‘Beast Wars’ Review #9 – ‘Gorilla Warfare’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

It’s time to check out ‘Gorilla Warfare’. And no, that’s not the ‘Dad’s Army’ episode of the same name. 😀 It’s the ninth ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ story as well as the tenth episode in the series. In the episode, Optimus Primal and Dinobot get attacked by Scorponok who fires a Cyberbee on Optimus, which attaches itself to his chest and makes him go berserk like the Incredible Hulk. 😀 I saw this episode in the half-term week of October 1998, but sadly didn’t get to record it on VHS. I later owned the episode in ‘The Beginning’, Volume 2 VHS as well as in the 15th anniversary ‘Beast Wars’ DVD box set. Will the Maximals get to save Optimus in this episode? Continue reading

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Here we are on the eighth ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ story as well as the ninth episode in the TV series. Today, we’re checking out ‘The Probe’, an episode where the Maximals might have a chance on returning to their home planet Cybertron when a temporal probe is looking for them. This was the second ‘Beast Wars’ episode I saw in the half-term week of October 1998. I recorded it on VHS and enjoyed rewatching it again and again. This episode also features Tigatron, who previously debuted in ‘Fallen Comrades’. Can the Maximals succeed in sending a signal to the temporal probe using a signal array? Continue reading

It’s time to check out another ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ episode and it’s eighth one in the series as well as the seventh story.
