EPISODE 23: LAW OF THE JUNGLE
Paul: "Three hundred years have passed since the Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons." Umm in the first episode of Transmorons like 65 million passed. Is that how long the Cyber-war lasted?
Me: I guess.
Me: They crashed on Earth in dinosaur times but were unconscious until 1984.
Me: I guess the ones who stayed on Cybertron kept fighting in the meantime.
Paul: For millions of years.
Me: Robots can live forever.
Me: The Great War was officially ended by the forming of the Pax Cybertronia with the Autobots the victors and the Decepticons placed under heavy restrictions. A number of Decepticons were granted amnesty and retired. Many records were restricted and most of the Ark crew are legendary figures, indicating they had died or disappeared by the time of the Beast Wars. A period of uneasy peace followed with the Predacons biding their time in preparation for their chance to challenge the supremacy of the Maximals and start the Great War again, something that Optimus Primal couldn't understand. It was three hundred years after Pax Cybertronia when Primal was drawn into one such challenge.
Paul: Pax Cybertronia YESSSSSSSSSSSSSs
Paul: Yeah but 65 million years is a lot of war.
Paul: Wouldn't they run out of cyberfucks to give?
Me: Look Beast Wars only follows a general G1 continuity, it's not a sequel to the cartoon explicitly, so you can headcanon the back story if you're going to be a NERD.
Paul: Do you think that these immortal robots have perfect memories like the Chee? Are the Decepticons locked in an eternal internal struggle?
Paul: EPISODE 23: LAW OF THE JUNGLE. To demonstrate the LAW OF THE JUNGLE, a CG frog eats a CG dragonfly.
Paul: Then a CG snake eats the CG frog!
Paul: Then a CG birdie eats the CG snake.
Paul: Will the entire episode continue like this?
Me: Guest director Hideako Anno.
Paul: Finally, reading the wiki, we learn that the frog was a hooker.
Paul: Dude Dinobot used his stupid shield to deflect Inferno's laser blasts and get up close.
Paul: That was actually a little bad-ass.
Me: They finally found a use for it.
Paul: IKR??
Paul: Also the Preds randomly attacking made sense for once because then Pterobot shows up and says Hey you didn't wait for the signal.
Paul: Also when people are shot they do funny cartoon rabbit booms and fly into funny cartoons objects.
Paul: Just like in real life!
Paul: Inferno, cackling, turns on his flamethrower.
Paul: jfc this guy
Me: I love Inferno!!!!
Paul: Holy fucking shit.
Paul: That was a twist.
Paul: Um Tigertron killed his tigerbro
Paul: by accident
Paul: and by enjoying shooting things a bit too much
Paul: and builds him a grave.
Me: RIP Snowstalker.
Me: He was a casualty of war.
Paul: Then there's a good part about war!!
Paul: And the destruction of war!
Paul: And like, not doing the war. And then Dinobot says war is good. Yes.
Paul: Then um Inferno was there the entire time apparently. They didn't even finish him off.
Paul: Small wonder our entire country is stupid.
Paul: Man this episode rocks.
Paul: Tigertron's inner struggle is real.
Me: This is just like the time Cassie quit the team after murdering an incapacitated Hork-Bajir.
Paul: Fucking Inferno is insane.
Paul: I can't both like the Maximals + their struggle and at the same time take his cackling twitchy nonsense seriously.
Paul: Like, do you remember the live action Death Note? The part with the murderer who climbed a tree? He is in one shot where he cackles and licks his lips?
Paul: That is Inferno.
Paul: I'm just like Wut every time.
Me: The Japanese one or the Netflix one?
Paul: The best one.
Paul: The Japanese, you fool!
Me: THERE ARE CAMER-UHS
Me: I forget, is there a reason he's crazy?
Me: Maybe he has PTSD from Tigatron blowing up his anthill.
Paul: If an anthill makes you go crazy, you were already a retard.
Paul: #sendinfernotothehague
Paul: Oh okay he's lashing out?
Paul: Oh that's right he really did like that anthill.
Paul: Hmm interesting.
Me: Congratulations this is the last filler episode until season 3, where they had to write a replacement for the episode they had planned because Hasbro said it was too dark.
Me: Assuming you consider Tigatron's character development filler.
Paul: Nah he's cool.
Paul: No I thought this was a good episode.
Paul: I liked the ambiguity of fighting for peace.
Paul: Which has honestly never made any sense.
Paul: I really like that, instead of actually finding an ANSWER to his question, Tigertron's hand (paw?) is forced.
Paul: As so often happens.
Paul: I mean, it's interesting what you say about Inferno being crazy because his reason for being was destroyed. That actually makes a lot of sense.
Paul: I wonder if they'll actually play that up.
Paul: Ah right, I remember his introductory episode now.
Me: YES MY QUEEN
Paul: Idk where these queens are coming from.
Paul: He just says "royalty" a lot.
Me: Ok I remember now.
Me: The reason the Autobots and Decepticons crashed on Earth in the first place was because their planet was depleted of Energon and they were looking for more so they could continue their war.
Me: I guess everyone who stayed on Cybertron just put themselves in power-save mode for 65 million years.
Me: They crashed on Earth in dinosaur times but were unconscious until 1984.
