Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Maximal's northern scout was Tigatron. When Tigatron was giving his weekly report, which Predacons ambushed him?

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.
2. During the ambush, Tigatron was knocked off the cliff, and fell into a mysterious cloud containing a floating island. What was the secret island like?

Answer: A paradise

The floating island was one of the many artificial structures left on the planet by the enigmatic aliens. The island traveled around the planet in a dark cloud to conceal it. Despite Tigatron being ambushed in the snowy north, the island's tropical climate was maintained inside the cloud.
3. How were Tigatron's ambushers defeated?

Answer: The island's defenses

Terrorsaur and Waspinator accidentally activated the island's defenses, and were severely damaged.

Airazor was watching the Predacon base when she saw a badly beaten and burned Terrasaur and Waspinator return. The Masimals knew it was not Tigatron's style to brutally defeat his opponents, and suspected a third party. The island, despite being a paradise, had a tower at the center that could fire a strong defensive laser weapon.
4. Which Maximal went to investigate Tigatron's ambush on the snowy peak?

Answer: Optimus Primal

The Predacons were able to ambush Tigatron because he predictably went to a transmission tower for his weekly reports. Tigatron was talking to the Maximals when he was attacked, and Optimus rushed to help. Optimus arrived well after the battle, but could not find any indication that Tigatron had been scrapped.
5. Who did Megatron send to investigate the floating island?

Answer: Scorponok and Blackarachnia

Scorponok was could use his cyber bees to easily scout areas. Because both his fliers were down, Megatron had to send one of his spiders to access the island. Blackarachnia was the less cunning of the two. Megatron also gave Scorponok special instructions to eliminate Blackarachnia, should she become selfish and betray the Predacons.
6. How did the Predacon scout team get onto the island?

Answer: Grappled it and climbed from below

The Predacon spiders were known for using webs and grapples to get around. Scorponok and Blackarachnia tracked down the cloud, and Scorponok used his cyber bee to see what was inside. He verified that the island did indeed exist, but was startled when Tigatron suddenly ambushed the bee mid-flight.

Blackarachnia fired her grapple gun into the cloud, hooking the island. Scorponok held on, and was free to use his missiles for defense.
7. Who was the second Maximal to land on the floating island (the first was Tigatron)?

Answer: Airazor

Airazor was tracking the Blackarachnia and Scorponok, and was surprised to see Blackarachnia trying to grapple a cloud. She was even more surprised to see that it actually worked.

She followed the pair into the cloud, but Scorponok shot her down with one of his missiles. Tigatron saw the unconscious Airazor fall, and rushed to her aid.
8. What triggered the island's laser defense?

Answer: The use of energy weapons

The island was meant to be a peaceful paradise. It tried to destroy anything that would bring violence. If energy weapons were ever detected on the island, it would use its strong central laser to destroy the source.
9. Which character did NOT ever activate the island's defensive weapon?

Answer: Blackarachnia

When Terrorsaur and Waspinator first flew into the cloud, they tried to shoot Tigatron. The island responded by roasting them both and they barely made it back to their base. Tigatron was the first to deduce the trigger. He was almost crushed by one of the island's other traps, and used his gun to defend himself.

The island nearly roasted him. He vowed to be peaceful during his stay on the island. Finally, Scorponok shot down Airazor, which nearly got him destroyed by the island. Blackarachnia quickly figured out that the laser was triggered by energy weapons, and was smart enough to not use hers.
10. How did Tigatron warn the rest of the Maximals about the dangerous situation

Answer: He sent a message on a cyber bee

Before Blackarachnia and Scorponok arrived on the island, Scorponok sent one of his cyber bees to scout it out. Tigatron took down the bee, and reprogrammed it to fly to the Maximal base with a warning. He added one of Airazor's feathers to show that the bee was friendly, but the only reason it survived was because Cheetor missed when trying to shoot it down.
