BEAST WARS "Starscream possesses Waspinator"

[@thewhatnow9372]

I still cannot believe that out of the entire cast of Transformers, it was STARSCREAM that got to have the immortal spark that could possess people.

Starscream probably figured that Terrosaur would be harder to control then Waspinator plus he may have wanted Terrosaur as a possible ally at some point. It's probably why Megatron kept the two of them separated after they briefly took the Maximal Base.

Beast Wars was originally going to be a reboot, or at least, have nothing to do with G1 and start with different versions of Optimus and Megatron. The writers didn't even really know generic Transformers lore at first! But they were so good at their profession it still held up really well. Then later, the writers did look up G1 material and decided to somehow make Beast Wars's Megatron and Optimus as Cybertronians who fashioned themselves after the old legendary figures of Cybertron, and then later... well if I say anymore I'll be spoiling the story connections with G1. The writers did a good job somehow weaving plot threads into the G1 universe. Beast Wars is definitely up there in one of top 3 best written series of all Transformers cartoons.

He is the embodiment of "Man literally too angry too die"

[@Solitaire001]

A nice touch is in "Transformers: Animated." In that series Starscream gets a piece of the All-Spark embedded in his body. As a result he can't be killed. After supposedly being taken offline his body comes back on line. He keeps going after Megatron who easily defeats him over and over again. It gets to the point that it becomes very dull. Later, Starscream finally realizes that it's a bad idea to go after Megatron so he sets up his own base. There he creates five clones of himself and embeds a piece of his spark in each one. Each one activates with a part of his personality: (1) a sycophant, (2) a coward, (3) a liar, (4) an egomaniac, and (5) a female (when Starscream asks her "So, which part of me did you come from?" she responds "Don't ask.").

I know right this episode was brilliant but still I am confused how transformers have ghosts and G1 transformers didn't have sparks the only one who did was optimus that glowy thing in the matrix

[@Kenko706]

Actually, all Transformers have sparks-- the whole of their essence, their personality, their "soul" if you will. It merely almost never comes up in the older programs, because, well, kids show, means robots can die, the whole "never say die" thing from cartoons of the era... that sort of thing. But Starscream... Starscream is a... unique individual. Any other Cybertronian, when killed, they (usually) die. Their spark dissipates, they fade away, they go baibai. But for some reason-- which as far as I know, has never actually been explained-- Starscream's spark stays coherent-- indeed, so far indestructible. He can even possess almost any known mechanism of sufficient complexity. (This has not always worked to his advantage.) Starscream is immortal, or the closest you come in the G1 (and many later) continuities. Fortunately for the universe, he is nearly always an ultimately incompetent immortal, who has a positive talent for losing.

[@solrachernandez3389]

I've never seen any fiction saying they're related. Though if any future official fiction were to retroactively say so, I'd have no problem with it. It's a shame they killed Terrorsaur. He was one of my 3 favourite Predacons along with Megatron and Inferno.

[@WingNutZ100]

It would be wild if that same Starscream came back for a BeastWars movie 😂

[@K-11609]

What I’m wondering is that if this takes place in the distant past, how does Starscream end up here when he dies millions of years after these events?

[@t1t4n99]

Exactly mmmm the directors were not paying attention

[@raydhen8840]

Starscream actually mentions in this episode that his spark can travel through space & time. it does sounds plot convenience but at least it was not a plot hole.

[@ockertoustesizem1234]

apparently his spark time travelled using the same method that the maximals and predacons used in the first episode

[@Raceboy66.2]

I wonder why Megatron called Starscream by his military title of Air Commander then just calling him Starscream. maybe dinobum respected him as being an original Decepticon and the cause they had similar to Ravage?

[@SciFiLOLproductions]

Wait, I’m confused. I thought Beast Wars took place before the G1 Transformers woke up on earth?

[@VVV953]

Yeah I know it can be confusing but Beast Wars is actually both a prequel and a sequel to the G1 Transformers timeline. The world of Beast Wars actually takes place three centuries into the future after the Great War between the autobots and the Decepticons. Sometime after the events of the G1 series, the Transformers left Earth and made their way back to their home on Cybertron, and within the centuries of evolution and time, the Beast Wars Transformers would become The Descendants of the original G1 Transformers. That being the Autobots becoming the maximals and the Decepticons becoming the Predacons. The Beast Machines series would later explain the event was called the Great upgrade in which one became the other, Autobot to maximal and decepticon to Predacon. Anyhow when you watch the Beast Wars pilot and you see the ships going through portal crashing on the Earth, that's because they went traveling through time due to Predacon Megatron using transwarp technology. As the series went on , they would later explain that it was the Predacons mission to travel back in time and erase history due to Megatron possessing the golden disk.

[@Supertron1]

Apparently this was was because Staracream's spark went through a rift in time that sent him back to the same time period that the Maximals and Predacons happened to have traveled to. The main issue is that Starscream's last appearance in the G1 cartoon had Unicron restoring his body, then he was sent flying through space. So, either he died again sometime later or this occurred after he was killed in the movie but before he appeared as a ghost in the G1 cartoon.

nice!!! thank u :)

Yes and no, the Maximals and Predecons come from the future, as for Starscream... idk how he got sent back in time.

This Episode is ABSOLUTE GOLD!!!!!

[@johnoconnell5004]

This was my favorite episode of Beast Wars.

[@daliborjovanovic510]

3:00 Looks like Starscream and Blackarachnia were going to discuss their partnership in private if you catch my drift. While Starscream is in Waspinator's body. I can imagine their mental battle XD Waspinator: Uhhhh.....Wazzpinator doez not conzzent to having zzex with zzpider-bot! Wazzpinator not like girlzzz! Girlzz have cootiez! Starscream: Too bad, Bug Brain! I'm in charge and those skidplates are mine. I haven't fondeled a femme in centuries! Waspinator: Wazzpinator not want to! Thiz is rape!

[@Bat_fan-1]

I just noticed Starscream said Galvatron and it was there that Megatron (beast wars) discovered Megatron (G1) in perfect shape in the ark so in theory this could show this Starscream is from a parallel universe meaning G1 and Beast wars are two separate continuities (if anyone here thought beast wars was taking place during G1's event when they crashed into earth and stayed in stasis for millions of years)

[@ampedup8309]

Hey good improvement to waspanator

[@shadowspidey7327]

I love how we saw old G1 Transfomers Easter Eggs in Beast Wars really love how we got to see G1 Optimus and gave Maximal Optimus his new form with his spark. But Starscream says that he was protecting Galvatron yet Predacon Megatron get's his dragon form from G1 Megatron.

[@sophieprime4669]

Those aint easter eggs, they're full on callbacks.

[@aaronpeaty6619]

The part I always wondered through the whole season we had 2 deceptions starscream and ravage we never heard of any autobots being reprogrammed and rebuilt I think the only reason why ravage got brought into it because he did look like more of an animal then a jet or a truck etc I think the writers could have made it that maximal did detect the trans warp wave and brought in sludge or grimlock since they were dinosaurs imagine fans reaction seeing sludge in beastwars or even swoop they could have made one autobot make a cameo

[@amandag.6186]

Starscream just doesn't seem to quit does he? Even in death he still plots

[@Jaymonius]

Huh, I just noticed that Waspinator gets the Decepticon logo on his head during his possession as opposed to the usual Predicon logo. Neat. xD

[@girlgarde]

Starscream never came back, not even in Beast Machines, I wonder why? Not that I'm complaining mind you, he was a slimy worm.

[@kylestubbs8867]

Megatron’s main goal in “Beast Machines” was to control _everything,_ right down to the wills of his more durable enemies. Any traitorous effort on Starscream’s part would’ve stuck out like a sore thumb.

[@girlgarde]

@@kylestubbs8867 If Starscream had turned up and ruined Megatron's plans, I'd thank Starscream and give him a medal.

0:18 What did he say?

[@kunlesanders]

Blackarachnia: (to Starscream) I scanned your file. You didn't get blasted to scrap metal by Unicron. You got blasted by Galvatron after you betrayed him. (Flashback of Transformers G1: The Movie, Megatron as Galvatron) Starscream: Who disrupts my coronation? Galvatron: Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy. Starscream: Megatron? Is that you? Galvatron: Here's a hint! (transform into a gun, kills Starscream due to his betrayal, and destroy his crown) Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes? Rumble: What did he say his name was? Galvatron: Galvatron! All Decepticons: (cheering) Long live Galvatron!

[@vaultdwellercarmelojohnson8488]

This Had A Terminator Reference

[@tehshingen]

The studio currently known as Mainframe Entertainment sure liked putting terminator references into their shows indeed. In Reboot, when one of the main villains was incapacitated by a viral bug, he had the whole “red dots in eyes fading” thing the Terminator had at the end of the first movie when it was defeated.
