the cast small. Terrorsaur and Scorponok are unceremoniously bumped off at the beginning of Season 2; Dinobot's death in "Code of Hero" counts, later developments notwithstanding. Then, of course, the last few episodes are spectacularly fatal, with Tarantulas offed by the Vok; Depth Charge sacrificing himself to kill Rampage; Tigerhawk, Inferno, and Quickstrike getting gunned down by a giant space warship, and Dinobot's clone taking a leaf from his predecessor's book.

Was Too Hard on Him: Zig-zagged in "Equal Measures." In the ending, Optimus apologizes to Cheetor for reprimanding him too harshly, only for Cheetor to say no, he was right to tell him because he was being too impulsive, and from that day forward, "this cat's a team player."

In Spite of a Nail: Megatron tries to alter his present day by traveling to prehistoric Earth. His first goal is to kill humanity's ancestors so they can't help the Autobots defeat the Decepticons, and later to blow up Optimus Prime so the Autobots are leaderless during the Great War. The Maximals prevent both his efforts, and unwittingly kickstart humanity's evolution by teaching them how to make and use tools. This doesn't alter the past, since humanity would have discovered toolmaking on their own.

Character Catchphrase
 Beast Wars / int_d308cbb0
comment
Character Catchphrase: The two most notable are Megatron's "Yes"/"No" Verbal Tic and Rattrap's Once an Episode "We're all gonna die." Optimus Primal's famous "Well, that's just Prime" phrase (usually used akin to the phrase "for the love of God") is used in the presence of the actual Optimus Prime, which causes Rattrap to lampshade it.

Adaptational Weapon Swap
 Beast Wars / int_d5bd7512
comment
Adaptational Weapon Swap: The Transmetal toys only feature melee weapons, but the animated series required the cast to have guns. As such, everyone's melee weapons either function like guns (Optimus Prime's mace handles being used as machine guns when mounted to his back, Megatron's tail whip stiffening and acting like a cannon), or other parts of their body being given the ability to fire something (Cheetor's hands firing energy blasts, Tarantulas' shoulder markings serving as missile pods).

Our Dragons Are Different: Megatron's Transmetal-II dragon beast mode is the only entirely fictional animal on the series, seemingly assembled out of multiple creatures like a more advanced Fuzor.

Gambit Pileup: In the first season finale, Megatron, Blackarachnia and the Maximals all have their own individual plans for dealing with the destruction of the planet by the alien Vok, and almost all of their plans hinge on the different known factors of everyone else's plans. Tarantulas originally plans on escaping the planet in a stasis pod, Blackarachnia secretly plans to steal his stasis pod for herself and use it to escape, and Megatron purposefully allows the two of them to go about stealing said pod with the plan of forcing that pod (with the escapee still inside) to become a makeshift bomb used to destroy the alien Planet Buster. Optimus and the Maximals plan to use the pod for the same purpose, but with the idea that Optimus will escape the pod at the last second. (Megatron's version, which ultimately wins out, involves Optimus not escaping and dying in the explosion.)

Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Megatron, Terrorsaur, Quickstrike (part of him anyway), and Dinobot II (for a while) all have reptilian/dinosaur beast modes. So does the original Dinobot, though unlike the others, he is an honourable warrior. That said, he retains some of his Predacon sensibilities even after he defects to the Maximals. His clone also pulls a Heel–Face Turn by the end of the series (when Rampage dies and Dinobot II's Spark is fully formed) and performs a Heroic Sacrifice to stop Megatron's plans, crashing the Nemesis in the process.

comment
May It Never Happen Again: In the episode "Chain Of Command", Optimus Primal was captured by the Predacons and the remaining Maximals were hobbled by the fact that they don't have an actual plan for this situation. An attempt at voting for a new leader failed due to being split down the middle, until Optimus managed to send a message putting Rattrap in charge. In the aftermath, the Maximals organised a proper chain of command in order to prevent such a blunder from happening again. Invoked in the backstory of Rampage. He was created by the Maximal Elders in an attempt to duplicate the immortal Spark of Starscream note In The Transformers Starscream famously continued to exist as a ghost after his death in Transformers: The Movie, in Beast Wars this was claimed to be because he had a mutant Spark. They succeeded... but the resulting creature (codenamed Protoform X) was a murderous maniac who, among other things, massacred an entire space colony and ate some of this victims. After he was finally captured by Depth Charge, the Elders disposed of all the project's data (even going so far as to completely seal up Starscream's records so no one would ever try to duplicate his immortality again) and tasked Optimus Primal with dumping X on some dead world far from any civilisation. This had some unintended results: due to Primal and his crew getting drawn into the Beast Wars, Megatron was able to forcibly recruit X into his ranks. Even more unexpected was when Starscream himself manifested during the conflict, and the fact that the Maximals had no idea who he was due to his records being sealed put them at a huge disadvantage. Luckily, former Predacon Dinobot was more familiar with Starscream thanks to the Predacons not sealing their records.

Waspinator has a tendency to pronounce s's as z's and draw them out, resulting in things like pronouncing his name as "Wazzzzpinator". He also has a habit of devolving into muttering that sounds like buzzing. Notably, the writers hated the way he spoke so much, both because it was annoying and it ate up a lot of time, that they resorted to quickly knocking him out of fights so they wouldn't have to deal with him.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Dinobot's fight in the valley is the only time in the series where a character's on-board computer displays an ounce of inflection.

The fact that he immediately listens to and obeys Optimus in the finale without protest, and initially ignores Rampage tells you how serious the situation is.

Drama-Preserving Handicap
 Beast Wars / int_efacc623
comment
The cast's beast modes are terribly inconvenient for them in the first season, acting as a Drama-Preserving Handicap that forces them into their beast modes at times when they need to be in robot mode for mobility and/or combat. The episode "The Probe" makes this a major plot point in the climax when Rhinox is forced to transform into beast mode when operating a computer, and with the rest of the Maximals also stuck in beast mode, Optimus has to finish Rhinox's work because he's the only one with hands in his beast mode.

The cartoon made it so that Primal and Beast Megatron were instead descendants of the original characters.

comment
Make Wrong What Once Went Right: As hinted in the first episode, the real reason the Predacons traveled to the past Earth was to destroy Optimus Prime within the Ark and establish the Predacons as the rulers of Cybertron.

Deck of Wild Cards
 Beast Wars / int_f43028b4
comment
Deck of Wild Cards: Even by the standards of most Transformers series, the Predacons were particularly disloyal. All but two of them worked against the others for their own schemes at least once in the story. It says a lot of about Megatron's leadership skill that he was able to keep a group as self-interested and vicious as his crew unified at all.

Right Man in the Wrong Place: Optimus's crew were mere scientists starting an exploration mission who just happened to be the only ones in the area when a certain crew of renegade Predacons zoomed by in a stolen ship.

Mix-and-Match Critters
 Beast Wars / int_f5eda11
comment
Mix-and-Match Critters: The Fuzors, Silverbolt and Quickstrike (the former turns into a wolf with avian wings while the latter's alt mode is a scorpion with a cobra for a tail). There are more of them mentioned in the IDW comics. Magmatron recruits them. Tigerhawk, due to being a fusion of Tigatron and Airazor, whose respective beast forms are a white tiger and a hawk.

Complexity Addiction
 Beast Wars / int_f6b698ac
comment
Complexity Addiction: In the first scene of the pilot, Megatron has the Maximal ship cornered and damaged, but opts for a lateral shot so they will suffer, instead of destroying them outright. It ends up giving the Maximals a window to counterattack, causing both ships to crash-land, and is thus the reason for the whole cartoon series.

With Us or Against Us: "Law of the Jungle": after Tigatron's departure from the Beast Wars (until the Preds make him return to the Maximal side), there is a short dialogue between him and Dinobot:

Beware the Nice Ones: Whilst there are several jerkass Maximals who'll resort to morally ambiguous tactics, the nicer Maximals are not to be underestimated. Some of the Predacons learn this the hard way.

Depending on the Writer
 Beast Wars / int_fdc4fab4
comment
Depending on the Writer: Various writers have had their own interpretations of when the cartoon takes place: It was originally presented as a combination of the G1 cartoon and comics, best shown with Starscream who was depicted with his Marvel Comics body but had his G1 Cartoon backstory, having been killed by Galvatron in The Transformers: The Movie. However, the cartoon later started leaning towards primarily The Transformers as the Ark's backstory is lifted from "More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1" and the stasis-locked Autobots and Decepticons are in their stasis-locked poses from that episode. Fun Publications also went with "combination of G1 cartoon and comics". 3H Productions depicted it a sequel to The Transformers with Japan also doing this, setting it in the future of the cartoon. IDW Publishing's The Gathering and the Ascending presented it as a merger of Beast Wars, II and Neo whereas Dawn of the Predacus used a merger of the Beast Wars cartoon, the Sunbow The Transformers cartoon, the BotCon 2006 "Dawn of Future's Past" comic, and the various IDW Publishing Beast Wars comics.

Season 1 ends with the Vok launching an anti-planetary beam just as Optimus was entering into its range. While the explosion of Optimus's coffin-shaped ship is shown as the weapon is fired, we don't get to see any effects until the next season. Cut to the screen showing the phrase "The End?" in the very center.

Toyline-Exclusive Character: As usual for a Transformers show, but Beast Wars was especially Egregious in this regard; the toyline contained countless characters that never made it into the show due to the high costs of making an All-CGI Cartoon.
