That all bots share a move set with another bot...except Beast Wars bots? They each have a very unique attack animation.
Am I mistaken? Is there actually a Beast bot that shares like movements?
I know Wasp and Ramjet are alot alike, but Skorp, Primal, Dinobot, ..Can't tell if Rhinox has a unique movement

Each of the Primes has their own movement: G1 has rigid, uniform "boxer" jabs; MV1 "lashes" out at an opponent; Primal has a more fluid, simian fighting style.
Dinobot is less of a stereotypical"Japanese-samurai-honour-posing" Bot and more of a fencer, so his style is a lot more "fence-y".
Scorponok has a style similar to Hot Rod(wavy punches, final hit of Medium Attack is a backflip).
Hope this clears things up, and I really had a lot of fun typing this.
But he says "attack animation". I think he means the attack style, like how the melee attacks look and stuff.
Yeah, there is some overlap with quite a few bots, but many are unique.
I think Hound also has a unique set if I'm not mistaken
As mentioned before, Dinobot's fighting style is more similar to fencing, possibly due to Dinobot's Shakespeare-like personality. Or because Dinobot is just awesome.
As for the others, the show explains that they will retain some traits of their animalistic counterparts. For example, Cheetor purs in his sleep. It's cute.
Primal has a taste for bananas.
Inferno thinks he's an ant. No really, he does.
So, because of this, their animations are influenced by their animalistic minds, a trait other bots don't share.
Scorponok attacks with his stinger because he's part scorpion.
Primal fights in an aggressive, acrobatic style, like how apes are very agile.
Cheetor fights very quickly, slashing and "biting" his prey, like a cheetah. And because he's a bit of a daredevil.
G1 and Bayverse fight in a normal and militaristic style because they didn't undergo such radical changes.
The Beast Warriors, are a mix of animal and bot, showing the difference between some.
Hound does.
His first medium attack has him hit you with his belly.
And his last light attack in a combo has him shoot you at a close-range.
Megatron G1:
Mostly attacks with one hand (what a boss) before the occasional close-ranged fusion cannon shot or kick. Nobody attacks like this.
Galvatron:
This character is surprisingly athletic.
He starts his combos by kicking the opponent in the face! He has the occasional close-ranged particle beam cannon shot like Megatron, but Galvatron's attack animations wildly differ from his.
Megatronous:
Uses palm blasts at the end of combo attacks.
Hut Rud:
Attacks with occasional flips and kicks that aren't seen in other bots.
Kickback:
Attacks with some weird monkey-kung-fu (at least that's how I describe it). And he likes to kick a lot in his combo animations. Hence the first part of his name.
Jetfire:
He's massive, so he attacks by usually attacking downward. At least I believe his animations are unique, not too sure.
You’re right on all those, honestly I hope more bots have such cool animations. G1 Prime and Soundwave/Shockwave fight with these distinctly tough looking brawler type attacks then bots like the Beast Wars bots, Kickback, Galvatron and Megatron all use very unique combos. Makes for a great game when there’s that many ch variety. Hopefully new bots will continue that past trend.
Praying Mantis style bro... GET IT RIGHT 😆
Watch more dubbed martial arts flicks... Or more Kung Fu Panda in your life
(or grasshopper?)
Neither, he’s a locust
Darn it, I should've known Kung Fu Panda was the real deal.
I've been wasting my time watching fake movies like the Raid.
Hot Rod and Galvatron also share many moves.
Does Grindor share moves with anyone? He has a few very unique punches...like basically the "donk" where he just smashes his fist into the opponents head.
I didn't even think of Hound...yeah he's really different...fat ass. Still don't get how a robot becomes morbidly obese.
I like the original moves. Shows dedication to the art. I also like the stiffarm OG Prime/Megatron heavy hitter style...makes it feel like you're landing a punch.
Demo Sharkticon
Now, if we're going to level down to individual animations, then might as well take off Optimus Primal, as he shares the last light attack with Bonecrusher.
