there were predacons in g1, they had advantages over the normal bots as they used less energy and had naturally more manovrability ect

:tfhuh Unless you're talking about the combiner group, I'm lost

well i thought they didnt have animal alt modes on cybertron because in beast machines when megatron used the virus on cybertron. the bat bot (nightscream i think?) was shown in his original form that looks like a action master or could transform in 2 a cybertronian car or what not?

 

there was anouther i renember that looked like a red sound wave too

 

i think theres pics on bwtf.com

Inconsistensies between Beast Wars and Beast Machines?!?!? Geeeeez really?!?!    :tflaugh

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There are no inconsistencies between BW and BM kthx :thumb

 

In Beast Machines, Nightscream explains that all Maximals contain built-in DNA scanners for beast modes. Therefore they don't use stasis pods anymore. This is a surprise to Rattrap and the others, who are "out of the loop" b/c they have been gone for a while on account of the Beast Wars. Nightscream's old body was "Cybertronian" because he had no need for a beast mode. But when Megatron unleashed his virus, Nightscream fled underground, where he fell into a pit and went offline. His body's internal DNA scanner created a beast mode for him based on fossils in the cave he fell into -- just like the original beast modes in Beast Wars were created for the Maximals and Predacons. However, he remained unable to transform. He subsisted on organic food (as the Maxis/Preds were able to do in Beast Wars) until he was reformatted by Optimus Primal.

 

Oh BTW to answer the question: the Maximal / Predacon names were just part of Hasbro's reinvention of the TF property. Originally, Primal and Megatron *were* G1 Prime and Megatron.

Not All BW Era Cybertronians can't transform. The BWII Destrons Cybertronian Bodies had Cybertronian Altmodes, while the BWII Cybertrons were Altmodeless

I didn't say that none of them could transform.... only that Nightscream was unable to do so after gaining his beast mode. Hence why he was spying on the Maximals in the first place.

Thats becuse of Megatrons Transformation Virus

however...... Nightscream escaped the virus. That's why they showed him running away from the drones. But maybe he got infected by it after he went offline.

 

yeah, that's it... :tfgrin

Lets look at BW: The Agenda. Ravage says "in the name of the predacons and the Pax Cybertronian alliance". I think it would have been redundant had the alliance only consisted of maximals and predacons. So maybe autobots were around. Decepticons weren't, unless they were turned to predacons like Ravage.

The Pax Cybertronia Alliance also includes Tripredacus Council.

Who are Predacons. About the Autobots, from the Wreckers Comics we know that Rodimus Major, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, Devcon, Roulette, Glyph, Tap-Out, and Rook were around in there Autobot Bodies and actave during the Beast Era. Likewise at least the Decepticons Cyclonis and Shadowstriker Survieved the Great War. Optimus Prime, Grimlock, and Soundwave retiered to a mystical region of Cybertron known as Jw'an
