‘Beast Wars’ Review #15 – ‘The Trigger’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time for a two-part story in Season 1 of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’. It’s the first one in a long while since the two-part series opener in ‘Beast Wars’ at the beginning of Season 1. Let’s check out ‘The Trigger’, a ‘Beast Wars’ story that I didn’t see on GMTV in the morning in 1998, 1999 nor 2000. I saw this two-parter on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 3 VHS before eventually owning the story in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set. ‘The Trigger’ focuses on Tigatron, who ends up falling into a cloud that contains a mysterious flying island after being attacked by Terrorsaur and Waspinator. Very soon, the Predacons race to claim the island for themselves, including Blackarachnia and Scorponok. Can Optimus Primal, Rattrap, Tigatron and Airazor stop the Predacons in time from claiming the island? Continue reading →

‘Beast Wars’ Review #14 – ‘The Spark’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on the fourteenth story/fifteenth episode of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’. It’s called ‘The Spark’. I first saw this ‘Beast Wars’ episode on GMTV in the morning on New Year’s Day in January 1999 – which was a Friday. It was the first of two ‘Beast Wars’ episodes I saw on that day. The other episode was ‘Spider’s Game’. I managed to record the episode on VHS back in 1999 before owning it on ‘The Beginning’ Volume 3 VHS and later owning it in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set. This episode introduces a new ‘Beast Wars’ character, as it involves the plot of a stasis pod crash-landing to the mysterious planet our heroes are on. The Maximals and the Predacons race to get it. Will the new protoform robot inside the stasis pod be a Maximal or a Predacon? Continue reading →

‘Beast Wars’ Review #11 – ‘Victory’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s time to talk about the eleventh story/twelfth episode of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’. This was the fifth and final episode I saw on the Friday of the half-term week in October 1998 via GMTV, and it’s called ‘Victory’. In the episode, the Maximals assume the Predacons blew themselves up in their base. Therefore, they decide to take what they can from the abandoned base and use it to repair their ship to make the return journey to their home planet Cybertron. Dinobot decides to stay behind on ‘the mysterious planet’ they’re on, but it seems Megatron and the Predacons aren’t as destroyed as Optimus Primal and the Maximals think. I greatly enjoyed this episode when I had it recorded on VHS, and it’s been great to revisit it again after all these years. Continue reading →

‘Beast Wars’ Review #10 – ‘A Better Mousetrap’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Back in October 1998, I saw the tenth story/eleventh episode of the ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ TV series on the Thursday of the half-term week via GMTV called ‘A Better Mousetrap’. This is a Rattrap-focused episode where he plays a prank on Dinobot, causing the Maximals’ base’s defence grid called Sentinel to go haywire. Rattrap does all he can to switch off the defence grid before it causes more trouble. Meanwhile, Optimus Primal and Tigatron investigate the mysterious presence of Waspinator, who’s been circling in an area close to the Maximals’ base. It’s been great revisiting this ‘Beast Wars’ episode, especially as I’ve fond memories of it when I first recorded it on VHS back in October 1998. 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 →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Here we are on the sixth story and the seventh episode of the ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ TV series called ‘Fallen Comrades’. In the episode, a Maximal stasis pod has crash-landed on the mysterious planet where the Maximals and Predacons have been fighting their Beast Wars. There’s a race to get to the stasis pod, as the Maximals need to get to it before the Predacons do. I first saw this ‘Beast Wars’ episode on Bank Holiday Monday in August 1998. It was second of two ‘Beast Wars’ episodes I saw on that day. The first episode was ‘Power Surge’. Continue reading →
