[aceina]

I was rather older when this moment happened compared to the other great death in the mythos (Optimus in the '86 movie, which came out a few weeks before I turned four, although I don't think I saw it until it came out on VHS), so my reaction was less "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" and more appreciation for the scale of his sacrifice. Still, this moment was one of those that crystallized Beast Wars' place as one of the best animated shows of the '90s, which was a rather transitional and important period for American animated story-telling.

And of course it is even more fitting Chuck put this review on Memorial Day.

an excellently done review of an episode that never fails to give me the feels when i watch it.




and then several episodes later they ruined the entire arc.

if you mean the clone that was the point megatron desecrated dinobots memory because he is a monster

As silly as it may sound, I still think this is one of the best final stands in fiction.

I love Megatron and Rampage's conversation... Rampage doesn't even hide his discontent with Megs and Megatron and Dinobot's final conversation


The interesting bit is Megatron and Dinobot came here to change the Predacon's fortunes well Dinobot did, Megs came to change HIS fortunes. Dinobot's act inadvertently leads to the state that will have him join Megatron in his heist Golden Disk to begin with.

This Episode is why Beast Wars was simply the best thing in the franchise until Prime finally managed to displace it,

Indeed decades ago Beast Wars decided that you didn't have to choose between being a great and fun kids show, and being a wonderful and well made piece of art, and is 100% proof that the American side of the franchise should have complete control over the lore,

Carl Sagan is the only one who dislike this episode

i actiualy find prime to be one of the worst trans formers shows it refused to ever shake up the status que for the entire series it has a shock to end a season on then things are fixed in the next season premier

villains where allowed to die but the heroes only lost 1 bot in the first episode nope no heroes die

"He lived a warrior and died a hero." Nice touch setting it up so it would be this year's memorial day episode.

While I liked a lot of animated shows in the 90s, I'm not sure if any of them ever had as good an episode as Code was. Though this episode was the reason for my massive Beast Wars request it is not the last though I don't know when Transmutate is coming since I don't think it was boosted through the que like the rest.

There are few episodes in television that can rival it for the manly tears factor, the only episode that I know of that surpasses it is Sleeping in Light.
