Namely, the file had become so large and unmanageable that adding a bunch of entries was not feasable. Like it or not, Beast Wars is now part of the Transformers history, and some sort of net-documentation should exist -- even if it has been well over a year since I last pondered doing anything resembling an update. *** Reading the spec list... -- It's pretty straight forward but in case you get confused this should spell things out for you. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Megatron {T-Rex} Function: Predacon Commander Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 10 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 Millions of years ago, Tyrannosaurus Rex ruled the earth.

Secret Weapon Locations: Hip launched missiles / Pincher in tail ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- The dashed lines are separators and nothing more. The the name of the transformer followed by an optional curly braces. This is a basic description of which version of this toy it is. For example Megatron comes in two different forms: Alligator and Tyrannosaurus Rex. Next is the function; What their job is. And what subgroup/allegiance the toy is. The third and fourth lines are used together. the first one is abbreviations (where needed) of a Transformer's attributes, and a numerical rating of each one from 1 to 10. Below is the rough translation of each one: Stren. = Strength (Physical Strength) Intel. = Intelligence (How smart they are) Speed = Speed (How fast they are in beast/robot mode) Endur. = Endurance (physical durability) Rank = Rank (Rank on the command chain) Cour. = Courage (Guts) Firep. = Firepower (How big is their gun) Skill = Skill (How well they perform their function) The remaining lines describe the Transformer's personality, weaponry, weaknesses, etc.. * Legal stuff: * "The Transformers", "Beast Wars", "Beast Machines", "Machine Wars", "Autobots", "Decepticons", "Maximals", "Predacons", "Vehicons", and all codenames and subgroups listed are copyrighted by Hasbro and/or Kenner. -- The toys themselves are copyrighted by Hasbro, Takara, Banadi, Toy Box, ToyC, Kenner, and maybe one or two other companies I don't know about. * This list was produced for educational purposes only.

" | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 7 8 6 8 6 8 7 9.9 Antagony is somewhat of an enigma. Soon after her mysterious arrival on the Beast Wars planet, she displayed the uncanny ability to accurately predict significant events. She explains away her clairvoyance as mere intuition, but the other Predacons feel it is something more than that - almost as if she's from a time yet to be. Her prowess in battle is further enhanced by the ability to project limited-duration hard light holograms, which serve to confuse her opponents. Antagony's primary weapon fires bolts of corrosive acid which instantly begins to dissolve Maximal armor upon impact. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Blackarachnia Function: Double Agent Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 4 7 6 6 5 8 7 8 Moving like a venomous shadow under a midnight moon, Blackarachnia is an evil temptress posing as a Predacon double agent! Capable of converting thermal energy into poisonous cyber-venom, she lures Maximals into her darkened den and then stuns them by firing a poison-tipped missile! After restraining them in her powerful legs, she then sinks her fangs into their armor to suck their life-force dry. Secret Weapon Locations: Launcher within back legs are hidden missiles ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Buzz Saw Function: Aerial Surveillance Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 7 6 8 5 6 5 7 6 Hunts enemy Maximals from altitudes of 20,000 feet. Uses infrared scanning sensors wired within its eyes to detect movement below, then zeroes in and launches powerful air-to-ground 'sting' missiles to induce temporary paralysis. Buzz Saw can exit Earth's atmosphere at any time, but prefers hunting land-based enemies where it has the advantage of flight. Known to gang up on victims with its evil partner, the wicked Waspinator! Secret Weapon Locations: Launcher within back Missiles beneath wings ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Buzzclaw {Fuzor} Function: Saboteur / Quick Attack Specialist Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 7 6 8 5 6 5 7 6 Part mantis, part lizard, Buzzclaw has all the makings of a ferocious but sly warrior. In beast mode Buzzclaw crushes his enemies with spiny pincers and venomous mandibles while a powerful tail lashes out to land his surprised prey on their backside. As a flying robot Buzzclaw generates lethal ion discs from his forearm-mounted stilettos, paralyzing his victims and rendering them helpless. Generally stoic and silent, when it comes to the business of battle Buzzclaw is arrogant, resourceful, and intent on the job at hand. Challenge Level: [04] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Dinobot {TMetal 2} Function: Special Operations Combatant Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 8.6 6.3 7.7 7.5 6 8.9 6.8 9.5 An eerie and amoral regeneration of the former Maximal hero, Dinobot was synthetically reanimated on-line as a vicious combat expert. Silent and utterly depraved, Dinobot weilds his deadly warrior skills at Megatron's beckon call. A skeletal hybrid of organic and Cybertronian life, he slices through any substance with transmetalized talons. Moves at lightning speed with reptilian cunning. This ruthless clone paralyzes his prey by channeling Rampage's noxious spark energy, which now fuels his existance. Challenge Level: [05] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Double Punch Function: Killer Elite Group: Predacon " Assassinaton -- that is what most dramatically changes the fate of the world. " | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 8 7 7 6 6 9 8 9 Cunning and cynical, Double Punch is an expert in assassination and execution who has aquired numerous killing techniques. Wether robot, beast, or human, all beings considered by others as important become his prey. Using a stealth mode that turns his body invisible, he silently approaches his targets and swiftly liquidates them, but by nature he prefers making a blood sacrifice of his enemy openly and in broad daylight. From his tail he injects a deadly net poison that destroys his enemy's nervous system, while from one arm he launches twin energy signature-seeking missiles. The spy drone Beeline that he launches from his other arm he uses by remote control to attack targets 100km ahead, to search for enemies, or even to transport datacubes, though he often employs it to record the scenes of his own assassinations. Usually he aligns with both sides in an argument in order to advance his own position in the Predacon ranks. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Drill Bit Function: Infantry Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 6 3 2 8 4 7 3 4 Arising from miles beneath the planet's surface, Drill Bit digs his way up through the ground to surprise Maximal enemies when they least expect it. His diamond-tipped, titanium-alloy destruction drill can bore through anything -- even the Maximals' latest high-tech battle armor! Drill Bit lives underground in a subterranean series of twisting tunnels that go straight to the mysterious planet's center, where molten lava mixed with Energon crystals fuels his constant thirst for more power. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Fractyl Function: Geochemist Group: Predacon " The power of this planet is our salvation and our curse. " | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 4 9 8 4 4 5 5 6 While Megatron pushes him to be a warrior, Fractyl is more concerned with solving the problems caused by the strange planet's surplus of Energon. The other Predacons either ignore him or ridicule his apparant fascination with the energy source, despite the fact that his work could provide them with the means for ultimate victory over the Maximals. While his research has had only temporary success, he is confident that he will eventually resolve their recurring overload problems, thereby earning the others' respect. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Iguanus Function: Demolitions Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 5 8 7 5 5 7 6 6 A lizard unlike any other, his internal intelligence processors are specifically programmed for combat sabotage. If Optimus Primal installs aninfrared detection dish near a Predacon outpost, Iguanus will destroy it. If the Maximals create a weapon, Iguanus will alter it to self-destruct when fired. Body scales are actually titanium-plated armor, as is the deflective headplate that shields him from laser fire. Secret Weapon Locations: Inside tail ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Iguanus {TMetal 2} Function: Demolitions & Artillery Expert Group: Predacon " The shortest path between two Maximal points is a heat-seeking missile. " | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 5.6 8.1 3.5 6.5 4.5 7.2 8.3 7.3 Iguanus is a master of combat calculations. Armed with long-range tactical missiles capable of carrying a wide variety of warheads, his firepower rating is among the highest of the Predacons. Able to accurately calculate target position from incredible distances, he obliterates enemies from thousands of kilometers with cutthroat precision. Special titanium armor plating withstands even the most severe blasts. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Inferno Function: Infantry Commander Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 7 4 8 4 7 8 6 5 Although seemingly slow, this giant ant's abdomen splits into separate quadrants to reveal hyper-drive ion thrusters that propel him at speeds of up to 180 mph! If he can't catch a retreating Maximal, he detaches his rear leg missiles and fires them from the secret launcher hidden within his power-pinching mandibles! The claw-like pinchers also detach so Inferno can put the bite on enemies even in robot mode, when his destructive powers are at their best! ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Injector {Fuzor} Function: Air Commander Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 5 8 8 7 7 8 6 7 He's got a face only a Predacon could love, but according to Injector, the vainest of the Predacons, he is the best thing to happen since Energon. Fused into two beasts -- half Lionfish, half hornet -- he is as dangerous as it gets. He is armed with a massive stinger and thrusting splines that inject his victims with a paralyzing poison; in robot mode he weilds a devastating stinger missile. Charismatic, clever, and evil to the core, Injector represents one of the Maximal's greatest threats. Challenge Level: [04] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Insecticon Function: Surveillance Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 6 7 5 5 5 4 6 5 Sonar-sensitive antennae locate and track enemy Maximals infiltrating Predacon battle perimeters. Internal radar beacon emits low-frequency signal to alert others. When hungry for battle himself, this insidious insect uses his crossbow to cripple enemies, then drags 'em to their doom with his monstrous mandibles! Secret Weapon Locations: Weapons under wings become crossbow ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Jetstorm Function: Sky Patrol Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 3 4 7 5 3 5 7 6 Mesmerized by his awesome appearance, enemies seldom realize the power of this Predacon... until it's too late! Striking silently from the sky, Jetstorm's internal coolant capacitors produce a toxic venom that, when regurgitated from his mouth, can destroy an enemy at a range of 500 feet. To keep his aerial competition in check, Jetstorm can launch twin air-to-air missiles that explode on impact in a blaze of destruction! ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Lazorbeak Function: Aerial Attacks Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 6 4 9 3 5 8 5 5 A fast-flying sky pirate with a thirst for battle, Lazorbeak upholds his motto of believing the only good point he likes about the Maximals is their melting point. His laser weapon can melt through most of the Maximals' battle armor, but such aggression tends to drain his Energon levels, allowing him to initialize only brief periods of aerial attack sequences between robot and pterodactyl modes. Still, when his power levels are charged, he's one mean menace! ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Manterror Function: Quick-Attack Specialist Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 5 9 6 3 6 5 8 10 The maniacal Manterror may seem awkward in appearance, but he's a skilled fighter with devastating quickness in both robot and insect battle modes. Having the power of flight and equipped with razor-sharp raptor claws, he activates internal stealth silencers to strike from the sky like a sizzling bolt of proton lightning. In robot mode, he prefers to launch his devastating ion discs, which don't stop spinning until they've sliced through a targeted enemy's external armor. As he always says, " To face Manterror, is to face defeat! " ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Megatron {Alligator} Function: Predacon Commander Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 10 9 10 10 10 9 7 10 " Prosper or perish is the Predacon way of life, and we plan to survive by driving the Maximals into extinction! That bat-brained Optimus Primal thinks he can challenge our strength, but he has yet to feel the painful punishment I'll give him as I sink my teeth into his furry flesh! He may still be a robot on the inside, but on the outside... he's my lunch!

New turbine powered V.T.O.L. (Vertical Take Off and Landing) engines extend from his body, providing blazing atmospheric flight and the ability to "drop in" on unsuspecting Maximals with his whiplash cutlass! Fused reptillian musculature enhances his power in an organic robot mode. The result: creation of a supreme tyrant! Challenge Level: [06] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Megatron {TMetal 2} Function: Predacon Commander Group: Predacon " What does not destroy me makes me strong... what attempts to destroy me shall be obliterated. " | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 10+ 9.9 10+ 10+ 10 10+ 10+ 10+ Megatron -- supreme tyrant, evil genius, and commander of the Predacons -- combines brute strength, military cunning, ruthlessness, and terror to achieve cruel methods of oppression. Fused with original Megatron's spark essence and thrown into a volcano, he rises into his most powerful and befitting incarnation yet: the dragon. Breathes pyro-beam torpedoes that give birth to flames burning 1,000 times hotter than oil. Deploys wings in beast, ground-speeder, and robot modes. Can fly up to 400 Mph. Tail fires electostatic energy and captures enemies for later torture. Travels up to 250Mph as ground-speeder while retaining full combat capabilities. Now experiences difficulty controlling rage, leaves excessive wake of fire and devastation. Recognizes this weakness, but beleives new Transmetal 2 form will empower him to defeat Optimal Optimus. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Powerpinch Function: Infantry Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 8 4 9 4 2 7 4 5 Despite his long body length and the giant pincher claws he drags behind him, Powerpinch is suprisingly fast; six speedy legs power him forward over almost any obstacle. His greatest assets are the powerful pincher claws that are strong enough to sever most enemies in half. And as all Maximals know, those pincher claws are as dangerous in insect form as they are when he converts to robot mode, which is why they never underestimate the ferocity of this truly evil insect. Challenge Level: [03] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Quickstrike {Fuzor} Function: Desert Combat Expert Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 5 7 5 6 6 10 6 8 There are few robots as downright mean as Quickstrike; even his fellow Predacons steer clear of his terrible disposition whenever possible. His deadly cobra-headed tail squirts a venom that instantly paralyzes its victims, leaving them defenseless against his razor-sharp scorpion pincers and attack-claw. Challenge Level: [02] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Rampage {TMetal} Function: Warlord Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 10+ 9 9 10+ 9 10 10+ 9 The result of an experiment gone awry, Rampage is an evil titan devoid of mercy. Calculating and fearsome, he is a legend among Cybertrons, and it is rumored that his spark cannot be extinguished. In king crab mode Rampage uses his hulking claws to generate colossal tidal waves, induce earthquakes, and trigger landslides. Though his bulk hinders his overall dexterity, Rampage makes good use of his impenatrable armor and multi-weapons arsenal in crab, tank, and robot modes. Galva-conductors on his back channel deadly electric currents that he disperses at will. Rampage customarily activates his gatling cannon to finish off his enemies in a deluge of cluster missiles. All Cybertrons fear his unmatched aggression. Challenge Level: [08] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Razorclaw Function: Undercover Attack Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 8 4 2 9 3 9 5 6 Capable of remaining motionless beneath a layer of sand, Razorclaw is one of the best quick-attack specialists they've got! When enemies approach his hidden location, his powerful pincher claw shoots up through the surface to capture and impale victims with the claw's protruding cyber spikes! Radar-defeating shell armor allows him to stay cloaked from Maximal sensors. Blaster rifle in secondary claw fires disrupter particles, temporarily paralyzing his unsuspecting prey. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Retrax Function: Desert Demolition Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 8 8 1 9 7 7 2 8 Burrowing deep into deser sand dunes, Retrax survives in a series of cool, cavernous tunnels lined with the remains of his fallen enemies. His greatest defense is his ability to curl into a ball and escape danger by racing across the desert like a turbocharged tire screaming down a mountain. Or, when attacking, he can roll over a similar-sized enemy and crush their body upon impact, then use his powerful front pinchers to dissect them in seconds. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Sandstorm Function: Covert Ops. Commander Group: Predacon " When destiny cries out my name, I must answer. " | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 8 9 6 8 10 9 7 9 Although Predacon in name, Sandstorm seems to resemble a Maximal of old. A courageous commander of Predacon resistance forces, Sandstorm demands nothing less than utter commitment and total loyalty from his troops. He was insturmental in bringing together the warring factions of the Maximals and Predacons against the tyranny that inhabits Cybertron. His quick decisions and fair judgments are his foremost attributes that instill respect from both Predacon and Maximal alike. In both beast and robot modes, Sandstorm is paired with a cyber-bee infused with the spark of a deceased comrade. Sandstorm's weaponry includes twin shock-concussion missiles which launch from his claws and a deadly electro-arc sting which erupts from his tail, disabling any foe within his immediate vicinity. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Scarem {TMetal 2} Function: Ground Commando Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 5.6 6.2 5.3 8.2 2.9 9.1 4.2 6.5 Megatrons cloning experiments have added a new and sinister member to the Predacon ranks: Scarem. A cold, calculating, cyber-organic beetle, Scarem can travel at extremely high speeds over any type of terrain - even when upside-down. His body shell withstands an incredible amount of firepower. When on the attack, Scarem's ultra aggressive fighting methods are nearly impossible to stop. Now the Maximals must use everything at their disposal to stop the vicious assault of Scarem. Challenge Level: [02] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Scavenger {TMetal} Function: Infantry Commander Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 7 6 8 4 7 8 6 5 A quantum surge has rocked the world of the Transformers, and now the evil infantry commander, Scavenger, has become a meched-out fire ant with awesome drilling power. Two spinning augers drill into the eatrh while bladed wheels thrust him forward, providing a perfect method of ambush attack and reconnaissance. One of the Maximal's most dangerous enemies, Scavenger's goal is to make every Maximal unable to set foot outside without thinking twice about what might suddenly burst from underground. Challenge Level: [06] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Scorponok Function: Desert Attack Commander Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 8 5 5 7 6 7 9 8 The searing summer heat of the Mojave Desert turns it into a dry, barren wasteland. A place where only the strong survive. A place the vicious Scorponok calls home. With hidden robotic technology incorporated into its scorpion body structure, this desert attack specialist surprises enemies three different ways: by launching its robotic bee; firing a 2-shot missile blast; and by using its terrifying tail for poisonous cyber-strikes! Secret Weapon Locations: One claw fires secret missiles Other claw launches bee ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Scourge {TMetal 2} Function: Special Operations Combatant Group: Predacon " A plague upon all their houses! " | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 4.6 7 8.7 6.5 6 8.7 7.8 9.3 Scourge is possibly the most despicable of the already loathsome Predacons. Delights in taking depravity to all-time-low levels. Obsessed with germ-warfare and lethal chemical development. Despised by peers for his inclination to test deadly viral and bacterial concoctions on fellow Predacons. Skilled in combat, Scourge weilds photon cluster cannons with chemical warhead capabilities. Has electostatic disruptors inside antennae; capable of leaping distances exceeding two miles with use of wings. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Shokaract {TMetal} Function: Universal Overlord Group: Predacon " The universe exists to serve me. " | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 10+ 10+ 9 10+ 10+ 10+ 10+ 10+ Not since the days of the Dark God, Unicron, has the universe felt such a presence of evil. Once a lowly Predacon warrior, Shokaract stumbled upon the life force of the Dark God during a failed recon mission. Fashioning a housing for this Dark Essence, Shokaract called it his Decepticon Matrix of Conquest. Serving as a mockery of the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, the vessel that destroyed Unicron in 2005, the mere mention of this Matrix of Conquest would instill fear into the spark of every Transformer for centuries to come. Shokaract's goal is frighteningly simple -- the subjugation of the entire universe. His only opposition is pockets of resistance spread throughout the galaxy, attacking his herald-led armies at every opportunity. With the Matrix of Conquest in his possession, Shokaract has no weaknesses. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Sky Shadow {Fuzor} Function: Camouflage Expert Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 4 9 6 6 8 8 5 8 An intelligent, brilliantly colored robot, Sky Shadow is one of the most charismatic and popular of the Predacons. A good statesman and leader, he acts as one of Megatron's most trusted counselors. In actuality however, he despises everyone and wants nothing more than to rule the Predacons with his own, " more imaginative techniques. " He is an expert in concealment and surprise-assault tactics; with reptillian patience he can lie for days in wait and then suddenly attack with a powerful turbo-missile, or convert to robot form and overwhelm unexpecting Maximals with his devastating saw-edged pincer. Powerful wings allow him to hover over targets, giving him a distinct advantage with targeting accuracy and in reconnaissance missions.

Turbo-driven quad thrusters ignite from below his armor-plated shell to send him screaming through murky earth swamps like a heat-seeking missile! When hydraulically hinged jaws snap down on their victims, the terrifying sight reminds one of a trash compactor crushing a soda can -- except soda cans don't scream for mercy!

Highly sensitive microchips existing just millimeters below his "skin" instantly release venom upon contact with aggressors. When on the attack, his powerful legs allow him to leap in front of enemies over 100 yards away. After catching them off guard, he releases his head-butting poison tounge to knock 'em out cold. Talk about tough, this guy doesn't feed on flies, he feeds on Maximals! ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Spittor {TMetal 2} Function: Spec.

Highly skilled under sea and on land, he is the soundless warrior who Megatron reserves for the jobs that require seamless execution -- a true professional. Covered in poison from head to tail, it was rumored that rubbing his back would bring luck but only resulted in several Predacons slipping into severe and extended dementia. Dangerously patient; has an electro-venom tounge which actually detaches to be weilded as a weapon in robot mode. Can leap one quarter-mile in a single bound. Has camoflaged spinal claw that eliminates frontal attacks. Unrefined and consumed by repressed anger; dislikes all things but is extremely devoted to Megatron. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Tarantulas Function: Ninja Warrior Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 8 4 7 6 5 7 7 8 An eight-armed master of the martial arts, this ninja nightmare slashes his way through battle virtually unstoppable! The heroic Optimus Primal suspects him of being responsible for the disappearance of numerous earthlings, and recent rumors suggest the existance of giant cocoons where Tarantulas may store his unfortunate prey. He must be stopped before he spins a web of terror across the galaxy! Secret Weapon Locations: Launcher within back Legs are hidden missiles ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Tarantulas {TMetal} Function: Ninja Warrior Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 9 4 8 6 5 7 7 8 There are few Predacons spinning webs of violence and deceit as skillfully as the eight-legged ninja warrior Tarantulas. After the quantum surge, Tarantulus was delighted to discover himself as a meched-out arachnid with motorcross vehicle-like capabilities. Instead of constantly relying on stealth and suprise, Tarantulus now races into battle on his wicked new wheels, converting into a new animalized robot mode that makes him virtually unstoppable in battle! Challenge Level: [05] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Terragator {Fuzor} Function: Swamp Warrior/Amphibious Assault Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 6 6 4 5 6 9 7 7 Most Transformers find that smelly, mucky environments clog up their circuitry. Not the half-croc, half-turtle Terragator. He prefers it. Terragator is most at home in the swamp lands and sewers. Part of the Predacon elite amphibious warriors, his specialty is land/water assault. In robot mode he weilds an impenatrable shield, and his hand reveals an awesome weapon. Challenge Level: [02] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Terrorsaur Function: Aerial Combat Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 6 5 8 4 6 7 5 6 Striking from the sky like a demonic dragon, this organically enhanced robot warrior is seldom seen... until it's too late! Megatron personally supervised his genetically engineered creation, ensuring his devastating aerial combat efficiency. Truly a terror, he is known to ingest entire flocks of birds by flying open mouthed through their flight pattern. Secret Weapon Locations: Behind robot head ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Terrorsaur {TMetal} Function: Aerial Attacs Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 6 4 10 3 5 8 3 5 A quantum surge has altered the structure of the tyrannical Terrorsaur, turning him into a jet-powered, vehicle-like Pterodactyl with an unfettered rage for the Maximals. If Terrorsaur was once known as fearless, his new armor has made him kamikaze. Hidden jet thrusters leave a trail of fire in his wake and often ignite the terrain below -- a fact that tickles his twisted humor circuits endlessly. Fierce talons and turbine spikes offer a dangerous arsenal that keep him involved with his favorite activity: battling Maximals. Challenge Level: [05] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Transquito Function: Air Assault and Reconnaissance Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 5 4 9 8 6 8 7 6 There are few that can match Transquito's uncanny ability to track and discover hidden Maximal outposts. Converting to combat mode, he can hold off several Maximals at once with huge poison-tipped pinchers. Any unfortunate robot surviving a strike from these pinchers is immediately afflicted with an irritating rash and sent into a delirious rage. His powerful wings hurtle him to blazing speeds and create an annoying high-pitched screech known to drive Maximals out of their minds. His manner is highly obnoxious and dangerous, a point well illustrated by a frequent and destructive habit of firing his missile launcher incessantly when upset. Transquito is hated by all who know him. Challenge Level: [06] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Tripredacus Function: Battle Master Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 10 10 9 10 10 10 10 10 The ultra beast Tripredacus mounts its attack on the Maximal fortress in the dead of night, calling upon and combining Cicadacon's plague-like destruction, Ram Horn's tenacity, and Sea Clamp's crushing power. Emerging from the bowels of the earth, Tripredacus summons its forces to form an incredible weapon of destruction. Sea Clamp's linkage system connects Cicadacon's chopping rotor blades to Ram Horn's powerful driving motor, creating a mega-missile launcher the Predacon team uses to slash its slimy way into battle. With power and lethality multiplied three times over, Tripredacus prepares to overtake and rule the robotic jungle. Challenge Level: [09] ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Tripredacus Agent {TMetal 2} Function: Covert Intelligence Operative Group: Predacon " Deception is the nemesis of detection. " | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 6.5 8.6 8.2 7.1 7 8.6 5.8 9.4 His outer appearance resembles that of a Maximal, but within beats the fuel pump of a devious espionage agent! A former saboteur, this agent adopted several aliases while involved in the Beast Wars. As an assassin he works best when operating solo. His irradiated spark, which was salvaged by the Vok, allows him to cloak his energy signature. Carries a low-radiation proton bomb launcher with laser targeting. His only weakness is sensitivity to bright light. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Vice Grip Function: Reconnaissance Group: Predacon " The search often begins within yourself. " | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 8 5 5 7 5 8 6 7 Vice Grip is one of Megatrons most loyal and dependable troops. He understands the value of a mission and does his utmost to complete it successfully. This drive, coupled by his extraordinary tracking abilities, is well received by the Predacon leader. His comrades have deep respect for him and often look to him for guidance and advice. In insect mode, his giant rear pincers can easily crush unsuspecting Maximals, and then finish them off with a high voltage electric surge. In robot mode, the pincers convert to a hand-held pulse weapon that discharges an explosive ball of electricity capable of shorting out all Maximals in a twenty meter radius. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Waspinator Function: Aerial Attack Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 8 5 8 5 6 7 7 6 Like a rattle snake's tail before an attack, a chilling sound buzzes in the distance as if to forecast approaching danger. Suddenly from the sky the giant wasp appears, revealing it's monstrous face and bulging eyes as it streaks down for an aerial attack! The Waspinator launches its secret wing missiles, striking the helpless victims below with the poisonous power of a robotic cyber-sting! Secret Weapon Locations: Launcher within back Missiles beneath wings ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Waspinator {TMetal} Function: Aerial Attack Group: Predacon | Stren. | Intel. | Speed | Endur. | Rank | Cour. | Firep. | Skill | 7 6 9 7 5 4 7 6 After the quantum surge, Waspinator became a meched-out, armored wasp with the ability to change into a fighter-jet as well as a bio-genetically enhanced robot. His personality, however, did not change much; he's still high-tempered, aggressive and dangerous when angered. Only now Waspinator is faster, armed with a toxic stinger, and more driven in his mission to wipe out the Maximals forever!
