Arachnid Champion · Thu Mar 01, 2007 10:33 am

What, a living Beast Wars site? With fanfics still being submitted, yet! Truly, there is a Primus.

Ahem. Anyway, I am the Arachnid Champion, so named because I champion the arachnids of the Beast Wars. Except Blackarachnia. I can't stand her, frankly. But Tarantulas is the slag (ahahahahaha) and Scorponok... has gotten the shortest end of the stick of any Beast Wars character. Even shorter than Transmutate's. I mean, people actually CARED when she(?) died. But no one even seemed to notice when Scorponok did... sheesh. A great deal of potential, wasted.

My primary interest at this time is fanfic writing, which I am rather new at. I will almost certainly post them here.

By the way, does anyone here watch Fullmetal Alchemist? One of my stories is a BW/FMA crossover, and it'd help if some people understood the FMA storyline.

Arachnid Champion · Thu Mar 01, 2007 12:48 pm

I suppose Quickstrike counts as an arachnid...

Nuts? Evil penguins? I've dealt with worse, trust me.

Welcome to the board, Arachnid Champion!

I noticed when Scorponok died.

He was a Soundwave wanna be so it was hard not to realize when Megatron had lost his most loyal minion. Poor, poor Scorponok. Although, I didn't care much for him and Terrorsaur. XD Not their fault, I'm just drawn to the good guys more.

^ One does not get more loyal than Inferno.

That aside, welcome to the boards AC! Consider this, Scorponok did us ALL a favor at the end. Not by dying, but by taking Terrorsaur down with him.

Terrorsaur's TM form is HIDEOUS. Small mercies...

Greetings, and welcome AC.
In the beginning I never saw when they died, but later when
I saw it is was a bit sad.
I cared, not because I liked him, but it's because he added to the humor.

Welcome to BW INT! I do believe we are the last (large) pure BW fan site still standing *grins* so the more authors to keep it alive, the better!

BW/FMA cross you say? Now THAT I would LOVE to see! *pictures Al pointing at the beast warrior*
Al: Look brother! Other people trapped in suits of armour!
Beast Warriors: Huh???

You want the ultimate tribute to Scorponok? Find just the right map of Canada, and look at the border of Quebec/Labrador. The outline will look *very* familiar...

Al: Look brother! Other people trapped in suits of armour!
Beast Warriors: Huh???

Something like that... Actually, the first interaction involves Quickstrike calling Ed short. Blows are only barely avoided. There's an OC created by someone whom I'm working with (she's "involved" with Greed, by the way), lots of Philospher's Stones, a nasty undead alchemist, and a very odd romance.

Greetings AC! Feel free to sample our flying sugary bounties

-ducks to avoid waffle-

Even shorter than Transmutate's. I mean, people actually CARED when she(?) died.

-jumps up and down-
Ooh! Ooh! I was one of those people!
It was so saaad, she'd only just begun her life before it was taken away. Even though she lasted for barely an episode she still had more of a personality than the weather-king Tigerhawk, who amassed a grand total of two and a half eps.
-the clear blue sky suddenly clouds over and a bolt of lightning zaps Lady O-
...0o -coughsootcough-

To be brutally honest Scorponok irritated me, along with Terrorsaur (why Starscream didn't possess him I'll never know), but at least the writers didn't follow their original plan and kill Waspinator instead. That would've been a great tradgety if everyone's favourite pinata had been liquified. There'd be no more Waspinator parts to collect, for example.
("Man, do you know how many pieces of Waspinator I got?").

Actually, I'm also working on my first fanfic. Although I don't know squat about FMA I'll be interested in reading the cross-over oddities that usually occur with...cross-overs.

...I really need to stop drinking Milo in the morning

G`day mate! #thud#

Weclome. Yes I too praised this allspark upon encountering this wonderful website and have Sapphire to thank for dragging my wayward soul into this forum. I have since continued my reign of terrrr.....rriffic advice and stories.... yes.... that`ll do

I enjoyed Scorpinok.... Soundwave? Kind of. Loyal? Endlessly so. I would have found it interesting to see how the group dynamic would have turned when Megatron started playing his little games and sending Inferno instead of Scorpinok on other missions. Perhaps some sibling rivalry? Who knows? In my opinion Scorpinok was a much more interesting character than Quickstrike. I much preferred the boneheaded, scientist to the slapstick cowboy. But the story it is and the story it shall stay. Anyhoo have fun and enjoy the site.
