There is a line in the Beast Wars cartoon in which Beast Wars Megatron calls the Autobots and Decepticons "archaic energon guzzlers" which is very interesting after learning that a resource shortage is part of the set up in Beast Wars Uprising.
Well a resource shortage among the Transformers was kinda the premise to Generation 1 cartoon
And I think he was referring /insulting the Autobot's
I seem to remember back in G1 the later years... that was one of the main reason for the Micro masters and Action Masters... The main cast lost their transforming ability and were MUCH smaller in order to become more 'energy efficient'. I also laugh at just popular Bumblebee somehow became when his original tech specs.. .the only thing he had going for him was he was fuel efficient :P
So yeah, I do kind of like that in the Beast Wars far far future, everyone is a lot smaller. Tied in nicely with the direction they were going in G1.
"Energon guzzlers" is a insult Micromasters use on bigger Transformers.
The reformatting from Autobots and Decepticons to Maximals and Predacons was specifically because the former were energy wasteful, so yes, it was the same meaning.
Huh. You know, the backstory here makes me realize, even in regular Beast Wars everyone on Cybertron would have all been the same smaller size as the main cast post-Great Upgrade. So even with vehicular forms, they'd be a bunch of Micromaster/Mini-con sized cars and jets and such. It's such an obvious fact that I feel kinda ridiculous for never even considering it before.
@Jaded Joker "There is no war in Ba Sing Se"
Actually I think there closer to Mini Bots
Bruh that is LITERALLY the first thing that came to my mind back when i had just learned of the micromasters' existence in the early 2000s :P
@Nexis Don’t feel too bad, I sometimes forget that myself.
I would love to see a animated series of this!
Me too

"Imperious Delirious" sounds more like a mad max villain.
Sounds like a certain you tuber, if only the imperious was actually an h20

Beast Wars Uprising deserves an animated series. Someone pitch it to Hasbro. It would make an excellent series plus any reason to sell new toys is a win win for both Hasbro and us fans.
Indeed
This version of Transmutate more than likely has autism. From TFWiki: “she suffered from a disconnect in her processors that prevented her from properly interpreting emotions and social cues”. She’s also a point one percenter.
this version of Transmutate is probably one of my favorite transformers ever.
I hope she hurts no more and that she has many true and kind friends. 🙏🥹
The comic version of Transmutate looks kinda like Prime Arcee...
You're right! The toy was a recolored version of the "First Edition" Prime Arcee figure. :)
And Jawbreaker used the Prime: Beast Hunters version of Ratchet.
Beast wars 2 galvatron or what ever he is, is prime beast hunters optimus prime
It is lmao
@@BasedVegeta It kinda fits him
"Ex-Bots"
"Isn't that a little derivative?"
"You're absolutely right."
I'm currently in the process of reading through the BWU stories and I'm loving them! But I didn't realize the culminating story was NOVEL LENGTH... I'm both excited and intimidated. Also, I laughed when you said Jim Sorenson was sponsoring the episode, hah. Paying someone to talk about a thing I wrote is something I'd do too tbh
3:09 Rampage is literally a recoloured TFP Cyberverse Megatron with a new head LOL
Not gonna lie.. I was binge watching your episodes before this popped out of no where
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
I really love this continuity, it’s just an absolute shame that it’s so underrated now these days
4:06
First Ratbat and now Eject?
Man, we really need to keep an eye on the mini - cassettes.
There needs to be a TV series
I love watching these episodes every Saturday, thanks so much man :)
Wow, I remember seeing Beast Wars Uprising, but never took a good look at it. Thank you for letting everyone know of this interesting series. I definitely will take a second look if given the chance.
I hope they release more stuff with rampage and transmutate i just love those two so much
"the hunger games"
laughs in DC's warworld and japanese battle royale.
and Running Man
Kamen Rider Ryuki too!
Something,
Something
Squid game
Let’s be fair, hunger games was the most well known version of this concept at the time.
My favorite part of BWU is how there's this one Micromaster who speaks entirely in Simpsons quotes.
Having FINALLY read through the entire saga for the first time, I can definitively say it is my favourite complete Transformers story ever.
Sorenson and Bishop's "blender" approach to the franchise is the ultimate expression of what I love about Transformers in general. Such a rich history of lore, characters, and concepts, constantly being added to and built upon, just waiting for someone to throw it all together, pick and choose and re-imagine it to create something truly special. Beast Wars Uprising is that something special.
I'm kinda glad nothing has been done with it since 2016 though. It's allowed to be a complete "thing" without other people feeling the need to messing with it. Unlike, say, Shattered Glass, what makes BWU so compelling isn't really the concept but the execution. The devil's in the detail and I feel like any writers other than Sorenson and Bishop wouldn't necessarily be able to deliver on what made it so great. I think if Hasbro were to latch onto the idea like they did for Shattered Glass, it might get kinda watered down. There's no way they'd commit to something this nakedly and radically political and so the concept would lose so much of what made it special.
also at 4:17 is it weird that I can tell the exact spot that photo of Jim was taken just by the background? I've only been to TFNation twice but that Hilton lobby really does stay with you.
They should collect all of these. I'd like to read them in physical form.
I would like to see a proper origin story for the main continuity Maximals and Predacons. Would love to see a new character called Maximus Prime who ushered in the change from Autobots and Decepticons
3:06 Aka. Transformers Prime First Edition deluxe Arcee & Megatron.
I enjoy this series so much im legitimatly frustrated that there isnt a new video daily. I understand why, and im not complaining. It just speaks to the quality of the show that i want more all the time
great episode, i didn't know about this, also, Imperious Delirious may be the most ridiculous Transformer name ever.
I LOVE beast wars uprising, it's one of my favourite transformers stories
Thanks for this. I've been a Transformers fan since the '90s, so I know just about everything there is to know about it. However, Beast Wars Uprising is one of the few continuities I know almost nothing about, despite my love of all things Beast Wars (as I said, TF fan since the '90s). I might go check it out further.
One of my favorite episodes of your series, Chris. I've actually started to try and find a way to get myself a Uprising Lio Convoy after discovering him through your work. Thank you and keep up the epicness, sir!
I had actually never heard of this comic series before this video, thaaank youu!
WonderCreek I feel the need to point out, BWU isn’t a comic series. There’s one comic, Alone Together, then a series of prose stories (which Chris linked to in the description.)
OH BOY, Jet-I mean Sky-I mean whateverthehellhescalledFire!
Ah yes the coolest transformer
Flamefire
I'm surprised they kept the name Lio Convoy. I would have thought they'd rename him Leo Primal or something to match the Western naming conventions.
I never even knew this existed! This has given me some new lore to dive into. Keep doing what you do!
Basics on Prowl
My 7 year old son and I enjoy watching these a lot. Thank you very much.😀
its odd that in beast wars uprising that the Autobots and Decepticons rely on the proto races (smaller cybertronians) to fight in the war yet it is confirmed by hot rod that normal sized cybertronians can become micromasters (which are basically the same size as maximals/predacons)
This was one of the most intriguing Basic videos. Sure I love all of the Basics, but most of the time I know most of the info, but this one not so much.
I can't wait till the next one, I am wondering if you are going to bring up the Macross/Robotech connection, and the issues with Harmony Gold.
Have no doubt! ;)
Azusa?
@@arbetor12 Yes, that is who is in my profile pic. Why the red hair you may ask. Back in 2010 when I first got a computer I was playing around with a paint app, than I needed to make a YT account, needed an image to use, and it was the first one that came up and was the right size. I didn't think to much about it, until a certain point that I just got so used to using it that now I don't have the heart to change it. Anyways, to answer your question, yes it is Azusa from K-on!, and yes she is one of my favorites from the series.
I like Transmutate of Beast Wars Uprising, I mean she look nice
Why am I so late to this? This whole story sounds incredible. I love alternate timeline/universe stories so this is right up my alley. 👀
I had no idea the Uprising universe had its origins so far back!
The beast wars uprising is a great concept it should have an animated series it would really be a good way to bring beast wars back to the big screen. I also love how the reinvented transmutant and I love the toy for uprising Rampage using TFP Megatron toy and remolding it is really fitting for Rampage. I never read any Beast Wars uprising comics but the idea is amazing
MyHeadCanon: when Predacon Megatron destroyed Optimus Prime to stop the Maximals existence Blackarchnia retaliated by destroying the original Megatron to stop the Predacons existence. The Vector Prime Council used the Power of their Multversal Omega Lock to Split that event into a new timeline. This new timeline was the Beast Wars uprising timeline where the Autobots and decepticons were forced off earth with the united forces of humanity and went back to Cybertron and continue to use more and more energy until they were so low that they lost mobility and were frozen as statues. The Micromasters and Cassette bots were able to keep their mobility and created the Proto-Races, the Maximals and Predacons a next Generation of Smaller, more energy efficient Cybertronians who could function in these energy stared times. The Maximals and Predacons were used as proxy armies to continue the war in their place, But as the Centuries passed the fighting withered away and a new society took shape it on the ruined stagnant planet. The Autobots and Decepticons allied to become planet’s ruling oligarchs, the builders the Micromasters as their enforcers and The Maximals and Predacons as a Civilian underclass kept in line by the games. The Games were Barbaric gladiatorial bloodsports in which the Builders periodically forced them to compete. A resistance led by Cheetor to fight against the builders and this corrupt society
Trivia
The Beast Wars uprising timeline is an alternate timeline of my Converged Continuity
The Beast Wars uprising timeline was made a separate timeline thanks to the Council of Vector Primes so the original timeline of Beast Wars is still preserved
There’s a link in the description to read the stories (not comics though)
I heard Mae Catt wanted to do a BW: Uprising version of Transmutate in Cyberverse which I would have liked to see. The fact she has the Transformer equivalent of autism is quite interesting and, while I doubt it could have been explored fully in Cyberverse's 10-minute time slot, could have been a good opportunity.
Gods I'm in love with this series of yours. I'm using it and RID 2 to get my nephews into Transformers shows
Not a big fan of the political influences of Uprising, but on the whole, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
My favorite part would have to be the clever reuses of pre-existing toy designs, Galvatron chief among them.
The expanded multiverse: H20 Delirous met transformers.
I'm just glad they're wasn't shoving political opinions down our throats

Glad you can consoom your plastic robot toys and not care about politics. Good for you, responsible citizen 👍
These are always such treats to watch, I can't wait for the (eventual) Wheeljack one
Somebody needs to repaint Beast Hunters Ratchet into Jawbreaker already.
Your vids are so professional how don't you have 10 million subs
This series is awesome! I really want read all of these
Beast Wars is my third favorite Transformers franchise following Transformers Animated and the IDW continuity since 2012. Any plans to do a "Basics" on any of the characters exclusive to the Beast Era?
Got one coming up either late March or early April as a sponsored episode, won't say who! ;) And the closer we get to Power of the Primes, the more likely an Optimus Primal episode becomes!
Chris McFeely cool. Thanks for letting me know.
I'm hoping it's Black Arachnia! Although I'm waiting for any episode about a femmebot, really.
Thank you for this awesome series btw! It's very impressive!
@@ChrisMcFeely beast wars and TransTechs are 10 times better then transformers will ever be.
THIS. CHANNEL. RULES.
Thanks for doing this man!
Beast Wars: Uprising along with Wings Universe stand out as the best universes that Fun Pub gave Transformers. Speaking of, maybe you should do a basics on Wings Universe. Although it might be kind of a short video. BTW, I have to ask, am I able to sponsor a specific topic for a video with a flat payment on Patreon or is it through monthly payments?
I love Transformers-related trivia.
I love the content! Keep up the great work!
I had never even heard of this before. Thanks for introducing me!
I really like this series, hope to see more
Very cool stuff I've been a huge fan of transformers since 1984, great video
I wished all of Beast Wars II episodes are all in english dubbed on RUclips or released onto Complete DVD collection just like the CGI original Beast Wars Series 1996.
Sweet vid there Chris keep them coming!
I am a big fan of Transformers Beast War like I said in your last video Transformer Beast War was my introduction to Transformers as a kid because of you I'm going to look this up I never heard of this thank you
My favorite media, no joke
I didn't expect this to be up so soon
Can you do a basic on the character Star Saber
Jim, you sly dog! Using your Patreon privileges to promote your own work. I'm on to your game!
At any rate, it's working. I love the AllSpark Almanacs and I've been hunting for some good Transformers prose. Hell, I'll probably end up checking out the other stories too.
romantiCaveman And Imma write the expense off on my taxes too!
This was way better than the Combiner video. I was worried about these Patreon reviews for a second
If Beast Wars Uprising takes place in 2010, the Autobots would be victorious
I actually wanna see those vehicle retools of Blackarachnia, Dinobot, and Botanica
It's cool is this Comic Sounds, I would love to see this animated
I can't see it ever even getting a proper comic not only due to obscurity but the subject matter would make it super difficult to approach. Tough to pitch anything with race politics
Awesome video. I try to collect all the FP comics. They all quite good.
Great stuff
It would be interesting to see if it could get continued. Maybe IDW could get interested enough to pick it up.
My favorite Versions of Transmutate and Rampage
These are great, but i think you should add a quiz at the end, u know make sure we've been listening
always wait for new episod in every week
With this episode featuring an evil repaint, how about a basics episode on all the different Nemesis Primes?
This is good idea
Thing is, I kinda don't understand why in this universe (and by extension in the original continuity too) both factions were still named Maximals and Predacons and retained animalistic names, even though they didn't turn into animals for the majority of its existence. But I still think I'm gonna read it all
I've wondered about this too but I think it has to do with them creating catchy names for the toys and not considering how it would make sense with the continuity. Same goes for the original names for the G1 factions: Autobots/Decepticons. They're ok for toys and even when the cartoon first came out, it was ok since it was meant for kids but once the franchise started developing a following with a deeper lore and an older fanbase, those names just sound too goofy too. Even the Bumblebee movie references this when Agent Burns mentions the name Decepticons as sounding too suspicious. And in an even funnier reference, watch Nostalgia Critic's review of the original G1 cartoon 3-part episode which points out that the Autobots were fighting another group called the Trustworthians before their conflict with the Decepticons so they didn't think they were evil at the time. 😆I like how in Japan, the Decepticons are called Destrons. That just sounds better to me.
Ohh, looking forward for next Saturday TF: The Basic about Jetfire..
This vid was handy "in nutshell" vid those that haven't get idea or haven't heard of BW: Uprising.
2022 addition: Few times had thought would BW: Uprising universe have potential for crossover fanfic, Builders spreading they corrupt rulings in to another realities.
Chris McFeely do you think you could do videos solely on Unicron and Primus respectively in the future? I think it would be an interesting set of videos.
Primus why!? This story is so sad! (Namely the Transmutate and Rampage story)
I hope the fun publication stuff can be collected some how.
Watching this video makes me wish someone would revive the beast wars concept as a new comic book and a cartoon.
Beast Wars is an awesome cartoon.
This was sweet 🎂
I would love A Beast Wars Uprising Animated Series.
Hey Chris, have you ever put any thought into what Transformer you would be or what you might Transform into?
I think I need a figure of the Decepticon imperious delirious. That name is enough for me to want the figure.
Wait so the deceptions AND autobots, made them fight to the death?!??!?
Can we please have a The Basics on Nova Prime?
Wow, Jim Sorenson's one of your Patreons? That's neat!
If anyone wants to read these stories head over to the TV Tropes page on Beast Wars Uprising, there are links to the stories, all completed.
And then they all were destroyed by a cosmically powered Starscream
You know, I think I will check this out
The games sounds familiar
*PROCEEDS TO HAVE VIETNAM FLASHBACKS OF MEGATRON KILLING CYBERTRONIANS IN THE PITS OF KAON*
They’re different though.
The Gladiatorial fights Megatron fought in the pits of Kaon were considered illegal, but those who participated in them did so of their own free will.
The Games of Beast Wars Uprising, on the other hand, were legal but the participants were forced to fight in them. All for the Builder’s amusement. It was very much like what the Quintessons used to do to Transformers in the G1 cartoon back when they ruled Cybertron.
@@Laserbeak316 oh well that's good to know. I guess
6:16 that bug bot look like Waspinator. Bug bot may not want Waspinator's face, as Waspinator's face means universe hate them.
I could get behind a series based off this story.
Imperious Delirious? Why does that sound like a Transformers-Mad Max crossover villain? Like, Immortan Joe and Imperious Delirious chase Imperator Furiosa and War Rig Optimus Prime to stop them from securing a new source of Energuzz?
I always wondered what the transformers would have looked like from beast wars in more cybertronian forms
Ah, FunPub. How gloriously mad they were.
Could you do TransTech next?
I don't want to pile straight into another Fun Pub continuity after doing this one, but after mentioning it on the Beast Era video, and having to carefully write around the complex specific of it when talking about Blackarachnia and Nightscream in this one, TransTech has definitely jumped up the list of topics I think I need to cover sooner rather than later!
I would love to see the basics on the nemesis
