id be keen to know...i only recently found out that the giberish i thought was symbols was maximal text...im quite good with predacon...there is one episode..before the storm i think where the predacon text re ratrap says piss off or something equally funny....Tazahawk wrote:Has anyone here taken the time to actually find out what the Maximal and Predacon texts say? So far i have gone through the entitre 3 seasons of BW and have unlocked just about everything that's in Maximal text, i say just about because some parts were simply unreadable. And now i have just started doing the Predacons text. Anybody interested in what the maximals text says. It isn't always what you think it would say.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Glyph wrote:There are fonts for the Maximal and Predacon scripts used on the show, but they're both a bit hit-and-miss for accuracy (probably done from blurry VHS episodes?). The Maximal one in particular can be used to help translate stuff from the show - I find the Pred one very hard to reconcile with what's on the screen. One of my long-term gonna-get-around-to-it-someday projects is to remake the fonts to be fully screen-accurate.
It's quite cool to find the Easter eggs hidden in the text - some of my favourites are the big 'Suckers' in Pred text on the side of Ravage's Big Freakin' Missile from The Agenda, the Ark having a 'Nuke' weapon option and a 'John loves Heather' tag on its tac screen, and Cheetor's 'Restricted' sign on his bedroom wall (it basically said 'cheetahs only' - a great little nod to his teenager-style immaturity).
Here's a couple of images from the show, with the text transcribed:

Aren't they trilingual?Pyrostrata wrote:babylon queen wrote:Is Dinobot bilingual since he would have to know both languages?
I think they are all bilingual...One has to be able to interpret the text of one's enemies..Just a personal theory

They speak english, Maximalese and Predaconish.

multi-lingual..of course! I totally forgot about earth's languages, which I am sure they can speak em all (or a close proximity thereof)....Predaconish? That sounds funny!

I managed to run a copy of the Maximal language off the site. I started watching Beast Wars, not thinking much of it...and was watching the last third of "Double Dinobot" (Youtube..put there by TheUltimateOne81...Part 3/3 at 4:57/7:08) and there was a Maximal scan done on the Dinobot clone by Sentinal. The Maximal script popped up and I got the crazy notion to attempt translation...and MAN! Was I shocked at what came of it! The screen, printed BACKWARDS in Maximal, was the phrase "Hey Ian Go Eff (explitive actually used) Yourself"....I fell out the frikkin chair!
And yes, I have 2 days off and I plan to use them as insanely as possible!
