[[caption-width-right:900:some caption text]]

* AxCrazy: Dead End's favourite thing in life is killing - as much as possible. Played with, in that when off the job he's not particularly violent at all. In fact, he tends to be quiet and reclusive.

!!!'''Beast Mode''': Wasp

* KillerRabbit: Zigzagged. Stampy's more PluckyComicRelief given his cowardice, but he's still a fighting robot, and his twin blades, formed by his rabbit mode's ears, are diamond-sharp -- even if he's unwilling to fight himself, he can be quite dangerous when transformed into his "scissors" mode and wielded by another Maximal.

* GasMaskMook: His face, appropriately for a guy who turns into a jet, looks like a pilot's oxygen mask.

* AbsurdlyLongWait: As per his bio quote above. Armordillo is known to build brilliantly elaborate traps and then waiting silently and patiently for days or weeks on end until a Predacon steps right into it.

* DramaPreservingHandicap: Needless to say, his "Time Freeze" could make battles go much easier for his team, unfortunately it takes a while to recharge between uses.

* CoolOldGuy: The versions who are the original Ironhide, at least.

* {{Foil}}: To later addition to their unit Mach Kick. Longrack is serious and by the book but immature and in experienced while Mach Kick is hot blooded and easy going but an experienced warrior and second in command.

* JerkassHasAPoint: When the Autorollers tried to force Bigmos to assist them by playing on his debts, Mantis said he should ignore it and focus on the here-and-now. Bigmos eventually used this to work his way out of his predicament.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: A giant sized spider. And by "giant sized" we mean "mobile battle station" big.

* {{Sadist}}: Apparently Tarantulas had a hand in Arachnid's design, and some of his personality got into the mix, resulting in a giant spider which likes to toy with its food.

* IdiotHero: None of the Tripledacus team are renowed for their intellect. Motorarm is no exception.
* NightmareFace: As a result of being a repaint of Ramhorn, he's got a very unsettling looking face on him. ''Beast Wars II'' doesn't even ''try'' making it look less terrifying.

* HiddenDepths: He's a BloodKnight, but he does also like sitting down in a quiet field and writing poetry.

* UseYourHead: Being as his alt-mode is a bison, he does tend to ram things a lot.

A cowardly Maximal more of use in non-combat-based tasks.

* ThoseTwoGuys: Tends to hang out most with Tasmania Kid, who drags him into numerous schemes that more often then not, get them into trouble.

* HeroWorshipper: He greatly admires Big Convoy after witnessing him single handily win the battle that wiped out his unit, to the point of tracking him down and begging to join his team of cadets just for the chance to serve under him.
** He has a similar reaction to Lio Convoy, causing Stampy to call him out as a fan boy of "Legendary Warriors" in general.
* HiddenDepths: It's important to remember that despite his free spirited, over eager personality Mach Kick is an experienced warrior and the former lieutenant of the Thoroughbred Corps. Signs of this are shown by him quickly figuring out how the computer systems of Arachide operate with a few quick observastions and thinking with better tactics then the less experenced lieutenant Longrack.

* SurvivorGuilt: While he doesn't normally show any signs, he's hinted to have this due to the above tropes. In his second episode the computer of Arachide creates a hologram of his former superior Strada claiming to have survived the battle that wiped out their unit and wanting to rebuild it with him at his side. Mach Kick, despite being pretty wise to the computer's tricks for the majority of the episode, almost eagerly accepts this at face value until Longrack snaps him out of it.

* CombiningMecha: The original version is one of Prowl, Ironhide and Silverbolt. The 2016 version, using ''Combiner Wars'' molds, adds Tigertron and Unit 3.

An infantry solider who ironically is poor with others, leading him to be assigned to protect a planet inhabited by rare animals.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In the IDW comics. He’s stern and snarky, but he’s kindhearted and cares deeply for those under his command.

* IWorkAlone: The acceptation being his former partner Big Convoy who he wished to team up with again.

* TheMedic: He studies the work of great medics such as Ratchet and hopes to one day found a galactic medical corp.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the ''Ascending'' comic, he's give a more hyper active, battle eager personality making him almost the complete opposite of his original characterisation.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the early episodes Stampy's first response to danger was to run but in later episodes he stands firm by his comrades.

* KillerRabbit: Zigzagged. Stampy's more PluckyComicRelief given his cowardice, but he's still a fighting robot and his twin blades, formed by his rabbit mode's ears, are diamond-sharp -- even if he's unwilling to fight himself, he can be quite dangerous when transformed into his "scissors" mode and wielded by another Maximal.

* BewareMyStingerTail: His wasp mode stinger is diamond tipped.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:According to Hasbro, the ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' Maximal, Buzzsaw, is the same character saved from Megatron's virus by Rattrap, and now fights alongside the Maximals.]]

* IWorkAlone: Big Convoy was really anti-social before Beast Wars Neo. Because of this, the Convoy Council ordered him to train a crew of unruly recruits to curb his psychotically anti-social behavior. Funnily enough, it worked! Downplayed however, as at the end of the series he returns to operating solo but is open to cooperating with others.

A Maximal recruit that appears in the Beast Wars Neo cartoon who wants to be the best.

* AdaptationalNationality: Bump's IDW incarnation hails from the Cybertron colony world of Eukaris, rather than his Beast Wars Neo incarnation, who's a regular Maximal from Cybertron.

* FlatEarthAtheist: His Beast Wars Neo incarnation believes only in science and considers Cybertronian religions and beliefs to be nothing more than over-hyped fairy tales. Despite them... you know... ''actually being real''.

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Bump's Beast Wars Neo incarnation wears glasses in his beast mode; it's as adorable as it sounds.

Colada is a lone wolf Maximal cobra who appears in the Beast Wars Neo cartoon, later joining up with Big Convoy's Maximal crew.

DJ is the eldest of the three Jointron brothers that appear in the Beast Wars II cartoon. He's just as dumb as the rest of his brothers.

Gimlet is the youngest of the Jointrons. He appears in the Beast Wars II cartoon alongside his brothers; he's dumb as the rest of them.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: According to Hasbro, the ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' Maximal, Buzzsaw, is the same character saved from Megatron's virus by Rattrap, and now fights alongside the Maximals.]]

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: The original, ''Beast Wars II'' version was a human-made robot. Some versions have their point of origin changed, with his ''IDW G1'' continuity version being a Cybertronian-born.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: In ''IDW's Beast Wars: The Ascending'' [[spoiler:he was apparently crushed alongside Manta Ray by Drancron when he rolled over them.]]
