	===Logic circuits===		===Logic circuits===
	Logic circuits are a component of Transformer anatomy that is charged with intelligence and reasoning out confusing situations. In the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)\|''Beast Wars'' series]], these circuits were especially important due to the increased reliance on [[beast mode]]s. With the acquisition of beast modes, there came instances of the beast modes' instincts influencing the logic circuits. When [[Inferno (BW)\|Inferno]] came online, his beast mode convinced him that he was a real fire ant and that his [[stasis pod]] was his colony. {{storylink\|Spider's Game}} Later, the [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacons]] stole the shielding system of the ''[[Axalon (BW)\|Axalon]]'', forcing the [[Maximal]]s to remain in beast mode to avoid [[Energon]] buildup, all while under bombardment and suffering from sleep deprivation. Eventually, their beast modes came to override their logic circuits. Only with [[Tigatron]]'s help did they overcome their baser instincts. {{storylink\|Call of the Wild}}		Logic circuits are a component of Transformer anatomy that is charged with intelligence and reasoning out confusing situations.
