This story has an element of The Italian Job behind it. Except Megs double crossed the doubler crosser. Cryotek did SO not see that coming. He tried to play Megs but Megs played him
Beast wars really needs a prequel series. I can imagine a season of Rampage wrecking havoc on cybertron. Or watching Cryotek running a criminal enterprise and recruiting a group of thugs to steal the golden disc. Maybe throw some of the maximals in there somewhere. This needs to happen.
I'd love to see a revival series with modern animation and graphics... would be fantastic... but the original will probably always be the best because it is a classic.
RIP Brad Venable. I had no idea he was in this, and only because of his passing did I find myself coming here to watch this (for the first time). What an irreplaceable talent gone way too soon.
If this gets redone graphic wise I'd make them close to protoforms in frame.Not as frail but a good design form.Just due to the fact that the clunky look makes it hard to believe they easily assumed the beast forms correctly.
Very entertaining! A great piece that tells the first chapter in what is perhaps the best Transformers story of all time! I can't believe there are a few who have the balls to complain about the efforts of all involved- from what I can gather this was a straight labour of love, and it didn't cost any of us a cent to watch. I thought it was very good! Your hard work and talent is appreciated by all true TF fans, I'm sure :D
It had the old 3D animation feel to it which I liked. As crude as it may have been, it really got me thinking that it was a sorta pilot episode to the Beast Wars.
I loved it, Beast wars and Beast Machines was the greatest transformers story ever told and it all connected with G1 making it all the better, This is a worthy addition, Great job Im super impressed
@@thegreyjedi2372He appears in the prequel comic, he was originally part of the Maximal team but was injured, and placed into a stasis pod to recover.
This would've been a great inclusion into the actual Beast Wars cartoon. It would lend tons of interesting backstory to the Maximals and Predacons, very similarly to what the G1 Transformers cartoon did for the Autobots and Decepticons.
Megatron, Dinobot, Waspinator, Scorpinark (If I Spelt His Name Right), Terrosaur and Tarantulas back when it all Started Yeeesss. God Bless You David Kaye!
Those Armada designs look SOOOO much better done in 90s Mainstream CGI style; great work- you do justice to the source material that the original producers just couldn't
He did start doing it again as the show went on. Having the Maximals around again seemed to have made Megatron return to his original personality. By the end of BM he was in full classic Beast Megatron mode.
@@munchjrgames942 I think I read somewhere (or hallucinated) that Dinobot's Cybertron name was Dynamo, and in at least one continuity Tarantulas was Mesothulas.
(From tfwiki) "Theft of the Golden Disc" began life as a dialogue-less fan animation by Trent Troop and Kristen Maxwell posted to RUclips on May 9, 2006. The finished, canon remake was originally shown at Sunday, July 1, 2007, at the BotCon 2007 "Collectors' Club" panel. It premiered online on January 8, 2008.
What I loved about Beast Wars was the Protoform concept. I would loved to see them shed their vehicle forms to go back to Protoform when they board the Darksyde.
Except they still had their vehicle forms when they crashed on Earth. They simply re-scanned and used the CR chambers/CR tanks to reformat themselves. Protoforms are like children; they're the earliest stage of Cybertronian life, and usually don't have anything fully developed.
Cryotek, Deathsaurus, Magmatron(Beast Wars Neo), BW2 Galvatron and Gigatron(RID 2001 Megatron who I consider a different character) are characters I love to see return in a future series. I know Cryotek was only a mentor of Megatron and not a Predacon leader but still being above Megatron in rank makes a big impression.
I don't know when this video was made, but the toy for Dinobot seen here is from Botcon 2006. I almost went to it, but I was in high school with no money.
Megatron and Waspinator are also based off their BotCon toys. Everyone else just uses scanned-in models of UT-era toys that weren't made into actual figures. Would make some great customs however...
The other disk was of alien origin. Megatron and the Preds stole this one on Cybertron - the other was discovered in a volcano by Inferno in... "Before the Storm," I think, in season one.
Considering the second disk was found on prehistoric Earth and wasn't of Cybertronian origin, there was no way ANY Predacon, or Maximal for that matter, could have known about it.
I wish this could of been the first 2 episodes of the beast wars transformers s1 to give an explanation how Optimus got 3 other maximals to chase megaton after he stole the golden disk great animation
Excellent work! For those naysayers... for crying out loud, it's not pros doing this. Enjoy it for what it is--a nice addition to the Beast Wars story that we wouldn't have at all if those behind this didn't put their own blood sweat and tears into it.
Would have been a million times better if Scott McNeil had been involved (that way Dinobot would not only be AWESOME(!) but also get some speaking lines!). Still, very good piece that adds more background to the Beast Wars series. A must for any fan!!!
At 5:18, there seems to be a virtual blueprint for the vehicon thrust. So did Megatron steal these data from Cryotek upon coming back to Cybertron to create the Vehicons? It would also explain how he got the robot servant. I know that he did steal the freezing transformation virus from Cryotek.
Not that I'll get a response, but this was made by a small team trying to emulate the animation style of the show that came out when CGI was much younger in television shows, not an official Hasbro show.

+flyinglizard007 I always wanted to see the maximals in their "naked" robot forms, before they took on the characteristics of animals
I'd settle for a comic book that leads into the series
garganrose yes!
+Rhig Ganomie there is a comic strip sequel to this which features just that.

It sucks that Scott McNeil didn't lend his voice for this. I would have liked to hear Dinobot and Waspinator speak.

If I were to make a Beast Wars game today where you have both a Maximal and Predacon campaign, this is how I would start the Predacon story.
It had the old 3D animation feel to it which I liked. As crude as it may have been, it really got me thinking that it was a sorta pilot episode to the Beast Wars.
This is fantastic. An outstanding prequel to Beast Wars.
I really wish they could have gotten Scott to be a part of this. Would have loved a bit of banter from Dinobot and Waspinator
I loved it, Beast wars and Beast Machines was the greatest transformers story ever told and it all connected with G1 making it all the better, This is a worthy addition, Great job Im super impressed
"I wish to speak to my lawyer" good one for a mob boss.
Huh, that bot at 2:28, the one whose blaster Terrorsaur had used to kill Buzzbomb, looks like a pre-Beast Wars Tigatron. I just noticed that now.
It is Tigatron. There was a convention exclusive toy of it.
@@windsweeper8002 Wait, how can it be Tigatron? He was ‘born’, for lack of a better word, on Earth.
@@thegreyjedi2372He appears in the prequel comic, he was originally part of the Maximal team but was injured, and placed into a stasis pod to recover.
2:35 looks like this "type" of transformation was used to create upgraded Red Alert in "Transformers Cybertron"
The Megatron toy was a repaint of Cybertron Red Alert with a new head.
Dinobot is being a badass scaling buildings like that.
This would've been a great inclusion into the actual Beast Wars cartoon. It would lend tons of interesting backstory to the Maximals and Predacons, very similarly to what the G1 Transformers cartoon did for the Autobots and Decepticons.
Megatron, Dinobot, Waspinator, Scorpinark (If I Spelt His Name Right), Terrosaur and Tarantulas back when it all Started Yeeesss.

Those Armada designs look SOOOO much better done in 90s Mainstream CGI style; great work- you do justice to the source material that the original producers just couldn't
This is official, btw.
And this isn't Armada, it's Beast Wars.
A S R He's talking about the some of the molds the character models are using. They used G2, Armada, Energon and Cybertron figures for the bases.
Which their molds fit quite well. Glad some became figures in 2006 botcon
they should create the prequel of beast wars
I think they already did in the comics
DPWheartscream That's what this is.
they did make a prequel for beast wars. it's the entire g1 series.
@@marcusbullock630 with end with robot in disguise aka car robot 2000 or 2001

3:34 Aw yeah! Dinobot is a true warrior. A defector, but still a warrior who never abandons his honour.
LOL! If you watch to the end you hear him ask for his lawyer and then Tarantulas laughs...
That insane bot would make a kickass lawyer.
Cyrotek: "I wish to speak to my lawyer."
Maybe terrorsaur's original name was Terrorsoar
That would make sense despite it sounding the same
@@munchjrgames942 I think I read somewhere (or hallucinated) that Dinobot's Cybertron name was Dynamo, and in at least one continuity Tarantulas was Mesothulas.

2:27 Is the teal and white guy Tigatron?
Yes he also showed up in the prequel comic, he was part of the original team but was injured and placed into a stasis pod to recover.
Its created 13 years ago..but still fun to watch..
5:45 That's why you don't double-cross a double-crosser because then you get all crossed up.
Better animation than Foodfight.
Better story too.
LA W I agree with you there.
Oceans Eleven Transformers style.
kira64 Without the humour though.
Will Stanley True. I don't know why I said that, it was just the first thing that popped into my head upon seeing this.
are they the same voice actors as in Beast Wars, if not Megatron's voice actor is GREAT sounds just like him
That is David Kaye as Megatron, and at 2:10 Alec Willows as Tarantulas.

Apparently Cryotek didn't know about the other yet, nor did the other Predacons.
@isantamies2 Scorpinok was the boat guy that Backslash referred to as "clamps".
Is this a remake, I don't remember this
well if you notice in part one Cryotek has a diagnostic droid from Beast Machines hovering around him.
not the same desine from the beast machines anime
I wonder what happened to Cryotek in Beast Machines?
Probably the same thing that happened to every other Maximal and Predacon.
is this video real?
Wow. This is amazing.
Rest in Peace - Brad Venable (Voice of Cryotek and Scorponok)
is the purple and gold dude supposed to be the protoform for dinobot?
flatterbuckle7. That's Dinobot pre-beast form
Is it just me, or does Dinobot look like a retool of Armada Hoist?
In the series though there weren't many ancient decepticons hanging around. Just ravage :P
if they have vehicle forms then how come theyre called Maximals and Predicons and when was this made?
prior two botcon 2006
6:00 WHAT?! THE FATES ARE HERE AND YOU DIDN'T TO TELL ME?!
Never heard of this. It just by youtube rando suggestion that I ever found it. Its pretty clunky but seems to put some story in before the Beast Wars.
It's clunky because it's a fan made video made for a Hasbro convention, and it seems they liked it so much that they decided to canonize this
thanks, i was really confused
Good point.
I wonder what happened to Kriotech megatron boss did megatron kill him before beast machines or did he escape?
I wonder what Dinobot was called before he actually became a dinosaur?
why did terrasuar kill buzzbomb
backslash was kinda necessary but i wish buzzbomb could have lived
+sean “nightwolf” hernandez Well, on TFWiki, it says that Buzzbomb was one of Cryotek's lackeys. No witnesses, I suppose.

Okay. ^^
wait this contained scorponok WHERE!?
