You'd think that remaining in Beast Mode the whole time would make him a savage beast permanently; leaving his Beast Mode to conquer his other circuits and ultimately turn him into an angry miserable purple T-rex.
1:48 - 1:54 Still amazes me sometimes that Beast Wars actually managed to get away with Primal pinning him to the wall like that and making it obvious how bad it hurt. Pretty hardcore for a kid's show.
you know, seeing how primal acts in this episode is a good metaphor for when people take beloved characters and 'modernize' them. I'm using the word in parentheses because I am not talking about giving a character an update. I'm talking more about when those who have no idea of what these characters stand for, project their own perception of what 'modern' means, and turn characters into ultra-violent-rage-killers.
5:31 Its at this moment the beast wars should have been over because according to Rhinox that blast should have wiped out everything in sprinting distance and both Megatron and Scorpinok were at the center of it.
I know this was 8 years ago, but its obvious megatron was just trying to run the timer for optimus spark to fail. Its thanks to the rest of the teams counter attack, that slowed the number of preds blocking optimus to the anti virus, and especially cheetor for not giving up on the big guy.
@@miyako1909 Hi. I didn't say Optimus was my first "Prime" But my first "Optimus" Prime and Primal fill the same role as paragon heroes of the good guys. I am well aware that they are two different characters. Also, I don't recall them saying Primal is Prime's descendant. Just that Prime was Primal's namesake, as in he was named in honor of the original Optimus.
Proud nerdy sci-fi geek moment for me For anyone reading this If you've seen this whole episode Gorilla Warfare....see it again..... It's got 3 scenes that are directly ripped off 1987's Robocop....i was blown away when i spotted this....true Easter eggs Scene 01) breaking open the hatch....same way robocop did the drug bust Scene 02) Waspinator being pulled from behind the wall by Optimus..... The town hall scene where Robocop pulled the mayor from behind the wall And 3rd..... MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE.... Scene 03) at the end when Dinobot walks away from Optimus resting, he slowly turns around and in a very uncharacteristic manner gives a small smile......that is exactly frame for frame the last scene where robo turns slowly and tells the old man his name with a smile, "Murphy".
Optimus got weaker every evolution. He's such a baddass here walking through bullets and taking out half the preds on his own. Well ... THAT"S JUST PRIME!!!!!!!!
A good episode and one that, I've gotta say, has numerous ironies in it. Said ironies are as follows: Despite Scorponok being, as Dinobot said "Notoriously incompetent", he actually managed to, outside of botching the virus that had the opposite effect of what he meant it to have, do everything else right. You know, create the antivirus the way it was supposed to be, manage to latch his cyberbee onto Optimus right after he put Dinobot out of action and cause there to still be problems aplenty for Optimus and the other Maximals alike, even though he also put himself and the other Predacons in danger. And proving capable of creating any sorts of things at all, cyberbee(with future ones doing a tiny bit better than the original), antivirus or otherwise, given his being not too bright and overall a less than adept scientist(said ineptness proven by both the botched cyberbee and some other things). Dinobot making a very stupid decision despite how he's usually very smart in deciding to let the Predacons know that Optimus had become an aggressive killing machine instead of the coward he was supposed to be turned into, which tipped them off, like Cheetor mentioned. The aforementioned Cheetor being portrayed as a lot more competent and smart than the writers(wrongly)like to show him as in some episodes, and being right about the "less brains and more guts" thing after all, even though Dinobot's idea seemed to be the better one, but instead led to him admitting that only Optimus can truly think like Optimus. Tarantulas, who is usually very competent, both in battle and as a scientist, screwing up badly against Optimus, who defeated him in a way that would bring Jason Voorhees and/or Michael Myers to mind. Megatron, who is almost always clever and making of smart decisions, leadership or otherwise, deciding to approach Optimus with the antivirus in hand to try and goad him into surrendering instead of just going into the same room and staying a good distance away from him with that antivirus in hand, which would have forced Optimus to surrender, something that proved foolish on Megatron's part, given what Optimus did to him when he got the chance. Anyway, quite the set of ironies, wouldn't you say?
Needs powerful threat to be stopped.
Sends out waspinator
I mean the bot is seemingly indestructible XD
@@cromwellthesynth He's not indestructable he just have a thick plot armor
I would think both the spiders to be the best choices for defence against base intruders.
Anyone else noticed Megatron spent the entire episode in his beast mode?
He give T-Rex a bad name.
Yes
You'd think that remaining in Beast Mode the whole time would make him a savage beast permanently; leaving his Beast Mode to conquer his other circuits and ultimately turn him into an angry miserable purple T-rex.
Yeessssss....
That aged well for ROTB
Rare to see Dinobot smile...R.I.P brave warrior your spark will be in the matrix for eons to come :)
It was more of a smirk than anything.
Optimus is like a combination of batman wolverine and King Kong all together
2:01 "WASPINATOR?! YOU SENT WASPINATOR TO STOP HIM?!! WASPINATOR COULDN'T HANDLE QUICKSTRIKE, LET-ALONE OPTIMUS PRIMAL!!!"
Dinobot' s smile so cute 🥺😍

I used to watch this show and remember it being the greatest thing ever and i’ve come back to this

Taimundo
(Cough cough) Michael Bay (cough cough)
Optimus was like the combonation of RoboCop and the Terminator!
Lajos Kelemen and king Kong
Most badass side of Optimus Primal! Oh how I LOVE it!
The Preds should be grateful that Primal didn't go full pre-Doom Slayer on their afterburners. That would have been a real nasty mess to clean up.
I like how before the Cyberbee detonates, Megatron and Scorponok look at the camera like they're about to say "OH NO!!". XD
I lost it when Megatron ran away calling for Scorponock!
Same
The delivery was hilarious
its like optimus is the terminator, killing people in a badass way and not caring if he takes damage
Dinobot, how sweet, lol
5:31
Its at this moment the beast wars should have been over because according to Rhinox that blast should have wiped out everything in sprinting distance and both Megatron and Scorpinok were at the center of it.
Why starred to the camera?
megatron usually likes to outnumber maximals underhandedly, but he told tarantulus And waspinator to take on optimus Alone. what was he thinking???
I know this was 8 years ago, but its obvious megatron was just trying to run the timer for optimus spark to fail.
Its thanks to the rest of the teams counter attack, that slowed the number of preds blocking optimus to the anti virus, and especially cheetor for not giving up on the big guy.
I feel so bad for Optimus in this episode.
Optimus Primal my favorite incarnation of Optimus.
Eight years later, but he is another character.
You are wrong. Primal is an entirely different character. He is a descendant of Optimus Prime.
@@miyako1909 Hi. I didn't say Optimus was my first "Prime" But my first "Optimus"
Prime and Primal fill the same role as paragon heroes of the good guys.
I am well aware that they are two different characters.

optimus just pulled a michael myers pinning tarantalus up to the wall
piplup2009 and he pulled a Jason on Waspinator
@@SiruselVaranus Or a Robocop.
i've never noticed that animation error with cheetors hand when he injects optimus
Good eye! As many times as I've seen this, I never noticed that.
Which minute?
@@biroti89 5:02-:5:04 i think
Optimus pulled a Michael Myers on Tarantulas, and then a Jason Voorhees on Waspinator! lol
I always like how Optimus Primal had a face mask.
HARDCORE OPTIMUS
One word - - - Ouch!!
I feel like if Optimus Primal faught like this the beast wars would have been over in a snap
Damn...I'd hate to be in the way of Optimus if he's THIS pissed!
SulliMike241
If he’s that pissed, *RUN*
Imagine if he was like this in his transmetal forms
SCORPONOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Optimus got weaker every evolution. He's such a baddass here walking through bullets and taking out half the preds on his own.
Well ... THAT"S JUST PRIME!!!!!!!!
MajinEvan86 IKR? In season 3 he gets 3 or 4 forms and he spends the final episodes getting his ass handed to him.
Me when I decided to go back to the starting area after I maxed out all of my stats 1:30
0:47
Welp now I know where they got the idea for the app Flying Gorilla
Optimus Primal Rage Mode FTW!!!
Looks like megatron chose the wrong beast form in this case he was to slow to avoid the cyberbee when Optimsu threw it at him
1:30 T2 vibes
04:30, Wow, Megatron. You're technically ASKING for it.
You can see blood on top of optimus head 3:26
Optimus can be very brutal....
0:49 face plate
MEGATRON: Come In!
0:12 My favorite by far
Cheetor is savage 😂

Anyway, quite the set of ironies, wouldn't you say?
the only faceplate moment Primal had
In the S1 finale as well.
@blizrfiz Nah don't take it personally, Dinobot is built like that. Do you ever see Dinobot laugh, cry, or lose his cool?
It’s all Waspinator’s Fault.
Dinobot reminds me of Blue from Jurassic World.
Well that's because both of them are Raptors.
r.i.p. dinobot
wtf did you just say about me megatron?
Primus poor Waspinator...
Waspinator WON'T get him! Prime will get Waspinator!
Waspanator is beast wars version of Kenny from South oark
@sfrederick5 Dinobot: This is the happiest day of life!
i like a bad ass optimus! :P
4:57 😂😂😂😂😂
