1. Which type of insect matches Inferno's beast mode?

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 15: Inferno

Answer: Fire ant

There are more than 285 species of Fire Ants in countries including the USA, Australia, China, Taiwan and the Philippines. They can be distinguished from other ants by their colouring (head/body: copper. Abdomen: dark brown). A sting from a Fire Ant can be very painful and, in some cases, people have suffered a severe allergic reaction. If you do get stung, it's best to seek medical attention quickly.

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 4: Blackarachnia

Answer: Red-back

Blackarachnia often refers to herself as a Black Widow which is the American name for the Australian Red-back.

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 3: Quickstrike

Answer: "Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1"

We are first introduced to Quickstrike in the episode "Coming of the Fuzors, part 1". A Fuzor is a transformer whose Beast Mode is created from two animals rather than just one. Quickstrike's beast mode is made up of a scorpion and a cobra. Throughout the series we meet three Fuzors: Quickstrike, Silverbolt and Tigerhawk.

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 2: Scorponok

Answer: Challenged Megatron for leadership

Out of all the original Predacons, Scorponok was the only one who showed complete loyalty to Megatron, not once challenging him for leadership. At some stage in the series, the other original Predacons (Dinobot, Terrorsaur, Tarantulas and Waspinator) all challenged Megatron's leadership. However, none were successful in gaining full control.

From Quiz "Beast Wars": What's My Beast Mode?

Answer: Tyrannosaurus Rex

For most of the "Beast Wars", Megatron's beast mode takes the form of a purple Tyrannosaurus Rex. However, in the last four episodes, his beast mode changes to a bright red and yellow dragon.

From Quiz "Beast Wars": The Original Predacons

Answer: Megatron

The two factions are descendants from the two groups found in the original "Transformers" series - the Autobots and the Deceptecons. The sides are a clear portrayal as good versus evil. Megatron's beast mode is a Tyranorasaurus rex. When transformed, he is able to fire powerful laser beams out of his fist (which is also his beast form T.rex head). He is dark and sadistic, even to many of his fellow Predacons. He is ruthless in his attempts to destroy the Maximals. Despite this, Megatron should not be viewed as a mindless madman, as he is cunning and extremely talented in the art of war. The Megatron which features in "Beast Wars" should not be confused with the Megatron of the original "Transformers" era. The beast Megatron took the name of the famous Decepticon as a mark of respect and so is sometimes referred to as Megatron II.

From Quiz "Beast Wars": The Original Maximals

Answer: Optimus Primal

Optimus is a gorilla whilst in beast mode. More specifically, he is a silverback, representing his dominance and leadership of the Maximals. Optimus is a strong leader, and is often seen putting other Maximals in their place. For example, Rattrap after challenging Optimus' orders, Cheetor for his many mistakes, and Dinobot for challenging Optimus for leadership of the Maximals. Optimus is noted for possessing the ability to fly. However, as he is a gorilla, he cannot fly whilst in beast mode. Instead, it is his jet pack which allows him to fly whilst in his usual robot form. The only other original transformers with the ability of flight were Waspinator and Terrorsaur (both Predacons).

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 20: Rattrap

Answer: red

His original beast mode eyes were black but changed to green when he gained his Transmetal form. Tarantulas had yellow robot and beast mode eyes in both his original and Transmetal forms.

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 19: Transmutate

Answer: red

Transmutate had a very human-like face with small, red eyes.

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 17: Dinobot

Answer: Transform

After creating the clone, Megatron points out that the only thing the clone can't do is transform.

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 16: Cheetor

Answer: Dinobot

The result is the creation of a temporary teleportation device which sees Cheetor transported directly into the Predacon base, while Terrorsaur ends up in the Maximal base.

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 15: Inferno

Answer: Spider

Unfortunately, before Tarantulas could have a spider scanned, the stasis pod's DNA scanners chose something else, thus making Tarantulas very unhappy.

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 14: Tigatron

Answer: Snowstalker

We first see Snowstalker in the episode "Fallen Comrades" when she approaches Tigatron's stasis pod. Towards the end of the episode, we see Tigatron and Snowstalker together and, with Tigatron in beast mode, it's impossible to tell who's who. Sadly, Snowstalker was accidentally killed in the episode "Law of the Jungle".

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 12: Depth Charge

Answer: To find and destroy Rampage

The only reason Depth Charge joined the Beast Wars was to find and destroy Rampage, whom he referred to as "X".

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 11: Silverbolt

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 7: Rhinox

Answer: Sentinel

Sentinel was developed in the episode "A Better Mousetrap". Teletraan 1 wasn't used until the episode "Changing of the Guard". The other two choices don't exist.

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 5: Rampage

Answer: Depth Charge

After his creation, Rampage destroyed Colony Omicron. Depth Charge was the only survivor.

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 2: Scorponok

Answer: Scorpion

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters: Terrorsaur

"Terrorsaur Terrorize!" 'Terrorize' was the Predacons' activation code while the Maximals' activation code was 'Maximize'.

From Quiz "Beast Wars": What's My Beast Mode?

Answer: Manta Ray

Depth Charge first appears in the episode "Deep Metal". He was a very moody Maximal who preferred to work alone.

From Quiz "Beast Wars": The Original Predacons

Answer: Scorponok

After being blasted away by Scorponok, Dinobot then challenged Optimus for leadership over the Maximals. In this, he also failed. However, he did gain a place amongst the Maximals. Dinobot's beast mode is a velociraptor. Other animal forms of the predacons include a scorpion (Scorponok), a spider (Tarantulus), a pteranodon (Terrorsaur), and a wasp (Waspinator). While Dinobot left to join the Maximals, the Predacons remained at their base. This base was the Predacon ship, the Darksyde, which the Preds used in an attempt to escape Cybertron after stealing the Golden Disk.

From Quiz "Beast Wars": The Original Maximals

Answer: Maximise!

At the beginning of the series, the Maximals would say "maximise!" in order to transform into their robot form, and "beast mode" to transform into their animal form. However, as the series progressed, they seemed to be able to transform without any exclamations. The Predacons say "terrorize!" in place of "maximise!" in order to transform. The Maximals scanned the local wildlife in order to find hosts for their robot forms. The animals they scanned were a rhino (Rhinox), a cheetah (Cheetor), a rat (Rattrap), and a gorilla (Optimus).

From Quiz "Beast Wars" Characters 20: Rattrap

Answer: "Chain of Command"

Believing that Optimus had been killed by an alien probe, the Maximals were faced with fact that they needed to select a new leader. Naturally, Rattrap and Dinobot found that this was the perfect time to start an argument. The argument only ended when Optimus found a way to contact the Maximal base from inside the alien probe and hand temporary leadership to Rattrap.
