His journeys take him to a strange jungle where he finds a collective of odd semi-organic Decepticons, led by none other than Blackarachnia! The dark-hearted spider has continued her experiments and created Fractyl, Terrorsaur, Inferno, Antagony, and Megatron - an egotistical former tyrant who reminded her of her previous boss. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tfan_fpbw2.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"575\" title=\"Animated Beast Wars Megatron, made from Animated Grimlock\" class=\"aligncenter\"><\/p>\n<p>To Minor's horror, also among the Decepticons is his friend, now renamed \"Tri-Nox*\", given a prehistoric beast mode, and enslaved using a control collar and brainwave bolts. The stalwart Autobot explorer must battle these Decepticons - or Predacons as they've taken to calling themselves - alone and so resorts to guerrilla warfare as he also tries time and again to break Blackarachnia's hold over Tri-Nox.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also said that \"Tri-Nox\" was just going to be a joke, until he did the mock-up of the colors and thought it looked legitimately cool:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/tfan_fpbw3.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"415\" title=\"Animated Beast Wars Rhinox made from Animated Snarl\" class=\"aligncenter\"><\/p>\n<p>It's pretty apparent Fractyl and Terrorsaur would have been repaints of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/tfan_dbsw.php\">Swoop<\/a>, Inferno and Antagony could have been retooled from Waspinator, though no images of those have surfaced.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Fall of Cybertron Bruticus addendum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2012\/08\/fall-of-cybertron-bruticus-addendum\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Fall of Cybertron Bruticus addendum<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"An even easier Collaborative crossover\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2023\/10\/an-even-easier-collaborative-crossover\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">An even easier Collaborative crossover<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"A tour of Toys R Us in 1991\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2021\/01\/a-tour-of-toys-r-us-in-1991\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">A tour of Toys R Us in 1991<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Holidays by Hasbro: Transformers from Hell\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2011\/12\/holidays-by-hasbro-transformers-from-hell\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Holidays by Hasbro: Transformers from Hell<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Transformers Generations: Ratbat addendum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2014\/03\/transformers-generations-ratbat-addendum\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Transformers Generations: Ratbat addendum<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the latest in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of blog posts memorializing cancelled toys.
