"Although he took his name from a great leader, Optimus never learned the first rule of warfare: Never underestimate your opponent" Go, Obsidian!❤❤💯💯👍👍
@@WADE-hs2di They were pretending to be stupid like a previous Vehicon general Tankor and the Maximals did indeed fall for it allowing Obsidian and Strika to lure them into a trap.
They tied him to the Ark’s escape ship, that on top of losing the Nemesis and other valuable assets, and Megs wanted them gone. Seems like a pretty valid reason for revenge to me.
@@ampocalypsew3883 the implication is that not long after the others took off and time traveled back to their present day, Waspinator was driven from Earth by the prehistoric humans, and he spent the next millions of years flying from Earth to Cybertron on his own power. A fate fitting Waspinator's awful luck.
Silverbolt, perhaps, but he made it pretty clear in the season 1 finale that he had planed ahead for Rhinox's treachery when using his spark for Tankor. Having just recently watched both Beast Wars and Beast Machines both for the first time, it showed a good bit of cunning on Megatron's part that he did indeed remember how Rhinox behaved when reprogrammed into a Predicon back in BW season 1, and actually planed around it.
I think it interesting that Obsidian refers Strika as his consort. Consort is another word for husband or wife. Basically, Strika and Obsidian are a couple or married.
I’ve seen Obsidian and Strikah appear in comics and Strikah appear in animated but I feel like these two are key members of the “underutilized transformers characters” club
There are many underutilized characters that need another shot, such as Stratosphere, Lugnut, the RID 2001 Decepticon Commandos (Mega Octane, Movor, Armorhide, Ro-Tor and Rollbar), Skullgrin, and yes, Obsidian and Strika.
actually, i don't think they really mention primus or the original primes in any of the beast wars/beast machines. I don't think they worship the same 'religion' if thats what you wanna call it. But they do seem to hold vector sigma in high regard.
@@jessicaprice308 Actually, Rhinox said and I quote "Primus help us all if that thing [Protoform X aka Rampage] survived." in the episode "Bad Spark" (S2 E8).
The greatest sin was Megatron not activating a Titan sized Cybertronian - like Megaplex or Trypticon --given the amount of time he had prior to the Maximals arrival, he could've easily. But then again, first rule of being a ruler - ensure loyalty above all else - be it loved or feared, but you can not be a ruler if you are the only subject
To be fair, we don't even know if those exist anymore. Maximals and Predacons were downsized because of the shortage of energon, so it's reasonable to think the titans may have been taken offline. A relic of Cybertronian history
Out of all the Megatron's beasts Wars/Machine it's the only Megatron that successfully accomplish his goal to rule. His failure is just like all villians he talk to much.
Obsidian was supposed to get a show accurate deluxe class toy unfortunately Hasbro for reasons unknown scrapped it just like the sequel line Transtech,sighs.
Obsidian and strika were great addition to the late stage of beast machines unlike the other general spark who were corrupted by megatron they act completely of their own free will because they are loyal to cybertron itself, not to a specific person and will take order from whoever is in charge of the planet, whether they have good or evil intentions.
It likely he corrupted them to a point. Megatron feared dark rhinox so he seal his memories and personality. The tanktor post awakening seem like the time rhinox was a predacon.
The transformations were so strange and... for lack of a better word to describe, grotesque.. it was so unnerving to see them transform from one mode to another .-.
@@crunks2955 Ask Vector Prime indicates that some background characters in the G1 series were them, though I don't recall when this appearance happened.
Well Strika (in theory) looked like a pink robot seen in one of the "Five Faces of Darkness" parts of the original Transformers TV show. She was standing in front of a green, feminine-looking robot resembling Bumblebee that would later be revealed to be Glyph.
@@humangirl2122 Yeah it kinda was. Way too many disparate elements thrown into the same bowl. Couple that with the incredibly confusing opening that becomes downright nonsensical when you find out how it actually happened. Megatron somehow taking control of cybertron by himself when both factions want him dead is insane. If he could do that, he never would have stolen the golden disc.
@@humangirl2122 Jesus, calm down. There's nothing wrong with liking something that has flaws. There's also no need to throw insults or profanity at someone for pointing out said flaws.
@@AlphaOmega1237 But Insulting the honor of Beast Machines is very cold hearted and unforgiving and pretending it never existed is exactly like pretending like the American's never won the Revolution! This show along with Beast Wars introduce me and my brother to the Transformers universe!
Rattrap: "Oh man! We are duking it out with the Greatest Generals in Cybertronian History!" Could he be stated that they're the ones that overthrown the Quintessons?
Eh, they had to have been online when Megatron’s virus happened. Remember Megatron doesn’t have access to the Well of Allsparks, only the sparks of bots that were alive when his virus infected everyone
You forgot to show the part where Strika's cannon blast overwhelmed Nightscream's shout. Considering that Nightscream wrecked the giant Megatron head with the same attack, that's some damn impressive firepower from Strika. 5:01 Also, this is definitely one of Cheetor's shining moments across both BW _and_ BM.
It's interesting to think what could've been in a post-Beast Machines world. Obsidian and Strika wouldn't have been reformatted, and you can assume there are plenty of colonies out there that faired similarly. That on top of the existing Predacon/Maximal hostility? I'm smelling a huge civil war brewing...
Ya it's like they wanted some "oh these guys are powerful old bots" yet.. never had any backstory... imagine if they had names that were from the g1 cartoons, then.. an actual impact
To be fair, Beast Wars and Beast Machines take place in the future. It's not unlikely that Obsidian and Strika became the greatest generals in Cybertronian history much later after G1. As a matter of fact there was had to be a eon long gap between G1 and BW and BM since by the time of BW, Cybertroians had taken on much smaller body types to save on energon ,so that gives plenty of time to allow Obsidian and Strika to become incredibly well known.
It would be interesting if Nightscream appear on Transformers: War For Cybertron Trilogy - Kingdom and he takes Optimus Primal's unused Bat robot/beast form as his own robot/beast mode.
that's because she thought he had silverbolt's until later she found out that he was holding waspinator's spark then found out jetstorm was holding silverbolt's spark.
@@nicocabeza9733 but unfortunately due too copyright laws, she is her but isn't named strika, like come on most of us obviously know who she is why change her name to alpha strike.
It was funny that Thrust was the only on smart enough to move out of the way of the gravitational fields. So much for the greatest generals in Cybertronian history.
I literally think it’s because he cracks jokes too and was able to catch onto cheetors intent from the line, the generals were to thick and stuffy to make the connection quick enough
Megatron" optimus and his maximals fester like a disease" WELL MAYBE IF YOU DIDN'T WHINE ABOUT WANTING POWER YOU WOULDN'T HAVE DIED. THIS IS EVERY SINGLE MEGATRON'S FAULT still love david kaye's voice acting
Paul Dobson aka D-Structs (Dinotrux) Patricia Drake aka Sally Rasmausen (Geronimo Stilton) Ironic two main villains who are in different universes created in the same country were two of Cybertron's greatest generals
Goku Black they are the same as who they were their original spark name is still obesidian and strika, they were general amount the cybertron military ranking
@@tylergonzales8946 rattrap has always had a pessimistic view of the time. Rattrap: we're all going to die!!! Was continuously used line. He also had the weakest weapons in any form. It was his skill as a hacker/scavanger.
He’s calm and collected. But of course here he and Strika are fooling the Maximals into thinking they’re just ordinary drones, until their intelligence is revealed by their tactics.
I wish we could see more obsidian and strika in the next coming transformers toy line and get a better understanding of their past or maybe have them appear in cyberverse not only as a fan service to us beast era fans but to also show us what they where like in the past
Destiny Heero Prime They already explained why in beast machines. Megatron had there sparks and placed them into new vehicon bodies. Obsidian and strika’s goal was always to protect cybertron even before becoming vehicons since they were always known as cybertron’s greatest generals. And since megatron became cybertron itself in the show they decided serve under his command to wipe out the maximals. I do understand we still don’t know much about there past but I doubt we will find out more anytime soon.
Obsidian looks like a scorpion and Strika maybe a bear? I think in ages past, they were chosen from Maximals and Predicons to defend Cybertron from outside attacks. Most likely from whoever Tarantulus belongs to.
"Terminate", "Obliterate", "EXTERMINATE!!!!!" I am sorry for bringing Dr. Who into this, but come on! These guys were asking for that joke. even if it was for a short time and they where doing it to fool primal and his friends
Maybe the Maximals and Predacons had a war of their own after the Autobot/Decepticon War, resulting in the rise of Obsidian and Strika before the events of Beast Wars?
It’d be hard to retrieve their sparks from the lava, don’t you think? Terrorsaur and Scorponok should’ve had more screen time and more episodes. Plus, I’ve always been curious to see how Scorponok would’ve looked as a Transmetal.
@@humangirl2122 I was talking about the Aero Drones that was lead by Jetstorm (who had Silverbolt's Spark) and the Tank Drones lead by Tankor (who had Rhinox's Spark) and Megatron should have use Inferno and Quickstrike's Sparks to create a new Jetstorm and Tankor. The drones commanded by Strika are the Artillery Drones not the Tank Drones and when a Transformer dies, his/her Spark leaves his/her body and heads back to Cybertron and is store in the Spark Chamber.
@@jamethong8005 The Transformers on Cybertron didn't die. their spark's extracted by Megatron.Even Cybertron has it's own heaven and hell so Quickstrike and Inferno's spark's are in the pit which is Cybertron's own hell.
Como curiosidad strika aparecio tiempo despues en transformers animated reutilizando su diseño tal y como ocurrio con cheetor,blackarachnia,rattletrap y waspinator
Blackarachnia en sí su diseño lo veo como una mezcla entre su primera forma de beast wars y los colores un poco en su versión transmetal,aunque para la cancelada 3ra temporada de animated iba a tener sus colores originales. Igual no olvides a jetstorm q ocuparon sus colores y cara de bm solo cambiaron de cuerpo para ser el hermano gemelo de jetfire. Con waspinator literal lo hicieron más mamado y un poco aterrador pero igual de estúpido
Obsidian: optimus prime leader of the autobots and megatron leader of the decepticons Optimus prime: who are you? Megatron: and why you bring us here!? You are not decepticons Obsidian: you see we are not autobots and decepticons we are vehicons Optimus prime: vehicons? Obsidian: yes the future of cybertron Optimus prime: the future?
