    Personally I like how RotB combined both primary backgrounds for the franchise, the 'jungle planet colonists' and 'transwarp explorers', to be it's own take on things for its movie universe instead of trying to completely nostalgia bomb with the original series.
    Having escaped a planet destroyed by Unicron leaves a nice opening for Predacons to show up later.

    Rhinox became my favorite in recent years, he was the first case of a Transformer being openly and innately spiritual, and it was something I just found really interesting. Ironically, one of my favorite Rhinox moments comes to Cheetor as a vision when he powers down to allow Rhinox access to one of his components to fix the pod that is later revealed to belong to Airrazor. The vision version of Rhinox mentions how when sparks come online, there is great joy in the universe and how when a spark is extinguished, the universe weeps. Rhinox was openly spiritual but in a way that felt less preachy and more open to everyone around him; he was the most brilliant of the Maximals, and while he wasn't a spiritual leader, he also did make some very spiritual comments and explanations. When we hear Optimus reading from the Covenant of Primus, it's Rhinox who explains what Optimus is reading and even states where he is reading from in Covenant.
    We actually see Megatron quoting the Covenant of Primus in the final episodes of Beast Wars, and Optimus even points out that Megatron didn't finish the quote when Megatron quotes a particularly bleak verse at Optimus during their fight.
    Maybe a future episode can cover spirituality in the Transformers continuity and how it has been represented, along with notable spiritual bots in the franchise.

      I am not naturally a very spiritual person, believing more in logic and science, so having Rhinox be not only the brains AND muscle of the Maximals, but also their spiritual anchor, I think affected how I see the universe.. And being a Transformers fan since forever, I tend to think of The Allspark as a little like Final Fantasy's Lifestream.. the source of everything to which everything returns. And since science itself has proven nothing can be destroyed, only TRANSFORMED, its state altered, there's definitely something in that!

      Back in the day I used to write my own fanfiction version of Beast Wars with many of the toy only figures added in. I had a whole extra episode planed out where his stasis pod crashes in the ocean during the tail end of season 1.
      Unfortunately, being aquatic bound, I never found much use for him outside of specific spotlight plots, so I just had him off-lined for all of season 2 after getting caught outside during the Vok death ray.
      His TM2 form gave me a chance to reintroduce him in in season 3 and tying him into a more indepth plot on the origins of the Transmetal Driver that otherwise just showed up out of nowhere in the show. Also, with Depthcharge around now as well as beast modes no longer being necessary to prevent Energon overload, I was able to write TM2 Cybershark into more epodes than his original form.

      The Maximals having robot modes comes across as such an afterthought in the movie. They only transform briefly at the start of the final battle, but before that battle is even over, all of them are back in beast mode. Makes me think they were originally gonna be beast mode only for the whole movies, and having them capable of transformation at all was only added fairly late into production after most of the climax had already been rendered.

      The in story reason for the Beast Wars/G1 universe is that after the Great War, Maximals and Predacons alike underwent a downsizing to smaller, more fuel efficient forms that also allowed them to more easily interact with other, smaller species across the universe. Chris mentions it in the video.

      ​@@orinanime I didn't really see him as a hulk smash character as he didn't talk in the movie and I do think Unicron coming through the portal is good enough reason to fight, here he talks in the next movie

    When Primal ordered his crew to "Maximize!" in the film, I was bouncing in my seat. If they had slipped in a bit of the Beast Wars theme music I would have lost it.

    Rhinox is my favorite, I grew up watching Beast Wars as a child. For a guy who would mediate and enjoy nature, he sure packed a lot of fire power with his two rotor guns. Plus, the episode where he turned evil and almost took over the Predicons. I wish he and the other maximals had more to do in the movie. However seeing Rhinox use that hammer of his was just prime.

    Awesome video and I did see TF Rise of the Beasts the other day and it was truly awesome and I still feel nostalgic about Beast Wars both the series and original toys and my favourite Maximals has always been Dinobot and still remember how hard it was to get his toy as a kid but those were wonderful times.

    Hi Chris Great video about the Transformers: The BASICS on The Maximals, Keep them coming,Also my favorite versions of The Maximals were The CGI Animated American Cartoon Versions of the Maximals, The Cartoon Animated versions of The Maximals were my favorite Transformers Beast Wars Hero Team, but also my favorite Transformers Faction/Organization/ Hero Team of all time, Also it was such a joy to see the Big Bot and Boss Monkey on the big screen. Awesome Video as always.Also my favorite Maximal was The Big Bot Optimus Primal himself the following information is from the following Comic Books they are:1.Transformers:Beast Wars Sourcebook(limited mini-series)#2(of)3(2007),2.Transforners:Beast Wars Sourcebook Trade PaperBack(2008), and 3.Transforners:Beast Wars Omnibus Trade PaperBack(2009): Optimus Primal, Allegiance:(as of 2023): Maximal,Primary Function:(as of 2023): Maximal Commander,Beast Mode:(as of 2023):Ape(formerly)Bat,Weapons & Abilities:(as of 2023): Amazing Strength and remarkable dexterity, Primary weapons dual barrled Blasters,two missile launchers,twin collapsible swords and a spiked ball on the end,He is also well trained in military tactics and close quarter combat techniques,2.Transmetal Form Beast Mode(as of 2023):Ape,Weapons & Abilities(as of 2023):1.Handgun,2.Machine Gun,Twin Cannons,Melee Weapons:Twin Mace weapons,made of a special alloy,Flight mode consisting of his beast form on a hoverboard,3.Optimal Optimus Form,1.Ground Mode(as of 2023):Quad-Former, Optimus had the ability to transform into a robot, gorilla,armored-ground assualt vehicle, and Hypersonic Jet,Jet Mode(as of 2023):Hypersonic Jet,In robot mode Optimus physical strength is unmatched by any of the Maximals.

    The more time that passes, the more I fear that Silverbolt will never see another Beast Mode incarnation. His status as a Fuzor (an of its time concept), and having a reused name from a member of a famous G1 Combiner team, means that Hasbro may not see a need to bring him back.

  • @Gigas0101
    @Gigas0101 Před rokem +2

    Favourite Maximal... I was going to say Rhinox, as I'm a sucker for humble, soft-spoken prodigies, but it's gotta be Silverbolt. Transmutate STILL hurts so good, and Silverbolt's nobility to the point of silliness manages to be endearing without ever crossing over into annoying for me. His superhero music sting was practically perfect.

    great video, I loved it. now both of the factions within the beast era series have videos of their own. I would also love to see a basics video on the 4th maximal character from the film, the female maximal peregrine falcon Airazor. While on the topic of flying good guys in Transformers, I think that Powerglide would also serve as a good topic for a basics video in future.

  • @Zekhar

    I would have loved for Tigatron to have appeared on the film. They could have even used him on the first scene as a sacrifice for the others to escape and later or in a sequel to comeback already fused with Airazor.
    It was a missed opportunity imo 😢

    The beast wars were my true introduction to the transformers series despite the fact that I was born during the end of Generation 1 and into Generation 2. However, given how they are used in the Rise of the Beasts kind of makes me feel sad that we did not get to see Rhinox and Cheetor make an impact in the film. Especially, given how they were used in the original animated Beast Wars series.
