I like that it gives Rampage a layer of depth outside of being a pyscho... while presenting him as a Pyscho XD

A motorcycle, though she had a disconnect among certain circuits so she couldn't read motivations and had trouble relating to others. I recommend looking up more on that run, as it's pretty easy to find with a google search of "transmutate transformers". ;paceina wrote:what was the alt universe form transmutate got that sf mentioned
Oh, indeed. He's a heartless monster to most, but to a kindred spirit, he's likely more loyal and protective than most.Wargriffin wrote:I like that it gives Rampage a layer of depth outside of being a pyscho... while presenting him as a Pyscho XD
This episode also draws an excellent parallel AND contrast between Silverbolt's nobility and compassion, and Rampage's more selfish compassion.
I enjoyed Chuck's review, as it's a good summary and analysis of the episode, and cuts to the core of the emotional and ethical drama.
There's actually one of the comic series that includes a Trans-Mutate who wasn't twisted into a near broken form at birth, who suffered a disconnect in certain processing circuits, so she couldn't understand other people's motivations/body language/etc, and was a curious, kindhearted, and intelligent, but not quite fully understanding of other people Autobot.
In that comic, she actually ends up befriending Rampage in a different version of events, among other things, and she's a super powerful "point one percenter".
I recommend looking up info on Transmutate beyond Beast Wars, as it's really interesting!

So, Transmutate has I believe Rampage's first mention of his cannibalistic tendencies.
Re: Beast Wars Series Thread (Spoilers Allowed)
a line from later in beast wars from rampage that also shows the depth of his chracter
"i regret every thing ive ever done my sweet"
rampage is a monster he was made to be a monster and he can only ever be a monster even if he wished to be otherwise

The original script for "Bad Spark" had Rampage threaten to eat Megatron's spark "with fava beans;" which was probably cut due concerns about being too dark (no to mention a reference to Hannibal Lecter's tendencies...).SpacePaladin wrote:So, Transmutate has I believe Rampage's first mention of his cannibalistic tendencies.

...since when do the transformers cultivate fava beans? o.0 I can't imagine there were a lot of bean farms on cybertron.

It's a little known fact that fava beans are a potent source of Energon, with only the Ruby Crystals of Burma packing more Energon per pound.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote:...since when do the transformers cultivate fava beans? o.0 I can't imagine there were a lot of bean farms on cybertron.
