: Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Battle Master]]s, Pteraxadon transforms from robotic ''{{w|Pteranodon}}'' to a "Binary Edgewing Scythe". The weapon mode can be held by or mounted on other figures via [[5 mm post]]s. Though not shown in the [[instructions]], an extra post on the body of the weapon (attached to his head) allows this mode to be held like a blaster, with the handle forming the barrel; the tip of the handle/barrel has a small peg for attaching blast effects. By folding the handle up, the peg can also be used to mount him to the forearm of a compatible figure as a shield.

: Pteraxadon includes an effect piece to simulate his axe mode impacting another object that clips onto the blade-edge. It can also be mounted on the small blast-effect pegs of figures by the hole in the "impactee" side of the effect.

: Pteraxadon was redecoed into [[Terror-Daxtyl#Toys|Terror-Daxtyl]], ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Enerax#Toys|Enerax]], ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' [[Sights (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Sights]], and ''[[Transformers:_Shattered_Glass_(toyline)#Generations|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Fireglide#Toys|Fireglide]].

:Private Pteraxadon, Air Command-Artillery is one of forty-eight double-sided character cards available in Wave 3 of the [[Transformers Trading Card Game]], War for Cybertron: Siege I. As a [[Battle Master]], Private Pteraxadon, Air Command-Artillery begins the game in Bot Mode. Instead of being sent to the KO Area once his Health drops to zero, the card is flipped to the Upgrade side, becoming the Binary Edgewing Scythe, and equipped in the Weapons slot of another character on the player's side of the battlefield. In order to represent Pteraxadon's size as a Battle Master, the card is the size of a battle card, about half the size of a normal character card.

:The artwork for Bot Mode is reused from the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Pteraxadon toy's packaging art. The Binary Edgewing Scythe received original artwork, with line-art by [[Dan Khanna]] and colors by [[Caravan]].

: Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Battle Master]]s, Pteraxadon transforms from robotic ''{{w|Pteranodon}}'' to a "Binary Edgewing Scythe". The weapon mode can be held by or mounted on other figures via [[5 mm post]]s. Though not shown in the [[instructions]], an extra post on the body of the weapon (attached to his head) allows this mode to be held like a blaster, with the handle forming the barrel; the tip of the handle/barrel has a small peg for attaching blast effects. By folding the handle up, the peg can also be used to mount him to the forearm of a compatible figure as a shield.

: Pteraxadon includes an effect piece to simulate his axe mode impacting another object that clips onto the blade-edge. It can also be mounted on the small blast-effect pegs of figures by the hole in the "impactee" side of the effect.

'''After the destruction of the alien machine and the death of Optimus, the remaining Maximals are left to pick up the pieces and fend off the Predacons... with some strange new upgrades.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:Aftermath Megatron quantum surge.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|That's odd, I don't remember ordering a glow-in-the-dark redeco]]
At their respective bases, both the [[Maximal]]s and the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s react to [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]]'s death. The Maximals are in a state of shock, whereas the Predacons laugh, jeer and generally have a good time. However, these moods are short-lived. The destruction of the [[Planet Buster]] causes a [[quantum surge]] which very soon hits [[Earth|the planet]]. In the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'', [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] and [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] are affected by it in the control room, as is the unconscious body of [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] down below. The surge also severely rocks the [[Darksyde (BW)|Predacon ship]], causing [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] to fall into the CR pool while [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]], [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] and [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] catch the surge's full effect. Megatron is thrown onto the floor of the base, while Scorponok and Terrorsaur lose control of their hover platforms and collide into each other. The collision causes both of them to fall into the lava pit, where they are terminated. After the surge, Waspinator emerges from the CR pool, joyous to have survived. He sees Megatron in the shadows, having been upgraded by the surge into a new [[Transmetal]] body.

[[File:Aftermath Rattrap Cheetor.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Look at my hands! Oh, sorry, Cheetor.]]
In the Maximal base, both Rattrap and Cheetor are startled at each other's new appearance until each realizes the same has happened to himself. [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] suggests they both try out their new [[beast mode]]s which they discover that they have a rat on wheels, and [[Flight|Flight]] for Cheetor, they give them a test, only to crash, [[Tigatron]] and Airazor go off on the hunt for the spiders who are partly responsible for Optimus Primal's death.

Under Tarantulas's control, [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] begins to leave the ''Axalon'' while he insists she bring his body along. Unbeknownst to them, the eyes of [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]]'s severed head glow back online...

[[File:Aftermath Rhinox Dinobot.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Who needs a Maximal Torture Chamber with him on your team?]]
Back upstairs, [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] and [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] come back online. Rhinox orders Rattrap to tell him everything. Dinobot then announces that he should be leader, but after a stern throttling by Rhinox, he backs down.

Blackarachnia and Tarantulas escape the base only to be intercepted by Tigatron and Airazor, with the latter punching Blackarachnia for a second time. However, help for the she-spider is on its way. Megatron is never above kicking somebody while they're down, so he brings a full Predacon assault (in the form of Waspinator) to join the Tarantulas-possessed Blackarachnia in an assault on the ''Axalon''. Airazor and Tigatron are blasted offline by Megatron. The alert sounds inside the ''Axalon'', so Rhinox sends the two new Transmetals outside while he and Dinobot try to set up the [[Sentinel (BW)|defenses]]. However, Inferno emerges into the room and immediately blasts Rhinox backwards using a missile, which prompts Dinobot into a physical brawl with the Predacon.

[[File:Aftermath Megatron beast.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|First it was Tyrannosaurs in F-14s...now it's ''Tyrannosaurs with Turbines!'']]
Outside, Tarantulas forces Blackarachnia to retreat against her and Megatron's wishes. Waspinator battles Cheetor, much surprised that the "cat-bot" can fly. After a bit of a beating, Waspinator retreats. Following some more shooting, Megatron transforms into vehicle mode and charges at Rattrap, who transforms into beast mode and uses his tail to trip the Predacon. Megatron is not out of the fight yet, however, and he blasts Cheetor off the cliff. Cheetor transforms to flight mode to escape, but crashes into Rattrap. Megatron prepares to end the new bots.

Inferno and Dinobot are still locked in combat when Rhinox grabs Inferno and throws him out of the base lift. He then challenges Megatron with one of the Chainguns of Doom. Megatron realizes with only a broken Inferno in his army that he is no match for Maximals, so he calls a retreat.

Elsewhere, under one of the Planet Buster-generated storms, [[Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)|two stasis pods]] are shown lying in a barren area, their DNA scanners malfunctioning.

==Notes==
===Script timeline===
* First draft: 9th June 1997
* Second draft: 19th June 1997
* Finalised: 24th June 1997
* As Air: 16th October 1997

===Animation and technical errors===
*Waspinator's gun is whipped out of his hand by Cheetor, but moments later, he transforms fully, ''including'' his gun forming his [[beast mode]]'s abdomen.
*Rattrap is seen dropping his shield (which acts as a hubcap for his wheels in beast mode) before Cheetor crashes into him, but, upon impact, both hubcaps are seen on his back.
*When the Predacons are celebrating Optimus Primal's demise, the reflection mapping on metallic surfaces on all of the Predacons is missing, leaving only the flat material colours. The reflections are back in the following shot.

===Continuity errors===

===Continuity notes===
*The planet survived the Vok attack, but it's clear that the ecosystem didn't make it out unscathed. Notably, the jungle that separated the ''Axalon'' from the ''Darksyde'' appears to have been burnt away, with only a few stumps remaining.
*There are methods to the madness that is Transmetallization. All of the original ten Transformers who did not emerge from stasis pods on Earth would have become Transmetals, but several of them were protected from the quantum surge in a [[CR chamber]]. For reasons that have never been explained, Transformers born on Earth were immune to the quantum surge.
*While both ships survived the Planet Buster's attack, the Quantum Surge severely damaged their structures. The ''Darksyde'' is now more gray than green and the rear section of the fuselage has collapsed and bent. The ''Axalon'''s surfaces now look very deteriorated and the ship is bent/fractured at about the halfway point of the forward fuselage.
*Gadgets and powers:
** As the debut of the Transmetals, the episode spends a good chunk of its time showcasing all their new features, particularly their "vehicle" modes.
** Rattrap's beast mode thighs can detach in robot mode and be used as shields.

===Real-world references===
[[File:BW Scorponok Terrorsaur deaths.jpg|thumb|200px|Will Scorponok return? Of course he won't.]]
* Terrorsaur's death scene resembles that of the [[Transformers vs. The Terminator|Terminator]] in ''[[w:Terminator 2: Judgment Day|Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]''.

===Trivia===
*A new title sequence debuted this episode for the new season. It effectively summarized the events of "[[Other Voices, Part 2|Other Voices]]" and "Aftermath", which was a bit odd since major story points like the quantum surge appeared in the credits before they actually got shown in the episode itself. Although the credits "spoil" the debut of the Fuzors and most of the Transmetals, Optimus Primal's Transmetal form is not shown, presumably in an effort to keep his return in the third episode a surprise.
*As they plunge into the lava, Terrorsaur and Scorponok are glowing with the same Transmetallization energy; this was written in as an "out" in case the writers needed to bring them back.
**They would come back in [[IDW Publishing|one continuity]], about 10 years after the fact.
*Waspinator was originally intended to die in this episode instead of Terrorsaur, but due to fan popularity and the fact the writers needed a character for comic relief, he was granted amnesty. This is somewhat reflected in Waspinator's line as he emerges from the CR chamber: ''"Waspinator is...'''alive'''! Hee hee!"''
*The recap of the last episode actually shows Optimus approaching the center of the moon before the explosion, a scene cut from the first-season finale.
* Inferno can survive getting shot point blank in the head. Awesome!
* The characters who have received Transmetal forms also receive some anatomical changes with them, with the exception of Rattrap.
**Megatron no longer features a T-rex head for a right arm, gaining a normal right hand instead, as well as both hands having five fingers as opposed to four. His tail weapon is still a handheld weapon, but now typically held in his right hand rather than his left.
**Tarantulas' arms no longer have pincers, instead having three-fingered hands.
**Cheetor no longer has normal hands, instead now having a claw-like single finger and thumb mounted within the separated halves of his cheetah head over his forearms.

Release of this series was delayed, with the original cartoons ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars II]]'' and ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (cartoon)|Beast Wars Neo]]'' filling the broadcast gap between ''Beast Wars'' and ''Beast Wars Metals''.
::*The episode "[[Bad Spark]]" actually premiered in Japan nearly a year before this proper "first" episode, as part of the theatrical film ''[[Beast Wars Special Super Lifeform Transformers]]'', released in December of 1998. To keep viewers up to date, the "Bad Spark" segment of the film was preceded by numerous clips from this episode.
::*Just for the record, the adlibbing in the ''Beast Wars Metals'' series is exponentially increased from the (already excessive) adlibbing in the ''Beast Wars'' series. Additionally, the self-referential, goofy and relentless sense of humor is ratcheted up, making the Japanese dub of ''Metals'' almost a satire of itself.
::*When [[Predacon computer|NAVIko]] alerts Megatron to the incoming quantum surge near the start of the episode, she flusters and mixes up her words. Her alert at first is the declaration '''"Hentai!"''' She then corrects herself and shouts '''"Taihen!"''' ("Oh no!"). You probably all know what "hentai" popularly means, but the word can also be used to mean "transformation" or "change." Get your minds out of the gutters.
::*As Terrorsaur sinks to his doom in the lava, he shrieks out some last words: "What is this!?" Scorponok, meanwhile, just repeats his verbal tic over and over before groaning: "Orya Orya Orya!"
::*Rattrap's and Cheetor's conversation about their new appearances is less a "conversation" and more just the two of them saying "Pikapika!" ("Glittery!") over and over again. The incessant use of the phrase is dated, but a reference to the massive [[Pokeformers|Pokémon]] craze sweeping Japan (particularly in the ''way'' they say "Pikapika", devolving into Pikachu impressions as they repeat it).
::*Whenever a Transmetal (or just "Metal", in this dub) transforms to their third-mode, they now announce it as "Vehicle Mode!"
::*When Tarantulas forces Blackarachnia to disobey Megatron's orders and desert the battle, as she webslings away with Tarantulas's inert body, Blackarachnia screams a mocking, "See ya later!" to Megatron. This runs completely counter to the ''intent'' of the scene, as Blackarachnia had just gone on about how she didn't want to risk disobeying and infuriating Megatron again so soon after her most recent betrayal. Another fine example of [[Yoshikazu Iwanami]]'s excessive adlibbing style.
::*When Megatron first transforms into Transmetal ''T. rex'' mode, he squeals in a high-pitched voice, "''So cooooooool!''"
::*As Megatron retreats and carts off Inferno, he howls in a silly voice, "So long!"
::*And on the subject of silly voices, when Dinobot finally exits the Axalon after the battle, he dramatically announces "Here's Dinobot! ...Huh?" in a really goofy voice (and, obviously, this would seem quite counter to his established personality).

Amica Endura

2020-08-02T14:43:04Z

BowtieProductions: /* Notes */

[[Image:Amica Endura ceremony.jpg|thumb|right|250px|You have to open your heart to others because Transformers hate metaphors.]]

On both [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], an '''Amica Endura''' is a [[Transformer]]'s long-term best friend. For a species that can live for millions of years, ''that'' sort of lasting friendship is a big deal. On both worlds it involves a formal ritual, baring your spark and inviting someone to "receive my light" before explaining why you value them.

A related-but-distinct concept is the [[Conjunx Endura]], the equivalent of a spouse.

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
While a Camien Amica can become a Conjunx, on Cybertron you have to rule out being someone's Conjunx before "opting" for Amica. Cybertronians are sick, man. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 3: Your Fierce Tears|Your Fierce Tears}}

[[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] questioned [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]] if she had a Conjunx Endura, any Amica Endurae, or if her homeworld of Caminus practiced any sort of elective kinship. The answers were "no", "yes", and "yes". {{storylink|slaughterhouse}} It turned out on Caminus, you ''had'' to get an Amica by ten megacycles or you were generally shunned by society (though not killed, as Skids feared for a moment). Nautica and [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] formed an Amica couple out of mutual desperation, though their relationship was strained. {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}} Thankfully, it got a bit better. {{storylink|The Frail Gaze}}

On Caminus, the Oath of Constancy is said to form an Amica Endura. {{storylink|The Frail Gaze}}

It is possible to split up with an Amica Endura on Caminus, known as "Platonic Severance", but, as Nautica explains, Rejecting an Amica, even one taken out of desperation, represented failure, failing to do enough to (presumably, as Nautica is cut off before finishing) make the relationship work. [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] later suggests that her and Nautica end their friendship, but Nautica refuses. {{storylink|The Frail Gaze}}

[[Aileron]], another Camien, was about to describe [[Sterling]] as her Amica Endura to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] when she stopped herself and went with the Cybertronian equivalent, "best friend", instead. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 1: Aphelion|Aphelion}}

When facing certain death, Nautica decided to open her heart and admit how she felt to her closest friends. Gathering [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]], [[Skids (G1)|Skids]], [[Rung (G1)|Rung]], [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]], and Nightbeat together, she opened her spark casing and recited the words, as everyone joined hands and accepted. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 4: At Close of Day|At Close of Day}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
[[Stealth Saber]] and [[Victory Bomber]] were Amica Endurae. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Spacewarp's Log (1), 2015/10/27}}

==Notes==
*Nautica remarked ''most'' people would sidle up to those questions, making it rather gauche to ask outright.
*"[[slaughterhouse]]" did not explicitly say what an Amica Endura was, leaving it up for us to work out, but it was confirmed later by James Roberts.<ref>https://twitter.com/jroberts332/status/504551830937165824 James Roberts on Amica Endura</ref> Later, in "The Sensuous Frame", Firestar defined the term as "best friend".
*The concept bears some similarity to the human tradition of {{w|Blood brother|ceremonial blood siblings}}.
*It can also be compared to the concept of a Queerplatonic Relationship, a term used in Aromantic and Asexual communities to define a relationship that is not romantic in nature, but closer and more intimate than a traditional friendship.

[[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] questioned [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]] if she had a Conjunx Endura, any Amica Endurae, or if her homeworld of Caminus practiced any sort of elective kinship. The answers were "no", "yes", and "yes". {{storylink|slaughterhouse}} It turned out on Caminus, you ''had'' to get an Amica by ten megacycles or you were generally shunned by society (though not killed, as Skids feared for a moment).

It is possible to split up with an Amica Endura on Caminus, known as "Platonic Severance", but, as Nautica explains, Rejecting an Amica, even one taken out of desperation, represented failure, failing to do enough to (presumably, as Nautica is cut off before finishing) make the relationship work. [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] later suggests that her and Nautica end their friendship, but Nautica refuses. {{storylink|The Frail Gaze}}

[[Aileron]], another Camien, was about to describe [[Sterling]] as her Amica Endura to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] when she stopped herself and went with the Cybertronian equivalent, "best friend", instead. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 1: Aphelion|Aphelion}}
