Nothing is more powerful than a Maximal in a firefight with one minute left in the episode

Couple thoughts. Rattrap: he used the tail more like a whip/fishing pole. He used the rim shield once to block Megs tail blast. He still uses explosive charges. "Pop goes the crab cake." Primal: he can still fight in hoverboard mode. He grappled midair with Megatron at one point. Silverbolt: he could only carry one person at a time, shorties like Blackarachnia or Rattrap. TM2 Cheetor: he flew briefly in The Nemesis pt 1.

I still can’t believe that Tigerhawk soloed the entire predacons and TRANSMETAL 2 MEGATRON. Heck Tigerhawk even took all but megs out of the picture with ONE ATTACK

I figured the evidence that going Transmetal wasn’t a massive upgrade was the fact that Dinobot stayed a heavy hitter despite not getting upgraded. Remember how quickly Megatron jumped at the opportunity to get Dinobot back on his side? He wouldn’t have given a traitor a second chance if Dinobot wasn’t a massive potential asset.

I also vaguely recall Rattrap using his demolition charges in season 2, but I don't remember the episode. The Transart TM Rattrap has that feature. Since that figure was your figure of the year, you should definitely review it someday.

After a thousand years, another beast wars power scale video

i noticed youre uploading one hour later than you used to

I swear, there was one episode in season two where Rattrap actually used his demolition charges, but he only used them once and never again (for some reason)

“Wonder what a Transmetal Fuzor would be like?” Now I’m picturing some rhino/ankylosaur Fuzor with a tank alt-mode. What would his name be? Slaphorn? Riotgear? Shieldor?

Rattrap used the shield in the first or second episode he got the upgrade in to block some shots, and he still has his arm charges, he uses one to gas Waspinator, and to blow up Ravage I believe Edit: He sticks them to Tarantulas's hands and blows up Ravages ship with them

Cheetors claws count same with dinobot two’s, the main selling point of transmetals is that they are battle ready in both modes

I still stand by that the cast took until season 3 for characters to get on Rhinox’s level, and only a few outclassed him

Cheetor can fire the weapon with just one hand, as seen in "Other Visits Pt 2".

I always assumed there was a touch of Transmetal in Fuzors. Not full, but wasn't it the blast that made them Transmetals that affected Quickstrike and Silverbolt's pods? I also always figured Megatron's work with the TM2 driver was enough to turn him into a Transmetal 2. Like residual radiation.

I've read somewhere that the reason Optimus got his ass knocked out of the fight in Season 3 was mostly due to the fact it took a while to develop Megatron's dragon mode. Plus Tigerhawk was done DIRTY, all because his fucking toy got canned at the last minute, even though they tried to undo it, he was already killed off and spared the horrors of Beast Machines.

I just remembered, TM Cheetor has a missile launching rifle he only uses in one episode, he misses with it and takes out Optimal Optimus instead of Waspinator (Feral Scream pt 1) the missile is in his colors making me think it really is his gun.

We only see dealth charge fly in robot mode once, so it could be an animation error

to be fair on the episode where dinobot clone is made cheetor takes out megatron for a second

“Wonder if you can have a transmetal fuzor” *proceeds to ignore Tigerhawk*

I don’t think the toy designs for the transmetals had weapons in mind, that’s why everyone has Less powerful and less conventional weapons

What is docka output, and primal uses that anti aircraft guns lot more than you think, he uses it in his first fight in that body, bad spark, and code of a hero. That’s all the ones I remember

Last night I researched season 2 episode 1, and Rattrap did block Megatron's blasts with his shield.

I swear you are making the best Transformers Figure videos on youtube, but a search for Transformers reviews doesn't even pull up your channel. Injustice! Great work as always. Do you have any insight on possible new figures that will have a surprise combiner mode, kind of like Junkasuarus? KZfaq Bump this guy up please!!!

If I had to guess why optimal Optimus isn’t a transmetal 2 but dragon megatron is, it’s because of when the toys came out. Megatron came out in 1999, the same year the other tm2s came out, while Optimus came out in 1998, the year of the tm1s. Depth charge’s toy also came out in 1998.

Do you think rampage was the inspiration for transmetal 2. He can attack in both modes and has curuits and flesh visible in both modes to. And the first transmetal two was created using his spark

I love the idea of this video and discussion on it. The character cards and original artwork were a great touch!

This might not change things much but Cheetor’s tail weapon wasn’t a whip. In the show the tail would become completely straight and become more of a spiked club.

Geez, it's been one year since the first one, and 11 months since the second one, good video all the same no matter how late it comes, good job man. 👍

Hey now, rattrap's tail ALSO was used as a conductor for the Ark's engines that it could not handle the ampacity of- oh wait...yeah, his tail weapon was pretty useless lol

We do see cheetor in his transmetal 1 body using a sniper but I think this is a Weapon he got from the base rather than in built weaponry. We see dinobot get extra weapons in coming of the fuzors, that’s likely where megatron got that Double barrel shotgun that one time aswell

If I were judging purely by design/appearance, the only character that was improved by the transmatal upgrades was Megatron. Specifically, his TM1 body since he had two functional hands, could fly, and had less kibble. Obviously, I'm not counting characters who were transmetal to begin with. There're all cool.

I glad Cheetor got some level of respect from you.

Really sad Tigerhawk died so quickly, he has one of my fav designs in the show. Also, still waiting for those Transmetal 1 Chug figures.

Rattrap did too have his demo charges. When he stuck one on Rampage in season 3

It makes sense then that Rhinox stays on the sidelines more and more throughout the series once the supermen and demigods start roaming the battlefield. Unfortunately, Waspinator is neither as wise, nor at the mercy of such an understanding leader.

So from what I got the top 3 are Optimal Optimus, Tigerhawk, and Depth Charge, makes sense, also, yes, still waiting for a new Depth Charge, idk why I like this guy so much I just do

I love these!! Thanks for bringing this back!

It's over 9000!!!!

Woo! Been waiting on this! Never realized how Cheetor being stuck on the ground was an improvement, but given how he never got used to flight, yeah...he did have some weird development.

I finally subscribed. My interest in transformers comes and goes but when I am into transformers I come back to your videos.

i kinda find it funny how waspinator always completely beats silverbolt in like all interactions

Question of the comments. if you can pick one Power Rangers megazord to be given the Transformers treatment which one would you pick? By transforms treatment you could still transform into either an original robot mode or an existing robot mode just with more possibility my pic would be the battlefleet megazord from operation overdrive a.k.a. DaiVoyager it looks like an autobot version of tidal wave from transformers armada.

About rattrap anddemo charges. He still have them and used them in the show and have same storages as in his original form. So yeah.

Variety content returns Appealing to the powerscaling fans too

I've been waiting for this, and it delivered

I love this power levels you make

I think considering that depth charge can fight underwater, can fly, and fight on the ground depth charge justifies his 8 in tactics.

Ratraps section is inaccurate his shield did block some of Megatrons blast in early season 2 he also did use his charges against rampage once I think in the agenda but don't quote me on it but otherwise great video

Rattrap used his demolition charges to kill Ravage while in Transmetal form

Didn't tm Optimus have a "fan mode" cannon thing the show writers decided to use as his "gun"?

As beast wars, mega Tron would say is it yyeessss

LIKE: Given

I do love me some maxiamals and prediacons. How about we throw in the autiobots as well?

As a longtime Depthcharge fan, this pleases me.

The Dragonball reference is definitely appropriate. The transformations have a limited but also broad application. TM1 was fine. It more or less gave a fast travel perk to certain members. No more episodes like "Fallen Comrades" (I liked the episodes, but the fact Megs can cover the distance in 5 min the others took all episode to reach really stretches that disbelief) TM2 like in DB and DBZ, it feels like more thought was put into it and this is the more refined version. (Like Super Sayin 1 is just temper tantrum unlocked, but by SS2 there were rules, conditions and drawbacks since it was no longer a pocket deus ex machina. But it also slipped in the explanation department. Depth Charge comes in automatically as a TM2. Why? Bat-Manta has to fight the Joker on equal footing so instant upgrade. But Dinobot 2 needs a driver to access TM2. Why? So Cheetor has an explanation for hulking out into a TM2 version. Rather than the transformation nonsense I would have had a spectrum. At one end you have fully organic entity (Gaia) and at the other end you have fully synthetic (Machina). S1 Beasties sit on the Gaia side, Beast Machine Vehicons on the Machina side and transmetals range between.

Just to let you know Cheetor TM2 flew in 1 episode. In nemesis part 1

As Megatron said about transmetals 1: "New packaging, same product"

It’s Pretty clear that the transmetals weren’t designed with weapons in mind, why else would cheetor had her mouth hands be weapons, and primals gun is just his back kibble

Have you considered maybe doing these for more transformers shows? 👀

Wouldnt Tigerhawk also count as a Fuzor on a couple levels, given he's not only a fusion of a Tiger and a Hawk, but a fusion of Airazor and Tigatron

maybe cuz more metal equals being slightly more heaviness lel hence the bare "upgrade"

Not related to power levels, but I wish that the other 4 additional Beast Wars characters and other 8 Transmetals of Season 1 get Kingdom era figures, like a Deluxe Quickstrike, a Voyager Depth Charge, a Leader Rampage, a Voyager Dinobot II, a Voyager TM Optimus Primal, a Leader/Commander Optimal Optimus, a Deluxe TM Cheetor, a Voyager TMII Cheetor, a Deluxe TM Rattrap, a Leader TM Megatron, a Deluxe TM Tarantulas, and a Deluxe TMII Blackarachnia.

You are describing a logorithmic scale.

Who is the most skilled fighter in the show on either sides

Very well done.

I always thought transmetal was like an upgrade kit or like those battle passes in fortnite or in New modern games (which I hate). You know when you level up or buy your way (like an idiot IMO) and you get a new skin(s), emotes, voice lines, game coins and other item no one cares about. I also thought rattrap used a whip. Lastly glad you're doing this again

Given that Tigerhawk came at the cost of a solid mid-range and an mvp it's good that the result is a powerhouse. Otherwise it would be like trading Gohan and Krillin for Yamcha fresh off a wrecking. Still, Tigerhawk holds one of the top spot records for most messed up origin story, in my opinion. Would have been entertaining if the romantic bonds of their two comprising bots manifested as catty narcissism in retrospect.

So I guess Dinobot has a better arsenal than Transmetal 1 Cheetor

What about the 19 dollar Generations Arcee I accidentally found while looking for an old Prime Arcee?

Is optimal Optimus even a transmetal? The way I saw it, transmetal forms could only be acquired through vok interactions and he got it from the matrix

This videos are always intresting! I am eager for the Predacons!

anyone else notice the typo on the character sheet? (maxiamal instead of maximal)

Nah, give my boi Cheetor a 1.0 at least for tactics, he did use his flight mode for recon at least

I don’t think we saw Bumblbee on the ark in beast wars

Why would quickstrike possibly count as a transmetal fuzor, I mean I think I see some metal on his beast mode but that could also just be grey scales or carapace

What a coincidence, I watched the first video just last night

I'm sad that both terrorsuar and scorponok never got their transmetal forms in the show They had to die right before they got it. I wonder if they would have been useful if they had them in the show

Great video.

An fun and interesting video, but I'm not gonna lie, you lost me on Rattrap. With the smaller shield, I mostly remember his first fight with Megs, and honestly, it wasn't bad. Considoring it shielded him from Meg's arm cannon shots. And as for "loosing detonator charges" What are you talking about? He still has them in use. The time he planted bombs inside Ravage's ship (or more specificly, on Tarantulas hands) Or the time he saved Silverbolt by bouth fooling, and "glithing" Waspinator with one of them.

I practice waspinator supremacy

tigerhawk also crushed the living crap out of the predacon base

Any chance you’ll be completing newage dinobots? Off topic use but comment makes algorithm facist happy.

at this point wrap cheetor in bubble wrap

How is that algorithm dreaming you?

how to do power scalings in beast wars be like: "how well could they kill cheetor"

Quick question what about blackaiachina she was maximal after her transmetal 2 upgrade? Love your work ❤

I know this technically isn't on the subject matter but did you watch the Frieza vs Megatron death battle.

Why would morning stars do more damage than swords

I fear for dear transmutate

I noticed you posted 0.1 second later than usual

Maxiamal? Was that on the original boxes?

Cheetor became an incel. Lol I'm dead

is silverbolts beast mode useful

When are you reviewing SS Mirage?

what is is a maxiamal?

Comment for the KZfaq algorithm

I really want legacy to make some more tm2’s

Love this

Please give!

Isn’t Tigerhawk a Transmetal fuzor?
