And I haven't seen that episode since I was a kid.

Can I just say, I forgot how bad CGI was back then. But still, it had the same magic it used to have when I was little. Dinobot riding tarantulas was priceless, as was Megatron's line about how useless a stick was before being severely injured by a stick and a rock.

Ugh... I miss that show haha. And of course, I have to say, Dinobot is one hell of a slagmaking lizard.

I love when Dinobot and Tarantulas bicker for a moment.

"You'll pay for this lizard!"

"Shut-up and accelerate!" Haha, priceless indeed, I agree.

"Oh Dinobot, a stick...?" Well I guess a stick is a dangerous weapon there's Megs. So ha! lol, I still never got how, the rock and the stick were combined together to make that weapon. Said weapon, which the early humans later use as one of their weapon...

That episode is an emotional one for many. Not just Dinobot fans, but for others as well. I cry, well now it's start tears in my eye, before when I was a kid, it was bawling. As well as when Rampage and Depth Charge die. Emotional and yet oh so powerful!

I think the top of the rock was pointed and it stabbed the stick... Maybe??

"Preferably downwind from you vermin..."

haha... wish he could've been a good transmetal...

I remember the Depthcharge death too. Ugh... so saddd...

And since I was a Terrorsaur fan i bawled when he died too lol. Man... what happened to the 90s?...

I have no idea, what happened to the 90's. I guess time just had to pass by, and continue and move on. :(

Poor Scorpy and Terrorsaur, they didn't have a chance. Hearing them scream, as they smashed into each other, and fell to there death.

"He lived a warrior, and died a hero." That does wrap up Dinobot very well. You could tell that everyone was emotional, of course Rattrap the most. They had a love-hate relationship, duh!

I wonder what all the Preds thought of his death? I'm sure none were upset, but still what kind of thoughts were racing through their mind? As well as with any Maximal or Predacon death, not just the raptors. :?:

I dunno... Maybe waspinator felt bad... but the rest were probably happy.

And yes, everyone knows the Dinobot-Rattrap relationship. Mainly because of the car scene when Dinobot rode rattrap into battle lol.

I can answer that, before he lept towards Megatron, Dinobot slammed the stick as hard as he could onto a nearby rock so he could lodge them together, suffice to say it worked. *thumbs up* And he did say "Improvise" one of the sweetest words in the human dictionary, aside from Default that is...

Yeah I know what you are talking, I don't have a problem with the CGI since it was the ninties and Beast wars was probably the first show to use that kind of stuff.

I think its because its like a milestone in my childhood memories... that it can do no wrong. I wouldn't care if Cheetor was supposed to be a cheetah, but looked like a mammoth. It would still have the same effect it used to have haha.

I honestly think Code of Hero is not only one of the best episodes in Transformers history--but very well one of the best episodes in animation history, period.

A fan favorite character, making the ultimate sacrifice to stop the evil villains from destroying humanity before it had even begun? Priceless.

And so beautifully executed too... :o

I agree haha. I just started watching beast machines (I'd never seen it before...) And before I agree to everyone saying that its garbage, I'll have to figure out why... But the graphics are nice and the storyline could be a whole lot worse...

The only reason I can think of for that is: How do you transform an awesome plant into an awesome fighting plant?

That's probably why she didn't have a toy...
