the optimus hologram using primal's head makes sense when you remember it was made as a trap by megatron.

They accidentally lost the model of Prime’s head from S3 of Beast Wars so they used Primal’s from S1 of BW to replace it.

[@andrewk9000]

My first thought when I saw that Megatron had conquered Cybertron was how did he get there before Optimus Primal and the others? It must have been a quirk of Transwarp Drive

[@davidm4566]

Transwarp here reminds me of the Planet of the Apes from around 2000. You can exit it at one time but arrive earlier. A lit of timely wimey stuff.

[@number-qx1kw]

It's because the transwarp drive travels in both time and space When megatron escape he was stuck in distant past Meanwhile the maximal were still heading to the future so megatron had time to get to cybertron and Conquer it they arrived

there were plans of making an sequel of Beast Machines when the show ended that being Transformers Transtech in which old g1 characters like optimus prime and starscream would have returned to meet the remaining maximals on the now terraformed cybertron and the return of autobots and decepticons too but sadly the show was only in concept stage and didn't see the light of the day

[@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002]

I still like Beast Wars but fair enough.

[@troncron2458]

In Nightscream's flashback I could tell that a bunch of those bots either looked like Soundwave or Prowl but those 2 bots walking together looked like Transmetal II Dinobot without his shoulder armor, that red one looked like Transmetal Tarantulas without his spider legs or shoulder pads, and that one guy who disappeared in the flash of light looked like Rattrap's first body

[@Wing-Zero-si1eu]

The last part with Primal talking to what he thought was a holographic tribute to his ancestor, is what I imagine Nero meeting Sparda himself would be like. With the new Legendary Devil Hunter asking his late grandfather(the Legendary Dark Knight) for guidance. Guidance of what it means to be a hero, even though they are just Demons? Especially what it means to be a father, who knows how to protect his family. Since Sparda failed to protect his, despite being dead, which got his wife killed by Mundus’s minions. And Dante & Vergil becoming orphans, who were force to fight for their father’s powers.

[@Comkill117]

Not the first place I’d guess to find a DMC connection, but cool to read nonetheless.

[@MalcolmRandall]

3:31 I'm sure millions of fans would have loved it if Peter Cullen came back to do the voice of hologram Prime.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

But since the Beast Shows were recorded in Canada, it wouldn’t have been possible to have Peter Cullen to voice Optimus unless remote voice acting was invented in the 90s.
