*** Notes before the fact: Out of necessity, I had to separate the
Beast Wars listing from the generation one and two Transformers
Tech-Spec listing.  Namely, the file had become so large and
unmanageable that adding a bunch of entries was not feasable.
    Like it or not, Beast Wars is now part of the Transformers history,
and some sort of net-documentation should exist -- even if it has
been well over a year since I last pondered doing anything resembling
an update.

*** Reading the spec list...
-- It's pretty straight forward but in case you get confused this should
spell things out for you.

Megatron {T-Rex}     Function: Predacon Commander      Group: Predacon

    Millions of years ago, Tyrannosaurus Rex ruled the earth.  Today,
    Megatron plans to do the same!  Duplicating dinosaur DNA stolen
    from human research labs, the evil leader has re-engineered his
    body structure and equipped it with fearsom high-tech firepower!
    Poisonous paralyzer fluids blast from his gaping jaws, while his
    powerful pincher claw can cut an enemy in half!  Be afraid,
    earthlings.  Be very, very afraid!

  The dashed lines are separators and nothing more.
The the name of the transformer followed by an optional curly
braces. This is a basic description of which version of this toy
it is. For example Megatron comes in two different forms: Alligator
and Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Next is the function; What their job is. And what subgroup/allegiance
the toy is.
  The third and fourth lines are used together. the first one is
abbreviations (where needed) of a Transformer's attributes, and a
numerical rating of each one from 1 to 10. Below is the rough
translation of each one:

   Stren.  = Strength      (Physical Strength)
   Intel.  = Intelligence  (How smart they are)
   Speed   = Speed         (How fast they are in beast/robot mode)
   Endur.  = Endurance     (physical durability)
   Rank    = Rank          (Rank on the command chain)
   Cour.   = Courage       (Guts)
   Firep.  = Firepower     (How big is their gun)
   Skill   = Skill         (How well they perform their function)


  The remaining lines describe the Transformer's personality, weaponry,
weaknesses, etc..

    Moving like a venomous shadow under a midnight moon, Blackarachnia
    is an evil temptress posing as a Predacon double agent!  Capable
    of converting thermal energy into poisonous cyber-venom, she lures
    Maximals into her darkened den and then stuns them by firing a
    poison-tipped missile!  After restraining them in her powerful
    legs, she then sinks her fangs into their armor to suck their
    life-force dry.

    Hunts enemy Maximals from altitudes of 20,000 feet.  Uses infrared
    scanning sensors wired within its eyes to detect movement below,
    then zeroes in and launches powerful air-to-ground 'sting' missiles
    to induce temporary paralysis.  Buzz Saw can exit Earth's
    atmosphere at any time, but prefers hunting land-based enemies
    where it has the advantage of flight.  Known to gang up on victims
    with its evil partner, the wicked Waspinator!

    Arising from miles beneath the planet's surface, Drill Bit digs his
    way up through the ground to surprise Maximal enemies when they
    least expect it.  His diamond-tipped, titanium-alloy destruction
    drill can bore through anything -- even the Maximals' latest
    high-tech battle armor!  Drill Bit lives underground in a
    subterranean series of twisting tunnels that go straight to the
    mysterious planet's center, where molten lava mixed with Energon
    crystals fuels his constant thirst for more power.

  ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

Fractyl             Function: Geochemist          Group: Predacon
 " The power of this planet is our salvation and our curse. "

    While Megatron pushes him to be a warrior, Fractyl is more concerned
    with solving the problems caused by the strange planet's surplus of
    Energon.  The other Predacons either ignore him or ridicule his
    apparant fascination with the energy source, despite the fact that
    his work could provide them with the means for ultimate victory over
    the Maximals.  While his research has had only temporary success, he
    is confident that he will eventually resolve their recurring overload
    problems, thereby earning the others' respect.

Iguanus             Function: Demolitions         Group: Predacon

    A lizard unlike any other, his internal intelligence processors are
    specifically programmed for combat sabotage.  If Optimus Primal
    installs aninfrared detection dish near a Predacon outpost, Iguanus
    will destroy it. If the Maximals create a weapon, Iguanus will alter
    it to self-destruct when fired.  Body scales are actually
    titanium-plated armor, as is the deflective headplate that shields
    him from laser fire.

    Although seemingly slow, this giant ant's abdomen splits into
    separate quadrants to reveal hyper-drive ion thrusters that propel
    him at speeds of up to 180 mph!  If he can't catch a retreating
    Maximal, he detaches his rear leg missiles and fires them from
    the secret launcher hidden within his power-pinching mandibles!
    The claw-like pinchers also detach so Inferno can put the bite
    on enemies even in robot mode, when his destructive powers are at
    their best!

  ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

Injector {Fuzor}     Function: Air Commander         Group: Predacon

    He's got a face only a Predacon could love, but according to
    Injector, the vainest of the Predacons, he is the best thing to
    happen since Energon.  Fused into two beasts -- half Lionfish, half
    hornet -- he is as dangerous as it gets.  He is armed with a
    massive stinger and thrusting splines that inject his victims with a
    paralyzing poison; in robot mode he weilds a devastating stinger
    missile.  Charismatic, clever, and evil to the core, Injector
    represents one of the Maximal's greatest threats.

    Sonar-sensitive antennae locate and track enemy Maximals
    infiltrating Predacon battle perimeters.  Internal radar beacon
    emits low-frequency signal to alert others.  When hungry for battle
    himself, this insidious insect uses his crossbow to cripple enemies,
    then drags 'em to their doom with his monstrous mandibles!

    Secret Weapon Locations:  Weapons under wings become crossbow

Jetstorm           Function: Sky Patrol          Group: Predacon

    Mesmerized by his awesome appearance, enemies seldom realize the
    power of this Predacon...  until it's too late!  Striking silently
    from the sky, Jetstorm's internal coolant capacitors produce a
    toxic venom that, when regurgitated from his mouth, can destroy
    an enemy at a range of 500 feet.  To keep his aerial competition
    in check, Jetstorm can launch twin air-to-air missiles that
    explode on impact in a blaze of destruction!

  ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

Lazorbeak          Function: Aerial Attacks      Group: Predacon

    A fast-flying sky pirate with a thirst for battle, Lazorbeak upholds
    his motto of believing the only good point he likes about the
    Maximals is their melting point.  His laser weapon can melt through
    most of the Maximals' battle armor, but such aggression tends to
    drain his Energon levels, allowing him to initialize only brief
    periods of aerial attack sequences between robot and pterodactyl
    modes.  Still, when his power levels are charged, he's one
    mean menace!

  ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

Manterror         Function: Quick-Attack Specialist     Group: Predacon

    The maniacal Manterror may seem awkward in appearance, but he's a
    skilled fighter with devastating quickness in both robot and insect
    battle modes.  Having the power of flight and equipped with
    razor-sharp raptor claws, he activates internal stealth silencers
    to strike from the sky like a sizzling bolt of proton lightning.
    In robot mode, he prefers to launch his devastating ion discs,
    which don't stop spinning until they've sliced through a targeted
    enemy's external armor.  As he always says, " To face Manterror,
    is to face defeat! "

    " Prosper or perish is the Predacon way of life, and we plan to
      survive by driving the Maximals into extinction!  That
      bat-brained Optimus Primal thinks he can challenge our
      strength, but he has yet to feel the painful punishment I'll
      give him as I sink my teeth into his furry flesh!  He may
      still be a robot on the inside, but on the outside...
      he's my lunch! "

    A quantum surge rips across the Beast Wars world altering Megatron,
    evil genius and leader of the Predacons, into a metal-armored
    T-Rex.  New turbine powered V.T.O.L. (Vertical Take Off and
    Landing) engines extend from his body, providing blazing
    atmospheric flight and the ability to "drop in" on unsuspecting
    Maximals with his whiplash cutlass!  Fused reptillian musculature
    enhances his power in an organic robot mode.  The result: creation
    of a supreme tyrant!

    Despite his long body length and the giant pincher claws he drags
    behind him, Powerpinch is suprisingly fast; six speedy legs power
    him forward over almost any obstacle.  His greatest assets are the
    powerful pincher claws that are strong enough to sever most enemies
    in half.  And as all Maximals know, those pincher claws are as
    dangerous in insect form as they are when he converts to robot
    mode, which is why they never underestimate the ferocity of this
    truly evil insect.

    There are few robots as downright mean as Quickstrike; even his
    fellow Predacons steer clear of his terrible disposition whenever
    possible.  His deadly cobra-headed tail squirts a venom that
    instantly paralyzes its victims, leaving them defenseless against
    his razor-sharp scorpion pincers and attack-claw.

    Capable of remaining motionless beneath a layer of sand, Razorclaw
    is one of the best quick-attack specialists they've got!  When
    enemies approach his hidden location, his powerful pincher claw
    shoots up through the surface to capture and impale victims with
    the claw's protruding cyber spikes!  Radar-defeating shell armor
    allows him to stay cloaked from Maximal sensors.  Blaster rifle
    in secondary claw fires disrupter particles, temporarily paralyzing
    his unsuspecting prey.

    Burrowing deep into deser sand dunes, Retrax survives in a series
    of cool, cavernous tunnels lined with the remains of his fallen
    enemies.  His greatest defense is his ability to curl into a ball
    and escape danger by racing across the desert like a turbocharged
    tire screaming down a mountain.  Or, when attacking, he can roll
    over a similar-sized enemy and crush their body upon impact, then
    use his powerful front pinchers to dissect them in seconds.

    The searing summer heat of the Mojave Desert turns it into a dry,
    barren wasteland.  A place where only the strong survive.  A place
    the vicious Scorponok calls home.  With hidden robotic technology
    incorporated into its scorpion body structure, this desert attack
    specialist surprises enemies three different ways:  by launching
    its robotic bee;  firing a 2-shot missile blast; and by using its
    terrifying tail for poisonous cyber-strikes!

    An intelligent, brilliantly colored robot, Sky Shadow is one of
    the most charismatic and popular of the Predacons.  A good
    statesman and leader, he acts as one of Megatron's most trusted
    counselors.  In actuality however, he despises everyone and wants
    nothing more than to rule the Predacons with his own, " more
    imaginative techniques. "  He is an expert in concealment and
    surprise-assault tactics; with reptillian patience he can lie
    for days in wait and then suddenly attack with a powerful
    turbo-missile, or convert to robot form and overwhelm unexpecting
    Maximals with his devastating saw-edged pincer.  Powerful wings
    allow him to hover over targets, giving him a distinct advantage
    with targeting accuracy and in reconnaissance missions.

    sight reminds one of a trash compactor crushing a soda can --
    except soda cans don't scream for mercy!

    More poisonous than a Cybertron razor snake, Spittor can immobilize
    an enemy in less than seven seconds.  Highly sensitive microchips
    existing just millimeters below his "skin" instantly release venom
    upon contact with aggressors.  When on the attack, his powerful
    legs allow him to leap in front of enemies over 100 yards away.
    After catching them off guard, he releases his head-butting poison
    tounge to knock 'em out cold.  Talk about tough, this guy doesn't
    feed on flies, he feeds on Maximals!

    An eight-armed master of the martial arts, this ninja nightmare
    slashes his way through battle virtually unstoppable!  The heroic
    Optimus Primal suspects him of being responsible for the
    disappearance of numerous earthlings, and recent rumors suggest
    the existance of giant cocoons where Tarantulas may store his
    unfortunate prey.  He must be stopped before he spins a web of
    terror across the galaxy!

    There are few Predacons spinning webs of violence and deceit as
    skillfully as the eight-legged ninja warrior Tarantulas.  After
    the quantum surge, Tarantulus was delighted to discover himself
    as a meched-out arachnid with motorcross vehicle-like
    capabilities.  Instead of constantly relying on stealth and
    suprise, Tarantulus now races into battle on his wicked new
    wheels, converting into a new animalized robot mode that makes
    him virtually unstoppable in battle!

    Most Transformers find that smelly, mucky environments clog up
    their circuitry.  Not the half-croc, half-turtle Terragator.  He
    prefers it.  Terragator is most at home in the swamp lands and
    sewers.  Part of the Predacon elite amphibious warriors, his
    specialty is land/water assault.  In robot mode he weilds an
    impenatrable shield, and his hand reveals an awesome weapon.

    Striking from the sky like a demonic dragon, this organically
    enhanced robot warrior is seldom seen... until it's too late!
    Megatron personally supervised his genetically engineered creation,
    ensuring his devastating aerial combat efficiency.  Truly a terror,
    he is known to ingest entire flocks of birds by flying open
    mouthed through their flight pattern.

    There are few that can match Transquito's uncanny ability to track
    and discover hidden Maximal outposts.  Converting to combat mode,
    he can hold off several Maximals at once with huge poison-tipped
    pinchers.  Any unfortunate robot surviving a strike from these
    pinchers is immediately afflicted with an irritating rash and sent
    into a delirious rage.  His powerful wings hurtle him to blazing
    speeds and create an annoying high-pitched screech known to drive
    Maximals out of their minds.  His manner is highly obnoxious and
    dangerous, a point well illustrated by a frequent and destructive
    habit of firing his missile launcher incessantly when upset.
    Transquito is hated by all who know him.

    The ultra beast Tripredacus mounts its attack on the Maximal
    fortress in the dead of night, calling upon and combining
    Cicadacon's plague-like destruction, Ram Horn's tenacity, and
    Sea Clamp's crushing power.  Emerging from the bowels of the earth,
    Tripredacus summons its forces to form an incredible weapon of
    destruction.  Sea Clamp's linkage system connects Cicadacon's
    chopping rotor blades to Ram Horn's powerful driving motor, creating
    a mega-missile launcher the Predacon team uses to slash its
    slimy way into battle.  With power and lethality multiplied three
    times over, Tripredacus prepares to overtake and rule the
    robotic jungle.

    Like a rattle snake's tail before an attack, a chilling sound
    buzzes in the distance as if to forecast approaching danger.
    Suddenly from the sky the giant wasp appears, revealing it's
    monstrous face and bulging eyes as it streaks down for an aerial
    attack!  The Waspinator launches its secret wing missiles, striking
    the helpless victims below with the poisonous power of a robotic
    cyber-sting!

    After the quantum surge, Waspinator became a meched-out, armored
    wasp with the ability to change into a fighter-jet as well as a
    bio-genetically enhanced robot.  His personality, however, did not
    change much; he's still high-tempered, aggressive and dangerous when
    angered.  Only now Waspinator is faster, armed with a toxic stinger,
    and more driven in his mission to wipe out the Maximals forever!
