Beast Wars: Mistakes and Animation Odds

Most of you will, when watching your Beast Wars tapes, DVDs or even viewing an episode on TV, have picked up on some odd things that feature in the BW TV show. Sure, bwtf.com lists some of them in their episode summaries, but not all, as some observant fans have pointed out! Inspired by a thread at the message board, this page is a list of the mistakes and oddities to watch out for next time you watch a Beasties episode!

Possesion - Anyone notice how Waspinator's Predacon symbol on his head changed to a Decepticon symbol when he was possessed by Star Scream?

The Low Road - In the scene where Scorponok is searching for more of a virus Megatron wanted (he's in Tarantulas' lab), if you look closely in the background a picture of Megatron in beast mode is visible, with darts on it!

When the Maximals arrive in Scorponok's lab, look at Airazor! She's leaning on Optimus' leg!

Double Jeopardy - When Terrorsaur has taken over the Predacons and is making his speech, watch Rattrap in the background. He's behind Terrorsaur making funny hand movements!

Law of the Jungle - In the end scene where Tigatron decided to help Dinobot and Optimus fight Terrorsaur, Waspinator and Inferno, he leaps in front of Dinobot and Optimus and transforms to robot mode. He waves a finger and says to the Preds something like: "You'll hurt no more beasts today!" Watch in the background, Optimus and Dinobot are shaking their heads and fingers too!

Call of the Wild - At the end of 'Gorilla Warfare' Dinobot gave Optimus some flowers. Watch out for them again in Optimus' room!

The Probe - In a scene where Cheetor tries to come to Tigatron's aid he says to Tarantulas "Hold it right there, Chuckles! Now don't make any funny moves...." Tarantulas shifts his leg and scratches his rear (rather quickly, I might add.)

Before the Storm - At the start of the episode, as the camera moves up from Megatron's T-rex hand, in the background a portrait of another purple bot (similar to him, but not the same) is visible. Some have suggested this might be a relative of Megatron:

Misc: Almost every time a symbol is visible on one of Scorponok's missiles, it's a Maximal one!

Coming of the Fuzors: Part 2 - In coming of the Fuzors part one, when all the Predacons and Dinobot, Cheetor, and Rattrap are about to battle, all the Predacons are aiming at the Maximals. Tarantulas and Waspinator are there, but in Coming of the Fuzors part 2 after all the missiles hit and explode Tarantulas and Waspinator just show up and Megatron says, "Good, reinforcements have arrived."

- After Rattrap tosses up a stone and the Predacons blow it to a tiny pebble, watch the optics of RT, Dinobot and Cheetor when they look at the much smaller stone:

Code of Hero - At the cremation scene at the end of the episode, if you look closely at the onlookers (Rattrap and Rhinox) you will notice that Rattrap is back in his season one form!

Maximal No More - When Rattrap switches on his infra-red, you will see in the corner of his vision a floating piece of Swiss cheese.

Transmutate - At least I think this is from Transmutate. All I know really, is that Rattrap looks really...wrong here.

Tangled Web - When the Predacons are about to leave and carry out their task, Tarantulas is missing the green eyes on his chestplate.

- When Quickstrike makes his speech where he says 'Destruction instead of construction!' apparently his snake hand switches from left to right in different scenes.

The Agenda [Part 1] - Waspinator and Inferno are setting something up outside the Maximal base. However, Inferno seems to be somewhat grounded, since he's missing his helicopter-rear!

The Agenda [Part 2] - In the scene where Ravage is speaking to Megatron (behind bars in his ship) Ravage says: "All autoguns, target the prisoner", watch his hand when he says this - he does a Doctor Evil impression with his pinkie finger!

Misc: When we are in Dinobot's room, the skin of the cloned Dinobot who appeared in the episode 'Double Dinobot' is occasionally visible as a wall ornament!

Deep Metal - Depth Charge switches between having four and five fingers in this and some other episodes.

Changing of the Guard - When Rattrap is speeding away from inferno in vehicle mode, you can once again see a floating piece of Swiss cheese in his P.O.V.

- After Rattrap's little submarine has stopped bouncing among all those rocks on the beach like a pinball, you can see 'Tilt' in his eyes (like a pinball machine!) and his tongue is lolling out.

Master Blaster - In the scene where Rattrap and Cheetor are lugging around crates, in the background, sitting between two large crates, is a stuffed panda bear!

Feral Scream Part Two - I'm sire most people have noticed the cool things we see as the camera zooms in on Cheetor in his room. Here are a few of them!

Toy replica of the Axalon, a solar system play-set

A Unicron toy, a Predacon trophy, a photo of season 1 Cheetor and Optimus

A picture of Blackarachnia and three tail whips from his TM form

Proving Grounds - After TM2 Dinobot has been struck by Blackarachnia's cyber venom arrow, it seems his eye changed shape!

Nemesis Part One - As Optimus is making his 'Covenant of Primus' speech, one can see TM2 Blackarachnia lugging crates in the background...with TM Cheetor!

- When Waspinator has his tantrum in front of Inferno and Quickstrike (where he declares he has quit the Predacons) he speaks in first person for the first time! "I said NO!"

- In the scene where TM2 Dinobot is about to squeeze his spark to punish a badly behaved Rampage, one will notice his shoulder blades are missing! (At least I think this image belongs to this episode. Will have to check myself.)

Nemesis Part Two - In the scene where the attraction beam is on over the Ark, some of the things floating around are: Blackarachnia's gun, one of Inferno's guns, two of Rattrap's bombs, Depth Charge's gun, one of Rhinox's chain guns and TM2 Dinobot's hologram projector. A kind of microphone thing (which apparently featured in 'Equal Measures') is among the floating too!

Misc: Watch out for the little images on some of Rampage's missiles. One has a peace sign, one an atom bomb symbol and one has a Maximal symbol with a red slash through it!
