History Trivia / BeastWars

** ScottMcNeil voices Dinobot, Waspinator, Rattrap and Silverbolt.

** NobuyukiHiyama is Rampage's Japanese voice.

** Waspinator was going to be sacrificed at the beginning of the second season, but [[PopularityPower his popularity]] as TheChewToy saved him, with [[spoiler:Terrorsaur and Scorponok]] being the sacrificed ones.

*** On top of that, it was originally intended that the two-part GrandFinale was meant to only conclude Season 3 - except as a ''three''-part story. It would have explained Tarantulas' past and motives in greater detail and revealed the reasons for his hatred of the Vok. When ExecutiveMeddling (the desire to create the [[BrokenBase controversial]] ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'') kicked in, resulting in Season 3 being the last season (dropping a potential Season 4), this idea was scrapped (though remnants of this do appear in the SpinOff comics).

** For the series finale, Mainframe wanted to have the Maximals fly the ''Ark'' and engage the ''Nemesis''. On top of that, the ''Nemesis'' would have been manned by revived [[TransformersGeneration1 Decepticons Thrust, Dirge and Ramjet]]. Budget and time constraints force them to drop the idea.

** In ''The Agenda part 2'', the writers wanted Creator/FrankWelker to reprise his role as [[TransformersGeneration1 G1 Megatron]]. Sadly, M. Welker had a very busy schedule and the cost involved for just a few lines prompted the writers to drop the idea. [[GaryChalk Gary Chalk]] filled-in for the role.

* PromotedFanboy: Benson Yee, operator of the popular web site bwtf.com and convention visitor. He was approached for G1

knowledge and received a 'consultant' credit in certain episodes. There's a lesser version of this where several fans get minor mentions in-series (usually in the names of sectors on the map and such).

** Waspinator and Rhinox had Transmetal toys in the toy line, even though they never changed bodies in the show. This becomes an important point for Rhinox if you support the theory that he [[spoiler: decides that Cybertron should be made purely technological in BeastMachines]] because he had become hateful of his comparatively useless beast mode.

*** The second, called ''Bitch Wars'', (which was ''hopefully'' just a working title) would have Airazor and Blackarachnia leaving their factions, then teaming up and [[StartMyOwn start their own all-female faction.]] It was not made because the writers had no idea how to deal with the concept realistically.

** "Fallen Comrades" was originally going to introduce Wolfang. Of course, between a certain new toy about to come out, Wolfang's own toy being old news and that tinkering Cheetor's existing character model/design would save time and money, Tigatron was used instead.

*** In this very same episode, when Ravage transforms in cassette mode, the original [[ThemeTune Transfomers cartoon theme song]] was meant to be played. However, copyright issues complicated things so the idea was scrapped.

*** On top of that, it was originally intended that the two-part SeriesFinale was meant to be just the finale - a ''three''-part finale - for Season 3. It would have explained Tarantulas' motives better and explained his hatred of the Vok. When ExecutiveMeddling (the desire to create the [[BrokenBase controversial]] ''BeastMachines'') kicked in and made Season 3 the last season (dropping a planned Season 4), this was scrapped (though remnants of this do appear in the SpinOff comics).

*** [[BeyondTheImpossible Often at the same time.]]

** Rhinox has the same voice actor as M. Bison from [[Series/StreetFighter the American cartoon]]. '''YES YES!!!'''

** "Dark Glass", a very dark episode since scrapped that would've filled in a nasty little PlotHole dealing with Dinobot's EvilKnockoff during the series' finale.

* FanNickname
** Dinobot '''is''' [[MemeticMutation Raptor Jesus!]]

* [=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=]:

* FeedMe: Nearly all of Inferno's dialogue. His psychosis is so over-the-top that everything he says is a chance for his voice actor to go nuts.
--> "FOR THE ROYALTY!"

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: "Dark Glass", a very dark episode since scrapped that would've filled in a nasty little PlotHole dealing with Dinobot's EvilKnockoff during the series' finale. Also, some elements of ''[[TransformersTransTech Transtech]]'' made it into ''Animated'' (Blurr, for example is very similar in appearance to ''Transtech'' Cheetor)
