Episode 24: "Before the Storm" Quiz

Officially "Before the Storm" was billed as a standalone episode because having a three-part finale was too long. Narratively, though, this episode is the beginning of the end of the first season of "Beast Wars". It originally aired in February 1997.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The episode opened with a new energy source activating under a mountain. Both the Maximals and Predicons detected the energy spike, but which transformer reached it first?

Answer: Inferno (Predacon)

 Inferno was a perfect candidate to investigate and secure the new energy source. He was an ant who could fly while in robot mode, meaning he could fly to the source and then use his beast mode to dig through the mountain. No one else even showed up before Inferno had his prize.
2. What was the source of the energy spike under the mountain?

Answer: A second golden disk

 The first Golden Disc was the golden record on the Voyager spacecraft, launched in 1977. In the fictional "Transformers" universe, the Predacons stole it, and used it to find Earth.

This second disc would become known as the Alien Disc, and was covered in alien markings seen in previous episodes. It would play an important role in the second season of "Beast Wars".
3. Since the beginning the series, Megatron's ambitions had grown. No longer focused merely on the acquisition of Energon and the Maximals' destruction, Megatron turned to uncharacteristic measures. He called a one-on-one meeting with Optimus Primal to discuss what novel idea?

Answer: A truce

 Optimus Primal was skeptical, saying, "When Predacons talk truce, it usually means they need time to reload their weapons." But Megatron was sincere; he had no time to waste on Maximals. The other Maximals were also upset with the decision, but Megatron played his cards beautifully. He knew that Optimus would have to give peace a change, no matter how unlikely, because he was a Maximal.
4. While all the other transformers were obsessing over the new energy signature, Tarantulas took advantage of the distraction. What did Tarantulas steal from the Predacon base?

Answer: A transwarp cell

 Since the beginning of the series, Tarantuals has had his own agenda. He wanted to use a stasis pod to create a personal escape ship, and a vital component for faster-than-light travel was a transwarp cell. Tarantulas was much more aware of what was going on than most of the other transformers in "Beast Wars", and saw that the time for his departure had come.

When Waspinator caught the spider stealing, Tarantulas candidly said he was leaving before locking Waspinator in with an explosive.
5. Megatron was quite the chess master in this episode, and foresaw Tarantulas' betrayal. He even watched Tarantulas on the security cameras. Whom did Megatron ask to follow Tarantulas?

Answer: Blackarachnia

 If Tarantulas was the most rebellious Predacon, Blackarachnia was probably second. The spiders often had their own agendas. Sending one spider to watch the other would have been a terrible idea if Megatron hadn't planned on Blackarachnia betraying him.

Sure enough, once Blackarachnia found Tarantulas, she insisted that she be let in on his plans, or else she would inform Megatron.
6. The Maximals knew the Predacons were up to something, and decided to send in an infiltration unit to the Predacon base. Unfortunately, they were spotted and had to turn away. Which Maximals completely, utterly failed their mission?

Answer: Airazor and Rattrap

 The plan was simple: Airazor would carry Rattrap to the Predacon base, drop him off, and then call the Predacons to provide a distraction. While Airazor was talking to Megatron, Rattrap started to sneak towards the base, but was discovered by hidden security cameras. Megatron asked Airazor to take Rattrap away with her.

Back at the Maximal base, Airazor and Rattrap reported their complete and utter failure, which was the perfect cover to help Tigatron sneak in.
7. While the Maximal infiltration unit was discovered and had to turn back, Tigatron was able to sneak into the Predacon base through the vents. When he found a terminal, he linked in to see what he could learn. How did Tigatron get past Predacon security?

Answer: By solving virtual reality puzzles

 Tigatron plugged into the Predacon computer, and started navigating cyberspace in a virtual reality interface. The security involved tapping a correct sequence on the Predacon symbol, and solving a 2x2x2 Rubik's Cube shaped like Megatron's head.

While he was distracted in cyberspace, Terrorsaur managed to catch Tigatron.
8. In order to help Tigatron escape, the Maximals launched a diversion at the Predacon base. Who fired the first shot of the fight?

Answer: No one

 All the Maximals gathered near the Predacon base to provide a distraction. They still had a truce, and Optimus was insistent that they not be the ones to break it. Dinobot was tempted, but Optimus was firm. Megatron ordered that Tigatron be captured, but that absolutely no weapons were to be used.

The Predacons fell into carefully laid traps and diversions while Tigatron made his escape.
9. Despite the Predacons' best efforts, the Maximals were able to all escape from the Predacon base. What was Megatron's reaction to his troops' poor performance?

Answer: Pleased

 As the Predacons dragged themselves back to the base, battered by the Maximals' ploy, Megatron was pleased. It was a convincing performance, but he actually wanted Tigatron to escape to warn the Maximals of what he had learned.
10. Once all the Maximals were safely away, Tigatron was able to tell them what he found out from the Predacon computers. What was the big news?

Answer: The aliens were coming to Earth!

 At this point in the series, the transformers did not actually know that they were on Earth in prehistoric times. That revelation would come at the beginning of season 2. A recurring theme through the first season was the strange alien markings found around the planet.

After destroying so many of the aliens' artifacts, they were now on their way to personally intervene in the "Beast Wars".
