Line 1:

Line 6:
Notice how in ''Beast Machines'', Thrust (who has Waspinator's spark) reluctant to hurt Blackarachnia, and even saves her life a few times. As he regains his memory, he becomes more willing to help her, and there's a definite romantic undertone to his flashbacks. Hence, he had a thing for the sexy spider.
* Maybe subverted, since Waspy's memories and personality were deleted, along those of [[Knight in Shining Armor|Silverbolt]] and [[Genius Bruiser|Rhinox]].
* Though in fact, Blackarachnia had many crushes with many Maximals and Predacons in both [[
** For the record: Tarantulas, Quickstrike, Cheetor, Waspy...
** Crush? Flirt and manipulate with her feminine wiles and whatnot, but crush? She was obviously manipulating the Preds, and as for Cheetor, whatever ''he'' may have thought, she didn't even really lead him on. She was just the only female available at the time.
Line 13:
== In Beast Machines, the virus did affect the Transmetals, just to a lesser extent ==
Resulting in their drastic personality shifts for the worse (removing Rattrap's heart of gold leaving just a coward, turning Optimus into a fanatic follower rather than a compassionate leader). Cheetor and Blackarachnia got the least affected, being Transmetal 2s, but Blackarachnia, being more emotionally vulnerable, showed more change, while Cheetor, having no attachments for the virus to enhance into a critical weakness, managed to overcome it and become a badass, although the virus did wipe out what little innocence he had left.
** This works except for the fact that Cheetor had a ''very'' strong emotional bond to Primal in [[
*** Which also works in this theory - as noted elsewhere on the wiki, Cheetor seemed to have lost that bond entirely, acting almost Starscream-like. Easily explainable as feeling betrayed by his father figure due to the fanaticism and lack of support, and then the virus making it go overboard from a feeling of emotional betrayal into outright resentment and desire to replace.
* What about Nightscream?
Line 25:
== The Story would have gone completely differently had Dinobot II gone with the others back to Cybertron. ==
This Dinobot, being a transmetal would survive the virus with the others, and been reformatted. He would also be able to transform more easily than the others due to his expertise and slightly more spritual nature. He would have been able to use his tactical skills to improve their chances of victory against the Vehicons and stop having to hide in the catacombs all the time. He would also [[What the Hell, Hero?|call out]] Optimus on his rather aloof behavior, and convince [[My Country, Right or Wrong|Obsidian and Strika]] to assist them against Megatron. Finally, he would prevent Rattraps Wangst due to their ahem, [[Ho Yay|special relationship]]. In short, Dinobot would have made a good [[Team Dad]] to prevent all the others' [[Character Derailment]].
* He would have ''taken over'' the Maximals when Optimous went fanatical, called out '''everyone''' for completely forgetting about the Predacons, and use the immortal nature of Rampage's half-spark inside him to survive a suicidal attack on Megatron, ending the series in half the time with '''Dinobot''' in control of Cybertron.
** Truly an awesome way to end the series.
** The key phrase there is "ending the series in half the time". [[Executive Meddling|Hasbro would probably took that down]], given the [[Merchandise
*** Rampage's half-spark was the only spark in Dinobot's body. If it had shut down, Dinobot would have died.
*** Wasn't it implied that when Rampage died, the original Dinobot's spark took over? Among other things, if he had half of Rampage's spark at the time, then dying from such minor trauma is more than faintly ridiculous.
== Rhinox didn't side with the Maximals because he hated his old beast mode. ==
Of the original four maximals, Rhinox was the only one that never got a transmetal upgrade. When shielding from energon radiation was no longer necessary thanks to the Vok, Rhinox's beast mode became useless while the transmetal maximals could fly/drive in their beast mode. Rhinox only used his beast mode ''twice'' in season two and '''never''' used it at all during season 3, which shows that even in [[
== Everyone on Cybertron dies within a month after the end of the series. ==
