The irony of ravage being rebuilt in the form size of a Predacons and still had his tape deck altform but mass shifted to I guess a traditional human tech tape cassette keeping the OG G1 transform sound and not required a command code to switch modes robot to alt mode. Just loved his heavy Russian accent not knowing the voice actor for him. I was always thinking about what other Decepticons generals who were given amnesty after the war. Who they were including Ravage.
"Ever since the Autobots defeated our Decepticon ancestors, we Predacons have worked secretly towards the day when we might rise up and take what is rightfully ours!" (flash forward to Season 3) Tarantulas: "Only those descended from Autobots or Decepticons. But I and the Tripredacus Council have different origins." So are the Predacons being goaded to avenge themselves by aliens posing as Cybertronian?
Either could be wrong about their origins, the council and Tarantulus may be descended from other Quintesson robots that became transformers like the Sharkticons and Allicons or from Liege Maximo's Cybertronian Empire.
Since Beast Wars uses the original cartoon as well as the marvel comics as it's backstory, they're probably descendants form the Cyberonian Empire from G2 comics.
Unicron spawn. So if you go by the cartoon. They where probably created in some way by the guy who created unicron and omnicron. Though more likely unicron had created spawn before his defeat.
They might have been created by Omicron, but it's a little vague. They could be offshoots of the Old Cybertronian Empire like Liege Maximo or something.
Remember the transwarp wave came from the transwarp cell that was on Primal’s status pod when it exploded destroying the alien machine at the end of season 1. Tarantulas was the one that installed the cell in pod.
I'm guessing Megatron snuffed the Tripedacus Council's sparks when he took over Cybertron. In the end, he achieved what they were "patiently" waiting for.

thank you. crossing off my list of collected action figures and questioning why these guys are listed as characters in the show when I could never remember seeing them. I would consider this a cameo really
@@Husker_XIII And the Tripredacus Council weren't spawns of Unicron (That was an insult by Megatron) but descended from a faction that left Cybertron that wasn't with the ark or nemesis crews. Or so I've been told.
Ravage was so badass in Beast Wars. It was so cool to see him again after G1. Also if your sad about his "death" i believe he was revived in the comics
I think it was the Binaltech comics where scientists discovered Ravage's ship and forced them to make him a new body where he then altered the events of the movie by placing the entire Decepticon army in a pocket dimension leaving the Autobots to face Unicron all alone and then once he was defeated bring the entire army back to wipe out the weakened Autobot forces and it worked until one flipped the switch to turn off all Transformers.
Ever notice how the guy on the right just looks and kinda sounds like a weird red megatron? I occasionally thought they'd go somewhere with that back in the day but they never did.
In one fan fiction, the Maximal 'council of elders' were converted Autobots, unsurprisingly they were G1 Ironhide, Prowl and Silverbolt, the three components of Magnaboss. Makes sense that the elders be 'Autobots', just too bad Beast Machines saw Cybertron decimated and the Predacons were a complete no show.
I didn't even think about that. Megatrons crew were nowhere near the only predacons, there were several of them so how come in beast machines they acted like Megatron was the only one?
Not a member, but like Ravage, he was an agent for the Council, a member of their secret police, which is why he joined Ravage. He and the Council were also said to be descended from Unicron’s Transformers instead of Decepticons so Megatron’s time travel shenanigans wouldn’t affect him
Obviously Ravage never had intentions of rescuing the Maximals, but what was his original plan after taking Megatron's life? would he just kill all the Maximals or strand them?
As Megatron said, "I am not naive. You have no intention of returning me, or any of us, to Cybertron alive." I'm guessing while Megatron was the primary target, Ravage's mission was to kill anyone who might threaten the Tripedicus Council's place in the timeline, including the Maximals.
I really dislike that we never got to learn more about these guys in Beast Machines, i imagine Megatron got his revenge on them when he took over, but it would have been nice to see them be official announce themselves as the spawn of Unicron in the series
I'm sure Ravage could have still being repaired after his ship exploded, but when his ship's missile hit Rampage, the second explosion should have damaged him beyond repair thus killing him definitely.
@@Dav-zy1dw On the part of ravage being repaired the udon comics covered that as an extra part of the storyline.Dont know if it got fully canon,they tried to add extra events before beast machines it even involved Leo convoy.bringing him into the American continuaty.
It would have been awesome if the Tripredacus Council members looked more like their toy iterations and they actually fought later on in this show. Tripredacus in his combined mode could have been like the final boss and maybe they could have fit Magnaboss in there somehow (whilst changing eagle Silverbolt's name obviously).
From The Agenda Part 1. Also technically these guys made it into the TV series from the toyline as they were sold as the Ultra Team Tripredacus. One of the best additions to the storyline was the Tripredacus Council and Ravage returning. Shame he met his demise in the process.
Cuz he knows Ravage, probably. He clearly has connections to higher maximal powers, especially since he was carrying Rampage's spark on an unassuming exploration vessel designed to jettison protoforms to uninhabited worlds. It's a shame this part of primal was never explored
Ramhorn's the bat eared one recycling Rattrap's S1 face, Sea Clamp's the fin headed one with the moustached esque mouth & Cicadacon is the mismatch eyed one recycling Megs face who has mandible like bits jutting outta his scalp.
It's curious what Tarantulos says on episode 50, that he and the Tripedacus Council are not descendants of the Decepticons and Autobots. I think the animators' original idea was to explain this in "Beast Machines" but since Hasbro and Mainframe produced "Beast Machines" with a different team from "Beast Wars", this idea ended up being forgotten.
My little fanon is that Tarantulas and the Tripredacus Council actually AREN'T the descendants of the Decepticons exactly, but rather the descendants of the G1 Insecticons, hence their preference for ingesting matter over direct energon refueling. They mistakenly believe they're the descendants of the Unicronian reformatted Decepticons, ergo the 'spawn of Unicron' epithet.
@@goldarnit this actually is the canonical origin for them the tripedacus council as well as Tarantulas and a hand full of others are descendent from Unicron, there's even an official prequel comic that shows what happened at the twilight days of the great war
@@ShanaReviewsyou're only half-right. Its mentioned somewhere that the Tripardicus council members are descendants of the Quintessons and thats why you see them float in the meeting room just like their ancestors. And since Quintessons are Unicrons creations, i'd say that makes the Triperdicus council deacendants of Unicron himself.
I once had an idea for a proper beast wars 2. So unlike in the original Megatron fails to break free of the shuttle. When the maximals return they are greeted by Lio Prime supreme commander of the maximals Optimus Primal’s mentor. During the debrief he reveals that the high council are suppressing what happened on earth because Megatron had become a symbol to the predacons. While this is going on three mysterious predacons free Megatron and hand him a device. Megatron and his liberators promptly escape. The maximal high council then sends Lio prime and primal along with a squad of elite guard to arrest Megatron and his allies. During the pursuit Primal recognizes Megatron allies as Scorpinok, Terrasaur, and Waspinator Primal is surprised because the three of them disappeared during the beast wars. Making a remark that Terrasaur and Scorpinok were lost during the transwarp wave and Waspinator was supposedly killed at the end of the beast wars. Ultimately the four elude the maximals. That would be part 1 of the premier. As the Predacons make their way to their target. The maximals allow primals troops to join the hunt since the elite guard have been outfoxed. There they figure Megatron is on his way to Vector Sigma realizing Megatron is planning something Cybertron wide the attempt to head him off. To late Megatron and his predacons made their way to Vector Sigma which is now a massive temple that oversees the creation of new transformers. Megatron and his predacons are shocked to discover Dinobot is there with guardians of Vector Sugma. During the clash the guardians are overpowered by the predacons with Megatron escaping into the central computer core. The maximals arrive and are surprised to see Dinobot. The Maximals then start fighting the predacons while primal and Lio prime confront Megatron. In the master control Megatron reveals to Primal the beast wars had a secondary objective that Megatron had been building towards. He had been intentionally using the maximals and predacons as test subjects into creating a new breed of cybertronian the transmetal 3’s. He reveals that primals accident and transwarp wave did exactly what it was supposed to do. Then after Primal absorbed primes energy inspired him to create the transmetal 2’s. Then he explains how he resurrected Terrasaur and Scorpinok as transmetal 3’s and instructed them to make their way to cybertron in the event of his defeat and await his arrival. As Megatron tries to shoot Optimus Lio prime jumps in the way taking the blow. Megatron then activates his device which emits a reformatting wave across the planet Terrasaur and Scorpinok grab Megatron and Waspinator and escape as they begin reformatting. Part 2 end Part 3: the maximals awaken after the reformatting. Take in their new forms. Rattrap is slightly bigger with a rat and car alt mode, black arachnia is now a helicopter spider, silverbolt is now a hover jet wolf eagle, rhinox is an hover tank rhino, cheetor is a race car cheetah, Dinobot is a raptor motorcycle, primal is actually back to his old size a jet monkey with his excess mass becoming a apex armor. Then when they take Lio prime back to cybertropolis for treatment Dinobot explains when he died he was reborn on cybertron at the well of all sparks saying he was told his time is not done. Lio Prime the summon primal then summons Optimus primal where he grants him the matrix of leadership telling him he will be the new supreme commander if the maximals. Part 3 end.
@@thedude9941not even. It's revealed by Tarantulas at the end of the series that they lied about being descendants of the Decepticons and tried to conquer Cybertron for a third party.
@@stevensteviepryde5888 they are all descendent from Unicron and while they want to seize control of cybertron, Megatron going rogue hinders their plans because now they can't move in secret without the maximal elders knowing as they'd probably keep security on them and all predacons tighter
So... nobody wanna talk about the silly hanging light on that predacon space station? Are they supposed to do their councils during some poker nights or something?
Well, the council did need to save on electricity, and a single hanging light bulb was the best way to do it. Fun fact which means or may not be real, when they're not doing counselling work: those three play cybertronians strip poker😂
"Hey guys, what do we want to do with this really big room?" "Let's install a single, hanging light source and put in a really, REALLY tall table. You know, the one we've been saving for this occasion."
Reaching prehistoric Earth in the state that the two factions were warring on required transwarping, and the only cruiser they had was destroyed with Ravage. They may have assumed that he either wiped them all out or failed & decided to wait and see what happened next…only for Megatron to conquer all of Cybertron.
@@tlk4554 Like tlk said, the tech for transwarping was expensive and rare, the one cruiser the predacons were able to build was probably done at great expense and was as they say in the video a prototype, they probably assumed it either failed, or ravage did, and it would take quite some time for them to construct another.
E enquanto eles chegavam a uma conclusão, e eventualmente decidiam construir um novo cruzador, os Maximals já estavam retornando a Cyrbertron, levando Megatron como prisioneiro. A escalada dos eventos realmente foi muita rápida. Assim tivemos a saga dos Beast Machines e o desenvolvimento de toda sua trama.
After all this time, and now being in 2021, I always thought about this scene with the 3 predicons. The war is over, and after a long battle the autobots won. After every show movie game and anything else.
@@victorfergn Oh they sold their toys alright, seeing as their cameo served no purpose other than just being there for a few minutes and you don't see or hear from them again. At least Beast Wars 2 anime did a better job using those 3, unlike this CGI show.
@@victorfergn yeah but I'd expect them to play a bigger role in other episodes, not just show them in this episode and then "poof" they are not seen or heard from again.
I always saw Tarantulas as a descendant of ShockWave. Purple, one yellow eye, scientist, are the similarities that hinted that to me. Then when he tries to blow up the Ark, won't erase him, his great-grandaddy (or how many generations) is still safe and sound.
That honestly just felt like it was just shoehorned in at the last minute. It doesn't even make sense when we just heard that the Deceptions are their ancestors.
They definitely aren't afraid of him. If anything, they're looking down on him. While they acknowledge his skill, they also think he's too unpredictable to be the face of the Predacons, and that makes him more trouble than his talents are worth.
Megatron is too much of a wild card, because he acts on his own and isn't a team player that can't control and predict his actions despite them acknowledging that he's very brilliant. from what we learn the Predacons aren't treated well on cybertron, the Tripredacus council is trying to take advantage of this so they can seize power in service to their creator, Unicron, but because Megatron acts on his own it is causing the Maximal Elders to be more suspicious of them and makes it harder for the Tripredacus council to move about in secret. they don't fear him, they are annoyed with him
@@jedibattlemasterkos in beast machines, the predacons are never mentioned. Primal only mentions saving the trapped maximals. The first time I watched it, I thought nightscreech was a predacon. I thought that made sense for his character, but even he is a maximal.

I still Wonder who IS the ancestors of Tarantulas and The Tripredacus Council,are they descendents of Unicron?, The Quintessons?, or someone else's descendents?.
Tarantulas was called unicorns spawn was it a insult or something deeper It's rumored the t council was originally g1 cons that served Megatron and had their bodies reformatted The timelines give many versions
@@chrisedwards3214. Blame Hasbro for the huge missed opportunity. There's already a ton of spoon feed expositional dialogue, like when that tripedacus council member blabbed about their situation with the maximals in an"as you know"fashion. But rather than letting the show staff fallow through with it, they did a completely different series and derailing things!
I’ve always suspected the Quintessons. The council wants to conquer Cybertron themselves and eliminate the Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals and Predacons all in one fell swoop as they partially orchestrated Megatron’s time shenanigans Beast Wars is a G1 continuity acting as a distant sequel to the original cartoon, meaning that the Quintessons most likely existed with the same backstory of creating the Cybertronians before their creations turned on them, and spending the next few millennia trying to overthrow them and rule Cybertron. I feel it was only natural for the Quintessons to secretly participate in the great upgrade that saw the birth of Maximals and Predacons, and infiltrate society to covertly usurp it from within.
I havemt watched this show in such a long time, did the tripreadecus combiner even show up in the show cause i dont even remember if magnaboss did either
Unicorn is already declared as the main villain, and given hasbro's track record with beast wars besides the original cartoon, their reimagined as contemporaries instead of future descendants!
there's something i never understood (or is it a script hole) It is assumed that the story takes place in the land of millions of years ago when cybertron was devastated and neither predacon nor maximal exist yet (and the G1 Transformers were asleep on earth), so how did the transmetal wave arrive at contemporary cybertron of the maximal and predacon? Perhaps it is the same wave that arrived millions of years later, there it would be understood ... but how were they able to send an Agent at the same time millions of years ago to the past?
The Trans-warp portal the cast used that made them end up on earth left a kind of portal that the wave used to arrived at cybertron in the future and when the Agent went to follow the source he hit the same portal and arrived in past earth.
Alr, i'll try to explain this The Tripedacus Council is indeed descended from Unicron, but it was actually Megatron who called Tarantulas "spawn of Unicron" that, however was simply his way of calling Tarantulas a SoB but was retconned due to many people misunderstanding that line
Remember in beast machines megatron took control of the planet. And the predacon council did try to kill him by sending ravage. So when megatron got back home his first job would be to 86 the council when he took over.
@SkyOfflaneOnlyIt was written by people who had no idea what transformers were or the idea of "robots in disguise". Not only that but they hadn't seen beast wars either which is why the characters were all... Off.
There's a surprising amount of Decepticons still running around. Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw (the birds both got roasted, unfortunately), Divebomb, Razorclaw, Flamewar, Thundercracker, Sinnertwin, and several hundred other Decepticons are all still active, whether as civilians, agents, insurgents, or war prisoners
@@chrisedwards3214 Yes, this was the case with Ravage, Buzzsaw, and Laserbeak. Others like Thundercracker and Sinnertwin were war prisoners kept in containment. Divebomb and Razorclaw were underground insurgents
They’re evil since they planned on overthrowing the Maximals and reclaiming Cybertron. The only problem is that they’re very cautious about how they go about doing it. And other Predacons like Megatron and Magmatron think they plan too slowly. And any opportunity they have of retaking Cybertron will be far too late.
Something that never made sense about this. They keep talking about being able to track when the wave would reach Cybertron like it's in real time. But they traveled back in time to get to Earth in the first place and are thousands of years in the past relative to when they left Cybertron. They are completely out of sync with the normal timeline so if the wave reached Cybertron when they said it did then it would be thousands of years before they ever left, before the Maximals and Predicons were even around. If the Wave traveled forward in time as they described, then the concept of saying "its should get there now" is meaningless. It will get there thousands of years in the future and then the Maximals (or in this case Predacons) will send help who will arrive whenever their time machines are set to arrive. Time travel really makes things complicated -__-
There is a leftover portal that the cast used in the first episode that causes anything that goes near it to travel back and forth through time. That how the wave reach future cybertron and, when the Agent went to follow the wave source, hit the same portal and travel to the past. It actually shown later on. Here it is around the 2 minute mark: th-cam.com/video/ZI9X2UXZFo4/w-d-xo.html
@@lightdragoon88 In that case then it doesn't make sense for Rhinox to say that the wave travels through space AND TIME. Because the portal takes care of the time part.
@@km91420 Rhinox didn't mention anything about a portal. The way he said it implied that the wave itself inherently traveled through space and time without the aid of a pre-existing time portal. I'm not saying the portal wasn't the source, just that the way it was written was confusing.
I love how Optimus generally is tolerant of Rattrap, generally the diplomat, and generally able to smooth things over. *facepalm* shut up rat trap. He knows precisely how Fucked things are if ravage is here.
They use simple and reused character models and don't show them clearly so they can save on costs. Character models are expensive and Mainframe Entertainment wasn't the most wealthy studio.

It was the Predacons that formed Predaking that began the new Predacon faction. Shortly after the Tripredacus Council staged a coup and seized power.

Ravage was so badass in Beast Wars. It was so cool to see him again after G1. Also if your sad about his "death" i believe he was revived in the comics
I think it was the Binaltech comics where scientists discovered Ravage's ship and forced them to make him a new body where he then altered the events of the movie by placing the entire Decepticon army in a pocket dimension leaving the Autobots to face Unicron all alone and then once he was defeated bring the entire army back to wipe out the weakened Autobot forces and it worked until one flipped the switch to turn off all Transformers.

In one fan fiction, the Maximal 'council of elders' were converted Autobots, unsurprisingly they were G1 Ironhide, Prowl and Silverbolt, the three components of Magnaboss.
Makes sense that the elders be 'Autobots', just too bad Beast Machines saw Cybertron decimated and the Predacons were a complete no show.
I didn't even think about that. Megatrons crew were nowhere near the only predacons, there were several of them so how come in beast machines they acted like Megatron was the only one?
How ?

I remember that tarantulas was part of the Tripredacus council.
Not a member, but like Ravage, he was an agent for the Council, a member of their secret police, which is why he joined Ravage. He and the Council were also said to be descended from Unicron’s Transformers instead of Decepticons so Megatron’s time travel shenanigans wouldn’t affect him
Initially it was the cybertronian empire from g2
Obviously Ravage never had intentions of rescuing the Maximals, but what was his original plan after taking Megatron's life? would he just kill all the Maximals or strand them?
Yes. Killing everybody on Earth and then going home.
Whatever his orders from the Tripredicus Council were, it couldn't have been good for the Maximals.
Probably, he had to cover the whole thing up so he probably would have just killed them all.
As Megatron said, "I am not naive. You have no intention of returning me, or any of us, to Cybertron alive." I'm guessing while Megatron was the primary target, Ravage's mission was to kill anyone who might threaten the Tripedicus Council's place in the timeline, including the Maximals.

It's curious what Tarantulos says on episode 50, that he and the Tripedacus Council are not descendants of the Decepticons and Autobots. I think the animators' original idea was to explain this in "Beast Machines" but since Hasbro and Mainframe produced "Beast Machines" with a different team from "Beast Wars", this idea ended up being forgotten.
*Tarantulas.
My little fanon is that Tarantulas and the Tripredacus Council actually AREN'T the descendants of the Decepticons exactly, but rather the descendants of the G1 Insecticons, hence their preference for ingesting matter over direct energon refueling. They mistakenly believe they're the descendants of the Unicronian reformatted Decepticons, ergo the 'spawn of Unicron' epithet.
@@goldarnit this actually is the canonical origin for them
the tripedacus council as well as Tarantulas and a hand full of others are descendent from Unicron, there's even an official prequel comic that shows what happened at the twilight days of the great war
@@ShanaReviewsyou're only half-right. Its mentioned somewhere that the Tripardicus council members are descendants of the Quintessons and thats why you see them float in the meeting room just like their ancestors.

@@DemoNinja79 how were the quintessons unicrons creation? That was a very old non canon draft from the movie before they were made seperate
I once had an idea for a proper beast wars 2. So unlike in the original Megatron fails to break free of the shuttle. When the maximals return they are greeted by Lio Prime supreme commander of the maximals Optimus Primal’s mentor. During the debrief he reveals that the high council are suppressing what happened on earth because Megatron had become a symbol to the predacons. While this is going on three mysterious predacons free Megatron and hand him a device. Megatron and his liberators promptly escape. The maximal high council then sends Lio prime and primal along with a squad of elite guard to arrest Megatron and his allies. During the pursuit Primal recognizes Megatron allies as Scorpinok, Terrasaur, and Waspinator Primal is surprised because the three of them disappeared during the beast wars. Making a remark that Terrasaur and Scorpinok were lost during the transwarp wave and Waspinator was supposedly killed at the end of the beast wars. Ultimately the four elude the maximals.
That would be part 1 of the premier.
As the Predacons make their way to their target. The maximals allow primals troops to join the hunt since the elite guard have been outfoxed. There they figure Megatron is on his way to Vector Sigma realizing Megatron is planning something Cybertron wide the attempt to head him off. To late Megatron and his predacons made their way to Vector Sigma which is now a massive temple that oversees the creation of new transformers. Megatron and his predacons are shocked to discover Dinobot is there with guardians of Vector Sugma. During the clash the guardians are overpowered by the predacons with Megatron escaping into the central computer core. The maximals arrive and are surprised to see Dinobot. The Maximals then start fighting the predacons while primal and Lio prime confront Megatron. In the master control Megatron reveals to Primal the beast wars had a secondary objective that Megatron had been building towards. He had been intentionally using the maximals and predacons as test subjects into creating a new breed of cybertronian the transmetal 3’s. He reveals that primals accident and transwarp wave did exactly what it was supposed to do. Then after Primal absorbed primes energy inspired him to create the transmetal 2’s. Then he explains how he resurrected Terrasaur and Scorpinok as transmetal 3’s and instructed them to make their way to cybertron in the event of his defeat and await his arrival. As Megatron tries to shoot Optimus Lio prime jumps in the way taking the blow. Megatron then activates his device which emits a reformatting wave across the planet Terrasaur and Scorpinok grab Megatron and Waspinator and escape as they begin reformatting. Part 2 end
Part 3: the maximals awaken after the reformatting. Take in their new forms. Rattrap is slightly bigger with a rat and car alt mode, black arachnia is now a helicopter spider, silverbolt is now a hover jet wolf eagle, rhinox is an hover tank rhino, cheetor is a race car cheetah, Dinobot is a raptor motorcycle, primal is actually back to his old size a jet monkey with his excess mass becoming a apex armor. Then when they take Lio prime back to cybertropolis for treatment Dinobot explains when he died he was reborn on cybertron at the well of all sparks saying he was told his time is not done. Lio Prime the summon primal then summons Optimus primal where he grants him the matrix of leadership telling him he will be the new supreme commander if the maximals.
Part 3 end.

So... nobody wanna talk about the silly hanging light on that predacon space station?
Are they supposed to do their councils during some poker nights or something?
Well, the council did need to save on electricity, and a single hanging light bulb was the best way to do it.

"Hey guys, what do we want to do with this really big room?"
"Let's install a single, hanging light source and put in a really, REALLY tall table. You know, the one we've been saving for this occasion."
That's what they use the room for when they're not holding meetings on the progression of their evil plans.
Here's a question, after Ravage failed to return why didn't the Tripredacus Council send another agent?
Reaching prehistoric Earth in the state that the two factions were warring on required transwarping, and the only cruiser they had was destroyed with Ravage. They may have assumed that he either wiped them all out or failed & decided to wait and see what happened next…only for Megatron to conquer all of Cybertron.
they didn’t feel like it
@@tlk4554 Like tlk said, the tech for transwarping was expensive and rare, the one cruiser the predacons were able to build was probably done at great expense and was as they say in the video a prototype, they probably assumed it either failed, or ravage did, and it would take quite some time for them to construct another.
E enquanto eles chegavam a uma conclusão, e eventualmente decidiam construir um novo cruzador, os Maximals já estavam retornando a Cyrbertron, levando Megatron como prisioneiro.
A escalada dos eventos realmente foi muita rápida.
Assim tivemos a saga dos Beast Machines e o desenvolvimento de toda sua trama.

@@cledgefenrir5681I always imagine tarantulas as the spawn of the chaos bringer himself.

So, he was actually acting as a _triple_ agent against everyone else.
That honestly just felt like it was just shoehorned in at the last minute. It doesn't even make sense when we just heard that the Deceptions are their ancestors.
@@DeinedThat honestly should have been revealed earlier, it came way too late to matter.
Why they afraid of Megatron from beast war 1:37
They definitely aren't afraid of him. If anything, they're looking down on him. While they acknowledge his skill, they also think he's too unpredictable to be the face of the Predacons, and that makes him more trouble than his talents are worth.
Megatron is too much of a wild card, because he acts on his own and isn't a team player that can't control and predict his actions despite them acknowledging that he's very brilliant.
from what we learn the Predacons aren't treated well on cybertron, the Tripredacus council is trying to take advantage of this so they can seize power in service to their creator, Unicron, but because Megatron acts on his own it is causing the Maximal Elders to be more suspicious of them and makes it harder for the Tripredacus council to move about in secret.
they don't fear him, they are annoyed with him
At the end of beast machines, were the predacons also freed from megatron? Do predacons even exist in beast machines?
Missed opportunity to have the Maximals and Predacons work together against a common enemy in Megatron.

I’ve always suspected the Quintessons. The council wants to conquer Cybertron themselves and eliminate the Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals and Predacons all in one fell swoop as they partially orchestrated Megatron’s time shenanigans
Beast Wars is a G1 continuity acting as a distant sequel to the original cartoon, meaning that the Quintessons most likely existed with the same backstory of creating the Cybertronians before their creations turned on them, and spending the next few millennia trying to overthrow them and rule Cybertron. I feel it was only natural for the Quintessons to secretly participate in the great upgrade that saw the birth of Maximals and Predacons, and infiltrate society to covertly usurp it from within.
If the maximal elder are replaced by the convoy council who replacing the tripredicus council?
I havemt watched this show in such a long time, did the tripreadecus combiner even show up in the show cause i dont even remember if magnaboss did either
Nope, both appeared in Japan’s Beast Wars II under different names & characters but this show only ever had the Tripredacus council in this format.

@@connormclernon26 thank you and i figured they are like that
They’re evil since they planned on overthrowing the Maximals and reclaiming Cybertron.
The only problem is that they’re very cautious about how they go about doing it. And other Predacons like Megatron and Magmatron think they plan too slowly. And any opportunity they have of retaking Cybertron will be far too late.
Lawful evil
Something that never made sense about this.
They keep talking about being able to track when the wave would reach Cybertron like it's in real time. But they traveled back in time to get to Earth in the first place and are thousands of years in the past relative to when they left Cybertron.
They are completely out of sync with the normal timeline so if the wave reached Cybertron when they said it did then it would be thousands of years before they ever left, before the Maximals and Predicons were even around.
If the Wave traveled forward in time as they described, then the concept of saying "its should get there now" is meaningless. It will get there thousands of years in the future and then the Maximals (or in this case Predacons) will send help who will arrive whenever their time machines are set to arrive.
Time travel really makes things complicated -__-
Huh that’s a good question but it is still a good show
There is a leftover portal that the cast used in the first episode that causes anything that goes near it to travel back and forth through time. That how the wave reach future cybertron and, when the Agent went to follow the wave source, hit the same portal and travel to the past.
