Worst Beast Wars Character?

No doubt there are like a hundred threads here asking who the best Beast Wars character is, but who was the worst?

I'll only include in-show characters here, and just Beast Wars (not Beast Machines) because otherwise people will just look up a random toy only character and choose him, or just choose Nightscream :p

Personally (people will hate me) I dont like Scorponok too much. Honestly I didn't even notice his death in series 2, as Quickstrike replaced him as the scorpion (I was younger then)

So whose your worst character? (PS dont include the G1 cameos, that is just petty :roll: )

LOL! Dude, not even the show's characters noticed Scorpinok's death. He had zero character development and was pretty much used as Megatron's tool. The other Predacons (even Waspinator) had ambitions, but Scorpinok was just the typical, disposable lackey. Plus, his transformation was lame...


***EDIT***

Oh, yeah. Scorpinok's my least favorite lol.

I also second, third, fourth, whatever the montion of Scorponok being the worst character.

Not only was he Megatron's tool, he was a complete tool. XD

Heck, I didn't even notice his death back then either.

But I actually do know people who like him. Like one timeI said, I didn't really care that Scorponok died, because he wasn't much of a character to begin, and my sister got a little mad at me for saying that.

I said, "What? All he was was 'Must do what Megatron's says"

Then she's like, "That's what made him so funny"

But whatever, I still think he sucks as a character.

I only have Scorponok's toy because I'm a mold completist, and well..frankly...his toy is cheaper than the Sandstorm repaint

Quickstrike may have been useless but he had his funny moments.

Quickstrike actually has quite an impressive resume for being such a minor character:

- Shot Dinotbot in the gonads

- Was the only Predacon to take out Depth Charge face to face

- Was a boob

- Took control of Optimal Optimus' body, and then took out most of the Maximal team

- Nearly killed Megatron using said body, but instead gave the audience one of the coolest transformers ever

- Provide insight that despite not being forcefully reprogrammed, he willingly chose to side with the Predacons. This means that not all Maximals have a sense of honor.

- Despite appearing to be a polar opposite of his fellow fuzor, Silverbolt, Quickstrike is just as much of a gentlemen towards Blackarachnia.

I guess I'd have to agree with everyone on Scorponok. I never cared much for Terrorsaur either. He reminded me too much of Starscream and I was never a fan of him. And Terry didn't have one of the more pleasant voices. :lol: I'm just blabbering.

I love that everyone agrees who the worst is, whilst there is no consensus on the best :D

oh no, I think it's one of the best, it showed a more compasionate side to Rampage and really made me appreciate him more as a character
