They remembered who they were, where they were, and the beast wars.

 

 

but they all forgot Rhinox and Silverbolt until BA logged into the shuttle's memory?

They didnt remember the Beast Wars at first. Megatron told Primal that the Maximals that they lost the BW and Primal belivied him.

 

BA had a flashback about Silverbolt later on in the series. Rattrap was the one that logged in the shuttle computer and found out that Tankor was Rhinox.

no, BA logged into their shuttle.  Rattrap logged into Tankor.

 

and they had to've remembered some of the beast wars, because they knew each other and that they had a shuttle.

The virus only affected their short term memory, not their long term.

 

And Megs didnt lie about who won the beast wars. Being that he escaped and took over cybertron, Id say pretty much he had won them as well.

The virus affected their Transmetal bodies too rite? or was it sumtin else?

Megatron's drones threw a de-evolution container on them- that's what sent them from their Transmetal bodies back into their original beast modes.  It wasn't the virus, that was a separate thing.

I thought the virus also deevolutionized them.

they do have these things called spoiler tags... oh well

The transformation freezing virus had the (unintended?) side effect of devolving the Maximals (in other words, removing all Vok influence from their bodies). There wasn't a separate virus for that (which is why the Maximals revert to beast mode when they're hit with it). Rhinox was in robot mode when he was captured by the tank drones, but I just view that as artistic license since it would have been a bit funny to see a rhino head reflected in the tank drone's visor.

 

To answer the question, the Maximals don't remember anything that we don't see between the end of BW and the start of BM. So they remember flying off home, but the next thing they know they're running around on Cybertron in beast mode, being chased by the tank drones.

 

I love the way BM begins... that whole "what the hell is going on" thing is really cool IMO.

he did win... in the endof bw. like the last friggin second of the bw. and the way it happened id just say the maximals won. i mean common. the bw were officially over when they left the planet. id say they won. megs is just an ass.

It kinda depends on what you think the beast wars were fought for.  Megs didn't alter the timeline and the decepticons were still beaten by the autobots, so he kinda lost.
