'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' Easter Eggs
Editor's Note: The following article contains spoilers for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.The Autobots and transforming robots of the Transformers franchise are back with this summer’s new sequel, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Now that the movie has hit theaters, it's time to take a look at some of the notable references built into the new big-screen adventure.
Maximal Leader Apelinq Credit where credit is due to the writers of Rise of the Beasts and director Steven Caple Jr. because the appearance of Apelinq in Rise of the Beasts is a fairly deep and obscure cut from Transformers lore. In Rise of the Beasts, Apelinq is introduced as the original leader of the Maximals, living on a jungle planet , that comes under siege by Unicron, Scourge, and the Terrorcons.
'Maximals, Maximize!' "Maximize" is famously the activation code for the Maximals in Transformers continuity. In the Beast Wars animated series, the Maximals and Predacons use activation codes to execute their transformations from beast mode to robot mode.
The famous phrase also appears in Rise of the Beasts, once again spoken by Cullen as Prime, who first spoke the line 37 years ago with the original animated movie. He says the line while speaking with Noah Diaz , admitting his mistakes and rallying the remaining heroes together.
