Editing 03.06.05

Added the intro song info, as well as trying to make the intro more fact heavy, adding a section about the controversy over the ending/storytelling just before the entry on Transtech.

Apparently this IP has a hard on for bashing on Skir's involvment on Beast Machines. I suggest that we keep an eye out for any more changes posted by this IP as they are completely biased.

Organic Cybertron

It says in the Controversy part of the article that Cybertron was originally a purely cybernetic planet. Yet I remember in one episode (Desertion of the Dinobots'' I think) that Cybertron had an organic core that could be mined. Am I imagining things or is this true?SMegatron 19:57, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think I know what you are referring to. I'm not sure about the organic part, but I remember that the Quintessons hid some sort of technorganic creatures below surface.

However, don't forget that the original (US) animated series is a continuity of its own, mostly different from the comic universe. There was no Primus in the cartoon for example. (Though I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro decides to retcon Primacron to be Primus in an ape costume...--Cyberman TM (talk) 22:02, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember that, but I did recently rewatch the Beast Machines pilot and I never noticed before the series starts with a Tank Drone running over a small flower growing out of a crack on a street on Cybertron. Hardly a non-organic place from ep one of Beast Machines. user:mathewignash

DVD set

shouldnt the DVD boxset be mentioned?

-- Yes, someone should bring up the fact that it's out on DVD now, before they miss their chance like I did.

Dragon Megatron

Wasn't Megatron a dragon rather than "more of a mind than a body for the first season" ?

Yup, it's the second season that he was more of a mind than a body. --148.61.207.67 04:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Order for listing Maximals and Predacons

I was iin favor of the leaders first, and then the rest in ALPHABETICAL order, since this is an encyclopedia, and the order should reflect a way to make it easy for someone to find the data. Not in order of rank or in order of first to transform. user:mathewignash

I'm in favor of listing the four original Maximals in order of rank, then alphabetically which also puts them in neat order of transformation. --The Matrix Prime 17:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NIN Reference?

One episode has the title "The Downward Spiral", and although it is a cartoon, I wouldn't be too quick to rule out it as a reference to the Nine Inch Nails album of the same name. Any takers?
