Megatron was just talking sh*t to Primal because he got his ass PWNED by the Maximals and he wanted to pull a gotcha on them. Which I guess he kind of did... The only Maximals who back up Megatron's statements are Primal (who was blaming himself for something that wasn't really his fault) and Nightscream (who was pissed at the Maximals b/c of what Megatron did to everyone he knew on Cybertron).

besides megs could say anyhting he wanted due to their memory loss at that point. they barely remembered the bw so sure he could say he won.

I'm sure that from Megatron's perspective, he did in fact win the Beast Wars, since his goal was domination of Cybertron.

I thought his goal was to kill optimus Prime in the past so the decepticons would win the great war.

Re topic :  I would gladly take the virus if it made me forget BM. :tflaugh1

fair play bm rocked.

 

the besty bit is where you see them returning to cybertron from the bw from rhinox's eyes and you hear ratrap make some smart comments about bad driving

That was one of his plans... he had lots of them.

 

P.S. I agree Storm -- those flashbacks were killer.

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.

Ditto that.

Actually it was sort of Primal's fault.  If they had not strapped Megs to the shuttle's hull, and instead kept him in the shuttle, he might not would have escaped while they were in Transwarp Space and arrived at Cybertron a long time before the Maximals did.  Since Primal was in charge, the decision to strap Megs to the hull would have ultimately been his to make.

true dat

 

but the Maximals assumed that Megatron had been destroyed when he flew off the ship... I'm guessing that leaving a transwarp field when you're not in a transwarp ship is probably not a fun thing to do. Either way I suppose it was Primal's call... but then would there have been any room in the shuttle for Megs? It might have been more dangerous to keep him inside. Who knows.
