This week on Beast Wars we tackle “Law of the Jungle” and “Before the Storm”.

Law of the Jungle is a fascinating episode as it sees Tigatron leave the team after his girlfriend is crushed, causing a rift in the Maximals, one that leads to them debating the nature of conflict. It also gives Dinobot a chance to go full Shakespeare on us.

Before the Storm sees Beast Wars’ plot finally return as Megatron puts his ultimate plan into action as we finally learn why this planet is full of Energon and models of Stonehenge. However, this episode also features a lot of weird humour mixed in with the revelations about aliens. If you’ve ever wanted to see Megatron in the bath, this is the episode for you.
