my attempt at a nightscream redesign because i genuinely cannot stand to look at his regular design

So I know that Megatron II has a british accent (as do Obsidian, Strika, and the diagnostic drone in Beast Machines) and Ravage has a russian one, and that Rattrap has a Brooklyn accent and Quickstrike has a some kind of a southern US accent.

Are all the other Maximals, Predacons, and Vehicons just american, or do they have other accents? Do the other bots have some specific US accent like Rattrap and Quickstrike?

That ask about modern day Cybertronians knowing about their planet's history made me think about how Beast Wars handled it, with some characters being protoforms who retained some of their memories, others being protoforms who didn't have any of their memories left, and Cybertronians who joined in for the ride. Likewise, you did have characters from G1 walking around, like Ravage, but a lot of "lost history" or history hidden from many of the modern day characters, like Cheetor and Nightscream in Beast Machines. Which brings up some troubling ideas about what the kids in the modern day of Beast Wars/Machines are learning in school.

Beast wars is an interesting case and I feel like we need more post war situations like it where it's been a Decent While after the war

I am very very curious as to what school was like in Beast Wars, especially with the massive divide between Maximals and Predacons

Hhhgh it's gotta be so interesting (for us)

I still haven't figured out the exact events of SG Beast Wars, everybody's personalities, or who would still be alive during Beast Machines, but I have some ideas for SG Beast Machines.

Rhinox and Nightscream would be the token evil teammates for the surviving Predacons; Rhinox escaped when Primal was about to turn him into a drone and thinks that things got way out of hand and supporting Primal was a mistake. Nightscream was a random Maximal kid who escaped by chance and doesn't want a random wannabe world conqueror to steal his soul and turn his husk into an attack drone, and he doesn't have a lot of options besides sticking with whatever other survivors he finds.

In canon Beast Machines Rhinox turned evil, but I'm not sure if it'd make sense for SG Rhinox to have a redemption arc. It could maybe make more sense in-story for SG Nightscream to have one since children aren't as set in their ways as adults, but on the other hand brainwashed children can be more fanatic because they have seen the real world much less...

Something that makes me so mad is that Beast Machines Nightscream was supposed to be a girl and would've been based off of Newt from Aliens. I'm so mad that we never got this.
