7	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The ''Beast Wars'' cartoon had Airazor and Inferno added as later recruits to the Maximals and Predacons respectively who were found from the scattered stasis pods containing protoforms. In this game, they are both established members of their respective factions from the very start.
8	* AdaptationalHeroism: The game depicts Dinobot as a member of the Maximals from the start, when the cartoon had him start out affiliated with the Predacons before defecting to the Maximals.
9	* AdaptationalIntelligence: Inferno is depicted as a scientist in the Maximal campaign, probing into the mysteries of the Skriix.
10	* AdaptationalLateAppearance: Rattrap appears in the Maximals campaign as a recruit found from a stasis pod, when the original cartoon featured him as an established member of the Maximals from the start.
11	* AdaptedOut: Tigatron and Waspinator are omitted from the game.
12	* TheBadGuyWins: The Predacons campaign ends with the Predacons successfully wiping out the Maximals and proceeding to lay waste to Cybertron.
13	* BottomlessPits: Taking a tumble into one -- one of ''[[NintendoHard many]]'' -- will treat you to the same [[CharacterDeath steep]] [[GameOver penalties]] as death in combat.
14	* CanonForeigner: The game features an alien race called the Skriix, who were never present in the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon.
15	* ContinuitySnarl: The game presents Megatron as wanting to use the Energon wealth on prehistoric Earth to fly back to Cybertron and conquer it due to the fact the game was made during Season one and Megatron's true goals wouldn't be revealed until the Season Two finale.
16	* FinalBoss: Optimus Primal is the final boss of the Predacons campaign, with Megatron likewise being the last boss faced in the Maximals campaign.
17	* GiantMook: Several enemy drones are massive such as several of Rhinox's drones during his levels.
