I'll get the ball rolling...

Q: Name any Maximal who does NOT transform into a mammal, bird or dinosaur.

[Blazemane]

Blackarachnia.

[Night-Hunter]

Airrazor.

[NaitoKage]

Not a bird, mammal or Dinosaur eh? Clawjaw.

[starshadow]

Cohrada.

[Wicked Woman]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Depth Charge. I'm probably wrong though.

Except for Airazor, all of those answers are correct - although Blazemane posted a valid correct answer first so 1 point to Blazemane and it's also his/her turn to now ask the next question. I must say that I wasn't expecting "Blackarachnia" because I always think of her as a Predacon - but of course, her allegiance became ambiguous when she became a Transmetal 2, and in Beast Machines she was a Maximal proper. That's a nice way to think outside the Energon Cube.

[Blazemane]

Name any Maximal who lived on Cybertron while the Beast Wars were taking place.

P.S. "Taking place" might technically be bad word choice since the Beast Wars took place in Earth's past, but I mean... Cybertron, circa 2300 A.D.- who was there?

[GoktimusPrime]

Bomber Bill. :p Just kidding... one rule I didn't mention before is that once you've posted a question then you're not allowed to attempt to answer the next question. So since I asked the last question before Blazemane's, I'm not allowed to answer this one. This prevents the game from being 'hogged' by know-it-alls (like me :p) and gives more people a chance to play. I've editted the first post to include this new rule.

[Alak]

Magnaboss

[starshadow]

Blazemane: as the poster of the last question you are obliged to check up on this thread within 24 hours of posting your question to confirm if participants' answers are correct or not and to announce a winner. :/ If anyone is not willing to do this when they win a point, then you are able to pass your turn which means it's open to anyone to post the next question. Passing a turn will not effect your score, you will still win a point for answering a question correctly.

*puts on referee's hat*

Alak: There are two Magnabosses, the one that's comprised of former-Autobots Prowl, Silverbolt and Ironhide (members of the Maximal Imperium), and the other comprised of Lio Junior, Santon and Skywarp. The former would be correct whereas the latter would be incorrect as "Magnaboss II" was on planet Gaea. But let's give you the benefit of the doubt and say you meant the former.

starshadow: Stampy was off-world for a considerable part of the Beast Wars travelling to pre-historic Earth as a member of Lio Convoy's pack, then off-world with Big Convoy's crew. He did return to Cybertron after Vector Sigma was possessed by Unicron and fought in the battle to liberate Cybertron. But I'd say that for the most part, he was off-world so I wouldn't count that. Blazemane's question said "lived" on Cybertron for the 'duration' of the Beast Wars, but Stampy spent most of that 'time' onboard Big Convoy's ship whose name eludes me atm... (I'll remember it later :p)

Wicked Woman: I like your answer the best. It's fully correct and it's not as ambiguous as "Magnaboss," but since I've decided to be nice and give Alak the benefit of the doubt, it technically means that s/he submitted a correct answer before you unfortunately. But keep trying!

Score:
Blazemane: 1 point
Alak: 1 point

-------------

Now Alak may choose to either post a new question or pass his turn which means it will be open for anyone to post a question (wait for Alak to decide first though!)

[Alak]

Yes, I meant the one on the high council.

Next question: Aside from those with forms of stereos and automobiles, which Transformers (any faction) can play music?

[Blazemane]

*Slaps forehead*

I'd been thinking about this earlier today, and then told myself- nope I have to wait longer to get the full 24 hours in. But... then, as you can see, I forgot.

For what it's worth, my question never specified the duration of the living on Cybertron- if Stampy lived there at all during that time (I wouldn't count living as just going to Cybertron to fight Unicron, but did any fictional material specify where he lived before he boarded the Gung Ho? It seems like, if that ship was stationed on Cybertron before it took off with Big Convoy and his group, it could be fairly guessed that that was where Stampy lived), I could see a case for Starshadow being right.

Of course, Alak answered first, so the point goes to him,
