I think a simple explanation for the Conehead Seekers ramming the Nemesis is Tigerhawks weather abilities causing confusion. Especially in G1, Thrust, Ramjet, and Dirge were shown as pretty dumb.

Ramjet is the dumb one (I mean, what would you expect with a name like his), Dirge is just the guy obsessed with death, and Thrust is pretty much the one who keeps the rest of the coneheads in check.

The Cheetor "growing up" story didn't seem completely abandoned. The "Feral Scream" two parter really had puberty undertones. From Cheets being....ahem....horny for BA, to his TM2 form giving him essentially facial hair.

Despite some of the Tex Avery moments in Beast Wars, I loved how it served as a corollary to the G1 series. Beast Machines I liked, but I had some major issues with the changes. The story was compelling, but I didn't care for the character designs, or changes in character personalities.

Obscure fact/speculation: the red scaled skin and yellow eye on Beast Wars packaging belongs to T-Wrecks.

Heard Tigerhawk was originally made for beast hunters (which was what beast machines was originally gonna be). He would have been an intermediary between Megatron and the Vok.

the cheator growing up thing is probably something they were trying to build off their old reboot character enzo who had 3 ages we saw him in, though the first 2 used mostly the same model.

Some of these, I knew, but not all. Always good to learn more about my favorite show!

Can’t help but feel the whole “Cheetor grows and ages” thing was sorta more subtlety done with his different forms (base -> Transmetal -> Transmetal II - > Sorta Beast Machines). It’s not 100% the same but I think this idea works a lot better imo.

Oh joy, cyber-puberty

Beast Machines was gonna be a lot different, and called "Beast Hunters". Megatron turned Cybertron into a technoorganic world....he was really impressed by the Vok's organic tech, remember? Cheetor, Primal and Black Arachnia were turned into techno organic servants. Rattrap, Rhinox and Silverbolt were given vehicle forms and were purely robotic. Tigerhawk was going to be a intermediary between Megatron and the Vok. The suits, however, said it was not PC, and had them change it into what we got instead, sadly. That's what I remember reading about in 2000. Not sure if it's correct ,but that's what I read, way back when.

@PurpleOwlAnimation Pity. the Transtech designs were nice.

I was on TFWiki and Teletraan I: The Transformers wiki sites and found something really fascinating about Waspinator, over the course of the show Waspinator has been damaged or taken out 59 times. I actually went over every episode to check and did a count and by Character, he was either damaged or taken down by: Optimus Primal: 9 Cheetor: 9 Rhinox: 6 Dinobot: 6 Rattrap: 5 Tigertron: 4 Alien/Vok devices: 4 Blackarachnia: 3 Una the anthropoid: 3 Scorponok: 2 (friendly fire missile twice in Equal Measures) Airazor: 1 Tigerhawk: 1 Megatron: 1 Tarantulas: 1 Inferno: 1 Transmetal Raptor: 1 Dinobot II: 1 Inferno and Quickstrike: 1 Silverbolt is the only one of the Axalon crew who has never taken out Waspinator but he himself has been taken down 3 times by Waspinator.

I didn't believe you about the last fact, and I looked it up... Never doubting you again

Waspinator is a wasp, not a bee. But as far as I know, only female wasps can sting.

That's because the stinger is a modified ovipositor, the organ where eggs come out, so only females have them. This is true for wasps, bees, and some ant species.

It would’ve been interesting to see “B-word wars“ as its own parody episode in the future.

They probably could have done the Airazor and Blackarachnia episode a different way. Have it so the two are in combat and an energon explosion traps them underground away from the rest of the cast. And they have to work together to escape. Could have also worked in insecticon into Scorponok by having him with a split personality. Both still loyal to Megatron. But one was smart and one was dumb.

Nice topic TJ if I could suggest a top 10 of rarest tarkara molds or Hasbro rarest gimmicks. Any video from your channel is always cool to view.

I always wondered why the Beast Wars transformers couldn't communicate with the animal species they scanned when the only communication on the planet was of the animal kingdom...yes, even in the 90's we knew animals communicate and presumably the reason transformers can speak to us is their ability to communicate with sentient beings...wouldn't part of being in disguise being able to communicate as 1 of the animals scanned?? I think it would've made the show even better...

some of these i never heard of. thanks for posting

Some comic writer is definitely going to shove that proto Rattrap concept onto Packrat, or try to rewrite BM Rattrap into an execution of that idea if Beast Machines comics ever happen

Hahaha great list! I only knew about Airazor being a guy in Japan. Very entertaining info!

You're MOSTLY right. The non-reproductive eusocial insects are called workers (or soliders, or could have a number of different caste names). Male bees are the only ones that really get called "drones," though. All the other eusocial insect males are just called "kings," "males," or "winged males."

I knew some of these... I certainly didn't know number one. Now if you'll excuse me, I will have r/eyebleach on standby while I sate my morbid curiosity.

9:33 I thought that the people from the current Beast Wars comics might incorporate them to their storyline.

*_BITCH WARS,_* baby!!

Now I'm glad I didn't learn about ATT until after Beast Wars. I would not have wanted to be in that position when Transmutate aired. Also happy they didn't go with the Cheetor and Rattrap ideas.

TJ, I skimmed through the Beast Wars obscure facts. I don't see this story, so forgive me if I missed it somehow. There was a scene cut from the finally that had Pimal replace G1 Megatron's spark. It's probably well known though.

16:15 Plus they DID that in Beast Machines.....and look how good THAT went for Rattrap.

If they had done that, the Transmetal version would’ve made a lot more sense. And rat trap may or may not have been my favorite character if they had went that route.

You should do a Transformers Iceberg video, if you haven't already.

Am I the only one who had a bit of a crush on Airazor?

Not to be that guy, but "drone" ants ARE actually the male ones. The term you're looking for is worker ant, which are the all-female ones.

At least Tigerhawk didn't live to see the travesty that was Beast Machines. Ok, on its own merit Beast Machines was decent but as a sequel to Beast Wars it fell short.

They never explain it in series why Tigatron or Airazor didn't become affected, something to do with being an Earth-born protoform. Rhinox himself was shielded by the CR Chamber, same for Waspinator on the Predacon ship.

Excuse me WHAT?!?

Um... that's actually backwards. Drones are always male, the winged versions are the females. Most of the Beast Wars characters are based on female body types but these two were actually the exception. Tarantulus is also technically female because male spiders don't have spinnerets to produce webs and since Tarantulus has that ability he must be female.

Some of this facs are older than me

sex swap ≠ gender swap… awesome video nevertheless!!

Technically Soundblaster and Galvatron in The Headmasters were the first gay couple in Transformers, if you read the subtitles correctly.

Maybe Inferno, Waspinator and Tigatron could be considered as transgender bots? We had IDW Arcee, Anode and Lug, so there's a precedent for it now.

so airazor is trans both ways
