Beast Wars Transformers - Season 1 - Favorite Moments

Kind of a summary of a few of my favorite bits of episodes from the second half of the 1st season. This post is long enough, so I might do a separate one of my thoughts about the characters.

Almost finished watching the 1st season of Beast Wars! I might drop a highlight review of my thoughts, so far.

I’m actually enjoying it way more than I anticipated! Wow.

I have heard some of them say: “By the Inferno” ...not sure what that means. I guess I’ll have to wait and find out who Inferno is!!!

And you’re right! A tiger just showed up! And Blackarachnia! But I already knew her from watching TFA and I heard she originally came from Beast Wars. Dumb Tarantula went and scanned himself a girlfriend lolol!!!!

Well, I decided to try and give Beast Wars a watch! Especially after getting so many recommendations. I know for many, this is a memorable show and has been listed in the top Transformers shows of all time.

I’m 6 episodes in and...it’s not bad! I’m actually liking it so far!

Megatron is so dramatic and I love it! A+++ Megatron! Even though he is literally a PURPLE T-REX...what!!?? The way he wiggles his tiny arms evilly is hilarious!!! And every other word is “GH-YESSSSSSSS!!!!” I am dying! XDD

Cheetor is adorable, as I figured he would be. The kid of the group, but his sass and overconfidence is infectious and I knew after seeing him in Cyberverse, that I would like him.

Ratrap is such a tsun tsun. He’s even more sassy and his new yorker accent is very funny. But it’s sweet that right away, despite his complaining, doubting the ‘fearless leader’ and refusing to jump into battle, he really does care and will help out...reluctantly, but he’s a good little guy. And him being so tiny and picking fights with Dinobot, who is twice his height...omg! LOLOL

Speaking of Dinobot, I half expected him to be the ‘Starscream’ of this series, but I never expected him to join the Maximals so quickly! And I was impressed how he does fight with honor, even though his ‘Megatron must die’ agenda is predictable, he doesn’t seem all that bad really...hmmm. Plus he’s a velociraptor, how can I not like him?!!

Rhinox is a very steady character, the quiet scientist and engineer and I like how he is calm and holds everyone together when Optimus isn’t around. I have a feeling I’ll like him...

I’m sorry but...the Tarantula is gross. Uck...!

And the Scorpinok is dumb...but loyal to the one true leader, Megatron, so points for him! I guess he’s similar to Lugnut without the excessive praise.

I’m still waiting for Waspinator to do more before I decide how I feel about him. I do think his voice is funny and his bright green and gold color scheme is striking. I’m just trying so hard not to compare him to a certain digimon I grew up watching!!

Optimus is a good leader, as I expected, though he tells a lot more jokes and feels less godly than I’m used to seeing. Plus I’m still trying to get used to seeing him as a gorilla lol. But he has a nice-looking bot form, and I see why he’s so iconic. He’s much different than the classic Optimus but still has the same heart...er...spark, kind but firm leader but more big brother/ troop leader than father figure, I guess. And still without hesitation jumps into danger where others...namely Ratrap, keep doubting he will do the dangerous missions. So far, I like this Optimus. His interactions with Megatron are still familiar but MY GOODNESS Megatron is just OOOOOOZING with comic book and Disney villainy! It’s delicious! He makes me laugh soooo much!!!!

So far so good, I think this show has hooked me in. I usually give a show 5 episodes to see if it’ll hold my attention. And despite the dated animation style, the characters are all interesting. And it’s nostalgic going back to this show I missed out on growing up.

We’ll see how the rest of the 1st season goes!!
