History FanFic / BeastWarsFanSeries

* HypotheticalCasting: The voices of the characters is all a matter of the perspective of the readers, and while some readers will probably hear the voices from the original series, the writer himself has said that he wrote some characters with certain voices in mind, such as:
** Megatron and Galvatron were both written with Creator/JimCummings in mind, though they were originally written with the late Creator/MichaelClarkeDuncan in mind.
** Imagine Creator/AntonioBanderas as Spittor.

** Heck, even Bonecrusher and Quickstrike -- you know, ThoseTwoBadGuys? They may be Predacons, but during the finale they tell each other that they wouldn't have anyone else as a best friend...before Grimlock kills them.

* FiveManBand:
** TheBigBad: Megatron/Galvatron
** TheDragon: Scorponock/Inferno/Scarem
** TheEvilGenius: Tarantulas
** TheDarkChick: Blackarachnia
** ThoseTwoBadGuys: Quickstrike and Bonecrusher
** SixthRanger: The Insecticons

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Besides all the robot-slang swearing such as "slag" and "scrap", there's also some very subtle euphemisms strewn about. Have fun looking for them.

* BadassBoast: Of a sort, when Victoria's brother asks her if she's scared during the final battle.
--> Victoria: Of course I'm scared. Moreso than before. But don't worry. Everything's going to be fine. I'll protect you all. Now, if you'll excuse me, me and the Maximals have some Predacons to destroy.

--> Dinobot: Where is your Royalty now?

--> Megatron? Megatron is dead. You saw to that yourself, Tarantulas. I have a new name now. You should learn it before you die. I am Galvatron!

--> Victoria: Papa, we fight the Predacons on an almost daily basis. I've been shot at, cut, burned, almost crushed, and almost eaten several times. All to protect you and everyone else back home, because if the Predacons win in this world, then history as we know it will change forever -- one of the consequences of time travel.

--> Victoria: I HATE SPIDERS!

--> Please stop looking at me like that. You're scaring me.

--> Rattrap: What's with the look?
--> Silverbolt: Rattrap, I have learned that when she gives you that look, you stop talking.

* LampshadeHanging: You'd think all this time travel would have adverse effects on the time stream. This is brought up more than once.

--> Why does it have to rain or something during times like this?

--> Dinobot: Galvatron, your insane ambitions will kill us all.
--> Blackarachnia: Well, what did you expect, you tin terrorist? That I would die for your insane ambitions?

---> Tarantulas: Who dares interrupt my coronation?\\

* PrecisionFStrike: The most blatant example is Blackarachnia at the end of Season Two while arguing with Silverbolt.
--> Blackarachnia: Shut up, shut up, shut up, SHUT THE FRAK UP!

--> Depth Charge: Raw Energon, X, right through your twisted Spark! Take it. Take it straight to hell, you sickening piece of slag!

--> (from Movie 2): See for yourselves all the powers of hell! (later): Burn! Burn in the fires of hell!
--> (from The Agenda: Part 3): And now, I unleash the fall of vengeance and let loose the fires of hell!

--> You bastard!
** This IS rated K+, right?

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In "The Final Countdown, Part 2", the Maximals -- save for Victoria -- have been beaten and broken by the mind-raping powers of the Labyrinth, prompting Victoria to say this:
--> I don't believe this. I don't believe this. Here we are, so close to bringing this to an end, so close to beating the Predacons and saving the universe, and you just want to quit? All because we've been going through a cave? All because you've had some experience you don't want to talk about? Please tell me I'm not hearing this? (when no one responds) Oh my gosh, I AM hearing this. Here you are, the people who taught me to be strong, the people who have taught me so much, given me so much courage and strength, the people who have become my closest friends, just stopping when we are so close to ending all this. And now you want to stop, call it quits, because you're a little scared? You know that courage you've all given me? Well, maybe you should have kept some for yourselves. But that's fine. I don't need you. I'll save the universe by myself. I'll save Cybertron, I'll save my home, I'll destroy the Predacons without any of you.

---> Have you forgotten that the Predacons gathered the Time Stones? They have rewritten history, bent reality to their will. Life in the universe hangs on by a thread. We have taken to hiding deep within Cybertron, because you, Optimus Primal, you have failed. You failed Cybertron. You failed the Maximals. You failed me. Failed. Failed. Failed.

* RunningGag: This:
--> Rattrap: Alright, kid, what's the plan?
--> Victoria: I'm making it up as I go.
--> Rattrap: I hate it when you say that.
** Well, that's the gist of it, anyway. Any plan Victoria makes, for the most part, consists of her just winging it.

* FiveBadBand:

--> Tarantulas: Who dares interrupt my coronation?
--> Galvatron: Coronation, Tarantulas? This is bad comedy, yess.

--> Have you forgotten that the Predacons gathered the Time Stones? They have rewritten history, bent reality to their will. Life in the universe hangs on by a thread. We have taken to hiding deep within Cybertron, because you, Optimus Primal, you have failed. You failed Cybertron. You failed the Maximals. You failed me. Failed. Failed. Failed.

** ''TransformersPrime'' (Dark Energon is referenced, as is its power to bring back the dead)

* ShutUpHannibal: Mostly directed towards Megatron/Galvatron.
--> Cheetor: How about I remedy your existence, Mega-Jerk!
--> Victoria: Galvatron, you are so dispicable. Now, DIE!

--> Shut up. Just the thought of what you did to me and Natalie all those decades ago makes me sick. Even worse than that is seeing you alive and kicking and still reeking of that darn swamp smell. Just that gives me the strength to destroy you, you sick monster! This is for Natalie! And Victoria!

--> Spittor: You will have to do better than that.
--> Cheetor: Spare me your mockery, frog. I plan on it!

--> Galvatron: What, no destiny and honor speech?
--> Optimus Primal: Speech...(*PUNCHES GALVATRON*) This! Murderer.

** Then there are the monsters that Victoria encounters in the Labyrinth, who are basically Lickers from ''ResidentEvil'', but with skin.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8456265/1/Beast-Wars-Fan-Series Beast Wars Fan Series]] is a Beast Wars fanfic -- written in script form -- written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4211167/ Kenny Rutter]] and meant as a sequel/remake of the original series. It's been the author's labor of love for nearly ten years. Picking up 80,000 years after the Maximals and Predacons arrive on Earth and set during the American Civil War, the story follows the adventures of a teenager named Victoria Taylor who, after being trapped in the past thanks to a temporal anomaly, joins the fight to keep reality safe from the Predacons.

[[AC: This fanfic provides tropes of:]]

* AGodAmI: Once he gets the Time Stones, Galvatron actually believes himself to be the most powerful being in the universe. As he puts it:
--> Maximals! Behold the object of your final destruction! And behold the one who will bring it upon you! I am the dominator! I am the destroyer! I am the alpha!I am the omega! And with this final Time Stone, I have become death, destroyer of worlds.

** ''Inuyasha'' (Victoria is a clear expy of Kagome, and she even tells Levi's dog at one point to "Sit", just like Kagome does with Inuyasha; Depth Charge also has hints of Sesshomaru's attituce, Nani is basically Rin, and Cybershark is a more courageous version of Jaken)
** ''Gundam'' (When Grimlock goes to the future, the bad guys are seen walking around in these mechs that look like Gundams)

* NightmareFuel: A majority of the Predacons were intended to be scary -- Megatron, Galvatron, Scarem, Rampage, Magmatron, and at times even Bonecrusher and Quickstrike -- but there's also the fact that Galvatron is trying to pull an ''ApocalypseHow'' by completely destroying and rewriting reality, the Wendigo, the multiple nightmares seen throughout the series, by both Cheetor and Victoria, the constant ''AdultFear'' Victoria's parents go through not knowing if their daughter's safe or not, the Predacons' several ''WouldHurtAChild'' moments, the monsters int he labyrinth -- geez, this list could go on.

* TearJerker: Natalie's death, the fate of Samantha's brother, the whole story behind Shawna and her mother, Native American Princess Silver Fox being a Wendigo, the near destruction of Victoria's world, Dinobot's ''HeroicSacrifice'', Bonecrusher's betrayal, Tigatron and Airrazor disappearing, Tigerhawk's death, Waspinator's death after his ''HeelFaceTurn'', Scorponock's villainous sacrifice, and finally, everyone saying goodbye at the end of the series.
** Please excuse me while I wipe my tears away.

* TooCoolToLive: Depth Charge and Tigerhawk, primarily. At least Tigerhawk got to hang around a bit longer than before, half a season as opposed to two episodes.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There was going to be an explanation about that key chain that Victoria found in the first episode, but nothing came of it.
** There were also going to be more crossovers, specifically with Gargoyles and potentially Mega Man. But after the third movie, the writer wanted to get in to the final story arc and bring the series to a close.

* {{Badass}}: All soldiers and all kick-ass robots.

* HeyItsThatVoice: The voices of the characters is all a matter of the perspective of the readers, and while some readers will probably hear the voices from the original series, the writer himself has said that he wrote some characters with certain voices in mind, such as:
** Megatron and Galvatron were both written with Jim Cummings in mind, though they were originally written with the late Michael Clarke Duncan in mind.
** Imagine Antonio Banderas as Spittor.

* GenreSavvy: Megatron's original EvilPlan is what he wanted to do in the original series; knowing full well that if the Autobots ceased to exist before the Great War, then the Decepticons would win by default. Victoria's arrival in this world, however, throws a huge monkey wrench into his plans, and once he finds the Time Stones, he attacks Victoria's world first.

* EverythingIsEvenWorseWithSharks: Cybershark's Beast Form is a mako shark, but he's not a jerk like one would expect. He's very loyal to Depth Charge and helps keep Nani safe after they "adopt" her.

* Badass: All soldiers and all kick-ass robots.

** For Victoria, if you threaten her friends or her home, she WILL end you. Just as Blackarachnia and the Insecticons. Or Galvatron.
*** Oh wait, they're dead.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Victoria, by her nature, is actually a very sweet girl, but whatever you do, do NOT piss her off. She may be the weakest character physically, but when she gets into a fight -- as Blackarachnia and the Panther Clan found out -- she doesn't pull her punches.
*** All that training the Maximals gave her seems to be paying off.

* Crossover: Two crossovers with ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony:FriendshipisMagic'' in the second season, each one taking place over the course of three episodes.

* Expy: Many, many characters are expies of characters in other works. For example, Victoria is a clear expy of Kagome from Inuyasha.

* Foreshadowing: During Victoria's dream in the third movie, Natalie says that Victoria will end up giving her life in the final battle. SPOILER WARNING: That doesn't happen.

** Cheetor. The [KidAppealCharacter] who was once impulsive and did whatever he could to impress Optimus Primal is now a brooding expy of Cloud Strife, given that he's experienced several tragedies in the past -- betrayals, watching friends die, failing to save his human love interest -- and he's doing whatever he can to prevent any of that from happening again.

** Heck, even Bonecrusher and Quickstrike -- you know, [ThoseTwoBadGuys]? They may be Predacons, but during the finale they tell each other that they wouldn't have anyone else as a best friend...before Grimlock kills them.

This fanfic provides tropes of:

** In fact, all the Maximals share that same button--threaten their friends and you're on the receiving end of a ''CurbStombBattle''.

* BodyHorror: There's Silver Fox's transformation into the Wendigo, Cheetor's rather painful upgrade into his TransMetal 2 body, and the monsters in the Labyrinth.

* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeLikeHim: By the end of the third movie, Victoria gets ready to kill Jean-Louis, though the other Maximals stop her by telling her that she'd be no better than Galvatron if she did.

* LookWhatICanDo Now: Whenever a character goes through some sort of upgrade.

* TankGoodness: Rampage's Vehicle Form when he becomes a TransMetal is, of course, a big tank.

--> This is for Natalie! (BAM!) For Bantor (BAM!) For Air Hammer!(BAM!) For Scorponock!(BAM!) For Tigatron!(BAM!) For Airrazor!(BAM!) For Jason!(BAM!) For Dinobot!(BAM!) For TransMutate!(BAM! )For Blackarachnia!(BAM!) For Depth Charge!(BAM!) For Tigerhawk!(BAM!) For Cybertron!(BAM!) For my home!(BAM!) For everything.

* BigBadCreepyCrawlies: As before, most of the Predacons are giant bugs. Victoria doesn't say much when it comes to Quickstrike, Scorponock, Inferno, the Insecticons, or Waspinator, but THEN she sees the spiders.

* ActionMovieQuietDramaScene: This trope is prevalent throughout the series, usually filling up entire episodes or filling entire arcs.

* ArtificialBeast: Per the norm when it comes to Beast Wars. Victoria and Natalie both freak out when they realize this.

** ''DoctorWho'' (actually referenced by name during Victoria's dream in the third movie)

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Sure, Victoria, try to upload Dinobot's datatrax to Dinobot and have him come back to the Maximals, it's not like it will almost get Rattrap killed or anything.[''SarcasmMode'']

* Badass: Name a character. Any character.

* BigBadassBirdOfPrey: A peregrine falcon, a cross between a hammerhead shark and a red-tailed hawk, you could argue a Pterodactyl....

* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Optimus Primal
** TheLancer: Cheetor/Silverbolt/Tigerhawk/
** TheBigGuy: Rhinox/Grimlock
** TheSmartGuy: Rattrap
** TagalongKid: Stinkbomb
** ActionGirl: Victoria/Airrazor
** SixthRanger: Depth Charge/Cybershark
** LoveableSexManiac: Tigatron (though he's incredibly tame about it)

* GenreSavvy: Megatron's original plan is pretty much what he wanted to do in the original series; knowing full well that if the Autobots ceased to exist before the Great War, then the Decepticons would win by default. Victoria's arrival in this world, however, throws a huge monkey wrench into his plans, and once he finds the Time Stones, he attacks Victoria's world first.
