* While in the ''literal'' sense this trope doesn't apply in ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' (though Tarantulas probably would have eaten any hominid he managed to catch), the technical sense gets more than its look in. Tarantulas relishes eating living creatures, and is quite willing to add Cybertronians to the menu- a fact made [[NightmareFuel terrifyingly clear]] in the third episode. In fact, in the first season, it was this literal appetite for carnage and bloody gluttony that was his defining trait, to the extent that his official season 1 profile talks mainly about his appetite and defines him as a "twisted gourmand", as opposed to the MadScientist and Machievallian plotter of seasons 2 and 3. Rampage, we are reminded regularly, (mainly by the PsychoForHire himself), tortured, butchered and ''ate'' the entire population of no less then two Maximal colonies before ending up in the ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''. In one of the first season episodes, Dinobot eats a psuedo-clone of himself (a biologically grown raptor with a cybernetic brain).
