Beast Wars - Season 1 Trivia

1. Tarantulas and Blackarachnia infiltrated the Maximal base, and caught the Maximals stationed there by surprise. Which two Maximals were ambushed and strung up in webs?

From Quiz Episode 26: "Other Voices, Part 2"

Answer: Dinobot and Rhinox

The spiders actually did this at the end of the previous episode, but it wasn't until now that the Maximals found them. Optimus Primal ordered that the incapacitated Maximals be put in the CR Chamber to repair, and a search to find the Predacons in the base. Tigatron and Cheetor together outside the base, and Rattrap and Airazor returned from the alien structure with Optimus Primal. Terrorsaur and Waspinator were often paired together, but they were Predacons.

From Quiz Episode 25: "Other Voices, Part 1"

Answer: A stasis pod

Tarantulas was planning to build an escape ship for himself out of a stasis pod. He had tried to steal Inferno's pod for this purpose in the episode "Spider's Game", but it was destroyed. There were no new pods projected to land soon enough, so Tarantulas (at Blackarachnia's suggestion) decided to go to the Maximal base to steal an empty one. Tarantulas already had a transwarp cell from the Predacon base, and did not need a protoform (often found in stasis pods). He certainly did not need Megatron's rubber duck.

From Quiz Episode 24: "Before the Storm"

Answer: Inferno (Predacon)

Inferno was a perfect candidate to investigate and secure the new energy source. He was an ant who could fly while in robot mode, meaning he could fly to the source and then use his beast mode to dig through the mountain. No one else even showed up before Inferno had his prize.

From Quiz Episode 23: "Law of the Jungle"

Answer: The food chain

The opening of this episode showed a dragonfly getting eaten by a frog, which was soon eaten by a snake, only to be carried off by a hawk. This was merely foreshadowing the brutal themes that would be present in this episode.

From Quiz Episode 22: "The Low Road"

Answer: Clearing brush around the base

The land around the Maximal base had recently become overrun with wild bean vines. They would have offered plenty of cover for any Predacons trying to get close, so they had to be removed. Rattrap was out using one of Optimus' swords, and Dinobot used his velici-rotor.

From Quiz Episode 20: "Dark Voyage"

Answer: Mining Energon

Energon was a power source that all the transformers used. The planet they were on was rich in the substance, which was to the detriment of the transformers. Energon had a special radiation that the transformers could only be exposed to for short times before going into stasis lock. To combat this, the transformers adopted the forms of the local wildlife to shield themselves. Mining Energon was a difficult task. The unstable crystals had to be handled with care, and most of the work had to be done in beast mode.

From Quiz Episode 19: "Call of the Wild"

Answer: Cheetor

The first signs that the transformers were being affected by their beast modes was that they were having dreams about being their animal forms. This was occurring before the Maximals were even forced to be in their beast modes. Cheetor was having a dream in which he was chasing a gazelle through the jungle, when suddenly the ground opened up beneath him and he fell into lava. Cheetor awoke to the base sirens blaring, indicating a Predacon attack.

From Quiz Episode 18: "Spider's Game"

Answer: The Predacon and Maximal bases

Tarantulas was always officially a Predacon, but he also had an agenda of his own. Unlike some of the other Predacons, who would sometimes challenge Megatron for leadership, Tarantulas had grander designs. In this instance, Tarantulas did not want either the Predacons or the Maximals to interfere with his plans. In the first season, Tarantulas would work on his own projects without necessarily telling Megatron, but in the second and third seasons, Tarantulas would start to actively work against the Predacon leader.

From Quiz Episode 17: "The Trigger" Part 2

Answer: Blackarachnia

Blackarachnia and Scorponok were walking along the path to the obelisk at the centre of the island. Blackarachnia noticed a strange symbol and moved to inspect it. When she did, the ground beneath her fell out. She would have plummeted off the island, but she was quick with her web and caught herself. Airazor, who was still recovering, saw the whole thing. She told Tigatron that the strange symbol seemed to mark traps. Tigatron asked if it was like the one they were standing beside. They were caught in a narrow canyon that suddenly tried to crush them. Tigatron had to use his weapon to blast them out, and was almost destroyed by the obelisk for doing so.

From Quiz Episode 16: "The Trigger" Part 1

Answer: Terrorsaur and Waspinator

In season 1 of "Beast Wars", flight was an ability that only a few characters had. The two Predacons who had flight capabilities were Terrorsaur and Waspinator, and so Megatron often used the pair as scouts and ambushers. Terrorsaur and Waspinator were one of the most frequent pairings of characters (along with Rattrap and Dinobot) in the series.

From Quiz Episode 15: The Spark

Answer: Little Cat/Big Cat

When referring to each other, Cheetor and Tigatron usually use the names Little Cat and Big Cat. Rattrap used the nicknames Spots and Stripes on various occasions, and Cheetor sometimes referred to himself as Fast Cat. Tigatron prided himself on his hunting and stalking abilities, and was much more effective in the wild than in a base.

From Quiz Episode 12: "Victory"

Answer: Terrorsaur

It seemed that Megatron was performing an experiment in which he was trying to enlarge an Energon crystal, when it all went belly-up. He told Terrorsaure to bring another, but Terrorsaur refused, and led a rebellion with Scorponok and Waspinator. They started firing at Megatron, and hit some sensitive equipment, severely damaging their base, and destroying the spy cam that the Maximals were using to watch the events unfold.

From Quiz Episode 10: "Gorilla Warfare"

Answer: Dinobot

Dinobot was out in the field as Optimus' backup. He did not like wandering around in the open exploring. He complained that it was strategically unsound, and that they were targets. Optimus ignored him, and insisted that he could still explore the planet and learn things, despite being locked in conflict with the Predacons.

From Quiz Episode 9: "A Better Mousetrap"

Answer: Terrorsaur

The three Predacons seen were Blackarachnia, Waspinator, and Terrorsaur. Waspinator eventually got fed up with his colleagues' criticism and flew off. The Maximals, back at their base, picked up his signature, and noted that it was the third Predacon seen in that particular sector in three days, which warranted investigation. These three Predacons were the only ones seen in this episode.

From Quiz "Beast Wars" - Season 1

Answer: Energon

Energon is found in the forms of glowing blue crystals. It stores immense amounts of energy, but is also quite unstable. Many Energon deposits are destroyed throughout "Beast Wars" by the transformers in attempts to destroy each other. The fields caused by the Energon are the reason why the transformers need alternate beast modes. If they stay in robot mode too long, the fields will send them into stasis lock. Later in the series, in season three, we find out that the alien species, the Vok, seeded Earth with Energon, hoping that by the time humans came into existence, the Energon would have all transformed into stable Energon cubes, that the humans could have then used as a clean and efficient fuel source.

From Quiz Episode 8: "Double Jeopardy"

Answer: Tarantulas

Optimus and Dinobot were out searching for the stasis pod at the beginning of the episode, with Rattrap directing them from the base. They were within a few feet of it... Horizontally. It was up on top a frozen cliff, and Optimus and Dinobot were down in the boxed in canyon. Before they had a chance to do anything, though, the Predacons attacked. Waspinator and Terrorsaur from the air, and Scorponok from the canyon's opening. The Maximals were outnumbered, surrounded, and without cover. Optimus tried to chase after the fliers, who had the pod, but was shot down. In the end, the Predacons had a new member, and the Maximals were left with their suspicions of a rat in their midst.

From Quiz Episode 7: "Fallen Comrades"

Answer: No one

Optimus was the only Maximal flier for the longest time, and only in robot mode. He could still take on both Waspinator and Terrorsaur with ease, though, both of which could fly in beast mode as well. Other fliers would be introduced later in the series, such as Airazor and Inferno. In season two, in which many transformers gained new bodies, and with new characters being introduced, many transformers ended up having the ability to fly. For the first while, though, the lack of flight proved to be a major obstacle that both factions had to adapt to.

From Quiz Episode 6: "Power Surge"

Answer: Bald Eagle

After gulping down his meal, Terrorsaur commented that it was good to be a Predacon. He then flew around a corner and encountered the mysterious floating mountain.

From Quiz Episode 5: Chain of Command

Answer: Standing Stones

The Standing Stones look very similar to Stonehenge, although it's more complete. The transformers saw the stones in the second episode, but had no time to investigate. There was also a large pile of rocks at the center of the structure that got blown up in the opening battle. The Standing Stones were the first indication that there was a third party in the Beast Wars. Rhinox also commented that the Energon on the planet did not match its geology, another reason to suspect that Earth had been tampered with.

From Quiz Episode 4: "Equal Measures"

Answer: A heavy storm was approaching

The episode opened up with Optimus watching a mountain as it was struck by lighting and was somehow disintegrated, revealing a large amount of Energon. He tried to radio in to call off the mission, but the heavy storm was too strong, and interfering with communications. The revealed Energon was coincidental, and did not seem to affect Optimus' decision.

From Quiz Episode 3: "The Web"

Answer: A Longrange Comlink

Rhinox had been working for a month to get a new long-range comlink. The original ones the Maximals had were good up to only a hundred meters. Cheetor's task was to run away from the base to test its range, and was ordered to return to base immediately if he detected Predacons.

From Quiz Episode 2: "Beast Wars" Part 2

Answer: His swords

Optimus and Dinobot were fighting on a bridge, so the use of energy weapons would have been substantially more dangerous to both combatants due to the close-quarters nature of the fight. Dinobot's preferred weapons were close ranged ones, such as his spinning sword and velocirotor (a spinning pair of blades that also go by a variety of other names), and Optimus had to fight with weapons that could combat them. Optimus' weapon set included all of the weapons mentioned above, although you do not ever see his flail in the TV series (his toy came with one, though).

From Quiz Episode 26: "Other Voices, Part 2"

Answer: A super weapon

The moon transformed into a giant disc and focusing dish, which began shining a heat ray on the planet. The plants were catching fire, and the reactive Energon crystals began to detonate.

From Quiz Episode 24: "Before the Storm"

Answer: A second golden disk

The first Golden Disc was the golden record on the Voyager spacecraft, launched in 1977. In the fictional "Transformers" universe, the Predacons stole it, and used it to find Earth. This second disc would become known as the Alien Disc, and was covered in alien markings seen in previous episodes. It would play an important role in the second season of "Beast Wars".

From Quiz Episode 23: "Law of the Jungle"

Answer: He was not given the signal

Terrorsaur was in charge, but Inferno decided to attack without waiting for the signal. Terrorsaur jumped in to help, but was blasted back to Waspinator. When he asked why Waspinator wasn't attacking, Waspinator responded simply that he hadn't been given the signal. Terrorsaur promptly gave it.

From Quiz Episode 22: "The Low Road"

Answer: Rhinox

Rattrap and Dinobot got into an argument, and did not hear the warning of approaching Predacons. Sentinel could not be brought online until everyone was inside, and so Rhinox stood at the foot of the entrance to provide cover for the two Maximals caught outside. Despite being under attack, the two still did not stop bickering.

From Quiz Episode 20: "Dark Voyage"

Answer: No one

"You missed." "Did I? Look again, moron." -Dinobot and Scorponok Dinobot found a particularly large vein of Energon, and called over his Maximal allies. Out of nowhere, an arrow landed in the middle of the Maximals. Scorponok and Waspinator appeared above, on a ledge. The Maximals thought Scorponok had missed, but he had actually planted the arrow in the Energon, destabilizing it. The vein blew up with the Maximals standing right on top of it. Scorponok wasn't sure there would even be any scraps of the Maximals to salvage.

From Quiz Episode 19: "Call of the Wild"

Answer: Cheetor and Dinobot

Cheetor ran into the main room of the Maximal base, where everyone else was already dealing with the Predacon threat. When he asked what he could do, Rattrap snapped at him to first transform. When in robot mode, Dinobot picked up the young transformer, and the two of them left the base. They ran at, and tackled Tarantulas and Scorponok.

From Quiz Episode 18: "Spider's Game"

Answer: Blackarachnia

Tarantulas kept a secret, hidden lair where he could scheme in private. Blackarachnia, possibly from being another spider, was able to find it. Instead of revealing the hiding spot to Megatron, she offered to team up with Tarantulas as a spider duo, which might one day dispose Megatron. Tarantulas offered to let her help, but still did not tell her about his real loyalties and goals. Rattrap and Cheetor had also both been to Tarantulas' lair in earlier episodes, but never seemed to use that knowledge.

From Quiz Episode 17: "The Trigger" Part 2

Answer: Rattrap

Tigatron needed help on the floating island. The only Maximal with flight capabilities was Optimus Primal, and the only Maximal small enough for him to carry was Rattrap. Rattrap was not thrilled to be flown around at high speeds, holding on with just his tiny rat paws.
