BM S1E08 : Revelations Part 2 : Descent 2/2

2:35 Duh, it is pretty much the only way.

[elvendragon]

I did the story so far, but I have mentioned these new character designs are UGLY AS SIN? I know. It's nit picky . But seriously. Were the artists on drugs when they made the rough sketches for these forms?

[PoopyStinkerson]

@elvendragon Rattrap and Cheetor have really cool beast modes, but all of their transformations looks like vomit.

[blizrfiz]

pause at 3:26. see that red circle on the left side of the screen? That's one of Rattrap's wheels :D

[vidman1976]

So why didn't the Maximals fight back? Transmetals have previously been shown to be insanely powerful, especially Blackarachnia and Cheetor. Even if they didn't, surely assuming vehicle modes or beast modes would let them escape the Vehicons easily?

Again, the problem of Optimus Primal somehow turning into his pre-Transmetal body.

[blizrfiz]

@vidman1976 its likely they realized they were outmatched and tried to fall back and find shelter. that or they didint realize they were being attacked by sparkless drones and didint want to hurt their fellow cybertroniens.

[vidman1976]

It's worth noting that Silverbolt and fellow Fuzor Quickstrike had previously been able to resist the Vok's Metal Hunter weapon that did not affect Transmetals. Presumably the properties that saved him then wasn't enough now.

Presumably, as of now nearly all memory gaps are filled in, and the Maximals are up-to-date with events as much as the audience.

[vidman1976]

The green gas that is seen during the flashback is presumably a version of the transformation virus. To Transmetals, it de-volves them (if it makes sense) into their pre-Transmetal forms, then locks them in their alternate mode. Silverbolt and Rhinox, meanwhile are paralyzed and are unable to move, being locked in their robot modes instead.

[vidman1976]

In Thrust's flashbacks, we see Optimus Primal, Blackarachnia, Cheetor and Rhinox in their season three bodies.

Since Megatron had broken free of the Autobot shuttle while they were still in Transwarp jump, he presumably arrived on Cybertron some time earlier than the Maximals, allowing him to conquer the planet in the interim. Time travel is complex stuff, kids!

[vidman1976]

First appearance of the portable spark extractor.

Technically, this episode features the first appearance of Rhinox since his disappearance from the beginning of Beast Wars. The Tankor personality is stated to be a 'shell program', but it is arguable whether it is an AI, a wholly different being, or a split personality of Rhinox's.

We get to see what exactly happened between the end of Beast Wars and the beginning of Beast Machines.
