Beastwars - Depthcharge dies

Depthcharge dies fighting his nemissis Rampage.

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

Rampage is one of the most fascinating characters in Beast Wars to me, at first he seems like a monster but his actions in Transmutate and how he willingly embraced his death imply there was more to him.

[@RequiemPoete]

Plus he got to take Depth Charge with him.

[@ladyaceina]

he also told black arachnia at one point "i regret every thing ive ever done my sweet" he is a monster and its all he can possibly be thanks to what the maximalls did to him death was a release for him

"Raw energon! Right through your twisted spark! Take it, you sickening piece of slag!!!" (C) Depth Charge, going out lika a boss and a true badass.

[@schaddenkorp6977]

You left out “take it right to the Pit”

[@bencaroline8548]

Here lies Depthcharge, who died circa 70,000 Stellar Cycles BC, his remains floating in the water. He was a warrior with the heart of a Cybertronian hunter. He gave his life to destroy Rampage, formerly Protoform X. May Depthcharge R.I.P and his spark live well in the Matrix, the afterlife.

[@RealGateGuardian]

Till all are one, and now, his watch is ended.

[@austinmorrison6953]

Good lord sweet Primus you can feel the PAIN and HATRED in those last words as he tries to kill Rampage once and for all! The only thing better is Rampage's laugh when he realizes he finally gets to die!

[@Julie_b33]

I remember watching this as a child when the episode came out, a different time, with my mother, and we both looked at eachother in shock at the primal exchange of profanity. It was in the spirit of the words, not the words themselves. Quite a scene and the most memorable in the series for me.

[@parker469a]

There the second most memorable to me but still even decades later still in the top five. Number one being: "The ultimate risk, for the ultimate prize, a day of reckoning for those who made us slaves!" "In memory of the Decepticons! For the glory of the Predacons! For the Cybertron that is rightfully ours... and mine to rule! Farewell!"

[@geocross237]

HY! And his pre-mortem words were so hardcore. "RAW ENERGON! Right through your twited spark! TAKE IT! TAKE IT STRAIGHT TO THE PIT, YOU SICKENING PIECE OF SLAAAAAG!!!" So. Freakin. PRIME.

[@jayjay86443]

And then the scream, Jesus. He used all of his soul to finish him.

[@keiman74]

Depthcharge's move at 2:06 was super smooth. In fact, their whole energon sword fight was choreographed like a samurai or hong kong action movie. This show really was way ahead of its time.

[@BretGammons]

If the phrase "underwater sword fight" doesn't make you tremble with awesome, the great character touches just might. This is exactly how Rampage and Depthcharge would go out.

[@arbiterprime2145]

"underwater raw energon crystal sword fight"

[@psychokitty444]

Five movies in and for all the robot-gore, I still don't think we've gotten any deaths this hardcore.

[@primerprime596]

psychokitty444 Ironhide. Don't deny it. His death made almost everyone cry.

[@xxrocketshark216xx4]

Glucose Guardian *pfft* Yeah no. The only Ironhide worse than Movie Ironhide is Energon Ironhide. I couldnt have been happier when that imposter died

[@idunno7516]

Dinobot?

[@idunno7516]

@電話 You got that right.

[@SHADOWDRAGON71]

Naw, I'm down with @psychokitty444. Depth Charge was every PIECE of Beast Warrior AND Maximal. True to the cause, but he believed in seeing things through, even at the cost of his life. He knew his life's mission was to take out Protoform X and wasn't about to go out without doing so. Dude was a BOSS!!!

[@odd-eyesdragoon]

“You had friends there, as I recall. Tasty ones, too!”

[@vegeta353658]

Hasbro killed off almost all the cool characters in this show! Tigerhawk dies right after this!

You just don't get cartoon scenes like this any more. Depthcharge and Dinobot are easily the most bad ass characters of my childhood.

[@flow5tate346]

"But I'm afrad that Depth Charge.....has paid the ultimate price."

[@piplup2009]

Depthcharge did rampage a favour by killing him

[@mitchellskene8176]

One can also say Rampage did Depth Charge a favour by taking Depth Charge with him.

[@Gold.1720]

​@@mitchellskene8176 Why?

[@lel0uchvibritannia981]

Anyone remember that Atlantean episode of g1, where the Decepticons teamed with those humanoid fish people? I wonder if their advancement in technology was due to finding the remains of Depthcharge

Not just Depthcharge, but the Maximal ship.

richard that person u don't know Cux Waspinator still had his spark.

[@jayjay86443]

[@cursiver]

i love how its was a kids show, but they killed off so many main characters, kept me so interested, specially the last episode.

[@pedrorosa3300]

It was a war. Casualties happen invite sides.

[@2Brian]

Depthcharge was played excellently by David Sobolov.

[@hmrhuang]

Great scene! Love Depth Charge's final words to Rampage -- his hate and vindictivenessfor that twisted Maximal turned Predacon just felt so satisfying!

[@seanwhitehall4652]

1:37 he was just starting to grow as a character. "I have no time for you X." is not something he would have said before knowing about the nemesis threat. He was just starting to see there was more for him than hunting X.

[@aaroneclipse514]

And then Rampage just had to taunt him over killing and eating his friends. In the end, Depth-Charge was just too far gone.

[@Gangerworld]

Depthcharge went out like a fucking boss. God this show was awesome.

[@JamestheLess1976]

depthcharge was needed after dinobot died, a battle hungry maximal who wasnt soft , they were very similar in some ways

[@Dubyah_B]

Would have been interesting if those two had met.

[@yes4motivation]

the dinobot clone showed how 'better' dinobot was pound for pound against depthcharge, as for dinobot 1 yeah they would of been a good team and probaly become a power duo of the maximals like rampage and dinobot 2 were for the predacons after inferno was nerfed

Dinobot and Depth Charge were my favorite Characters and they both at least did what they had to do in the end.

[@randoliz]

I think we can agree that Dinobot's death was the saddest of beast wars while depthcharge and rampage's was the darkest

I think Rampage wanted to accept his fate, because he wanted to be with Transmutate and maybe be freed from Megatron

The Canadian airing of this scene actually shows Depth Charge running the blade straight through Rampage's chest at the end... no wonder this show sticks out in my mind now.

Rampage let him do it. These 2 would've fought forever otherwise

[@rkmugen]

I remember when they originally showed this on UPN (which would eventually become "The CW" network).... they kept this scene in its entirety. But when FOX got hold of the rights to air it, i recall that they over-dubbed the line Depthcharge says before killing-off Rampage with something a lot less... 'hardcore'.... for lack of a better word. Damned lightweights!

[@bromicorn]

Depth charge was my introduction to beast wars because i got spoiled his death when i was surfing through youtube back in 2011,i like manta rays,i love Transformers,i like revenge stories,why not jumble all 3 to make my favorite maximal

Depht Charge and Rampage had died after they died after the energon exploded.

[@CommanderBohn]

@Velox415 Plus, did you know that in the toy bio, Depthcharge has a underling named Cybershark. His beast mode is that of a hammerhead shark, has a cutlass and behaves like a swashbuckling adventurer.

[@CommanderBohn]

@Velox415 In the first ep. where Depthcharge appears, Optimus tells everyone about Omicron V. Ravage mocks Depthcharge with the memory of Starbase Rugby in the first part of the grand finale. Go to Transformers Wiki, look for Deptcharge, read everything about him, and you'll know about it. Plus the no reference to humans was because the producers didn't explain it well (or forgot to mention it).

[@Gprime001]

3rd sadest death optimus was first dinobot then depthcharge may his spark rest in piece

[@Pefonmo]

Good bye for ever.Depthcharge the maximal

[@Tighclops]

Agreed. Animated was decent, but none of the cartoons have been anywhere as good as the Beast era.

[@dreamboynyc2]

Beast Wars/Beast Machines was the last great Transformers animated series. The ones out today (Energon, Armada etc) are far too cartoony, simplistic and childish. Beast Wars dealt with heavy themes like redemption, death, malice, vendettas, etc. It was an animated series for young adults, not some goofy japanimation garbage like the TF series they have out today. I miss this show so much. "Take it right to the pit you sickening piece of SLAAAGG!" Greatest line ever.

What about Dinobot? This scene would never have even come to pass if it weren't for him.

[@cookiecrumbgaming9026]

Probably an error

[@vocalist92]

@Nickster891 because hez been transmetallized. transmetals can absorb the effects of energon and expel it. in Rampages first episode, cheetor 'farts' energon because of the high amounts in the area they're in

[@VVV953]

Dinobot, tigatron, airazor depth charge, and tigerhawk( yes I know he's a combination of tigertron and air razor, but still counting him as a separate maximal) are the main maximals that at least have the luxury of dying in Beast Wars, thank God they didn't suffer a crappy fate as Beast Machines whereas Optimus and rhinox survived the beast wars only to die in Beast Machines

[@Jarock316]

For Rhinox, his spark was corrupted by Megatron before turning him into Tankor. His death freed him of that corruption.

[@deadpool1524]

I think though they learned a lession from Beast Wars. Unlike its predicesor Beast wars only started out with a total of ten charatcers, which gave plenty of space for character development and thus more likeable characters. Nowadays all the transformers shows do the same thing instead of starting off with two large armies.

[@Cryomancer1717]

2:06 the Moment you Knew: Depth Charge had enough of Rampage.

Lisa Latham To be fair, he and Depth Charge aren't exactly friends. Just teammates. Depth Charge loathe Optimus for failing on his job to ship Rampage on a distant planet. Even though He and Optimus put aside their disagreement just this once, Depth Charge followed his main goal to the very end in which killed him.
