Beast Machines: Difference between revisions

Line 77:

* [[Hate Plague]]: The Maximals have some trouble with a mutation of the original.

* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: Optimus slides further and further into fanaticism as the first season draws to a close. {{spoiler|And then subverts it awesomely.}}

* [[How Do I Shot Web]]: The initial four Maximals in the sequel series had significant difficulty adapting to being biomechanical, particularly Rattrap who doesn't figure out how to transform until episode six.

* [[Idiot Ball]]: For a pair of brilliant generals, Obsidian and Strika have a hard time figuring out that {{spoiler|standing on an anti-gravity platform}} is bad for your immediate health. Sucks to be them.

{{quote| '''Jetstorm''': ''All I need's a spider, and I've got the whole set. [[Pokémon (Franchise)|Gotta catch 'em all!]]''}}

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Ultimately subverted. Blackarachnia is the sole female character for the first season and half of the second, but is then joined by Botanica. Strika, a female Vehicon general appears an episode after Botanica makes her appearance.
