Theft of the Golden Disk - Part 2

[@JJGoldFalconTHELEGENDOFGOLD]

I love how when megatron enters the vault the animation get's smoother for that scene.

[@flyinglizard007]

Beast wars really needs a prequel series. I can imagine a season of Rampage wrecking havoc on cybertron. Or watching Cryotek running a criminal enterprise and recruiting a group of thugs to steal the golden disc. Maybe throw some of the maximals in there somewhere. This needs to happen.

[@rhigganomie4978]

This would've been a great inclusion into the actual Beast Wars cartoon. It would lend tons of interesting backstory to the Maximals and Predacons, very similarly to what the G1 Transformers cartoon did for the Autobots and Decepticons.

[@WolfDOuka]

It had the old 3D animation feel to it which I liked. As crude as it may have been, it really got me thinking that it was a sorta pilot episode to the Beast Wars.

[@Horrormovie_NZ]

Very entertaining! A great piece that tells the first chapter in what is perhaps the best Transformers story of all time! I can't believe there are a few who have the balls to complain about the efforts of all involved- from what I can gather this was a straight labour of love, and it didn't cost any of us a cent to watch. I thought it was very good! Your hard work and talent is appreciated by all true TF fans, I'm sure :D

Except they still had their vehicle forms when they crashed on Earth. They simply re-scanned and used the CR chambers/CR tanks to reformat themselves. Protoforms are like children; they're the earliest stage of Cybertronian life, and usually don't have anything fully developed.
