Darksyde (BW)
- The Darksyde is a spaceship in the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Darksyde (sometimes Darkside) is the name of the Predacon vessel that Megatron's troops "borrowed" to get to Earth after he stole the Golden Disk. Terrorsaur named it.
After being shot down by the Axalon, the Predacon ship became the Predacons' base of operations on Earth. Beaten on and heavily damaged several times during the conflict, the vessel was finally destroyed by the Vok emissary Tigerhawk.
A small toy was made of the Darksyde, packaged with Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary Megatron. The toy was called, curiously enough, Predacon ship.
Note: The name of the Predacon ship comes from fandom interpretation of Terrorsaur's line from the Beast Wars episode "Equal Measures," which welcomes Cheetor "to the dark side." The name was used in the Beast Wars Transmetals video game, making the name official, and again years later in the booklet inside Kid Rhino's Beast Wars season 1 DVD set. In the Botcon 2006 exclusive toy box set and accompanying story, "Darksyde" was spelled with a "y" to avoid possible trademark problems.
