Summary:
The Nemesis was shooting
at Optimal Optimus and Tigerhawk now that it had arose from the
ocean. After continuous efforts of stopping the ship, Tigerhawk
told Optimus to head back to base a prepare the other Maximals
(who were now working on Operation: Eternity, which was to prepare
to move the Ark) while he held off the mighty ship.
Meanwhile, DinoBot was beginning to feel that his
spark was whole, which was due to the destruction of Rampage (I
doubt it but anyways). Megatron, not caring about how DinoBot
felt, prepared to use all weapons until Tigerhawk used his powers
to manipulate the weather and shut down all power in the Nemesis.
Megatron was able to use the main fire cannon to blast the Maximal
god and destroy him.
Now aware that he lost another comrade, Optimus swore
to Megatron that no one else of the Maximals would lose their
lives for his twisted ambition.
Inferno and Quickstrike had sent the Proto Humans
running away from their own village. All that was left was the
leader, who was wielding his trusty weapon when the Nemisis rose
in the above the valley. DinoBot sensed that the weapon and how
the human was wielding it seemed hauntingly familiar. Megatron,
disappointed that the human wasn’t bowing down to his ‘godly’
power prepared to fire on him but DinoBot stopped him. After remembering
his place he apologized and stated that the Nemesis would be used
of a more sufficient reason. Megatron ignored his suggestion and
fired anyway, killing Inferno and Quickstrike and missing the
Proto human, who had jumped into a near by gap.
When the Nemesis finally reached the Maximal base,
it’s weapon power was only 45% so Megatron activated the protractor
beam, lifting everything up in it’s light. Furious at the Tyrant’s
ambitions, Optimus flew into the Nemesis and began to fight Megatron
while Rhinox and Blackarachnia continued to get enough power to
start the Ark’s engines and move it away from the blast. The Maximal
Commander took a heavy beating from Megatron while DinoBot stood
idle and watched, seeing how he wouldn’t back down. The Ark was
able to move about half a centimetre when the connector (Rattrap’s
tail whip) Blackarachnia used to fuse Teletran One and the engines
together burned out.
Optimus was down, the Maximal’s attempt to move the
Ark had failed and the weapon’s power was up 100%. Megatron was
sure to be victorious. DinoBot didn’t feel that the victory was
worthy enough so he downloaded a file to the Ark. That file turned
out to be information on an Autobot escape ship that was hidden
inside.
When Megatron ordered DinoBot to fire, he refused,
which surprised the Tyrant because he hadn’t given DinoBot any
memories about the meaning of honor or his friendship with the
Maximals. He ended up throwing DinoBot out of the way and prepared
to fire on the Ark but noticed the Autobot escape ship flying
towards him with Rhinox driving. The ship slammed into the Nemesis
and came out the other side with Megatron on the windshield. Optimus
tried to convince DinoBot to save himself but all he did was say
‘farewell’ and salute before his side exploded. Optimus escaped
the Nemesis and he and his comrades watched as if landed back
in the water as the sun rose from the east.
After returning the original Megatron’s spark to
its rightful owner (a scene that was emitted from the episode),
the Maximals used the escape ship and flew away from prehistoric
Earth while contemplating on what happened and how glad they were
to be headed home, while Megatron had a different view on the
ride home to Cybertron.
…Oh
and as for Waspinator, well in his own words: he was happy at
last.
Author’s
Review: The
episode was ok. It seemed a little rushed at the end to me. It
would’ve been good if they had made a third part to the series
finale but since Hasbro and Mainframe Productions are so cheep…
well I guess that’s why they didn’t show how DinoBot was able
to remember his own past (A.K.A the episode Dark Glass).
All I can say about Tigerhawk’s death is that he
should’ve been in the show at least a little longer. I would’ve
been nice to see the full extent of his powers, I mean come on.
He was there shorter than Ravage for crying out loud and Ravage
had a cool death.
The fight between Optimus and Megatron could’ve been
better, although I’m not really complaining. I liked how the hero
(Optimus) wasn’t able to beat the villain (Megatron). Not to mention
that it was pretty ironic that both of them had read the covenant
of Primus and knew quotes from the book.
Quickstrike and Inferno both could’ve had better
deaths even though I personally don’t know how else it could’ve
been done.
It would’ve also been nice to actually see the missing
scene in Nemesis Pt 2 without having to download it on your computer
to see it. Maybe then people wouldn’t have sent so many letters
to one of the main writers of Beast Machines trying to find out.
Enough of my ranting, I’ll get to a complement of
the episode.
I am very glad that Waspinator finally found happiness
with the Proto humans. Beast Wars is all in all a great series
full of surprises, drama, humor and unexpected twists.
This
episode was good but it can be improved… that’s what RPGs are
for. ^______^
