The return of Optimus is meant to be the highlight here, but for me nothing in BW visually beats the Predacon slow walk, spurs clinking and guns spinning.
Same here. Even Waspinator looks badass during it. You feel like Megatron's posse should all be wearing black cowboy hats for this sequence, but that might've been taking it too far.
In MY opinion, NO darn Predacon shall EVER beat Optimus Primal, even though he's Optimus Prime's younger brother. And like he said in Transformers: Earth Wars, Optimus Primal did go round the block with the Matrix, so I guess he qualifies as a Prime, just like his big brother, Optimus Prime. And like Optimus Primal always says, "Well, that's just Prime." THAT'S what one of his prized students Crown Princess Elena Flores of Avalor always says as well, since SHE recently became a Human Prime, just like her BFF Queen Elsa Brown (from the movie "Frozen").
I also like the scene earlier before the preds attack while they're gathering... Megaton pulls out a futuristic watch counting the movement of the sun while each of predacons arrive to attack.
Imagine being a kid and watching this though. Primal died in early April, and this season of _Beast Wars_ started in late October. Nearly *_seven months_* with no Optimus Primal, his death is all that was shown of him in the Season 2 intro. You wouldn't be blamed for thinking that Primal was dead for good. And then this happens, and he comes back in a blaze of glory when the rest of the Maximals are at their darkest hour. The only thing missing is Stan Bush's _The Touch_
@@jaredhamilton425 It’s worth noting that this was _well_ before the “Optimus dies then comes back to life later” thing was an actual thing. Literally nobody would be blamed for thinking that Optimus’ death was the final one. After all, _Beast Wars_ was so different compared to the original cartoon. Who knew if Optimus was staying dead or not?
@@dudebladeX well I mean, suspense in general, cliffhangers like this just aren’t around anymore because all the new episodes basically get dropped all at once and practically every show in existence is now easy to find in some way because of the internet and all the streaming services like Netflix and Prime.
@@jaredhamilton425Here’s my theory. Optimus Primal never died. He just got sent through the time stream to the era of Beast Wars II, where he helped Lio Convoy defeat Megazarak before returning to his own time. This explains why Rhinox couldn’t find Primal’s spark in Coming of the Fuzors.
Just one if many _many_ moments in the franchise’s history that call for The Touch that don’t have it. I mean, one of the best parts of the new comics have Optimus 1v1 Devastator and said issue has a blatant cue for it “You Know The Song”
I had transmetal Optimus primal toy it was fun to play with when I was a kid. One of my friends had t-rex megatron and scorponoc it they were cool especially since megatron if I remember correctly had a water squirter were it would blast from the T-Rex mouth if I remembering right
I won't lie. I was a young 80s kid when the first Optimus Prime died in 1986 in Transformers The Movie traumatized me. Seeing Optimus Primal die and then come back and deliver his line....I cried in joy.
I remember screaming in excitement like YES YES YES OPTIMUS!!! as a kid. His return really end up epic. I mean come on, u saw him die from that explosion in space, then he comes bac!!
@@returnedtomonkey8886 Agreed. Sadly.....pretty much all of todays cartoons are trash. Last good Transformers cartoon was Transformers Prime. While not as good as Beast Wars it still offered a good story and characters and was enjoyable. The Transformers cartoons that came after it.....total trash on every single level.
@@_V.Va_ You don't need to watch every single show in existence to hold that opinion. It's a reasonable conclusion to come to when you watch a bunch of shows and they're all bad. You don't need to be pedantic on this. Why don't you provide an example of a recent cartoon that you think is good instead of trying to start arguments over technicalities?
This series is just classic through it's writing, voice acting and characterisation. There's tons of memorable stuff, just remember when Netflix botches Kingdoms with their non union icky VAs and hacks like Brandon Easton writing it, this is still here.
Cheo Wesley Me too.This show is freaking awesome plus it,s just fun.Yes,the animation can be improved but who cares,this show is so much and alot of fun to watch.I prefer this show over the dissapointing Transformers RID 2015 anyday,anytime and anywhere.
Cheo Wesley I heard rumours about a movie who are the predacons here in this scene aside from megatron and Waspinator I thought scorponok would be here
I enjoyed this whole western feel I mean come on how could you not both inferno and optimus have a duel type thing where they take there time drawing weapons
From the white smoke onwards the music just goes into one, who ever did that was having great fun. Soon as it goes my turn and gets his turret guns out music goes insane and quite right.
Funny little extra bit of symbolism here. The Predacons are reveling in Cowboy and western tropes (Thanks Quickstrike) but SIlverbolt draws on Native American imagery in his Robot Mode. It makes for a nice bit of thematic weight when he switches to the good guys.
Transmetal Optimus primal was my favorite transformer toy ans that is why Transmetal Optimus is my favorite optimus primal form. Although all three optimus primal forms are cool.
Somethings about this scene hit me as an adult that I didn't quite catch as a kid #1, prior to this scene we see Silverbolt wake up from the CR Chamber and he must have filled Optimus in on what was going on when he left his stasis pod #2 Optimus says to hell with a door and blows a whole in the Axalon because of the urgency of the situation #3 though we the viewer knew who it was, we still couldn't see it because the smoke hadn't cleared, but the combatants all could see who it was and the difference in their reactions was everything, Megatron and the Predacons are all like "oh fuck" while the Maximals all breathed the biggest relief, especially Cheetor, him snapping to stand up despite not being able to stand earlier from fighting all night was just, well Prime.
My opinion: the best version of Optimus primal. Even better than Optimal Optimus look. I like the robot mode and the beast mode as well. The vehicle mode is amazing: a shining blue gorilla surfer 😂😂 I'ts a shame. We had just a few episodes with this form. Perfect entrace: "well that's just prime!"
He was caught off guard by Silverbolts attack and wasnt in beast mode (the only mode in which he could fly). He probably adapted quick enough to save himself before he hit the ground.
How many of you had a bunch of these toys as a kid, and got so god at transforming them that you could do each of them without looking at the instructions?
Their ship had an armory, which contained riot shields and extra guns/weapons. Though rarely seen, the shields were used multiple times throughout the series.
I'm pretty sure if they ever make a masterpiece figure of that version of him it will probably include it after all the Masterpiece line is known for including parts that either the character Barely Used or only used once like with Beast Wars Megatron toothbrush
The amount of cowboy movie energy. Chef's kiss
I bet the writers and animators watched some westerns before they made this ep
From Primal's epic return to Silverbolt switching sides... love it!

As kids my friends and I followed the show. We went nuts when primal returned. And wondered when the toy would come out.

Primal has a literal artillery emplacement for his main weapon.
The fricking madlad.
"Well that's just Prime."
Aldred Scarlett Trancy who are the predacons in this scene
@@drakedy2145 Trantules, Wazbanator, Inferno, Quickstrike, Megatron and Silverbolt
Aldred Scarlett Trancy I think that snake from the beast wars film is Quickstrike
@@drakedy2145 Quickstrike is a fuzor and is a scorpion with a Cobra for a tail
Aldred Scarlett Trancy I just hope he will be in the beast wars film
Mainframe Entertainment had such a love for their work and the stories they told. I wish they were still making new stories.
Man to think that they do this show in mid. 90's imagine a remake or a remastered of this show!!!
Me too,
@@lorddarthkairos01 u would thik they would get one after the Rise of Beast movie
@@brandoonf6962 ah yes that movie . . . . . .
I won't lie. I was a young 80s kid when the first Optimus Prime died in 1986 in Transformers The Movie traumatized me.
Seeing Optimus Primal die and then come back and deliver his line....I cried in joy.
It's such a crime that this will not be the voice of Optimus primal in the next transformers movie.
@GrassAvoider01 Gary Chalk is still Optimus Primal,no offence to Ron Perlman but he doesn't give the vibe like Gary did
For real. I was born a few years after Beast Wars, but I was born early enough to first see Armada. Gary Chalk was definitely a great Optimus.
Here here!
@jaredhamilton425 I can see why
Transmetal Optimus Primal: Well That's Just Prime!
Awwww man! When i was a kid and i saw this. The whole time i was like come on Optimus your team needs you!
for some reason when I read it, in my head it was read in Rattrap's voice
Optimus primal kills waspinator the dumbest predacon
''Well, that's just prime."
"awwwlirght!!!" x'D God this show was BAD ASS!!!
megatron this is the debut of this new form you cant hurt him
I always loved the sound effect of the barrel spin when Tarantulas is walking with the Preds to finish the Maximals
One of the reasons this was the series of all transformers
I remember screaming in excitement like YES YES YES OPTIMUS!!! as a kid. His return really end up epic. I mean come on, u saw him die from that explosion in space, then he comes bac!!
This was my favorite form of Optimus Primal.
That opening shot is amazing
1:38 In Transformers Prime Optimus should've say the same thing to Megatron: Flight is no longer your advantage
That would have been a pretty nice Nod actually
Awesome Return of Optimus Primal
0:48 there's no show that uses such an epic guitar riff today.

Same
I still get goosebumps even though I saw this years ago when I was a kid
You gotta admit it was really shocking and amazing
The music was epic for the scene
WELL, THAT'S JUST PRIME!
Welcome back, Optimus primal!
Before Thor arrived in Wakanda, Optimus had this epic return in the 90s.
Still awesome how Silverbolt had his own epic moment that doesn't overshadow Optimus's return,
"Well, I like your resume"
I don't think I ever cheered harder as a kid than when Optimus busts out the friggin pulse cannons.
I love this scene
Big Bot is back and feeling PRIME!!!!
Always been my favorite version of Primal
0:07 Me and the boys walking to the theaters to watch Rise of the Beasts like.
Me teaching my daughter math. "Dad what is the number 5" Me: " Well that's just prime!"
OMG I FRIGGIN LOVED BEAST WARS! UNDERRATED SHOW!
my all time favorite show, watched it when in first aired in 1997
Yo that standoff between Optimus and inferno was awesome
1:14 I am iron monkey
*Electric guitar riff*
I enjoyed this whole western feel I mean come on how could you not both inferno and optimus have a duel type thing where they take there time drawing weapons

Childhood memories
0:55 Well, that's just _Prime!!!!!!!!!!!_
"What should we make Optimus's new gun look like?"
"....how about a little lego loudspeaker"
"...you're hired!"
I know right he came from having a sick ass arm cannon to a pee shooter.
Wolf10media really?
It cancels out the bigass back cannon he got
More like an hairdryer
@@Wolf10media lol
0:55 Well, that’s just PRIME!
0:54
You vs everyone in elimination match
1:12
But you got an OP weapon
This is one of the Best episodes of Beast Wars!
Oh the memories
Somethings about this scene hit me as an adult that I didn't quite catch as a kid #1, prior to this scene we see Silverbolt wake up from the CR Chamber and he must have filled Optimus in on what was going on when he left his stasis pod #2 Optimus says to hell with a door and blows a whole in the Axalon because of the urgency of the situation #3 though we the viewer knew who it was, we still couldn't see it because the smoke hadn't cleared, but the combatants all could see who it was and the difference in their reactions was everything, Megatron and the Predacons are all like "oh fuck" while the Maximals all breathed the biggest relief, especially Cheetor, him snapping to stand up despite not being able to stand earlier from fighting all night was just, well Prime.
Primal forever !
Here here! 🦍
2:28 This planet ain't big enough for two of us, Predacon!
3:01 DRAW!
This might be the greatest moment in TV history
Of course who is the 1st pred blown to bits? that right everyone favorite pred good old Waspinator.
David K Waspinator is like the Donald Duck of Beast Wars. Always getting the short end of the proverbial stick.
Yo I didn't even notice that lmbo. Awesome man lmbo.
My opinion: the best version of Optimus primal. Even better than Optimal Optimus look. I like the robot mode and the beast mode as well. The vehicle mode is amazing: a shining blue gorilla surfer 😂😂
I'ts a shame. We had just a few episodes with this form.
Perfect entrace: "well that's just prime!"
Optimal Optimus was a copy of the First Form but bigger and with another color scheme. While still good, this form stand out from the rest.
Go optimus primal
Going into the goosebumps moment playlist
1:39 Megatron: Flying not longer your advantage Optimus
3:10 Also Megatron:Ah!!!!!!!!!
Me:???????????
He was caught off guard by Silverbolts attack and wasnt in beast mode (the only mode in which he could fly). He probably adapted quick enough to save himself before he hit the ground.
@@crylittlesister6377 uh no he can still fly in robot mode. Don't know why he didn't here though.
@@ironconvoy3831 You could say the same for G1 Megatron
Well... that's just Prime
**I LIKE YOUR RESUME... **
But...what's the point of knocking Megatron off the cliff....he just said he now can fly.
In the heat of battle sometimes people forget they have these abilities...
it's.....symbolic?
Yep it served him right all right
he has flew in robot mode e.g feral scream part 1
transfactory Yes and when he became a Transmetal 2 he flew in robot mode more often than not
Well that’s just prime!
How many of you had a bunch of these toys as a kid, and got so god at transforming them that you could do each of them without looking at the instructions?
I transform a transformer with the instructions once And I no longer need the instructions FOREVER
Haha i just bought the new kingdom optimus primal and didn't look at the instructions because i remembered how to transform the orginal
2:24 Inferno sounds almost exactly like G1 Megatron.
He does. Maybe he is G1 Megatron in diguise
@@therandomnessstrikes1435 maybe. (Just kidding, he's not g1 megatron)
At first I thought it was Welker but sadly not.
3:06 that sounds like Morty yelling some bullshit xD
I’ve always love that sound he made LOL
Nice shootin’, Tex. 😎
0:55 Well, that's just Prime!
That line from Silverbolt should have been safe for Slingshot from G1
Well, that's just Prime.
Move out predacons we have waited a long time for this 😎
The first part where all of the preds are loading their guns is like an old western show, the music
when you're level 100 and you're done toying with the level 10 enemies 1:12
1:40 Even Megaton seems to be excited to see Optimus returning.
Transformers Prime almost had this in season 3,but NO they had to cancel it!
Soo much optimus and megatrons in transformers.
Megatron is new grimlock
Optimus had the laziest little gun they took 5 seconds designing
Trumps return will be as epic as this moment in BW history!
You're a crazy person.
1:09 and that shield was never seen again
I always figured that was just a piece of scrap or general equipment from the ship

@@garganrose There is one now made by a third party company. it's called "Skateboard Gorilla".
Would be funny to see the Maximals and Predacons in cowboy outfits :)
at that point it should be an entire series with that setting
Silverbolt: Consider My Resignation From The Predacons, Megatron!
Well that just prime
Still hilarious how Tarantulas uses his buzzsaw as a gun.
The quantum surge made a new weapon on his body
Dinobot: at least we go… with honor…
Wisdom of Dinobot, the Predacon/Maximal Samurai
Hey look, its new toy prime.
Let's go buy it immediately!
It ain't Prime, but it's still good!
why does Inferno sound a little bit like Frank Welker when he says
"your turn to burn Optimus Primal"
Who else was recommended this video and still watched it because you love beast wars?
Anyone know the ost when Primal shows up?
2:26- Not today Inferno.
Man that western theme is so cool!!!
Finish it.....Yeeees
