First mention of the Matrix in Beast Wars. The Matrix can have one of three meanings: 1) A referance to the Matrix of Leadership, first seen in Transformers: The Movie 2) The mystical place where all Transformer sparks go and originate 3) The foundary where Maximal protoforms come from. (edit)

Cheetor: What're you doin'?
Tigatron: You always say what a swingin' cat you are, so start swinging! (edit) (Referring to his tail)
Cheetor: I knew that was good for something, other than swattin' flies. (edit) Trapped at Predacon HQ
Cheetor: Whoa, talk about your nightmares.
Megatron: Your nightmares are just beginning, Maximal, unless you tell me about this signal array Optimus is building.
Cheetor: Why don't you ask him yourself, Mega-dumb? (edit) Rattrap and Tarantulas: "Don't cats ever get tired of being stupid?" (edit)

Right after Optimus is hit by the Transformation Lock Lense the claws on Megatron's feet are missing. (edit) It was quite untactical (is that a word?) for Rhinox to count on a single punch disarming Megatron. Apparantly Optimus and Dinobot are the only strategic minds on the team. (edit) When Dinobot fires his green laser eyes at Terrorsaur his eyes don't turn green like normal, instead he just shoots green laser beams through his red eyes. (edit)

Transformation Lock Lens
Tarantulas' transformation lock lens functions in a similar manner to the device the Decepticons used in the original Transformers episode "The Autobot Run". (edit)
