&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Captured by Ravage, Megatron lets the former Decepticon warrior in on the secret of the Golden Disk and gets him to switch sides.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{episodenav |BW |season=2 |12 |prev=The Agenda (Part 1) |next=The Agenda (Part III)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
With Megatron a prisoner and the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] scattered, the [[Maximal]]s prepare to wrap things up. [[Optimus Primal]] summons [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] to his office and comes down on him about [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]]. Silverbolt points out that she was originally a Maximal protoform and that he himself was a Predacon once, but Primal counters that Blackarachnia is evil to the core, whereas Silverbolt just didn&#039;t know any better. He confines Silverbolt to quarters and dispatches [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] to deal with Blackarchnia, despite Silverbolt&#039;s request to be sent, if only to protect Cheetor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his cell, Megatron berates Ravage for siding with the Maximals, to which Ravage responds that Megatron is an inferior leader when compared to his namesake. Megatron also points out that Ravage&#039;s [[Transwarp Cruiser|ship]] is depleted of [[energon]]. He offers a stash of [[energon cube|cube]]s for his freedom, but Ravage reveals he already knows the stash&#039;s location, as [[Tarantulas]] is a Lieutenant in the [[Predacon Secret Police]]. Cheetor prepares to go out for Blackarachnia, but first apologizes to Silverbolt, who also apologizes&amp;amp;mdash;for the punch he gives Cheetor right afterward. Escaping, Silverbolt locates Blackarachnia following [[Waspinator]] to [[Mount St. Hilary|a mountain]]. Silverbolt begs her to come in, but Blackarachnia claims to have no feelings for him at all. To prove her point, she shoots him. But as Silverbolt points out, it was non-fatal, saying she does care for him and won&#039;t simply kill him. While they are [[Kiss|distracted]], the hoverpod they&#039;re in rams into Waspinator, shattering both, but Silverbolt saves Blackarachnia. (Waspinator is out of luck, as usual.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heading for the energon cubes, Optimus and Cheetor discover that they are actually [[Energon crystal|unstable crystal]]s and part of a trap by Megatron. [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] attacks, but soon suffers from energon buildup. Inferno then ignites the crystals in an attempt to destroy them all. The chain reaction destroys the mountain and seemingly incinerates Inferno, but Optimus and Cheetor manage to escape. Once they&#039;re safe, Optimus informs Ravage of what happened. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At his ship, Ravage confronts Megatron over his treachery. Megatron points out that Ravage intends to kill them all, Maximal and Predacon. Ravage admits to this and arms the vessel&#039;s internal autoguns. Desperate, Megatron reveals he had ulterior motives for stealing the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]], something which could affect the [[Great War]]. Ravage doubts him, pointing out the Disk&#039;s destruction, but allows Megatron to convince him. Released from his [[power bond]]s, the Predacon commander reveals that he still has a fragment of the Disk, and it holds proof that Ravage will believe&amp;amp;mdash;a message from [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], the [[Decepticon leader|leader]] of the [[Decepticon]]s. Noting his potential defeat, Megatron left instructions for the descendants of the Decepticons to use [[transwarp]] technology to travel back in time to Ancient [[Earth]]. Although the message cuts out partway through, the Predacon&#039;s gambit succeeds: Ravage, moved by the sight of his former leader, releases Megatron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the mountain, Blackarachnia and Silverbolt discover that Megatron was already there, having dug a tunnel and then sealed it. Blackarachnia attempts to make Silverbolt leave, but finally accepts his help. As Optimus and Cheetor return to the &#039;&#039;[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]&#039;&#039;, [[Rattrap]] radios Optimus, telling him they no longer need to depend on Ravage&amp;amp;mdash;he&#039;s switched sides! As Ravage [[transformation|transforms]] to interface with his ship, the Predacons launch an attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This is Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. And if you&#039;re hearing this, it means I&#039;ve failed...&#039;&#039;this&#039;&#039; time.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Technical/Animation Glitches===&lt;br /&gt;
*Glitch&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Continuity errors===&lt;br /&gt;
*Tarantulas heads the recovery mission for Megatron&#039;s energon stash, yet it&#039;s been established that his new base is loaded with stable energon. Why doesn&#039;t he and Ravage simply use &#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039; to repower the stealth cruiser?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transformers references===&lt;br /&gt;
*When Megatron shows the recording from the remains of the Golden Disk, the face and voice of the original Megatron are shown.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Ravage transforms, the sound effect is the one used by all Transformers in the [[Generation One|original series]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Originally, when Ravage transformed and inserted his cassette mode into the control console, the G1 cartoon theme song was going to play during his first cry of &amp;quot;Decepticons Forever!&amp;quot; and subsequent attack on the &#039;&#039;Axalon&#039;&#039;. However, due to copyright constraints, this plan was dropped, and a more generic song was put in its place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Real-world references===&lt;br /&gt;
*Efforts were made to get [[Frank Welker]] to provide the voice for Megatron&#039;s message, but financial and scheduling conflicts precluded this from happening.  [[Gary Chalk]] voiced him instead.&lt;br /&gt;
*When Waspinator is smashed to pieces by the stasis pod ship, a toilet is seen falling down among the wreckage.&lt;br /&gt;
*After the crash with Waspinator, when Blackarachnia is saved by Silverbolt, he breaks the fourth-wall when he tells her &amp;quot;...and, I&#039;m a heroic character.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trivia===&lt;br /&gt;
*Primal has a tiny trophy of a gorilla on his desk.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Megatron is the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]] [[Emperor of Destruction|leader]] from the [[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]].  He later upgrades into &#039;&#039;&#039;Galvatron&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RIDMegatronGrippy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Let&#039;s see, I conquered Care-a-lot, Ponyville, Sesame Street, that planet Gumby came from...]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; is the leader of the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]].  He claims to have decimated numerous planets during his campaign for Predacon supremacy before coming to [[Earth]] in search of the megaweapon [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]].  He appears to have come into conflict with Optimus Prime and his Autobots numerous times before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although Megatron is a powerful warrior he typically leaves the fighting to his Predacon lackies, such as [[Sky-Byte]], preferring to stalk around his ship/base the [[Megastar]] and berate his underlings when they inevitably fail.  Upon his conversion to &#039;&#039;&#039;Galvatron&#039;&#039;&#039;, he is a &#039;&#039;lot&#039;&#039; more active and effective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|In &#039;&#039;Car Robots&#039;&#039;, each of Gigatron&#039;s alternate modes not only have their own voice, but their own personality. Hooray for leaders who&#039;re even crazier than Generation 1 Galvatron!}}&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;Japanese name:&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;Gigatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Megatron), &#039;&#039;&#039;Devil Gigatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Galvatron)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===Animated continuity===&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice actor:&#039;&#039; [[Daniel Riordan]] (English), [[Yōichi Kobiyama]] (Japanese)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Megatron]] arrives on Earth in search of [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]].  He abducts [[Doctor Onishi]], an energy expert who has discovered underground energy anomalies that reveal Maximus&#039; initial location.  Onishi is kept unconscious and his brain is scanned by psycho-probes; he proves surprisingly resistant to this technique, and Megatron wastes some time tracking down apparent clues that had really just been strong but meaningless memories in Onishi&#039;s psyche.  For one thing, he REALLY liked vintage trains.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While acquiring and assembling the items necessary in order to locate Fortress Maximus&#039; commanding entity [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]], Megatron comes into contact with the Orb of Sigma, an extremely powerful ancient Autobot relic.  Exposure to the Orb&#039;s energies transforms Megatron into [[Galvatron]].  The changes seem to be more than armor-deep:  Galvatron proclaims Megatron dead and he himself to be an entirely new person.  His new powers include the ability to expand or shrink himself immensely; total immunity to extremes of temperature and pressure; causing volcanic eruptions; paralyzing other Transformers; mentally reprogramming his Decepticon minions; and acting as an energy vampire, in the penultimate episode drawing masses of energy from Fortress Maximus.  He is also revealed to have zillions of tiny cyber-bats inside his body, regurgitating them from his mouth and sending them on missions as far away as the other side of the planet.  The bats act as roving siphons, draining energy from Transformers, machines, and even humans into themselves and then returning to Galvatron, who swallows them and gains their collective stolen power. When attached to a human, the bats overrule all thoughts and turn their victims into Galvatron&#039;s slaves. It makes sense for Galvatron to have such a weapon: the belief in goodness, as practiced by human children, is the single most powerful energy source in the universe and he intends to use it for his own ends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|In the original &#039;&#039;Car Robots&#039;&#039;, he was draining energy from children via his bats; in the dub, this was changed to him merely taking control of them to force the Autobots to back down.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Optimus Prime]] uses the [[Matrix Blade]] to destroy Galvatron&#039;s lance weapon, the resulting explosion (and apparent release of Galvatron&#039;s absorbed energies) is enough to defeat the villain.  He is last seen being exiled to the Asteroid Prison Colony, swearing that he will return to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Ultra, 2001)&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;D-001&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RID_Megatron_toy.jpg|thumb|left|150px|It sorta looks like a bat, right?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; new-mold badguy from the &#039;&#039;Car Robots&#039;&#039; line, Gigatron has six different configurations: robot, jet, bat, two-headed dragon, giant hand (&#039;&#039;awesome&#039;&#039;), and roadster.  His hand mode actually has a spring-loaded &amp;quot;gripping&amp;quot; gimmick (&#039;&#039;oh hell yeah&#039;&#039;).  He comes with a pair of pressure-launch missile launchers that can double as swords, or be combined to form a single naginata-like weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: For the [[Hasbro]] &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; line, Megatron was released using the later &amp;quot;Devil Gigatron&amp;quot; version of the mold, meaning it was capable of transforming into four more forms, though these were never advertised.  The blades of his missiles were also rounded off a bit more to comply with [[for safety reasons|safety standards]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold (the Hasbro version) was also used to make [[BotCon 2005]]&#039;s [[Deathsaurus]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:RIDGalvatron2.jpg|right|thumb|150px|..., six little alt-modes. Seven little, eight little, nine little alt-modes. Ten little modes has he.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Redeco]]ed into a color scheme more traditionally associated with &amp;quot;dead&amp;quot; in Japan, &amp;quot;Devil Gigatron&amp;quot; was also [[retool]]ed to allow four more configurations, making him the Transformer with the most official alt-modes in a single body.  Aside from the original six configurations, he can now also turn into a mammoth, a hydroplane &amp;quot;transport&amp;quot;, a winged griffin, and a one-headed dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This retool was used for all Hasbro-released incarnations of the mold.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron Megabolt&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2002)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RID_MegatronMegabolt_toy.jpg|thumb|left|180px|I&#039;m in the wrong line, aren&#039;t I?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Originally developed for the &#039;&#039;[[Beast Machines]]&#039;&#039; toy line but shelved, it finally saw release as a Kay-Bee [[exclusive]]. Megabolt Megatron transforms into a head (its design based on the [[Grand Mal]]) with scuttling spider-leg action, opening jaw for chip-eating action, and a hidden spring-loaded missile launcher in its mouth. In robot mode, the launcher swings over his head, placing a battle mask down over his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: If one removes the toy&#039;s spider-legs in head mode, it fits into the head socket to the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] main body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make [[Megabolt]], and as the guy it was originally supposed to be in &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Returns]]&#039;&#039; as &amp;quot;[[Megatron (BW)|Megahead Megatron]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

For one thing, he REALLY liked vintage trains.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While acquiring and assembling the items necessary in order to locate Fortress Maximus&#039; commanding entity [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]], Megatron comes into contact with the Orb of Sigma, an extremely powerful ancient Autobot relic.  Exposure to the Orb&#039;s energies transforms Megatron into [[Galvatron]].  The changes seem to be more than armor-deep:  Galvatron proclaims Megatron dead and he himself to be an entirely new person.  His new powers include the ability to expand or shrink himself immensely; total immunity to extremes of temperature and pressure; causing volcanic eruptions; paralyzing other Transformers; mentally reprogramming his Decepticon minions; and acting as an energy vampire, in the penultimate episode drawing masses of energy from Fortress Maximus.  He is also revealed to have zillions of tiny cyber-bats inside his body, regurgitating them from his mouth and sending them on missions as far away as the other side of the planet.  The bats act as roving siphons, draining energy from Transformers, machines, and even humans into themselves and then returning to Galvatron, who swallows them and gains their collective stolen power. When attached to a human, the bats overrule all thoughts and turn their victims into Galvatron&#039;s slaves. It makes sense for Galvatron to have such a weapon: the belief in goodness, as practiced by human children, is the single most powerful energy source in the universe and he intends to use it for his own ends. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{note|In the original &#039;&#039;Car Robots&#039;&#039;, he was draining energy from children via his bats; in the dub, this was changed to him merely taking control of them to force the Autobots to back down.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Optimus Prime]] uses the [[Matrix Blade]] to destroy Galvatron&#039;s lance weapon, the resulting explosion (and apparent release of Galvatron&#039;s absorbed energies) is enough to defeat the villain.  He is last seen being exiled to the Asteroid Prison Colony, swearing that he will return to seek revenge.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Ultra, 2001)&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Japanese ID number&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;&#039;D-001&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:RID_Megatron_toy.jpg|thumb|left|150px|It sorta looks like a bat, right?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: The &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; new-mold badguy from the &#039;&#039;Car Robots&#039;&#039; line, Gigatron has six different configurations: robot, jet, bat, two-headed dragon, giant hand (&#039;&#039;awesome&#039;&#039;), and roadster.  His hand mode actually has a spring-loaded &amp;quot;gripping&amp;quot; gimmick (&#039;&#039;oh hell yeah&#039;&#039;).  He comes with a pair of pressure-launch missile launchers that can double as swords, or be combined to form a single naginata-like weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: For the [[Hasbro]] &#039;&#039;Robots in Disguise&#039;&#039; line, Megatron was released using the later &amp;quot;Devil Gigatron&amp;quot; version of the mold, meaning it was capable of transforming into four more forms, though these were never advertised.  The blades of his missiles were also rounded off a bit more to comply with [[for safety reasons|safety standards]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold (the Hasbro version) was also used to make [[BotCon 2005]]&#039;s [[Deathsaurus]].&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:RIDGalvatron2.jpg|right|thumb|150px|..., six little alt-modes. Seven little, eight little, nine little alt-modes. Ten little modes has he.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: [[Redeco]]ed into a color scheme more traditionally associated with &amp;quot;dead&amp;quot; in Japan, &amp;quot;Devil Gigatron&amp;quot; was also [[retool]]ed to allow four more configurations, making him the Transformer with the most official alt-modes in a single body.  Aside from the original six configurations, he can now also turn into a mammoth, a hydroplane &amp;quot;transport&amp;quot;, a winged griffin, and a one-headed dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This retool was used for all Hasbro-released incarnations of the mold.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Megabolt Megatron&#039;&#039;&#039; (Deluxe, 2002)&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:RID_MegatronMegabolt_toy.jpg|thumb|left|180px|I&#039;m in the wrong line, aren&#039;t I?]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Originally developed for the &#039;&#039;[[Beast Machines]]&#039;&#039; toy line but shelved, it finally saw release as a Kay-Bee [[exclusive]]. Megabolt Megatron transforms into a head (its design based on the [[Grand Mal]]) with scuttling spider-leg action, opening jaw for chip-eating action, and a hidden spring-loaded missile launcher in its mouth. In robot mode, the launcher swings over his head, placing a battle mask down over his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: If one removes the toy&#039;s spider-legs in head mode, it fits into the head socket to the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] main body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: This mold was also used to make [[Megabolt]], and as the guy it was originally supposed to be in &#039;&#039;[[Beast Wars Returns]]&#039;&#039; as &amp;quot;[[Megatron (BW)|Megahead Megatron]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{disambig2|the Beast Wars character|the Beast Wars cartoon episode|Transmutate (Beast Wars episode)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Transmutate is a non-aligned Transformer from the [[Beast Wars]] [[continuity family]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Transmutate.jpg|thumbnail|right|250px|MU-tilate. MU-tant. Hm. I wonder. Oh well.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Transmutate&#039;&#039;&#039; is a mutant Transformer, partially [[Transmetal]], born from a heavily-damaged [[stasis pod]]. The creature possesses very little intelligence and is utterly innocent in personality, curious and childlike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it also contains inconceivable destructive power (i.e. super-sonic screams and somewhat strong force fields) to boot, making it extremely dangerous to keep unsupervised and uncontained. Though it has no alternate form or beast mode, it does have the ability to ffffflllllyyyyy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fiction==&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Voice actor:&#039;&#039; [[Susan Blu]] (US), [[Haruna Ikezawa]] (Japan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both factions considered Transmutate to be too dangerous to recruit. Megatron decided to have it destroyed as without enough intelligence it was useless to him, while Primal felt that it was a danger to itself as well as those around it and suggested putting it into Stasis Lock, presumably until a solution could be found. This caused considerable concern for both [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] and [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]]. Silverbolt felt it was a [[Maximal|Maximal&#039;s]] duty to protect all sentient life, and Rampage simply found a kindred spirit in Transmutate&#039;s tortured existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Transmutate managed to befriend both Transformers, which caused some friction between them. Eventually, they came to blows. Transmutate sacrificed itself in order to prevent the two Transformers from killing each other. {{Storylink|Transmutate (Beast Wars episode)|Transmutate}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Toys==&lt;br /&gt;
===Beast Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
Transmutate was never sold as an individual toy. Rather, it was only available with the first two waves of Beast Wars 10th Anniversary toys in 2006; each of the first six releases had a part to &amp;quot;Trans-Mutate&amp;quot; packaged with it. All six parts combined to form a non-transformable figure with limited articulation... but the simple fact that an official figure of a one-episode show character got &#039;&#039;made&#039;&#039; is itself an extraordinary occurrence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Head - [[Waspinator]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Torso - [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Waist &amp;amp; right leg - [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Left leg - [[Tarantulas]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Right arm - [[Rattrap]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Left arm - [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* A minor point of argument among fans is exactly why the Maximals were so quick to stasis-lock Transmutate instead of transferring its spark to another body like Rhinox did with Optimus Primal following the latter&#039;s unintentional sacrifice. It was stated only that its core consciousness and body structure were mutilated beyond recovery; no mention was made about the condition of its spark. Of course, the euthanasia metaphor of the character&#039;s titular episode would fall apart if they did that, but hey, semantics.&lt;br /&gt;
*In regard to the previous bit of trivia, the script for this episode explicitly states that Transmutate&#039;s spark was unstable: &amp;quot;Energy ERUPTS throughout Its body as Its own unstable spark begins to tear It apart.&amp;quot;  Although stage direction and narration from scripts are only [[pseudocanon]], this may nonetheless satisfy some fans that the spark was indeed as damaged as the body.  The script, like many &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; scripts, can be found on [http://bwtf.com/bw/tvshow/episodes/seasontwo/ BWTF.com].[[Image:Facepic.jpg|right|100px|thumb|A face only the [[Silverbolt (BW)|noble]] or [[Rampage (BW)|psychotic]] could love.]]&lt;br /&gt;
* According to [[Ben Yee]] on [[Madman Entertainment]]&#039;s &#039;&#039;Beast Wars&#039;&#039; Season 2 DVD commentaries, Hasbro attempted to replicate Transmutate&#039;s sonic scream attacks first as a spring-loaded projectile, then as a static decoration. Fortunately for the sake of good taste, they abandoned those plans.&lt;br /&gt;
*Transmutate&#039;s face is friggin&#039; creepy. Look at it. &#039;&#039;Just look at it.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
