Beast Wars

Waspinator and Rhinox are the only two Transformers to go from the first episode to the last without ever becoming mutated or being killed off.

Another scene that was animated but cut was a brief scene showing Optimal Optimus tearing a transwarp cell from the Nemesis; he can be seen carrying the cell as he flies out of the exploding ship. This would have explained why the Autobot shuttle - built before the advent of transwarp - was able to jump through time. If you look closely in one of the last scenes, you can see Rhinox standing by a piece of equipment with the Predacon insignia on it.

The infamous "deleted scene" of G1 Megatron's spark being returned to its rightful vessel is included in the Third Season DVD set from Rhino Video, though the copy is of relatively poor quality.

Also, Waspinator becomes leader of the prehistoric-humans.

Tigerhawk, Quickstrike, Inferno and Dinobot(II) die in this episode.

For someone who got slagged a lot during the shows, Waspinator was the only Predacon (other than Megatron) to survive the Beast Wars.

The series finale.

The original plot for this episode was that the Decepticons Thrust, Dirge and Ramjet (from the original Transformers series) would be found in stasis aboard the Nemesis and reactivated. The Maximals would get the Ark airborne, and engaged the Decepticons and the Nemesis in a final aerial battle - but none of it was possible due to time and money constraints.

The writer of this episode, Simon Furman, is considered one of the greatest writers involved with the original Transformers, having written the UK Transformers comic and the closing run of the US comic.
