Silverbolt, perhaps, but he made it pretty clear in the season 1 finale that he had planed ahead for Rhinox's treachery when using his spark for Tankor. Having just recently watched both Beast Wars and Beast Machines both for the first time, it showed a good bit of cunning on Megatron's part that he did indeed remember how Rhinox behaved when reprogrammed into a Predicon back in BW season 1, and actually planed around it.
I think it interesting that Obsidian refers Strika as his consort. Consort is another word for husband or wife. Basically, Strika and Obsidian are a couple or married.
actually, i don't think they really mention primus or the original primes in any of the beast wars/beast machines. I don't think they worship the same 'religion' if thats what you wanna call it. But they do seem to hold vector sigma in high regard.
@@jessicaprice308 Actually, Rhinox said and I quote "Primus help us all if that thing [Protoform X aka Rampage] survived." in the episode "Bad Spark" (S2 E8).
I’ve seen Obsidian and Strikah appear in comics and Strikah appear in animated but I feel like these two are key members of the “underutilized transformers characters” club
There are many underutilized characters that need another shot, such as Stratosphere, Lugnut, the RID 2001 Decepticon Commandos (Mega Octane, Movor, Armorhide, Ro-Tor and Rollbar), Skullgrin, and yes, Obsidian and Strika.
The greatest sin was Megatron not activating a Titan sized Cybertronian - like Megaplex or Trypticon --given the amount of time he had prior to the Maximals arrival, he could've easily. But then again, first rule of being a ruler - ensure loyalty above all else - be it loved or feared, but you can not be a ruler if you are the only subject
To be fair, we don't even know if those exist anymore. Maximals and Predacons were downsized because of the shortage of energon, so it's reasonable to think the titans may have been taken offline. A relic of Cybertronian history
Out of all the Megatron's beasts Wars/Machine it's the only Megatron that successfully accomplish his goal to rule. His failure is just like all villians he talk to much.
The transformations were so strange and... for lack of a better word to describe, grotesque.. it was so unnerving to see them transform from one mode to another .-.

Well Strika (in theory) looked like a pink robot seen in one of the "Five Faces of Darkness" parts of the original Transformers TV show. She was standing in front of a green, feminine-looking robot resembling Bumblebee that would later be revealed to be Glyph.
Obsidian and strika were great addition to the late stage of beast machines unlike the other general spark who were corrupted by megatron they act completely of their own free will because they are loyal to cybertron itself, not to a specific person and will take order from whoever is in charge of the planet, whether they have good or evil intentions.
It likely he corrupted them to a point. Megatron feared dark rhinox so he seal his memories and personality. The tanktor post awakening seem like the time rhinox was a predacon.
@@humangirl2122 Yeah it kinda was. Way too many disparate elements thrown into the same bowl. Couple that with the incredibly confusing opening that becomes downright nonsensical when you find out how it actually happened.

You forgot to show the part where Strika's cannon blast overwhelmed Nightscream's shout. Considering that Nightscream wrecked the giant Megatron head with the same attack, that's some damn impressive firepower from Strika. 5:01 Also, this is definitely one of Cheetor's shining moments across both BW _and_ BM.
Rattrap: "Oh man! We are duking it out with the Greatest Generals in Cybertronian History!" Could he be stated that they're the ones that overthrown the Quintessons?
Eh, they had to have been online when Megatron’s virus happened. Remember Megatron doesn’t have access to the Well of Allsparks, only the sparks of bots that were alive when his virus infected everyone
Ya it's like they wanted some "oh these guys are powerful old bots" yet.. never had any backstory... imagine if they had names that were from the g1 cartoons, then.. an actual impact
To be fair, Beast Wars and Beast Machines take place in the future. It's not unlikely that Obsidian and Strika became the greatest generals in Cybertronian history much later after G1. As a matter of fact there was had to be a eon long gap between G1 and BW and BM since by the time of BW, Cybertroians had taken on much smaller body types to save on energon ,so that gives plenty of time to allow Obsidian and Strika to become incredibly well known.
It would be interesting if Nightscream appear on Transformers: War For Cybertron Trilogy - Kingdom and he takes Optimus Primal's unused Bat robot/beast form as his own robot/beast mode.
that's because she thought he had silverbolt's until later she found out that he was holding waspinator's spark then found out jetstorm was holding silverbolt's spark.

Destiny Heero Prime They already explained why in beast machines. Megatron had there sparks and placed them into new vehicon bodies. Obsidian and strika’s goal was always to protect cybertron even before becoming vehicons since they were always known as cybertron’s greatest generals. And since megatron became cybertron itself in the show they decided serve under his command to wipe out the maximals.

Como curiosidad strika aparecio tiempo despues en transformers animated reutilizando su diseño tal y como ocurrio con cheetor,blackarachnia,rattletrap y waspinator
Blackarachnia en sí su diseño lo veo como una mezcla entre su primera forma de beast wars y los colores un poco en su versión transmetal,aunque para la cancelada 3ra temporada de animated iba a tener sus colores originales. Igual no olvides a jetstorm q ocuparon sus colores y cara de bm solo cambiaron de cuerpo para ser el hermano gemelo de jetfire. Con waspinator literal lo hicieron más mamado y un poco aterrador pero igual de estúpido
Maybe the Maximals and Predacons had a war of their own after the Autobot/Decepticon War, resulting in the rise of Obsidian and Strika before the events of Beast Wars?
It’d be hard to retrieve their sparks from the lava, don’t you think? Terrorsaur and Scorponok should’ve had more screen time and more episodes. Plus, I’ve always been curious to see how Scorponok would’ve looked as a Transmetal.
@@humangirl2122 I was talking about the Aero Drones that was lead by Jetstorm (who had Silverbolt's Spark) and the Tank Drones lead by Tankor (who had Rhinox's Spark) and Megatron should have use Inferno and Quickstrike's Sparks to create a new Jetstorm and Tankor. The drones commanded by Strika are the Artillery Drones not the Tank Drones and when a Transformer dies, his/her Spark leaves his/her body and heads back to Cybertron and is store in the Spark Chamber.

And since megatron became cybertron itself in the show they decided serve under his command to wipe out the maximals. I do understand we still don’t know much about there past but I doubt we will find out more anytime soon.
Man, Obsidian sounds like he was voiced by Steve Blum.
He is actually voiced by Paul Dobson.
"Terminate", "Obliterate", "EXTERMINATE!!!!!" I am sorry for bringing Dr. Who into this, but come on! These guys were asking for that joke. even if it was for a short time and they where doing it to fool primal and his friends
It was made by Canadians, so I doubt they even knew about Doctor Who.
The vehicons where the only good things about this show
disagree
Same.
The Maximal's were good too.Their new look's were just fine the way they were.
God damit go away bunny
Do not be so mean to Human Girl!
Well, those two are good enough. But transformation time is longer.
its my cannon thrust was able to succeed because he made his body into a mansion for waspinator, and thats why he was so happy with it
Cool transformations
@3:38 And more importantly, if it looks like you have the 'cons on the run, then 19 out of 20 times it is likely a trap.
2:14 TERMINATE!!!
2:02 OBLITERATE!!!
Wait wait where did they got from Doctor Who
Poor Waspinator.
Como curiosidad strika aparecio tiempo despues en transformers animated reutilizando su diseño tal y como ocurrio con cheetor,blackarachnia,rattletrap y waspinator
Blackarachnia en sí su diseño lo veo como una mezcla entre su primera forma de beast wars y los colores un poco en su versión transmetal,aunque para la cancelada 3ra temporada de animated iba a tener sus colores originales. Igual no olvides a jetstorm q ocuparon sus colores y cara de bm solo cambiaron de cuerpo para ser el hermano gemelo de jetfire. Con waspinator literal lo hicieron más mamado y un poco aterrador pero igual de estúpido
When Obsidian talked about defending Cybertron, I legit thought they would reveal his spark belonged to Shockwave.
Greatest generals in Cybertronian history, MY ASS!
your ass
HAH
Maybe the Maximals and Predacons had a war of their own after the Autobot/Decepticon War, resulting in the rise of Obsidian and Strika before the events of Beast Wars?
The two floating in space like kars
4:06 animation error there
The show had a lot of animation errors.
Oh yeah....its a "3D" tv 🤣
shadowtrooper 262 of course it’s a 3D tv our reality has 3 dimensions
Some say they're still floating in orbit
I don't remember any of that. I guess I'll have to rewatch that series.
I wish some vehicons Characters have scorponok & Terrorsaur spark .
It’d be hard to retrieve their sparks from the lava, don’t you think? Terrorsaur and Scorponok should’ve had more screen time and more episodes.
Plus, I’ve always been curious to see how Scorponok would’ve looked as a Transmetal.
@@TheRisingStorm316 here ya go tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/thumb/8/83/BWtoy-ScorponokMega.jpg/300px-BWtoy-ScorponokMega.jpg
Both of them are dead. Their sparks were extinguished when they fell into the lava
These two...we can say they were...permanently sizzling.
Obliterate, Terminate... Oh, I see how this is going. Reminds me of the Daleks shouting, "Exterminate."
They probably have the most complex transformation sequences
They probably have the most complex transformations in the franchise
I wonder what happened to those 2 when Cybertron reformatted?
I doubt it
6 against 1 no one can win against those odds
It's funny in my head; for two of the greatest historical Generals, neither Obsidian or Strika saw the Anti-grav corpse launch to orbit coming.
Terminate!
Obliterate!
*while watching with a plate of pizza rolls
EMASTICATE!!
DINNERATE!!
Obsidian from steven universes name has been used in tfbm (transformers beast machines)
Sun Tzu would like to have a word with you
Megatron should have also use two additional stolen Sparks for an Aero Drone and a Tank Drone, creating a new Jetstorm and Tankor.
@@icyboi1382 What if Megatron use the two additional Sparks of Inferno and Quickstrike for an Aero Drone and a Tank Drone.
@@jamethong8005 Inferno and Quickstrike were blown up by the nemesis back in Beast Wars.Also Strika is a girl
@@humangirl2122 I was talking about the Aero Drones that was lead by Jetstorm (who had Silverbolt's Spark) and the Tank Drones lead by Tankor (who had Rhinox's Spark) and Megatron should have use Inferno and Quickstrike's Sparks to create a new Jetstorm and Tankor. The drones commanded by Strika are the Artillery Drones not the Tank Drones and when a Transformer dies, his/her Spark leaves his/her body and heads back to Cybertron and is store in the Spark Chamber.
@@jamethong8005 The Transformers on Cybertron didn't die. their spark's extracted by Megatron.Even Cybertron has it's own heaven and hell so Quickstrike and Inferno's spark's are in the pit which is Cybertron's own hell.
@@jamethong8005 Inferno and Quickstrike's Spark's have been destroyed.
Why does motorbike waspinator not refer to himself in the third person?
Strika was renamed Alphastrike in Cyberverse Strika also appeared in transformers animeted
Those two remind me of giga and mega for some reason.
Now that you mentioned it, I can kind of see that.
Ironic considering the Vehicons would probably despise them for their recruitment of humans and use of pretender shell technology.
@@hesiod_delta9209 that is true
@@TheRisingStorm316 it’s pretty hard not too both are part of a different version of decepticons and both are husband and wife according to the wiki
BADASS~
Headcannon
Strika and Obsidian are Scoponok and Terrorsaur
Yaa if g1 prime was there hed say you must be stopped at all costs predacon

Just when I thought Obsidian looked cool I noticed he has stupid looking propellers on his shoulders
I found it stupid is that his toy could launch his propellers like missles.
Shadow and Yu I
I find his long wired fingers weirder.
well,he is a helicopter.
not those things that look like Mouse ears on his head?
