roller answered it correctly first, so it's his turn now. Sorry roller, that reply was for Pulse, and I didn't see your post.
Pulse's answer was incorrect as Beast Wars Skywarp is not the same character as G1 Skywarp. BW Skywarp is a Maximal and not a rebuilt G1 TF.
I also would have accepted:
+ Swoop ("The Veteran")
+ Obsidian (Universe Obsidian was formerly an Autobot general)
+ Strika (probably also an Autobot general - BM states that both she and Obsidian were decorated generals in the Autobot-Decepticon war)
Same! The Maximal upgrade isn't really about becoming a "beast" warrior... after all, a lot of "Beast" era TFs don't have beast modes. Most of the BWII Predacons maintained vehicular modes. The Maximal Upgrade is really the same concept as Micromasters; reduction in size for the conservation of fuel. Perhaps Maximals/Predacons are more advanced and thus more fuel-efficient than Micromasters - hence the name change. Or maybe the Maximals and Predacons are Micromasters but were called Maximals and Predacons for political reasons due to the Pax Cybertronia treatise (like how some former Soviets are called Russians now).Originally Posted by roller
But Rodimus' conversion to Micromaster/Maximal is indeed the least visually interesting, since he looks the same, just smaller... but yeah, that's why folks like roller and me just see him as Battlestars Micromaster Hot Rod.
