I will agree that that is a spectacular episode and in retrospect, could/should have made my list!Insurgent wrote:Megatron outmanouvering everyone and giving a delicious "Oh you Optmiuses do like to sacrifice yourselves."
Thanks! It was originally a top 5, but once I added a fifth honorable mention I thought it best to just extend the listZetatron wrote:Awesome list!! And Kudos, it's hard to narrow down a series like Beast Wars to the top ten, so many great episodes and moments.
I'm rather embarrassed to say, I've never heard of this episode! Can you link to me to some kind of source?Zetatron wrote:I also would have brought up Dark Glass as an Honorable Mention.
I hadn't noticed that myself but that's very astute. It really does break the flow.UltraPrimal wrote:As for Transmutate, I would argue that it's one of the worst episodes in the series. -snip- And this episode is after Code of Hero and before The Agenda, so it completely breaks the flow from episode to episode.
I agree with those, aside from Call of the Wild. Aside from why Dinobot is afflicted with that sleep glitch, I rather enjoyed it.UltraPrimal wrote:And if there is a Worst of Beast Wars list next week, Go with the Flow, Cutting Edge, Call of the Wild, and Dark Voyage should definitely be on there.

Dark Glass was an unproduced episode that revolved around Rattrap trying to stick a backup copy of Dinobot's mind into his Transmetal 2 clone. It's often touted as providing an explanation for Dinobot II betraying Megatron in the finale, but I don't that was really needed. Clone of Dinobot is disconnected from Rampage, starts to show the noble side of the original Dinobot. Check.shajaki wrote:I'm rather embarrassed to say, I've never heard of this episode!

Other Visits however, aren't my favorite. Certainly nothing wrong with these episodes, but there's enough knocks against it for me. Mainly, I don't care to much about Tigatron and Airazor. I really feel like they were made into second rate characters by them spending so much time off screen. Seriously, in "Coming of the Fuzors", where the hell were they? Would the Maximals even had needed a magically appearing TM Optimus to save them if those two had been there? Maybe I just didn't feel those two were important because they were never there when it really counted.
And the Vok themselves were great in concept. It's just a shame that the series was cut short and we didn't get to explore them as much as they were intended to be.
This is true.Insurgent wrote:Fair enough. To me, Tigatron and Airazor being away for extended periods tied into their characters nicely.
To me, it was strategically unsound. Search for stasis pods in the immediate area, sure. But don't go on a lovers retreat right after the you lose your leader and the game has completely changed. They shoulda stayed close and within radio contact range at least.Insurgent wrote:To be honest, the only time they weren't there when it counted was Coming of the Fuzors, and that was because they left at the start of the episode to see what damage the Planetbuster had done and to try to find more stasis pods, since they had all just come crashing down.

In all honesty, I wouldn't have been bothered if "Code of Hero" had been listed as #2 instead as #1, but in which case the #1 episode would have had to have some darn good justification for its trumping "Code of Hero" (and said justification could not be rooted in any kind of G1 fanservice).shajaki wrote:Considering my love for Dinobot, there's no way Code wouldn't be my number one.

After the Vok were fully revealed in the Tigerhawk episode I was just like "huh... alright". They had quite a central role in Seasons 1 & 2, but aside from creating Tigerhawk and sort of killing Tarantulas they ultimately had no presence in the entire last season.william-james88 wrote:Also, I hate the VOK. Always hated them as a kid and I still hate them now. They were made ultra mysterous with no payoff.
That's a matter of opinion. I didn't even think of "Transmutate" until you mentioned it. It means nothing to me. The list, I more or less agree, even though I don't remember the episodes above #5. I would put "Code of Hero" at #3, "Nemesis" at #2 and "The Agenda" at #1, as I feel they were the most important episodes to the story as a whole, in that order. Also, I have to give a special shout-out to "Chain of Command" for 2 reasons: it was the 1st time Rhinox got to step up and be a leader, and of course, when he wielded the dual Gatling guns and annihilated Waspinator. Probably my favorite scene in season 1, if not the entire series. Also, I don't remember the title, but the episode where Rhinox and Primal are blind and have to make their way back to the Axalon was pretty cool as well. "The Low Road" I think it was called.Sabrblade wrote:I'm surprised to see "Transmutate" excluded from this list since that episode was almost as deep and meaningful as "Code of Hero" was.
