Is he descended from the original Megatron or not?

>>88247015
No...

>>88243364
I thought it was MODOK from the thumbnail.

>>88247015
He's either a random grunt who decided to call himself Megatron after reading it in as the name of a mighty conqueror in a book of prophecy, or a crime boss who decided to call himself Megatron when a rival sarcastically compared him to the original.
His real name is Gnashteeth.

"Gnashteeth" technically isn't canon to the cartoon, but it fits perfectly.

This was the first show to make me care about the story and mystery of the show and feel something for the characters. Name a 90s show with better voice acting, Im having a hard time naming a single one in general.

yeeeeeessss

This is a gratifying read, as someone who misses this Megatron dearly.

>>88248205
I put Beast Wars up there with Batman TAS desu as far as great 90s action cartoons go, I think it was more consistently good than say Gargoyles which was another good show

It's a shame so many people get caught up on the dated CGI and that Transformers in general tends to seem to have a niche audience, cuz hurrr its based on toyz, otherwise I think more people would recognize it as being great as well

Agreed. It's sad that they do considering that new stuff is often not as well done despite having better tech. I'm re-watching the series now, and I don't find the graphics to be a detractor at all.

>>88252929
I recall people being down on the recurring plot of "cheetor fucks up" but I think that really went away about halfway into S1 at which point shit starts to get real.

I need to rewatch this series, it's been too long.

That's nothing new, every plot in Steven Universe was "Steven fucks up" and/or "Amethyst fucks up" for most of seasons 1 and 2.

Terrorsaur deserved better. He was neat and did things, even beyond the "I should be leader" schtick. He was goon of the week a lot.

He did a fair amount of experimenting and whatnot, but the "mad scientist" slot did wind up suiting Tarantulus much better.

Also in the vein of characters who got old fast; Inferno. The colony/royalty/my queen stuff was funny at first, but even when I was younger I found myself wondering what he was even doing on the show anymore. Hell, even Quickstrike managed to fit into the cast better, and he was a walking wild west bandit stereotype.

You're right about Terrorsaur deserving better; would've been fun to see him bro it up with Quickstrike too.

>>88258189

Terrorsaur getting his hands on Rampages spark would have been an interesting episode

or Terrorsaur praising Starscream on the ark.

Terrorsaur getting dunked by all the added flyers, like cheetor, tigerhawk and silverbolt.

Yea, I saw so much wasted potential tossing away that character in favor of comic relief

Does anyone else wish they would have released a Beast Wars soundtrack?

>>88259210
If only to have that fun blend of 90s action rock interrupted by that one track that sounds suspiciously similar to the John Williams Superman theme they used in one episode.

>>88259430
That was a nice one. I would even consider contacting whomever I needed to get things going... but given the amount of time that's elapsed for the ReBoot soundtrack..... I have my doubts.

>>88250008
The episode where Dinobot dies is my nomination best single episode of any cartoon ever. I cry every time.

Then the fucking ruined it by bringing him back to life with 2edgy4me new design

>>88259668
To be fair there was actually an episode planned called "Dark Glass" where Rattrap -understandably pissed off at Megatron for creating a new "Dinobot", compiled a data track of Dinobot's personality and tried to forcibly upload it into the new Dinobot. The episode ended with him succeeding in the upload, but failing to actually affect Dinobot II in any way, and he wound up fleeing, defeated.

Said episode was scrapped in favor of "Transmutate".

Incidentally though, that does go a ways towards explaining why Dinobot II suddenly reverted to something almost resembling his old personality when Rampage died.

>>88259026
>Terrorsaur getting his hands on Rampages spark would have been an interesting episode

This would have been amazing. Someone should have gotten the spark from megatron. Tarantulas, black arachnia, hell even Rhinox. Imagine Rhinox is stuck in some canyon and has the spark and makes rampage help him out. Or anyone. Thats a good idea that could have been interesting. Megatron never does lose it or have anyone steal it and have a big ass slave at their command. I bet if terrorsaur was alive in season 2 or 3 this would have been a story.

>>88259773
>Said episode was scrapped in favor of "Transmutate".
That can't be right because that was a season 2 episode.

>>88259773
>Said episode was scrapped in favor of "Transmutate".

How could that be? That episode is like, right after dinobot dies and before the transmetal clone.

Plus Id always heard they wanted elements of transmutate in rattrap and dropped the concept and later revisited it in a single episode.

Ive heard a LOT of different things about Dark Glass and there doesnt seem to be much consensus on it. Either way, interesting idea. The show had a lot of concepts and ideas that didn't get made. We easily could have had a few more episodes each season, but.... budget. Imagine if season 2 and 3 were both 26 episodes.

>>88249855
It would've been so easy to fuck up Megatron, but they managed to nail his character and come up with a backstory that goes well in the Beast Wars cartoon universe if you squint.

Optimus Primal was a fool for not being fully ruthless enough to destroy the magnificent, resplendent Megatron

>>88258189
Inferno just turned into another Waspinator. I did like the gag at the ark entrance when he tried to attack it by himself though.

>>88259773
Always figured Rampage dying had something to do with that. You see his original body flash a couple times when it happens but that would have been better.

A reminder that this voice actor was Akane's father on Ranma 1/2

>>88243364
>>88256392
>>88258150
Am I the only one who wants to see him show up in IDW Transformers? It'd be nice to see him scheming against everyone and I think he'd make a perfect foil for repentant Autobot Megatron.

>>88257900
>tumblr as fuck

They're not though. It's just that their innate species nature prevents a lot of Tumblr shit: no genders as such, no races as such, no sexual preference as such (then again, there are probably Cybertronians who object to relationships between humanoids and beastformers like Ravage), just income inequality and discrimination based on your alt mode - and that's strictly individual.

>>88262968

Yes. Unremittingly yes.

>Be created as an experiment
>Be immortal
>Be insane
>Get banished
>Spend almost your entire life in stasis
>End up on alien planet
>Everybody hates you, is terrified of you or tries to use you

>Have your soul sliced in two
>Finally be confronted with your mortal enemy in final battle

No wonder he was laughing when Depthcharge was about to kill him.

>>88263850

It funny how the roles seemed reverse in their final confrontation. Depthcharge was too haunted by what happened. He deserve better.

>>88263607
I've been wanting to see this Megatron again for years. Transformers is hard for me because I don't really like any of the other Megatrons, barring Animated (Prime was okay). 90's nostalgia is ripe for exploitation nowadays, and it's about time Beast Wars got some new attention.

>>88266145
It always bothered the hell out of me that we're supposed to believe characters like Scorponok and Terrorsaur just so happened to be named after animals they'd acquire as alt modes later on in their lives.

>>88266305
Yeah. This part always seemed strange to me.

At least if they had other names before they turned into their current personas, then I'd understand.

Also big pity they were killed off at the beginning of S2 of Beast Wars.

We could've gotten Transmetal Terrorsaur and Scorponok. But instead they got a lava bath.

At least later media gave them justice. Beast Wars Uprising actually gave them Transmetal bodies from the get-go.

>They're not though. It's just that their innate species nature prevents a lot of Tumblr shit: no genders as such, no races as such, no sexual preference as such

Look nobody here is stupid, we all know Transformers that look like Arcee are "girls" and Transformers that look like Optimus are "boys" despite being robots, and we all know that the only reason they make Transformers that are seemingly the same "sex" have romance in the first place is tumblrbait, there is no reason for it other than that

Transformers really don't need to have romance to begin with, but in the case of say....Tigatron and Airazor, or Silverbolt and Blackarachnia, everybody knew one was a girl and one was a guy, despite not actually having genitals

>>88274036
Cheetor is the default "fan favourite.*" The Bumblebee of the show. It's natural he's near the front of the line, especially in a Japanese toy line.

*May not be anyone's favourite.

>>88269126

Its not he was unpopular, waspinator was more popular. They didnt have the budget for the full cast to stay on. Inferno was also a more recently released toy and more expensive, so you keep him around to sell that. It was out with the old in with the new. Cheetor was the obvious go to mascot. Yellow, spunky, you need one in a franchise.

rumor is doug parker had trouble doing the voice. He stayed on at the company doing voice casting/directing.
