  • Anybody remember when Primal was a bat and Megatron was an alligator?

  • @WebVManReturns Yes, although it was a short-lived toy-only thing.

  • And also what i mean is hes in the spot he was when he was on the other ship and was headed for sun. Like the control chair. Thats why i was confuzed.

  • Dude no same ship..... I ment i was confuzed befor. I get it now after re watching beast wars i just ment if the auto bots and decepticons were in the same place off line on the arc as they were in the g1 meaning the developers of the show like optimus was bent over a computer in the g1 not in te chair they find hin in , in beast wars

  • The Maximals and Predicons, who are decendants of the Autobots and Decepticons, ended up going back in time to pre-historic Earth. They weren't going to initially link the planet that they first crashed in ep 1 as Earth, but I guess the writers changed their minds as the series progressed. Since they decided it's Earth, they linked G1 into it as well.

    Beast Machines follows this story arc. I'm hoping that's not canon, it was an embarrassment.

  • so this is taking place pre autobot vs. decepticon correct?

  • Thxs so much i get it now:p it would have helped tho if optimus and te other auto bots were in the same place they were in the first episode of transformers:p

  • Can anyone tell me how they find prime in the ship that he was already rescudedd from in transformers season 3 and 4 ...... The quitizon saved him and and scientists saved him from the same ship primal jist saved him from.....

  • @boomer572 This is not the same ship.

    Beast Wars is set in the past, in the period between the Autobot ship, the Ark, crashing on Earth, and the characters being re-awakened in 1984. The Ark formed the basis of the Autobots' headquarters/base.

    The ship that Optimus Prime was flying in "Dark Awakening" and "The Return of Optimus Prime", when Optimus was going to spring the Quintesson trap and the humans pulled him out before it exploded - that was just a small, unremarkable shuttle.

  • @boomer572 wrong ship, this is the ship that was stuk in the volcanoe in g1, watch the very first transformers g1 episode and you should get it, beast wars is set in the prehistoric era of earth, some how they went back in time and got stuck there

  • Well that's just Prime.

    Well, what's left of him.

  • @Evilgidgit4Ever Well...thats just PRIME...Rat Trap "Ohh,whats left of him anyway---*Gets SMACKED*

  • The best of the Autobots and the best of Maximals having to work together so that both will live!

  • *A few million years later*

    Optimus: Man, I had the weirdest dream that I saw a monkey version of myself....weird....

  • REPAIR! REPAIR! REPAIR!

  • i wonder if optimus ever woke up during BW. would have been interesting

  • 4 million years later....... optimus wakes up hey what happend to that mutant piniata who smelled like fecal matter ?

  • aside from that little muck up, which isn't that bad unless you dwell on it, that was AMAZING.

  • "That's just Prime!"

    "What's left of him..."

  • @DukeOfRigel aaand BITCH SLAP!

  • @DukeOfRigel *Smacks in the face*

  • i believe the matrix is the remains of the previous primes sparks so when prime joins the matrix his spark joins with the rest, in the movie it looks like a crystal probably because it has contacted an evolved spark (primal's) and been left dormant for thousands of years and so it became what we saw, prime could be revived later (twice) when the other autobots killed in the film could not, because prime's spark was still in the matrix and so when his body was reactivated it was pulled back.to it

  • Definitely one of the best series out of the transformers. For any newbies, don't listen to the haters cause they never gave it a chance. It has really good quality story telling and you'll be a fan in no time. Beast Wars doesn't get enough credit for being one of the Transformer greats.

  • Ratrap said what we all wanted to say.

  • BEST Series ever

  • This episode made me totally mad because Optimus didn't say one friggin word.

  • 3:14 Robot Love

  • Let's just pretend that this isn't canon.

  • @robberblood Why? And it is.

  • @AeonMagnus same here i want to know to and it is freaking cannon

  • @robberblood why?

  • @robberblood good idea. I'll do the same with your comments.

  • @robberblood

    Works just fine within the original cartoon's canon. Not that it really matters, considering how terrible the old cartoon was.

  • @ChainX SCUSE PLEASE? you should be burned at the stake for saying such things.

  • @TheTraveler12

    Your inability, or perhaps unwillingness, to admit that the original cartoon was nothing more than an ugly, brain dead, trumped up weekly toy commercial for wee children, is both sad and shameful.

  • @ChainX pardon me if its a cartoon i grew up with. and having seen the slow death of GOOD cartoons with the early 90's till now that makes me sad that you cant see the quality and life lessons portrayed in the cartoons of the 80's. cartoons now are empty things with no soul or useful messages.

  • @TheTraveler12 If you can find me one of these laughable life lessons that Beast Wars didn't cover in it's story and plot, I'll literally eat a Transformer. Good luck.

  • @ChainX i never specifically said beast wars never covered life lessons. but G1 did it first. so did he-man, thundercats, swat kats, samurai pizza cats, galaxy high, the snorkels, jabber jaw. the list goes on and on. all of them before beast wars. beast wars just felt like a cashin attempt with new toys.

  • @TheTraveler12

    The Transformers was a terribly written, terribly produced, terribly shallow 80s cartoon, designed around selling toys, rather than telling a story. The life lessons you initially championed are rudimentary, and readily present in most any action adventure cartoon(including modern ones), and in many cases, in a form not so painfully insulting to the intelligence of it's viewer, which The Transformers certainly was.

  • @ChainX As much as I agree with you (mostly), I gotta say this:

    TRANSFORMERS BASED AROUND SELLING TOYS! MORE SHOCKING NEWS AT 11!

  • @MisterHeroman

    I mentioned that a number of times, but thanks for repeating it in all caps. That really helped.

  • @TheTraveler12

    If you place monumental important on nostaliga, care little for productions values, less for decent writing, and champion something for doing it first, rather than doing it well, then your love of the original Transformers cartoon is very much explained.

    I, however, do not share you nostalgia soaked bias, and judge The Transformers on it's Merits, of which it has very few.

  • 4 million years later optimus prime: ughhh what happened to that mutant mexican piniatata that smelled liked fecal matter

  • 4 million years later...

    Optimus: Ugh, I just had the weirdest dream that I was a monkey.

  • @gonotgentleman Wrong Optimus.

  • @gonotgentleman Optimus Prime was never "a monkey".

  • @AeonMagnus its a joke about this scene, Optimus primal took Prime's spark to protect it while the repairs were made to prime's body.

  • @digitalrailroader I know that. I posted the videos that depict it.

    Why would Optimus Prime have memories/a "dream" of being "a monkey"?

  • Why are the Autobots HUGE compared to the Maximals...

  • @ThePlank1991 Some time in the future, the Transformers go through the Great Upgrade, from Autobot and Decepticon to Maximal and Predacon, adopting smaller, more energy-efficient bodies in the process. Google: Transformers Great Upgrade

  • @AeonMagnus What like a patch..?

  • cool

  • 2:19 the autobot symbol is upside down!!

  • @AnyBodyWannaPeanut "AS YOU WISH!!!"

    

  • And I thought they were the same O.o

  • @eltipoedy66 Nope.

  • Well that's just prime.

  • this was my favorite show growing up as a kid!

  • so beast wars takes place in the future? this makes it a whole lot worth of watching

  • wait so wait what the hell?

    How did the Ark and the autobots end up on Earth at the dawn of humankind?

  • @Arcilios They crashed 4 million years ago, as shown about 8 minutes into the original 1984 pilot episode.

  • @AeonMagnus

    But HOW did the autobots crash? Im talking autobots not maximals. Why did they crash 4 million years ago I dont get it? Did they try to get back home after leaving earth (circa our time) and then get sent back in time or something?

  • @Arcilios

    i know the beast wars are set in the future, and they went back in time, but if they went back in time so far and the ark and nemeses were already crash landed on prehistoric earth then how the f does that make sense? That means that the autobots and deceptecons would have had to have crash landed on earth 4 million years ago, and then what... sat in their respective spots until 1984?

  • @AeonMagnus

    opps never-mind answered my own question and figured it out, thanks

  • @Arcilios BTW, the "More Than Meets The Eye" G1 first episode is in my channel. Search for MTMTE in my Uploads section.

  • @AeonMagnus

    Ok ill check it out

  • Rattrap was Dude Rattrap was fracking Awesome yeah he was a pessimist but he was cool.

  • TRUKKMUNKEY TIME!

  • Oh man, i forgot how irritating rattrap was!

  • @MrBigredful Dude Rattrap was fracking Awesome yeah he was a pessimist but he was cool.

  • To save his ancestor, Optimus Primal temporary puts Optimus Prime's spark into his body for a while until Optimus Prime's body is repaired. While having his ancestor's spark in his body, Optimus Primal got a new, bigger, more powerful and more advanced body with 4 modes and still have this new body after putting Optimus Prime's spark back to his body and restored the time-space continum.

  • @unclebobpart3 Because of its epic G1-based and character-driven stories, characters that are fully realized and multi-faceted, and ground-breaking (at the time) animation?

    Did you actually watch it?

  • @AeonMagnus YOU OWNED HIM! May his spark join the matrix.

  • 1:24

  • Optimus Prime: *Wakes up* Who the slag are you? Some kind of forest freak or something? Why are your hands,so big? Why does your animal form look ugly..

    Primal: T.T Waaahhhhh!!

    Rattrap: Eh??

  • what season is this?

  • @TransformersFan5000 Season 3.

  • @AeonMagnus

    thanks.

  • wait so other sparks can survive outside of a living body

  • @Nickster891 as far as I know the only spark that could for as long as it wanted was starscream's mutant spark. the rest were either in tanks or weren't outside a living body long enough to die

  • @Arthus850 okay then

  • Why r they in animal forms?

  • @202halofreak Because it's Beast Wars.

  • @AeonMagnus wat i ment was did something happen to them that turned or change them?

  • @202halofreak When they arrived on Earth, they scanned native beast modes to protect them from energon radiation.

  • @AeonMagnus ok thxs

  • 8:14

    Is this when we kiss?

  • 03:13 Pause, and cream your pants at your leisure.

  • If he was actually fully conscious when he came back online for that brief moment, then it means that 2 leaders who who would become legendary amongst their people {Autobots/Maximals} actually did meet for about 30 seconds and didn't exchange a word. But then againIf Prime remembered Primal at all after comming back online in 1984 it may have been like if it was a dream that you sort of remember but can't fully recall it. No Cybertronian robot modes but then they didn't have them either in G1.

  • @thunderstudent The Binaltech saga touches somewhat on this, but is more about familiarity of sparks, rather than remembering by sight.

    In the final chapter of the story, as Convoy faces off against Black Convoy and seems to be losing, a spark that has arrived from the future merges with him to power him up. Convoy feels the experience is vaguely familiar; the resulting combined power allows him to easily reflect Black Convoy's final kill attack, obliterating him.

  • omg primal is tiny compared to prime

  • @fire5736 In transformer future transformers eventually evolve after the great war to smaller more advanced and energon efficient bodies, gaurdian spec transformers still retain most of the hieght and strength of the orginals but are uncommon.

  • @twinturboteen18 cheers

  • gotta love rattrap:)

  • Is this a real episode???

  • @MrSparking2 Yes.

  • @MrSparking2

    Yap it is, it's an episode in beast wars

    To save the future they had to save Prime

    If this helps>The past is the Tranformers robots then they crashed onto earth then beast wars happened then beast machines and then finally 4 million yrs later the original transformers awaken in 1984 and that's the G1 series :P

  • "That's just prime."

    "Well what's left of him anyway..."

    *BONK*

  • One question; How does G1 prime have his earth form already?

  • @optimussentinel66 He doesn't. Beast Wars is just painstakingly recreating G1's lack of forethought about pre-Earth forms. So you'll have to ask the first few minutes of G1's MTMTE premiere episode about that.

  • @optimussentinel66 If you looked at G1 prime on Cybertron you would have noticed that all the transformers look the same be fore and after the crash landing of the ark

  • @Zcrazy123 It gets kinda weird: Thundercracker and Skywarp still have F-15 wings and cockpits when their altmodes had neither, most of the seen Autobot cars have wheels despite being originally hovercrafts, and so on. I have heard one continuity explain it as the two sides having received transmissions from Earth and modified themselves accordingly, but that almost certainly doesn't apply here.

  • @Izayoiaki24 Well The idea of Cybertron picking up signals from earth is possible but their is one problem

    when they where on Cybertron it was 4 Million years in the past my guess is they had those parts in case the form they took had them like the forms they had earlier in WFC

  • @Zcrazy123 Which is why it really is just a hastily prepared cartoon with continuity and mythology bolted on later. More damning is that Transformers: Cybertron did the same thing, 20 years later when they should have known better.

  • @AeonMagnus ........ARE YOU INSULTING G1?

    LADIES AND GENTALMEN THIS GUY IS INSULTING TRANSFORMERS G1!!!!!

  • @Zcrazy123 Oh please. Looking at it objectively as it truly was instead of through rose-colored childhood memories is not insulting.

    G1 had continuity problems; it's simply a fact. Constructicon origin, Dinobots being built without Vector Sigma, Autobots flying or not flying.... Mythology: Quintessons, Primus, you think they were thought of in 1984?

    The reason is that the series was made on a rushed schedule, and also not designed with the expectation that it would last 3 years, let alone 27.

  • So why did G1 depict the TFs with Earth vehicle-influenced robot modes before they were awakened? You can come up with all the in-universe rationalizations you want but the real answer will always be a real-world one: they didn't think about or plan for it in the cartoon, didn't have the time or budget to design them, or they underestimated the kids' ability to deal with - or desire for - Cybertronian robot modes.

    And just cos I recognize that doesn't mean I'm "insulting" it.

  • Respond to this video... Imagine if optimus prime woke up!

    Megatron: ERRR what could be worse than optimal optimus?

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

    Primal:I know one thing worse Megatron ME

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

    Prime: AND ME!!!!

    Megatron: O_O AH F&%$!!!!

  • @optimussentinel66 that was actually his cybertronian form ... he only changes in appearence in vehicle mode

  • The matrix was supposed to be with Rodimus Prime.

  • @bumblerumble24 This series is set in the period between the Ark crashing on Earth and 1984 when they're re-awakened. Optimus Prime has the Matrix.

  • @AeonMagnus Sorry, I don't watch this show, that's why , I only watch G1, Armada, and Energon, and Cybertron, never watched this, that's why...

  • @bumblerumble24 You should. It's got great stories and great characters, and it ties in nicely to the G1 mythology.

  • @AeonMagnus So, does it take place before G1, before they were re-awakened? like 4 million years ago?

  • @bumblerumble24 The characters are from about 400 years into the future. They travel into the past, to some point between the Ark crash and the re-awakening.

  • wait if he combined himself and his ancestor optimus prime wouldn't he turn into a semi insteead of a fighter jet or w/e it's suppose to me

  • @racinggreg2011 Since there's no precedent, the rules for mystical swirly spark-combining magic are vague at best.

    And Optimus Prime wasn't a semi yet. Optimal Optimus is a four-changer which includes a tank mode, which could well represent Prime's current pre-Earth form. The jet mode could well be a holdover from Primal's Transmetal flight mode, rather than anything to do with Prime.

  • @AeonMagnus oh yea i keep forgetting this is way before humans are evolved and there were no vehicles yet u do have to admit it's easy to forget when ur watching this and u c him and he looks exaactly the same in the past as he does after he wakes up

  • @racinggreg2011 It's probably external factors, since Megatron's transformation into a dragon was likely influenced by his dip in the lava during his reformatting. Maybe his alt. modes are influenced by what he could do and what his ancestor could do?

  • They reconned it to make Optimus even more noble.

    He placed his own life below protection of the Matrix by sealing the Matrix behind his Spark Chamber

  • you'd think optimus would be used to dying lol.

  • 3:14 NO DONT TOUCH YOU WILL UNRAVEL THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE

  • the music in 3:12 - 3:19 reminded me of the episode that introduced Airazor.

  • and thats how Optimus Prime became a fire truck

  • Man this brings back memories. Such sweet, good memories.

  • What happened to all the other Autobots and Decepticons that were scattered about the bridge?

  • @htomsirveaux42 Watch: BW: Megatron kills Optimus Prime.

  • @AeonMagnus it doesn't show what happened to all the other Transformers.

  • @htomsirveaux42 It shows they were there. And nothing happened to them, since there's no BW storylines that involve them, and the Maximals left with everything "as it should be".

  • uhh optimus prime is 5 time as big as primal and can hold the matrix but primal held it ssooo did it shrink?

  • Optimus Prime: (Four Million years later) "Ugh... wait... what happened to that mutant who looked like me and smelled like fecal matter?"

  • Oh wow I can't belive that Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal are to diffrent Mecas.

  • 1:33 so does primal absorb the matrix or the spark?

  • @piplup2009 The spark. The Beast Wars writers admitted they didn't understand G1 Optimus Prime's death scene.

  • @AeonMagnus I would really love to know how they could misunderstand that.

  • okay there's something i don't get, Beast Wars and Beast Machines timeline was MILLIONS of years before G1, but at the end of Beast Machines, Cybertron was turned Organic, how did it became Technological again?

  • @Axel7043 They transwarped back to their time at the end of Beast Wars. The Technorganic Cybertron is in the timeframe after G1 and the original Great War.

  • now i realize that primal is not prime because prime a autobot and primal is a maximal

  • Why is Optimus Prime like 100x bigger than the beastwars transformers?

  • @achang34 When they went through the "Great Upgrade" from Autobot into Maximal, they downsized into more energy-efficient forms.

    This also ensures Optimus Primal does not transform into a truck-sized gorilla, or Rattrap into a car-sized rat.

  • @AeonMagnus

    I am suprised some one hasn't stepped up yet and made some stop motion episodes or something. There are so many not shown ideas from Beast Wars that some one could make. I really want to.

  • @AeonMagnus LOLOLOLOLOL! Truck-sized gorilla and car-sized rat huh? Now I can imagine that.

  • @AeonMagnus i can imagin a truck driving, a gorilla on the trailor smacking the the little bunny and crash down

  • @AeonMagnus no wrong if you watch the botcon exclusive theft of the golden disc they were maximals and predacons they did turn small when beast wars start they were not autobots or decepticons back then well yay cryotek did have a predacon and decepticon simble if you think im wrong explain

  • @Aeonmagnus they were cars tanks trucks and motorcycles

  • Comment removed

  • @kennyscott11 The Great Upgrade came before all that.

    "They" in "they went through the Great Upgrade" is the entire Autobot race, not just Optimus Primal and his team.

  • @achang34 Just like any technology, the more advanced it becomes the smaller it gets. Just like cell phones and computers.

  • does anyone know what season or name of the episodes these beats wars episodes were

  • @ming746 Like all my clips, the episode name is in the notes. A quick google of the episode name (along with "Beast Wars") will reveal it to be season 3.

  • @ming746 this episode was called "optimal situation" and was the first episode of season 3

  • Why is Black Arachnia helping the Maximals? Isn't she a Predacon?

  • @GeorgedIDK you didnt watch it when you where a kid she switched sides

  • @ninjakid164

    I only saw a couple episodes via a Beast Wars DVD that came with a Rhinox I bought a while back.

  • @GeorgedIDK o sorry your about 3 to 4 yrs younger then me so your not old enough to know that. 

  • @ninjakid164

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it sounds as though you're flaming me for something as trivial as age.

  • @GeorgedIDK i wasnt after i made the first comment i looked at your channel and i found out that you were younger then i was and i was about five to six when this episode aired on tv and i noticed that you would be too young to remember it so i made that comment. i wasn't trying to argue i was trying to apologize for the first on. sorry about that :-p

  • @ninjakid164

    Me too. I just got angry because I thought you were assuming that just because I was younger, I didn't know the first thing about Transformers.

  • @GeorgedIDK o ok i would never think that. i just wish they aired all of the old transformers .im about to buy the complete series of the sequel to this " beast machine''. i wish i would find the complete series of beast wars tho :-p

  • @ninjakid164 If you can't find it on DVD but know how to torrent, I realize it's non-kosher but search isohunt for "Beast Wars". There should be a fairly well seeded torrent there, about 12GB.

  • @ninjakid164

    Me too, ninja.

  • As awesome of a crossover as this is between the two TF series, there's one thing that still confuses me...How in the hell can Optimus Prime have the body of a cab over engine tractor trailer that won't exist for 4 million more years?

  • @jru42287 You'll have to ask the G1 premiere episode about that, but supposedly he doesn't. If he was to transform, he would turn into a Cybertronian vehicle mode, rather than an Earth truck, just as Wheeljack, Bumblebee, Jazz and the Decepticon jets did. It just so happens that his (and everyone else's) robot modes resemble Earth vehicles and such. When G1 was written, they didn't think too much about Cybertronian robot modes. We're a little more sophisticated now, though...

  • @AeonMagnus Clearly, I'm just reading too much into it haha.

  • @AeonMagnus I assumed that they picked things that looked close to what they were, Prime picked a red truck cause he was a red truck and so on.

  • @Crazyredemu Sure it makes sense for him to become an Earth-style truck because it looks like him. But that wasn't the question. It's the other way around: why does he look like an Earth-style truck? Why does Bumblebee have VW feet before they arrive on Earth?

    Either they thought 80s kids would be confused by robots they only just met suddenly looking different, or they didn't deem it important enough, considering they'd only be on Cybertron for a couple of mins. There's no in-universe reason.

  • @AeonMagnus oh....They were lazy I guess lol

  • Optimus Prime's face got blown off by BW Megatron, that bastard!
