Beast Wars: Transformers

Season 1 generally

Corrected entry: In Season 1 episode "Possession" Star Scream is around only because his spark remained intact after his destruction, saying his leader was Galvitron when in reality it was Megatron who was leader of the Decepticons. The creators of the show had to make up a leader, because they knew Megatron couldn't have been the leader of 2 separate generations.

Correction: During Transformers: The Movie, the original Megatron was reformatted into Galvatron. In fact, he was the one who killed Starscream.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the first episode ("Beast Wars, Part One"), Waspinator has the ability to spit some kind of laser beam from his mouth as he fires on Cheetor. But for some reason he never uses it again for the rest of the series.

Correction: Those beams actually come from his eyes, and he does use them again in "Fallen Comrades" to open the locked stasis pod.

More quotes from Beast Wars: Transformers

Trivia: In the Season 3 episode "Feral Scream, Part 2," Optimus calls Depth Charge a "hardhead." Hardhead was an Autobot who appeared in the Transformers: Headmasters comic. Coincidentally, part of Hardhead's file reads: "The only way to get Hardhead to follow advice is to persuade him he came up with the idea himself. He knows only one way to do anything - his way." Sounds a lot like Depth Charge's mentality to me.

More trivia for Beast Wars: Transformers

Chosen answer: Terrorsaur was probably removed because his character was far overshadowed by Tarantulas. Both characters were treacherous and backstabbing towards Megatron, but it wouldn't have made sense to have two characters who served the same purpose, story-wise. Scorponok was removed because they wanted to introduce Quickstrike, and it wouldn't have made sense to have two scorpion characters on the show.
