Talk:Call of the Wild

Possible Problem: Dinobot's originally a Pred, but why does he suffer from the same thing as the rest of the Maximals. He doesn't use Maximal programming. --71.121.142.173 05:40, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

It's not a type of programming that's exclusive to Maximals. He suffers because he has to remain in beast mode, the same as the rest of them. The Predacons are spared this because they can shift freely between the two in their ship, while the Maximals are denied this luxury.--Rosicrucian^Talk 06:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Megatron speaks of his research on Maximal programming. Tigatron mentions how Maximal programming contains a block against beast-mode instincts. All of the dialouge in the episode indicates that the situation is a result of Maximal programming. --KilMichaelMcC 10:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

While it's in no way even slightly official Dinobot never really did seem to get used to his beast mode, he usually only used it for travel and energon protection. HE and Megatron had some of the strongest beast modes at the outset of the Beast Wars and Megatron made it clear but Dinobot always prefered to fight as a warrior than as a beast. This is fan evidence for what the episode implies, Dinobot also has a block in his programming. ....ooooooor its a continuity glitch because they didn't want to have to deal with Dinobot randomly being ok.

Forget "fan explanations". This is definitely a continuity error, a rather famous one that has been discussed in fan forums and also guidebooks like Cybertronian. It should definitely get at least a "Trivia" notation, or probably the creation of an actual "continuity error" section on the page. --Thylacine 2000 15:29, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Who Tarzan? Me confused.

"After Megatron sees the explosions and says uh-oh, when Optimus Primal comes swinging in on the vines, he does the famous Tarzan yell (or tries to, anyway)." The sentence structure here would mean that Megatron is the one doing the Tarzan yell while the scene structure would indicate that Optimus is the one yelling. --Khajidha 12:55, 29 August 2013 (EDT)
