C Phillips Mike Blanchard and Michael Wilson

Hello and welcome to the world's first ever Beast

Wars Beast Machines Review Podcast. This is the

Beast Unleashed Podcast brought to you by the

Yeetcast Radio Network. I am your host TFD1 Mike

and I am joined by Peek on Court Michael. Hello.

Hey, how's it going? It's going and snotty Steve

Megatron. Hello. Hello. It's almost like a garbage

pail kid. Today we'll be reviewing three more

episodes from Beast Wars Season 3. So how are

you, Michael? I'm good. Yes. Not bad at all.

Don't ask him about his other thing. Is that

Dr. Girlfriend? We might have a boo cocking good

time. Don't use words that you don't know what

they mean. I seriously doubt that there will

ever be an episode of this podcast that we don't

drag it down some sort of hole. down a hole already.

There'll be a couple in this episode. I hope

not. Come on, man, we've got to band together

to, uh, uh, I don't know. Never mind. It's never

gonna happen. It's like, yeah, dragging us out

of the hole is about as likely to happen as Mike

editing a typo or something, you know? Editing

a typo? Editing out of this keyboard punching.

Exactly. There's one per episode. Sound typo.

Moral typos, if you will. Is that where he tongues

the keyboard to make it himself? A -U -R -A -L,

not O -R -A -L. Kinda gross. Alrighty then. So

Steve, what are you up to? Well, besides editing

shows, getting them all... Pre put into the site

so that all I have to do is hit publish publish

publish And then I got Under the red hood earlier.

I just have to yet watch it. I rented it so I

Already rented it. I already saw it. It was pretty

good actually I'm actually looking forward to

it despite the fact that it does not have these

standard voice actors But the animation looks

pretty well too from what I've seen but honestly

they um... i think i've heard they pull it off

pretty well though oh they pull it off extremely

well and you know the whole point of the dc and

this has nothing to do with transformers but

the whole point of the dc universe original animated

films is so they can bring in other actors to

voice these iconic characters and honestly out

of all the ones they've done so far with voicing

batman other than kevin conroy bruce greenwood

is the best one out of all of them and i heard

something about that they're thinking about making

him the new Batman of the 2000s or 2010s Yeah,

it could be um Because they're going to be launching

a new show. Yeah this year. Yeah What's his face?

Off Drew Carey's show gets to quit. Oh, yeah

Oswald on Batman at Raven and Bold. Yeah, um

The there was a panel Kevin Conroy panel at C2E2

in Chicago This year where he basically said

that they've told him you are the classic Batman

voice and whenever we want that voice We'll give

you a call, but we want to go other directions

for other series to have someone else voice Batman,

you know Yeah, something like that What else

was I gonna say this will actually be the last

episode that will be weekly We're on the last

week of July, so the Beast When Leash podcast

weekly episodes will be ending when we'll be

going back to the bi -weekly format of every

other Monday, so we're actually caught up. No

thanks to VodCon. If you haven't, listen to M

-Wire. Yes, we are currently in Police Academy

Week. We are recording and releasing an episode

of M -Wire every day this week. It's quick fun.

What? It's fun, man. Police Academy 3, that record

was awesome. That movie is a lot funnier than

I remember. I can't wait until Police Academy

4 record. Yeah, that's later. Tomorrow morning,

or hell, it might even be later tonight. It just

depends on when we get done with this record.

uh... in the morning yeah something like that

do we have anything else uh... we want to mention

before we get into the episodes no we might want

to mention our uk affiliate blogamatic three

thousand yes i i'm still waiting on a response

from phil about i asked him i said this before

i've asked him to record a little mp3 30 40 second

long mp3 that we actually can insert into the

episode so it's him actually talking about his

own website so or he could send us a text clip

that I could read or you could read or whatnot

yeah I would actually dig having him record something

because you know again yeah yeah well I asked

him he said he would do it when he when he could

get around to it so apparently he's very busy

at this point in time well he posts like a madman

so oh yeah but he has really good information

yeah i actually like going there before any of

the other movie sites now just because a lot

of his stuff is well thought out yes well where

does he get all this stuff is there just better

stuff in the uk or how does that well they are

five hours ahead well actually six hours ahead

if you count The one host that lives in central

time, but no here in the eastern time zone. They

are five hours ahead of us All I know is when

I flew there. It was six hour difference Well,

that's because you live in central and you're

an hour behind the eastern time zone, which all

time should be eastern It just makes it easier

I think all time should be central no I think

all time should be at a standstill. There's no

time like now. There's no time like the present.

I like presents. I want lots of them. Speaking

of presents, this is kind of on topic of Transformers,

not really Beast Wars, but... Shut up. We all

know that San Diego Comic Con Hasbro has their

exclusives for that convention and they usually

put the extras on Hasbro toy shop the Monday

afterwards of the convention and The Mighty Mug

Prowl went on there for $15 .99. However, when

I looked at it the first time it was out of stock

I looked at it again Monday night. It was in

stock. I said okay well hopefully they won't

screw me over on this order like they did with

the war for cybertron toys and i went ahead and

ordered him seeing as how he was in stock and

he wasn't uh i'm pretty sure once once he goes

out of stock again they're gonna send him off

to be afa graded and he'll be like a hundred

and friggin something dollars like the iron man

2008 money mug is but um anyways yeah so i've

hopefully got that coming Yes, one of our fans

of this show Godspeed Scent is apparently gonna

send me a war for Cybertron Optimus, so that's

pretty awesome of him Why are they only since

the one I mean, I know you know target of course,

you know Michael always says oh my target restocked

I go to my target There's nothing but fucking

tuner mudflaps, goddamn fucking thing. But why

are they only showing up at Toys R Us? They're

not Toys R Us exclusives as far as I know. I

don't know, they had all the new ones there today.

That sucks. They even had the scout class and

I was tempted to pick them up again and I said,

I'm gonna wait. Yeah. We had the boys there and

I'm not a big fan of picking up toys at Toys

R Us while I have my boys with me. Cause then

they're gonna want toys too. It's like, I'm not

buying toys for everybody. Just me. I feel a

little greediness coming up. Nah, nah, nah. Well,

you know, we get toys for - the boys have way

more toys than they need. Oh, I know. Kids always

do. Oh, it's ridiculous. They have - a lot of

toys put it that way. It's a good thing Chrissy

doesn't limit them to one collection. Otherwise

it might get a little bit excessive. We don't

want them being obsessive compulsive at the age

of two and four. Let them save that to where

they make their own money to pay for it. Exactly.

Yeah it was like for Michael's birthday it was

about a month and a half. Almost two months ago

now. I had to literally almost beg his wife to

get him the Phineas and Ferb Perry the Platypus

and Dr. Doofenshmirtz toys. She says, you are

not starting that shit. I was like, no, look,

just the one. Yeah, it's just one. It's not like

you're going to catch them all. Oh, it's funny

too, because my whole office is like a sea of

Transformers stuff, and I have Doofenshmirtz

and Agent P sitting on my desk, and they're so

out of place. It's uh, but nah, I dig them. Yeah,

yeah. Um, what else is going on? I'm trying to

think. Flash taters. Oh boy. Okay, well we're

gonna get into some episode before Steve starts

going into all the stupid narwhalian crap. Punch

her, punch her, punch her. Shut up. On that note,

we're gonna talk about some episodes. Cyber controls!

That's where they're vulnerable! Megatron, what

is the nature report? Failure. Worthless bug!

to take hostages. The Ark is ours! First up today

is The Cutting Edge. The original air date was

November 15th, 1998 and it was written by Ian

Weir. A silent metal dinosaur hunter stalks the

proto -humans. Rhinox surmises it is Megatron's

handiwork and the task of leading two proto -human

children back to their tribe falls to Cheetor

and Black Arachnia. Silverbolt has developed

a crush on the Predacon spider, and is none too

subtle about it. When Tarantulas arrives, leading

a pack of cyberraptors, will the two Maximals

be enough to protect the innocent tribe? None

too subtle. Who knows? Yeah, um... Let's see,

where do I want to start? It's become very known

to me that everything in this cartoon series...

at least the Beast Wars part of it, goes splat

with a rock very well. They do that a lot. It

is a pretty common theme in the show. I think

that's easier to animate. Yeah, I can't even

count how many times. Tarantulas. has been splattered

with a rock or rampage or inferno or quick strike

or You know, I just can't even count it how many

times Quite honestly, I think that they may have

just for the hell of it since they first started

squishing tarantulas with rocks decided to create

random Character models with boulders smushing

them. Yeah for fun and then somehow it got worked

into the show and let's be honest the cyber raptors

are pretty much you know throwaway characters

so well they are and at the same time i think

that the the guys that did the show i think that

personally i think they had an obsession with

dino bot yeah because i mean if you look at it

dino bot clone dino bot dead dino bot and Of

course, cyber raptors with laser eyes. Laser

eyes. Yeah, I like that though. They still haven't

figured out the transformability, although these

are not as superior as the Dinobot clone, other

than they can shoot laser eyes, because they

have the big canister on their back that can

be smushed and it causes them to self -destruct.

Yeah, I haven't known about that here in a little

bit. Yeah. with the scene where they jump on

the bus. Don't steal my thunder on that, because

that's a note for later. Jump, jump, smoosh,

smoosh. You don't want to mess up his bullet

point. Shut up, Michael. Yes, it might throw

him off. You might lose a bullet point. I know

Cheetor is starting puberty, but crushing on

Blackarachnia? Uh, no. That's a bad... Well,

isn't it obvious? Oh, it... He wants to put his

six flags over her Cybertron. And Doggiebot is

not amused. Yeah, that was my other note. Dog

vs. Cat for Blackarachnia, that's not... And

FriskySpider wants... No, FriskyKitty wants to

play with CurvySpider. That's basically what

we're looking at here. Yes, and it doesn't seem

to slow down any time soon. It only gets better

Or worse depending on how you look at it Yeah,

at first she's like, oh hey back off because

my man's over here and he's not liking the way

you're looking at me so And he didn't Growling

at him like I hate you. Yeah, I know back off

You guys, the scene where Cheetor and Blackarachnia

have to protect the two children, when Cheetor

makes them move off the tree, that was a nice

move, but just a horrible dismount, because he

gets blasted all to hell. Well, my question is,

why would he put the kids in a tree? That just

made no sense. I mean, even if he didn't get

shot on the way down, they're stuck in a tree.

I mean, if the whole point was to get Blackarachni

to rescue them, well, mission accomplished, but

otherwise, that was just a dumb move. Yeah. You

could have just ran over and knocked the tree

down. Yeah, that's true. Just saying, it didn't

make sense to me. Yeah. Poor Quickstrike, as

much as I really don't care for him. the uh you

know how was it uh inferno yeah yeah inferno

why did you not choose me to go in first royalty

because when expecting booby traps you often

send in the boobs because inferno when expecting

booby traps always send the boob in first yes

and then after that happens When the booby trap

is sprung and you see the damage model on Quickstrike

and you see nothing but stars around his head,

there's a Roger Rabbit reference in Beast Wars.

Look Raul, stars! Did he say that? No, I just

made the reference. Because that would have been

the reference, but it was literally like a giant

fist that just smashes him. That was one of those

odd moments of where the hell did this big hand

come from? It's like they made a glove around

optimal spare hands and then said, punch him.

I thought that this particular splat had Waspinator

written all over it. No, no, no. The next one

has Waspinator written all over it. Oh no! Downraptor!

Badraptor! And that was after they figured out

the controls on the back make him go screwy.

He jumps on his head? Yeah. Poor Waspinator.

Well, not only did he get jumped on, but then

he got a Team Rocket moment. Yeah, he did. Yeah,

as long as you don't make that other reference

at this point in time I for the rest of this

podcast I really don't care if you make team

rocket references anymore because anything is

better than that other reference you tried to

make last week I believe it had something to

do with spongebob, but I don't want to go there

I don't know No Listen listen back to TBU 16.

There's something in there. There's something

where I just outright stop you I Forget what

that is. Well, we'll go back and listen to the

last week's episode then I don't remember either.

It's something if I have to go back and listen

for it I'm so bringing it up next time. Well,

that's fine Well because it's one of those things

where after you said After after I basically

said no no no no no just don't eat don't even

do that you said ooh I think I touched a knife

So it's it's in TBU 16 You tried to reference

though, but I just would not let you do it Yay,

Death Trudge. You actually did something for

the team. Yes, he actually thrashed Megatron's

group. He gave them some cyber pizzas. The power

pizza. That was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

reference. Yes, it was. Yes, it was. And it was

an epic one. Yes, I remember the pizza thrower.

Yeah, yeah, you know the one I remember would

look like a big tank and I had like a disc thrower

Yeah, there was a separate toy for the pizza

thrower horrible stickers Yeah, but it was nice

a death charge. You know took a minute away from

hunting rampage One thing I noticed and I didn't

notice it before this episode when Rhinox and

radtrap are battling Megatron's team there or

Megatron's group or whatever Rat traps gun matches

his paint scheme. It's blue Didn't notice I Didn't

notice that either Yeah, it is so I thought that

the Rhinox was a little braver than he should

have been You know, I mean he's got his two guns

and he's you know making the diving motion against

firing but You know the last time Rhinox got

up that close to Megatron. He tore his arm off

So, you know, he's not looking forward to having

him back on the base. Yeah, at least not without

Big Preds are my specialty. Depth Charge coming

back. I wouldn't want my arm torn off, but that's

just me. And I like how at the end of the episode

where Megatron's learning that the Transmetal

2 Dino Raptors or Cyber Raptors aren't gonna

cut it and he's got half a spark to spare. I'm

surprised that Megatron doesn't, you know, do

the same surgery on Waspinator's spark to make

more Dinobots. Because, you know, Waspinator's

not publicly, you know, immortal like Rampage,

but he's fairly immortal. He takes a beating

every episode. Let's see, he's the one that has

lasted pretty much as long as Megatron and some

of the beasts from the Maximals. Yeah. All the

way through the entire Beast Saga. And beyond.

Well, I think if Megatron thought for an instant

that he could chop Waspinator's spark in half

and he would survive. Oh, he'd have four in him.

Oh, yeah. Exactly. I think I've said this before,

but Waspinator is comedy relief. You can't kill

the comedy relief. Yeah, well Rampage had his

spark cut in half, and he's still alive. He's

not dead. But he's like Hannibal Lecter. I'll

eat his living spark with a nice Chianti and

fava beans. What do you got for this one Steve?

Well Megatron quotes Shakespeare in this one.

Often. Yes, well, he does so more so with one

phrase of, cry havoc and let slip the dogs of

war. But yes, other than that, did you find it

odd that Transmetal Torrentialist actually uses

his leg guns? And this is the only time that

you ever see them? I think that's one of those

blink and you'll miss it type things cuz I read

that in the wiki and I didn't see it in the I

saw it it was it was one of those real quick

like not even two -second scenes and then it

was like new scene like like they were throwing

in something like so you could uh You know have

something to I noticed that you know, yeah Like

you're acne I did it a bunch of times but well,

she always does it That's like her main weapon

because most of times she doesn't carry that

big honking gun Yeah, she just carries it out

of somewhere like she pulls weapons out of her

ass. Sometimes literally that's where they're

hidden. Yeah. Yes Yeah, and as for don't laugh

at me fool The proto human is seen again the

same one who picked up Dinobots club. Yep. Yeah,

you still got the club is beat stick He's going

clubbing. He's like, I'm going to hammer. Hammer

time. Hammer time. Da da da da. We all got to

get our parachute pants on for this one. He needs

the sunglasses, though, that Primal used in Possession.

Hasta la vista. Yes. Um. Yes, um. Don't like

this forehead slopes Don't bug me kid your forehead

slopes Anybody notice that tarantulas for some

reason wants to be under Megatron's command and

Explains nothing of how he decided to reach this

resolution It just seems strange that that Megatron

is suddenly ordering him around It's strange

that all of a sudden it's like, oh everything

is good now Well, it makes me wonder if Ian Weir

had seen the last few episodes because it's like,

you know, he kind of betrayed the hell out of

Megatron and He probably doesn't want him around

anymore, but here he is and he's more than happy

to do his bidding It's also funny though that

Ian Weir wrote this basically setting up for

the return of Dinobot Well, yeah, yeah, it's

in a roundabout way like they it's hilarious

He's the one that kills them off and he's the

one that returns them slowly like in a roundabout

way he's not the actual writer of the return

but It's just strange He probably you know got

the mandate hey we need more Dinobot make it

happen I'm looking at the page for this the wiki

page the TF wiki page for this episode and you

guys see the quote under cybervenom optimal optimus

Yes, those robot heroes are adorable I love where

he gets hit with that transmetal cybervenom.

Oh man, which is mind you never seen again But

it it's it's like a drunken optimus primal when

it gets done He, like, infects really big and

then he's like, well, I'm not going at stasis

lock, but my little guy. Isn't he cute? He ends

up with this giant head. Yeah, which I thought

was hilarious. My disproportional head is not

able to transform. I'm sorry. I think if I got

shot in the ass, my head would explode too. That's

got it all through. One of them ends. Well, he

just kind of turns around he's like I got I got

something in my ass Because you made me look

and see what that is and tarantulas buttplugged

him Why why am I flashing to caddyshack2 and

Dan Ackroyd asking Chevy Chase if he'll Pull

the arrow out and suck out the poison out of

his butt Yeah, the whole optimal optimist being

drunk and singing thing, that whole scene is

probably going to be a quote for this episode.

That was quite strange. Rattrap's like, that's

not what I wanted to hear. What about you, Michael?

Or do you have other stuff, Steve? I have one

more, and it's based on one of the pictures from

the wiki. That the little girl una who's hanging

on primal's finger like it's a magical pull my

finger or it could be monkey bars Yeah, you know

I'm on words monkey bars. She looks like a monkey

He's the monkey's uncle Be a monkey's uncle there

I'm done Okay, then My turn. Yes. I'll go. DinoBot.

The return of DinoBot. Or it's a clone of the

return of DinoBot. I was reminded of Sam Kinnison.

Sam Kinnison's like, hey, didn't that guy die?

Yeah, but he's real stubborn, so we would admit

it. Oh, come on. You guys worship at the altar

of Kinnison, don't you? Or is that too early

for you? I know I've heard of him. I don't Hey,

at least I've heard of him I'll be sending you

some Sam Kenison links. I actually saw him before

he died so It was it was a good show It's a optimus

primal gives Black Arachnia her orders, and she's

got this exasperated head shaking. She just puts

her head back and she's like, ah, fuck me. That

was hilarious. It's just the way they animated

it. I mean, not that they weren't doing a really

good job of body language already, but it really

came out in this episode, especially with the

proto -humans. because you know their facial

expressions are kind of crappy they they they

can open their mouth and close their mouth and

move their big buggy eyes around but you know

you can't really see any emotion or expression

there at all uh they're very limited as to what

you can do apparently with primal primates faces

yeah but uh you know they They did a real good

job with just the body language and the and the

the sounds that they made So kudos to those animators

kudos kudos It's like it's like a Klingon word

cool toss. Yeah, I Think it means like Twinkie

or something. It's actually there used to be

Serial bars or kudos like granola bars or something.

Oh, those were good. Yes This is good almost

all the time, I think. It's been a while since

I've had one. There was a scene where Tarantulas

was speeding between the Dinobot clones, which

I thought was awesome. It reminded me of Jurassic

Park 2, when they were herding the dinos on motorcycles.

There was one scene, I think, the guy on the

motorcycle went in between the legs of a brontosaur

or something. I vaguely remember, but I thought

it was terribly cool. I was trying to find a

clip of that online so I could attach it, because

I'm like, that so reminds me of the motorcycle

driving between the dinos. But I couldn't find

one. So I don't have any context to go along

with this. But if you see in Jurassic Park, you

know what I'm talking about. Yes. Megatron says,

I'm talking in bullet points. Stop it, Mike.

There was a quote where he says, uh, uh, you

know, the base is there for the asking and the

quick strikes like, I don't want to ask. I want

to go in there and kick some keister. And then

my good trot says, okay. Yeah. That'll be another

quote of the episode for this one. I so laughed

so hard at that. I thought that was hilarious.

He's like, uh, yeah, sure. Why not? Yes, just

before the boob comment. Right before the...

You go right on ahead. Here you go, have fun.

And eventually Blackarachnia sacrifices herself

for the kids that she hates. She says, I slipped.

She slipped. You know, she just slipped and dove

in the line of fire. in front of the uh the primate

children yeah she only slipped sideways to jump

in front of the kids i purposely didn't slide

on purpose i mean it yeah it was a banana peel

it wasn't my fault optimus was eating i'm sorry

he's a messy eater he just puts shit all over

the floor he's a messy monkey He transformed

to beast mode and started flinging poo and smacking

his chest. There will be no flinging poo on this

episode. It's primal time. It's primal time.

Have some poo. That's for you. Yeah, exactly.

Poo for you. But Waspinator gets his pretty nicely.

With the dino stomp. That was definitely a different

approach to a Waspinator. Splat attack it was

something new that we haven't seen They are pretty

good about breaking out the the imaginative waspinator

splat alerts for the next couple episodes at

least They felt bad because he spent that that

last episode Not getting hurt at all, so they're

like man. What can we do to this guy? How can

we just punish him? Yeah, so badass caveman Captain

Caveman jumps up on the Dinobot clone and beats

the shit out of him with his club. He's like,

something I learned from my friend Dinobot. He's

like, just because you guys don't know what to

do, I think I'll hit that thing that's blinking.

That's right. Hit it in the head. That tends

to work, too. Well, let's see, I didn't get that,

because he jumped on its back. And he's literally

sitting on the box that controls the, you know,

the DinoBot clone. So if you were to disable

it with a hammer, you'd have to hit yourself

in the crotch with a hammer. Well, you gotta

figure back then they didn't have them that big.

But inexplicably they start wearing skirts in

this one. So obviously they've got something

there that they don't want to hit with a hammer.

And he did the Chewbacca call when he got on

top of it. He went, ooh la la la la la, boom.

Oh my god. I can't do Chewbacca, so, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. What was that? Arnold Schwarzenegger says,

uh, I came in to see George Lucas and he told

me don't do the animal sound. I can't do George

Lucas either, or. Yeah, I can't do George Lucas,

I can't do Chewbacca, and I can't do Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I'm not even gonna try. I kill you. I fucking

kill you. So, back onto the topic at hand of

cutting edge here. Who are you? Oh, yeah, sorry,

I was getting way off topic again. Yeah, the

last thing I had was toward the end of the episode

where... Blackarachnia is basically grinding

Cheetor's manhood into the dirt. And then she

walks off with Silverbolt. And Silverbolt turns

around and says, hands off my hooch, kiddo. He

didn't actually say that, ladies and gentlemen.

Michael Wilson is just embellishing the scene.

No, you can tell that's what he said. Hands off

my hooch. But that's just pushing Cheetor towards

the dark side. He's not a nice cat he's not a

kid anymore and he's not so nice either Yeah,

but yeah, so in the next episode, which I guess

we'll get to momentarily He becomes not so nice.

Yeah, we're gonna get to that in a minute. Do

we have anything else about the cutting edge?

Aside from waspinator taking off again But you

took the alien transmittal unit. Where is it

gone? Ain't that a kick in the lug nuts? It's

not a little flounder any Let me get him for

you boss. No. He's mine. I shall feast upon his

stool pulsating spark What is that thing you

know boss some kind of ghost maybe or it will

be when I'm done with it And finally up today

is the Feral Scream two -parter in part one,

which was the original air date of February 1st,

February 7th, 1999, written by Jules Dennis.

That's a seven. Cheetor, what? That's a seven.

I don't know, whatever. Uh, Cheetor is plagued

by nightmares, but will neither... Stop interrupting

me, god damn it! The hell is wrong with you?

Feel free to start over. Okay retake number three.

I'm a hammer Cheetor is plagued by nightmares

but will neither enter the CR chamber for the

repair nor submit to a medical exam. Optimus

Primal and Rhinox are puzzled by a strange beast

that emerges from Cheetor's quarters. At Predacon

HQ, Megatron has run into this mutated beast

as well and dispatches Waspinator and the clone

Dinobot to hunt it down. What is the mystery

of the Transmetal 2 creature? Well, this is easily

my favorite episode. out of season three this

two -parter outside of optimal situation this

is easily my favorite so far i would say and

i'm kind of getting into a season three recap

here but i would say my my three favorites are

optimal situation this two -parter and the nemesis

two -parter Hey, wait, I thought all the stasis

pods were destroyed in season one finale when

the planet buster blowed up real good There were

still ones on the planet because there were the

held of the fusors and primal and rampage and

transmutate come from Okay, yes Yes, there's

ones that are unknown No, well, it must be, because

where the hell are they getting them? The Axlon's

gone. Unless they're just finding ones that are

just... That landed, because they launched all

of them, whether people were in them or not.

Right. Yeah. If my Gratnia lost one in Agenda,

so... Who knows? Yeah. That's true. Uh, damn,

this is the first episode in a long time where

Cheetor screws up in the beginning of the episode.

He seems to screw up in every episode. No, the

last episode he had his ass completely handed

to him and even the waspinator landed a hit on

him So I mean that You know, I'm not surprised

that he keeps screwing up More mad scientist

Megatron with a bonus with a bonus with waspinator

being Igor Igor, whatever, but he didn't have

a hunchback You know what's funny? I used that

scene from this episode for my resurrection earlier

in the Beast Unleashed podcast. It sounded very

familiar. Yes, you're going to have to resurrect

yourself again for ATTF episode 50 because we

killed you in the War for Cybertron episode.

You spent a lot of time in the backyard. I was

traveling with Megatron off -world. gaining money

is that what you call it now yes he assassinated

people in their ass Oh, fuck yourself. Okay,

so getting back to this here. Cheetor, no! And

that was when he got blown into the Transmetal

2 thing. Skipping ahead a little bit to when

Depth Charge has the driver. And he's like, I

think he's like right next to the Ark. And he

puts it on this little computer thing. Oh my

god, hey, it's Sentinel! Whaaat? I thought maybe

that was like his secret lair or something. No,

that was right next to the Ark. Yeah, but I mean,

aside from wherever the bridge is, he just kind

of jumped down into it. It did look like the

Ark was nearby, but I mean the bridge is sitting

right next to the Ark too, so that's not completely

out of the question. But the point of my note

is, hey, it's Sentinel. The computer voice is

Sentinel's voice. I don't think it was. I think

I've heard Ian do the voice enough times in the

intros to these episodes of this podcast. That

computer voice was the Sentinel voice. Blatant

lack of continuity Okay, that's it we're putting

in this clip so Michael can actually hear it

for this part of the episode cuz yeah Steve you

better prove me right here cuz I know I'm right

that was Ian doing sentinel Okay moving on the

episode again moving on here Black Arachnia used

Schemer, because that was when Dep charged through

the Transmental 2 driver over into the volcano.

Oh, and she does the total ninja move and steals

the Transmental 2 driver? Yes. Speaking of ninjas,

Cheetor the Ninja Kitty. Oh, when he actually

becomes like the Shadow Panther? Yes, and while

the Ninja Kitty line goes into my next note...

spinning top Megatron cheater likes new cat toys

see I could totally do without the Tasmanian

Megatron oh that was that was awesome and what

makes it even better is is his look when he ends

up over the cliff oh yeah he was just missing

a sign that says whoops you know and he looks

down and goes oh well he wouldn't even go oh

he just holds the sign and goes When Michael

sent me optimal optimus Unfortunately, he left

him in the monkey mode and this is the first

episode that we even see Transmetal to monkey

optimal optimus and I hate that design, you know,

I find that shocking because to me the monkey

mode Is very reminiscent of his Transmetal one

mode. I mean he's got you know, the big it's

too big base and No See I never liked I didn't

like the Transmetal one one specifically because

you know the the the beast mode was that ape

face and the ape body and I just didn't dig it

whereas You know, with the Transmetal 2, or the

Optimal Optimus, same thing. He's got the big

ape face and big ape body, and maybe not so much

the entire body, but just the torso. Because

even in robot mode, he's still kind of built

like an ape. Well, yeah, I mean, his arms are

when he's in regular robot mode, but when he's

in monkey mode for the Optimal Optimus, I don't

like that design whatsoever. I don't even like

it on the toy. I just don't like it. And the

whole coolness part of Transmetal One Optimus

was the fact that it's a blue surfer ape. Yeah,

maybe that's why I don't like it, because it's

a blue surfer ape. Did they show the beast mode

in an optimal situation? No, they did not. They

didn't? This is the first time you see it. This

is the first time you see it. Nope. Nope. This

is the first time you see that. Interesting.

So going back to Sentinel, Steve, did you find

anything out? No, I'm still cycling through the

YouTube clips. Megatron is so useless. Anyways.

You're a useless fool. You'll be researched next

time. See, I don't have to do research because

I know. Because I know the voice of Sentinel

and that was the voice of Sentinel. End of story.

I think Steve should lie just to piss you off.

I would laugh. I can go. Yeah, go ahead. Sure,

I'll go. We're waiting for you to go now. I will

go when I'm good and ready. Don't go now, or

I will spot you. That was so an entry for Hightower

there. Never mind. You guys seem to love the

Police Academy movie so much, and Hightower did

not make an appearance. I'm very shocked. Hightower

didn't make an appearance in what? I'll go when

I'm good and ready, Hightower says. Oh, okay.

You'll go now, mister. Here's the scene. Steve

didn't catch that one. I'm really shocked. Alright.

Yeah, so everyone thinks that... Oh, you're gonna

play it? No? He's listening. That was the sentinel

voice. Told you. Alright, fine, alright. Go back

and watch that scene in this episode. I'm telling

you, it was sentinel, I know. Oh. Alright, well

anyway. Sorry, I had a guest host over here talking.

Yeah, so edit that out in post. Everybody take

a drink. Every time we say edit that out in post,

you have to take a drink. That's the new part

of the rule of the magic drinking game. Since

he doesn't say, I don't know anymore, we have

to make up... Fine, I'll get a drink of water.

Alright, moving right along. Cheetor's dead?

No. That was my bullet point. Yeah, but it's

still not a good day to be a cheetor. Captain's

tough. Went out fighting. He went out fighting.

That's what kills me though. He's like, yeah,

he's totally dead and then the next episode death

charge is like, okay fine. He's not dead It's

like hey, this is all sad Yeah, he's like oh

Cry me a river. Go cry emo bot When rampage meets

dino bot too, I was thinking, you know rampage

could totally take this guy even though he's

got full control over his spark crusher inside

of his chest. Yeah, there's no way in hell Rampage

would even come close to getting near Dinobot

TM2. You know, I don't think so. I think Rampage

could take him. I mean, if not just in sheer

size and just reach over and pound him, then,

you know, he could stand two miles away and nuke

him with his big damn gun. So yeah, Rampage could

totally take DinoBot. Rubber Duckie, however,

could not. What, couldn't kill him? No, he couldn't

kill DinoBot. If he ripped the spark out of his

chest, he could. If he could get close enough?

I think he could. I'm waiting for a scene where

DinoBot's sitting there like, I'm badass, and

I'm, you know, better than you, and blah, blah,

blah. And next thing you know, you see just a

big fist coming out of his chest, and he's got

his beating spark in his hand, and he's like,

how do you like them apples? Yeah, because that's

never gonna happen. Well, it's never gonna happen

for the simple fact of Megatron's explanation,

only he can achieve a... what did he say? The

technology to form a perfect union of the sparks.

I bet you that... I'd be willing to bet that

if rampage got a hold of that other piece of

the spark and as Unpalatable as it would be to

him. He could take that piece of Rhinox and Rhinox

would fix it He'd eat it with some fava beans

and a nice Chianti It'll become one with the

rampage Yeah, it goes into my tummy exactly but

now that dino bot 2 has a The other half of rampages

spark death charge is gonna be chasing him around

because every time his sensor You know it goes

off. He he thinks it's gonna be him even though

it's that crap wrong one Yeah, yeah, but yeah,

I thought that was interesting when he actually

started talking Because the clones couldn't talk

they were clones didn't have robot mode, but

they couldn't talk but I guess Scott McHill is

gonna do what one what clone? I didn't hear any

clothes talk the original clone not not the cyber

Raptors the the clone that Dinobot 8 could talk

oh that one yeah, yeah, no the cyber Raptors

were Yeah, oh, I see where yeah the cyber Raptors

were kind of brainless Yeah, just yeah, they

were just drone. No you would have thought Megatron

would have learned from using these drones of

trying to do the same thing in Beast Machines.

Not to get too much into that, but I mean, you

would have thought he would have learned a body

without a spark. Doesn't quite function that

well. I think he was going for quantity over

quality in Beast Machines. And the differences

between here and Beast Machines is that in Beast

Machines... He gave the control over to the three

generals. Yeah. Thrustinator, Jetstorm, and Tankox.

Yeah, Tankox, there you go. Doofensmurch's Thrustinator,

Inator. Reincor. Reincor. I heard McNeil doing

the voice for this woman, and it sounds like

he's doing Dinobot with a mouth full of marbles.

It still kind of sounds like Dinobot, but not

really. It's a more gritty, emotionless Dinobot.

It's a Christian Bale Dinobot. The whole scene

with Megatron and his energy koozie I mean before

when we see him in his you know in his bath basically

We would see you know close -ups of him like

sitting there and there was a rubber ducky floating

nearby, but this time They've got just full on

broad shots of him sitting in his energy jacuzzi

with his rubber ducky talking to other people

and everybody's in the same shot. Yup. And it's

like, man, you know, if I were to have literally

like a command bath, right, I wouldn't want it

to be on the ground. It's like, I don't think

I'd want the other bots watching me. Well, this

crotch was under water, you know. I feel naked

without my gun. Don't make me stand up. Push

my back. Scratch it. Would you like me to wash

your dick, you little shit? Boil my water. With

your laser eye. Stop! You're making me snort.

Alright. Rampage. Give it a whirlpool. Spin your

gun. Now, you Dinobot. Crush your spark. Good

rampage. Oh yes. What else you got, Michael?

I can't even think after that. I know. There

was a line where DeathChart says, ain't that

a kick in the lug nuts? Which I thought was funny.

Maybe that's where they got the name from. Lug

nut? That's right. Your left lug nut or your

right lug nut? Give me your lug nuts. That'll

be the next give me your face. And wholesome

entertainment for the whole family. Yeah, and

at the end, I just noticed that you've got Cheetor

kind of crawling in on his last legs, and nobody

sent out a search party for him. He had to crawl

home all by himself. It felt kind of bad for

him. It's not like you know Cheetor's head riding

home on the hand chariot You know for his broken

-up and concerned as primal was you think he

would have been a better daddy to him It's all

my fault. I was a little hard on the beaver No,

no animal no, he's he's referencing leave it

to beaver oh god michael don't don't don't michael

don't ever say a little hard on the beaver again

cause i just i just caught the uh... the loaded

weapon one reference of cathy ireland oh the

gratuitous beaver shot yeah yeah that was an

awesome scene the gratuitous beaver uh... oh

which reminds me of that link i sent you guys

No, no, no, no You can't go wrong with cheech

and vampire cheech come on or Chung well, you

know chunks kind of old and burnout They're they're

on tour again together, I think they made up

okay, we're getting Okay, frill scream part one.

What else do we have Steve? Do you want to go

now? Yes? I've been waiting for this all night.

Oh Lovely, he's gonna tear my favorite episodes

apart. I just know it holy shit. Um Yes, I like

how waspinator cowards behind Megatron as soon

as Dinobot comes out And then that charges like

I agree with a bug, but then I'm not crazy about

any of you Yeah I like Megatron's mad scientist

phrase From the tempest fury the spark ignites

to sigh a new life Transmetal to life I was really

surprised that he wasn't like it's alive alive

No, he already had that moment in season one.

Yes He's got Igor this time, so. Yes. Lost master.

I like how Dino Bot right after Depth Charger

blows away the three or the other two guys, Dino

Bot just jumps up, starts kicking him, kicking

him, and scratching the shit out of his front.

Yeah. Just damaging him horribly, which is awesome.

I almost forgot to mention the damage model.

Yeah, I always wait which damage model for who

oh Yeah Like he was coasting home Yep, which

that was I think the first time you actually

see either one of them have a damage model, which

was like horrible in damage Oh, I thought it's

a pretty nice touch. I was gonna say in the next

episode getting way ahead of ourselves When he

transforms in a beast mode and gets hit in the

chest with that huge gaping chest wound. Yep

You know that that's a damage model. Yeah Yeah,

there was also surprisingly enough a maximal

Subgrid called Zarek Yeah referencing Zarek from

yeah Yeah, sounds to me like the writers were

just you know making casual glances toward alt

toys transformers and finding words that they

well, I think they were just trying to plug continuity

in there somewhere so they're like hmm what random

name can we pull out of our ass from old continuity

okay that sounds good and it seems to match the

the crazy scientist robotic thing of headmasters

so let's do it um it could happen yes uh the

tasmanian devil megatron not a big fan yeah as

as that was funny as hell i don't care what you

say it was funny as hell Oh, yeah. spices things

up, as he calls it. Yeah, with some... what did

he say? Cheetor pepper? He said some... I forget

what it was. Cheetor peppers. Yeah, yeah. That's

funny. I just found a way to make a reference

to Transformers and Stone Temple Pilots. Steve,

you mentioned, or Michael, you mentioned the

gaping hole in Primal's chest and, you know...

Yeah. Is that a hole in your heart? How about

tripping on a paper hole in your heart? Which

is the title of an STP song. I've actually, I

don't want to say never heard Stone Temple Pilots.

Maybe I did in the 90s and just don't remember

what they're saying. I wasn't into the whole

grunge movement. Anyways, what else you got Steve?

The Transmental Driver that uh... has the Predacon

flavor it's got Cybertronics embossed on the

ridges it never actually tells this is like a

MacGuffin in itself because it doesn't tell where

the hell this thing came from there's been no

reference to it prior to this episode or where

the hell it came you know to be where Megatron

you know anything about finding this damn device

Yeah, and when depth charge scans it, it says

it's alien in origin and it was altered by Megatron.

That's all it says. How would it know it's altered

by Megatron? Megatron signed it. By Megatron.

Maybe G1 Megatron laser inscribed another message.

I call shenanigans on that one. He wasn't around

during the Transmetal time period. In the VOC,

I don't think we're quite aware of him. or vice

versa. Anyways, shortly before Depth Charge emerges

from the CR chamber, there's a close -up of a

read -out flashing, uh, fuck, in green. The F

character is stacked vertically, followed by

U in red. The text is upside down, probably intentionally

to lessen the chances that it would be noticed

before the episode aired. Yeah, you really had

to be watching for that or you'd miss it. I read

that off the wiki, which I'm going to go back

and I'm going to get a screen cap of that. Yeah,

I read it on the wiki and I was like, OK, well,

we'll keep an eye out for it. And when it happened,

it was literally like a second. Yeah, that's

why I'm going to go back through and I'm going

to find it and then I'm going to actually have

a screen cap. I can't read Cybertronian anyway,

so. Oh, that was in English. Who can? It wasn't

in English. Yes, it was. Are you sure? I think

it was in Cybertronian. No. It was. It was. Fuck.

Go back and get the screen cap then, because

I saw it. I didn't try to read it. Oh, I will

get it. Yeah, I'm determined now that this will

be. I will have this. So, are we ready to move

on to part two? So, starting Feral Scream part

two. The original air date was February 7th,

1999. Oh, wait, that's... Oh, wow. Huh. I didn't

interrupt this time. No, you didn't, but you

threw me off in the first place. Holy crap. I

read the second... Oh, God! I read part two's

description for part one, holy shit. What a gene

ass. And cue emphysema. Well, I don't think you

can breathe. I guess they're just gonna have

to be backwards. Optimus Primal and Cheetor are

tracking Waspinator on a mission to deliver a

stasis pod to Megatron, who plans to recreate

the lost Dinobot as a subservient for Hunter.

The operation is a success and Dinobot is reborn

as a Transmetal 2. Yeah, well you guys did. Well

if you would have stopped interrupting me in

the first place, I would have figured it out.

But I didn't figure it out. Of course you would

have. Oh god. Oh shit. Okay, so it's quiet enough

for a little rat nap. This is... Yeah, I'm gonna

go ahead and get two on my notes. Out of the

way now, because they kind of pretty much are

almost the same note. This is pretty much a puberty

and a teenager episode. Yeah, I could kind of

equate it to that. It's like a coming of age

of Cheetor. Well, yeah. Oh, the jives, the joy.

The joy of cyber puberty. I totally just, yeah,

I totally just screwed up that line, I'm sorry.

Yeah, um... His voice changed. In the dream sequence,

Silverbolt's laugh is just menacing. Yeah. When

they're all making fun of Cheetor. I like the

fisheye lens view, where everyone's face is all

distorted. Yeah, yeah. Um... Who badass optimal

optimus against depth charge he could give movie

verse primer run for his money. Give me your

face Yeah, you tell me what I want to know or

I'm taking it out of your ass, you know He doesn't

want anything out of his ass it smells like fish

But I was surprised that death charge actually

admitted that he knew what happened He's like,

all right. I'm sorry I knew I said he was dead,

but he's not. Yeah. Hey, I uh, I checked that

reference. Yeah. Of the um CRJ room with dub

charge. It does say fuck you. In English? Uh,

no, it's in Cybertronian. Ah, that's what I thought,

yeah. I used the maximal text font and it's of

course upside down. Yeah. backwards but it does

say fuck I think I would have noticed even if

it was just like lines and dots if it had said

fuck you in English it does the the green flashes

fuck and the red one flashes you you you just

goes yeah goes yeah and it keeps saying you you

you you you till he walks out yeah My two favorite

Waspinator Splat Alerts of the entire Beast Wars

three seasons is the very first one of the Chain

Guns of Doom and the one in this episode. Damn,

Waspinator Splat Alert, he got shredded by Transmetal

2 Dinobot. Oh yeah. Yeah, this was the Ginsu

Waspinator. uh... it it it's like you don't even

you know all you need is a transmittal to dino

bot in your office you don't need a paper shredder

but origami style it's kind of a toss -up between

this one and the cube waspinator ok three nobody

expects the spanish inquisition our two best

waspinator spot alerts are number one the galling

gun of doom and number two the shredder and three

Okay, I'll come back As I've said before I really

don't like the ape optimal optimus mode, it's

so ugly But he scratches himself Yeah, it's it's

an ape and he scratches himself You know later

so without that after wasp manner somehow puts

himself back together again He's wearing a sling

in a later scene. Yeah. And he's wearing a sling

in a later scene in his wasp mode. Not his robot

mode, it's his wasp mode. And it's on one of

his wasp tendrils or tentacles or whatever the

hell they have. An arm. Yeah. I don't know, whatever.

Wasp tentacles. I was touched by his noodly appendage.

Okay, ew. Cheetor went through puberty and came

out okay. I gotta say, Transmetal 2 Cheetor and

Beast Machines Cheetor are my two most favorite

designs, while Transmetal 1 is a close second

or third or whatever. This was really really

cool to see this design however Hasbro screwed

it up on the toy I Was gonna pull the toy out

and take a closer look at it because the amount

of detail on the cartoon is amazing And I'm not

sure if that translated very well to the figure

it didn't I haven't actually looked at it yet,

but I was thinking that as I was watching the

show Yeah Optimus back off you're embarrassing

me Stop kissing me mom So awkward yeah, like

I care it shreds preds, okay? He's like I really

like you. Oh, did I say that? No, I'm being cool.

Sorry. Yeah planning cool see Yeah, but it's

funny though cuz you can see that He is he's

thinking yeah, I'm gonna catch me out over here.

She's digging on me You know and she's standing

behind him going. I think I like it. I'll take

one Not so much because of him, but because of

the trends yeah Transmental to you know So who

wants to go now, I guess I will go okay Yes,

I will start out by saying There's a lot of good

confrontation moves in this episode Yeah, especially

between cheaters showing off primal getting in

depth charges face Cheaters Disturbing transformation

with the green goo from Ghostbusters The green

stuff What exactly does the green stuff do I'm

not sure why he's got green stuff coming out

of his ass. And it wasn't coming out of his ass,

it was coming out of his leg. Leg and chest,

it was coming from his spark. Well, in robot

mode, it came out of his chest. In beast mode,

it came out of his leg. I've seen this episode

enough times, don't argue with me, I know it

came out of... His left hip is where it came

out. The upper thigh, let's call it. Closest

gluteus maximus there. And if you look at his

toy, that panel actually flips open and you can

see his spark. It's supposed to be how they repair

is the transmetal tail. It just seems to me that

there's some green stuff coming out of his ass.

No, there isn't. It looks like his ass. No, it

doesn't. The Beast Unleashed podcast is not responsible

for any opinion Michael Wilson may have on this

podcast. Why won't use the CR chamber and then

rat traps? Well, maybe he's trying to prove something

and primal is like, I don't know Then our trip's

like I'm gonna go to sleep on the job. Good night

Maybe he's trying to prove something. Well, maybe

he's just spanking it in there and we don't know

He's like I won't know I'm not looking in the

room Well, they haven't videotaped that was the

I mean they've got the the security monitor in

their show basically looking directly at him

I Like how primal got directly in depth charges

face Like, you know, it's just it was awesome

that whole quote Yeah, listen hardhead, you know,

and then he's like I'll rip out your core processor

and extract it person Tear off your head and

shit down your neck I am so glad that we did

not start this podcast until after all of us

saw Revenge of the Fallen, because we wouldn't

be able to equate it to Give Me Your Face, because

as soon as I saw that scene with the two of them,

I'm like, holy crap, it's Movie Verse Optimus.

That's right, where they stole it from. They're

like, let's take a little bit of Optimus, and

yeah, we'll mix him with a little bit of classic,

and then give him a little bit of Bayverse. Divers.

Yeah. Bableby. Eww. Don't even cross -contaminate

them. Wait! Need plan! Waspinator in charge!

I am the plan. Waspinator and Dinobot. Yeah.

As he ginsues him. Yes. He slices and dices and

kills little mice's he's like peace off and then

he he's like I take this on my own don't need

you Just well, I thought it was terror sore in

season one I thought it was gonna be like one

of those anime things where you know, he kind

of you raise your sword and slice and the bad

guys like So I cut yeah, it's like is my head

cut off I can't tell and then he looks up and

his head rolls off and blood shoots everywhere,

you know And it was much more epic, you know,

I thought well He's just gonna slice him in two

or three pieces and they're all gonna fall to

the ground but the fact that he completely just

shredded him and in the confetti and there was

like little pieces of Confetti paper spiraling

down with it. You know waspinator head on top.

I thought that was Yes, it was also cool seeing

Cheetor revert back to his feral beast mode like

he did in Call of the Wild. The what? You gonna

say something, Steve? I said I probably did.

Oh. Wait, sometimes you can hear, you know, Cortley

going rawr, rawr, rawr, you know, which is, yeah,

okay, but then when he'll wake up from a dream

or specifically while he's Transmetal 2, Beast

Mode, they'll use what sounds like real, you

know, cat roars, rawr, rawr, you know, not like

rawr, rawr, rawr, but like really serious like

rawr, you know. Yeah, I Put it that way. Yeah,

well a lot of Frank Welker's animal sounds don't

sound like a person do them so If they could

get Frank Welker, they would have had him do

Ravage or Who am I thinking? G1 Megatron? Yeah,

and Ravage. Heck yeah, that would have been awesome.

I like all of the ornaments that were in Cheetor's

room. A photo of himself in Primal from the first

season, a big trophy with a Predacon insignia

on the base, a model of a solar system with,

you know, orbiting planets, something that could

be a model of a Cybertronian city, a photo of

Blackarachnia by his bed. A potted plant. That

was weed. Three spare tail clubs. A miniature

model of the Axlon. Because, you know, he wanted

something to remember the first ship he was on.

And then a clock of some kind. With something

with the solar system. And some other model thing.

I don't know. I like the model of the Axlon.

Yes, I did think that was cool. Yeah, at first

I thought it was like the Ark, and I'm like,

no, that's the Axilon with the guns deployed

and everything. Yeah, we haven't seen it in a

while, so... Don't wait, it's underwater. I'm

working on half like a titanic. Floating down

a river like a log. I actually liked, I really

enjoyed, and I'm not trying to interrupt Steve

here, but now that I'm thinking about this, I

really enjoyed the explosion model on Cheetor

when he finally... gets his transmetal tube body

to Shake off transmetal one how it just kind

of disintegrates off of him. I really enjoyed

that that was fun. Yeah That was a cool scene

Steve yes, anything else this this this two -parter

is not one of my favorites of the episode although

it does or of the season although it does start

going back to the more serious darker tone that's

going to pretty much hold out the rest of the

season yeah other than like for instance I think

the next lightest one that we've got is I believe

go with the flow is kind of a a lighter episode.

I think it's the last one we've got of the season,

though. Yeah. There's no, uh, Low Road 2? No,

thank God. I think Primus... All paths lead back

to the Low Road, the - one of the best episodes

of Season 2. You know what? You can - you can

go, like, someplace and go fuck yourself, because

that episode is garbage. Alright, so we're gonna

go to some clips or some quotes or something

and then we'll come back with the outro. I don't

get to go? Oh, wait, didn't you already go? No.

Oh, okay, well, what are your thoughts on - Oh

shit, well - Never mind me, I'll just go to a

corner and - Oh, god. What did you think of part

two? Hated it. Okay. Nah, I'm kidding. Uh, now

I'm pouting. Fine. I like that Primal still has

the vocoder in his voice. It's subtle, but he's

the only one that sounds metallic, if you will.

Because he's prime. Because he's prime. But no,

he's talking in just a regular conversational

voice. Almost like an echo overlay over it Do

the whole thing I'm assuming he eventually sheds

that Yes, I'm not sure I'm waiting for confirmation

but no, okay I'm not sure but the the whole thing

with cheetor and his Dr. Cheetor and mr. Hyde

thing Yeah, it's it's like it's almost like he's

a werewolf Where yeah, I'm damaged, but then

I turn into a wolf at night and I you know stalk

the Predacons And then when I wake up, I'm all

I'm back to my own self and I'm healed and feeling

great You know, but you know, he has to come

to grips with the fact that he has this new form

And that it's actually him so he's got this strange

in a form of transformer lycanthropy. Please

tell me I don't have to explain to you what lycanthropy

is. No, you don't. Go ahead. All right, good.

So we're going to have to Google that one, too.

Yeah, but eventually, you know, he comes to grips

with it. He's got a nice new robot mode that

he's very proud of. But at this point, he's you

know, his voice changes and he's all about the

teen angst. Yeah. And he's like, You know what

why you got to be picking on me, you know, I'm

not a machine you bastards, you know And especially

it's where the end where you've got, you know

primal kind of like take a walk with me boy and

they go out and he says You know, I think you're

going through something and I think you're just

not being completely honest with me and Cheater

is acting completely like he just got caught

spanking it Yeah, he's like, what? No, man. What

are you talking about? I'm fine. It's nothing

wrong with me. Get out of my room. Don't look

under my blanket. The white stuff. Yeah. So,

um, yeah, it's just... Damn it, Steve. He just

pulls the shit out of his hat, you know, completely

out of his hat, and I can't think straight now.

Because I got this stuck in my head. Piece of

crap. Yeah, but no, it's totally teen angst,

and he's got, you know, the change in the voice

and the pimples and the social awkwardness. Maybe

that's why I didn't like these episodes. It was

like too much like people from high school like

no no Nightmares with people with fisheye lens

faces. Yeah, I didn't really care for these episodes

to be honest like any of the You know any any

of these three really? Yeah, well how many times

is them? Yeah, how many times is a cheater gonna?

You know, go through a growth spurt. Once more

after this. Oh yeah, one more time. Well at that

point he's an adult. Well yeah, but it's still

a growth spurt. Yeah, he gets taller. He gets

taller and a little less awkward. You know, but

here he's just like awkward. Especially when

he starts talking to women. It's a good thing

that Air Racer's not still around because he

you know, he would be really awkward then. Yeah,

he'd knock the other cat out of the water. That's

right. I just had a horrible, horrible image

put in my head when you mentioned Air Racer because

the only thing I can think of is fangirl slash

fiction of big cat little cat with him and Tyga

drawn. They got the big three -way going. where

they're doing the fist bump on either side of

her. Like, yeah. So that'd be a true fuser. Oh,

jeez. Only if they touched in the middle, which

would be... I don't know if that's really anatomically

possible. It'd be a flying cat. Oh, boy. Talk

about killing two birds with one stone. Holy

crap. You mean killing one bird with two stones?

One bird with two cats. Four stones. What else?

Oh, yeah, I see, because they like two of them.

I need to decide. Yeah, okay. Fist bumping. But

yeah, that's pretty much all I had for this one.

You know, I think I'm in consensus where I like

the idea that they've introduced the Transmetal

2 driver and that, you know, you've... You've

got a new cheetor, but a lot of this is really

derivative. I mean, we've already seen Megatron

as Frankenstein. You know, he's done the mad

scientist thing before. We've already seen him

in his Enerjacuzzi with the rubber ducky. You

know, it's nice that Scott McNeil gets to do

Ginobot again, even though he's got marbles in

his mouth. But, uh... You know, it's all been

done before. If you know what I mean. Yes. Yours.

Yes. Thank you, Megatron. Excellent. Yes. I needed

that ego boost to have a Megatron agree with

me. Yes. Speaking of which, David Kay was just

online. But no longer. Anyways, um... Stop. Stop

stalking David Kay on Facebook, dammit. Alright,

so now we are going to move to the outro clip

and the quotes of the episode and we will come

back with the outro. Do it, Cheetor. Maximize!

Maximize! Yes! You did it! Optimus, back off,

okay? You're embarrassing me. We'll return to

the Beast Unleashed podcast after this. Hey,

this is Cheetor and you're listening to the Beast

Unleashed podcast. ultra gear and here's quote

number one quick strike you may lead yeah that's

what i like to hear royalty why was i not chosen

because inferno when expecting booby traps or

we send a boob in first here's quote number two

Hate to interrupt your picnic, but we got big

bread problems! Just hang on, Rattrap. You and

Rhinox are our last hope. Defend the - Defend

the - There he is, my little guy. There he is,

my little guy. Isn't he cute? It's not what I

wanted to hear. So this is the new improved cheeto

Yeah, this is it teach me to pull the plug on

Meg's machinery, huh? It's got some nice features

I could get used to it. Yeah, I mean Whatever

Don't let it go to your processor blondie. I'm

just saying that a transmetal to body doesn't

look too bad Like I care what it looks like.

It shreds preds, okay? That's the spirit. Oh

yeah. I think I like it. So do I. to the Beast

Unleashed podcast. So yes, I would like to apologize

to everybody for screwing up the Feral Scream

two -parter. It's all Michael Wilson's fault

because he kept interrupting me when I was trying

to read the first one and then I just completely

glossed over part one and so when you're listening

to Feral Scream part one it's actually part two's

description and part one's description is in

part two. oh god and we can't re -record that

fifty -minute uh... montage so that's not gonna

happen so we're just gonna have to leave it the

way it is always uh... record just the summaries

and place them on top of those tracks i know
