Rampage is finally here and along with Megatron and Tarantulas is among my favorite preds. Sadly as far as i know there are no Depth Charge episodes in the que. Two quick asides, I'm pretty sure Megatron knew about about Tarantulas' bug as he looks strait at it and doesn't seem surprised at all when he shows up and though its not mentioned till s3 Rampage also seems to have cannibalistic tendencies just like Tarantulas.
In reading some of the stuff posted on tvtropes about Beast Wars two things came up that seemed odd. The first was that Colony Omicron must have been a human and bot colony for Rampage to have taken it out solo which I don't see any need for that assumption as it assumes all the bots were armed and competent fighters. Considering how long it took our heroes to get in shape and how powerful Rampage is even without factoring in his immortality I don't have any problem with idea that Rampage leveled a colony populated by only transformers.
The second was that someone on the show had said at convention that among the Maximals, Rattrap and Optimus had known each other the longest which doesn't seem right. Based on what we see I would say it would be Rattrap and Rhinox (or slightly less likely Rhinox and Optimus) since they already have an established friendship (Rhinox even says Rattrap is his best friend) and if it really was Optimus and Rattrap it would make Rattrap's jab from the first episode about being ready to command even more dickish.
