I was too young for G1/G2, and didn't really get into it until Beast Wars was came out. I'd come home from school like :krs: watching Beast Wars.

Can someone tell me wtf happened to Optimus and Megatron/Galvatron after the original series? @Urbanmiracle school me breh.

Beast Wars :noah:

@Urbanmiracle glad to see someone else that's reading the current TF comics ... I felt like I was the only one :wow: Prowl is such a manipulative b*stard, this really is the best characterization he's ever had

As far as what happened to Optimus and Galvatron at the end of the show:

Depends on which continuity you follow. The original Beast Wars premise was that Megatron and Optimus Primal where the original Megatron and Prime in new bodies set in the present day. But then the show happened and changed all that. As far as the story goes:

The Autobots eventually win the Great War and Decepticons surrender and sign the Pax Cybertronia. Earth is banished from the Transformers. No one is allowed to go there. An event happens (Energon shortage perhaps) which forces the Autobots and Decepticons to upgrades into smaller e energy efficient bodies which they begin to call themselves Maximals and Predacons. Optimus Prime faded into obscurity. That's just the broad scope of what happened. More importantly, the Maximals begin to treat the Predacons as second class citizens. This causes a Predacons who takes up the name Megatron to steal a transwarp drive and the golden discs which details the location of earth (which was a top guarded secret), details of the great war and a message from the original Megatron. A group of Maximals give chase, end up through a wormhole which lands them on prehistoric earth.


And that's just the American cartoon continuity. The Japanese goes further. It's hard to answer that question because while Takara and Hasbro have been working on the toys together since 1984, story wise? Transformers have a multiverse. For instance:

Dreamwave: They had Mircomasters (Hasbro way of competing with micro machines) be the prototypes for the Maximals and Predacons.

Japanese: G2 shows some ties to Beast Wars as the Mircomasters Metro Squad lands on earth and find the Maximal symbol on a set of doors by the Ark.

Was my very 1st film I saw at the cinema, I was 6 and I still love it.

The soundtrack > ____________

My fave part:

"Megatron has to be stopped"
Prime transforms
"YOU GOT THE TOUCH" music comes on
Prime plowing down the Decepticons
Faces Megatron in a final battle
They both lose

Its mad how when your young you dont care that Megatron is about 10ft, but can transform in to a tiny handgun lol

I remember two kids at school getting into a heated argument over who Cyclonus is. Is it Bombshell or Skywarp? Apparently the debate still goes on to this very day. The things an animation error can cause. :wow:
My older who was 13yrs older than me had that debate every time we watched the movie up until he passed away. Cyclonus was even more loyal than Soundwave whereas Bombshell's treachery was only rivaled by Starscream and Swindle. Which makes me think it was Skywarp, Thundercracker would have made more sense because his personality is closer to Cyclonus and Skywarp and Scorge have similar personalities.
