Quotes[]

"It's good to be a Predacon."

-- Terrorsaur after swallowing an eagle whole.


"Power... This rock's alive with it! So much Energon... It's enough to power an army! I... I have to chance a scan... Terrorsaur: TERRORIZE!!!"
"Danger: Energon surge. Return to Beast Mode or stasis lock is imminent."
"I must work fast. A small sample will do..."
(Terrorsaur touches a small piece of the raw Energon crystals, and his body is sent into a state of supercharge)
"The Energon has been absorbed directly into my superstructure! I've never felt such power... I'm invincible! Megatron..."
Terrorsaur finds a new power source that is now at his disposal, and he has big first courses of action planned for it...


"Megatron is scrap! Yesss, I'm your leader now!

-- Terrorsaur, inheriting the traits of a leader, yesss.


"Big Bot...Predacons...attacking...Megatron, scrap Terrorsaur...power source, mountain...floating...!"

-- Cheetor upon returning to the Axalon


"You do know... that was crazy."
"Eh, sometimes crazy works."

-- Rattrap witnesses Optimus Primal coin his motto.


Terrorsaur: Blast those Maximals! They destroyed my power! But at least I got rid of Megatron."
[Megatron emerges from the Darksyde along side Scoponok and Waspnator, fully repaired]
Megatron: "Well, well..... Look who's... BACK."
Terrorsaur: "Help!"

-- Megatron greets a depowered and very scared Terrorsaur.

Notes[]

  • Megatron: "I thought you already learned your lesson about challenging me, Terrorsaur."
    • This line suggests there's been a previous example of Terrorsaur battling against Megatron for leadership in a failed coup. Deja vu much?
  • This episode is Terrorsaur's first major antagonist role.
  • A warrior among the forces of evil goes literally mad with power, blasts his leader out cold and takes over. Again, Deja Vu.
  • This episode marks the introduction of the Predacon Autogun. This is the same cannon discovered by Scorponok in the episode "The Web".
  • This episode has many similarities to The Transformers Season 1 episode "Countdown to Extinction", in that both episodes have a character who is a Decepticon/Predacon (Countdown to Extinction: Starscream, Power Surge: Terrorsaur) that tries to upstage their leader (Countdown to Extinction: Megatron of G1, Power Surge: Megatron of Beast Wars), both episodes have a plot that reloves around bombs, and both episodes ending are very similar with that Decepticon/Predacon having to face the rage of their leader.
  • Rattrap plays holographic cards. According to the Cybertronix text, he's playing old maid.
  • Dinobot is mentioned in this episode, but does not appear.
  • Terrorsaur eating the bird in the beginning of the episode may be alluding to his on-package bio, where it is said that he "ingests entire flocks of birds by flying opened mouthed through their flight pattern." He apparently didn't have much of an appetite in this case.
  • Tarantulas's interest in the floating mountain's energon is the first glimpse at his treacherous nature.
  • After Terrorsaur informs the rest of the Predacons that "Megatron is scrap" he adds Megatron's practically patented "Yeess".
  • Terrorsaur proved himself to be a treacherous backstabber who would usurp his leader's position in this episode, much like a certain Decepticon whose spark made a guest appearance in the episode "Possession".
