The Season 2 finale of Beast Wars does something no children's animated series had any business doing in 1998: the heroes lose via time paradox.
This week on Toonami Absolution, Alyx, Jon, and Sam cover \"The Agenda (Part 3)\" the conclusion of the Beast Wars Season 2 finale and one of the weirdest endings in the franchise's history.
With Megatron captured and aboard Ravage's transwarp cruiser, the situation looks like it's finally wrapping up, until Megatron reveals that this plan was just a front for this other, even more evil plan.At the same time Blackarachnia and Silverbolt uncover the Ark, the crashed Autobot ship that contains every dormant G1 hero and villain who will go on to fight in the original Transformers series. Naturally, Megatron gets in and fires a full-powered blast directly into the face of the sleeping original Optimus Prime, causing a time paradox that seems to wipe out everyone and render the storyline null and void.
Naturally, Alyx (being a massive Transformers fan) has to break this down to Jon and Sam, who are very confused about this whole thing. We talk about what this episode does well, what it lacks and guess what this cliffhanger means going into Season 3, and ponder if anyone can replace Dinobot.
