Talk:Predacons Rising (Animated)

Size is hardly a factor, is it? I mean, the Maximals were supposed to be sorta normalish animal size, so these animals being huge is hardly an indicator it's them, is it - McFeely's edit summary

Very few of the BW characters (even if we only count the pre-Transmetal forms) were normal animal size - Cheetor was, but Rattrap was HUGE for a rat, the arachnids & insects were even more out of scale, while Megatron was tiny by comparison to a T-Rex, and lots of the characters were more subtly missized. - SanityOrMadness 22:41, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

Those animals are NOT that respective size to each other in real life. That's a huge-ass cheetah or that's a small-ass rhino. And let's not forget how friggin' big that rat is. There's no way around the size of that rat. (Apparently the "prehistoric earth-like planet" description holds for the final script too, I've learned.) --ItsWalky 22:48, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

If you compare their size to Blackarachnia in the wide-shot they are all ginormous. Beast warriors are supposed to be human size. That cheetah is bigger than a Transformer. - Starfield 22:57, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

Maybe you should tell Japan that! --ItsWalky 22:58, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, I was purely speaking in reference to their size respective to Blackarachnia, rather than each other. Didn't phrase it right. - Chris McFeely 06:45, 12 April 2009 (EDT)

"African" plantlife

So, any botanists or paleobotanists want to have a go at these? Script calls it an "alien-looking landscape," so if there's nothing like these in Earth's past or present, I think we can say for sure this ain't just Africa. --ItsWalky 23:10, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

I think we are supposed to think they were transported to the Beast Wars. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me." Implies she has some personal knowledge of those four... which she shouldn't really have. *cue Twilight Zone theme* A bigger question is, what about the Dinobots? They've gotten blown up twice now! - Starfield 23:41, 11 April 2009 (EDT)

While we can certainly note what the script says, I don't think the images show anything except a cartoony forest. I presumed it to be Africa because there are African animals hangin' out together, but if that isn't proven of course we can gank that out too. It could just as well be a huge game preserve, mebbe. --Thylacine 2000 12:07, 12 April 2009 (EDT)

spin-off series?

They're simplified tree ferns. - SanityOrMadness 22:56, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

Show me a picture. More specifically, show me a picture of a tree fern that looks remotely like the snake-rooted potato sacks these things are. I've done image searches, and I ain't seein' it. --ItsWalky 23:02, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

Time Travel

The Transformers References section uses the script's referring to the planet as "a primitive earth-like planet" as "proof" of timetravel. However, if it's indicated to be a different planet, shouldn't that be closer to proof it's not timetravel? --86.87.28.191 11:55, 12 April 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, I kind don't get this line: Interestingly, the script calls this setting a "primitive Earth-like planet," which seems to indicate that Blackarachnia actually transwarped herself into the friggin' Beast Wars. I don't understand what it is about the cited script language that suggests "she is in the actual Beast Wars" rather than "she is on an alien planet which homages Beast Wars," and I certainly don't see why that would indicate any time travel at all. --KilMichaelMcC 16:36, 12 April 2009 (EDT)

Air Date

I really wish the Air Date was accurate. Though it appears that it IS, just not for me =( Sometimes I hate being in Canada. At any rate, think its worthy of the trivia section? (signed someone that hasn't had time to get an account due to Easter)

IT'S TOO LATE FOR APOLOGIES

Was that an actual intentional shoutout? Because if so, that's goddamned brilliant. I mean, I noticed it, but if it's actually a thing, that's fantastic. Hooper_X 22:13, 12 April 2009 (EDT)

Helmet.

"Since Along Came a Spider, there's been a theory that Blackarachnia's helmet was a literal, removable helmet."
Wait... that was a theory? I thought we knew that. The helmet was shown on the floor. - Starfield 18:07, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, they didn't actually show her pick it up or state in dialogue that she was wearing it, but it was pretty dang implicit. - Chris McFeely 18:18, 13 April 2009 (EDT)

Reference ?

The line "Get away from me, you filthy organic !" is similar to the infamous line from Planet of the Apes.--213.49.87.215 09:50, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

The famous line from Apes is "Get your stinkin' paws off me, you damn dirty ape!". If they were really going for a reference there, they'd have made the line a LOT more like that. --M Sipher 14:26, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
