Beast Wars?

[Darth Rockwell]

Just a thought but would anyone want to see a Beast Wars based movie? I mean it was and is one of the most profitable lines transformers has had recently and the stories were great. Japan had two more series and an antimated movie so how about a movie in the U.s.?

[deathshead2]

I for one would love to see it but hasbro has moved on no looking back now.Its been what 9 yeras sense its been on tv so hasbro would see no money in it.

[Darth Rockwell]

Hasbro re-released a bunch of the Beast Wars/Beast Machine Toys in their recent run of "Universe".

[deathshead2]

Yeah then they would make a universe movie not a beast wars movie.Its the universe line not beast wars

[Destructicus]

The Beast Wars did okay with the graphics they had with Mainframe. I dont see how the cgi could do any better. I mean I can see the cgi of today being used for g1 but not for the beast wars. They would end up ****in it up and pissin all of us off.

[Darth Rockwell]

see they could make it at the end of the series and make a better movie and story then Beast Machines I'm sure. Besides there were all those pods left in orbit.

[deathshead2]

Thats what the new comic is for.

[Darth Rockwell]

what new comic?

[deathshead2]

From IDW they will be starting a new mini series on beast wars sometime early next year.And if it sells well they will be makeing a lot of mini series for beast wars.

[Darth Rockwell]

Awsome I didn't know about this. I thought that the company that had the comic went banckrupt?

[deathshead2]

dreamwave did but hasbro gave the comic book rights to IDW.

[Darth Rockwell]

awsome, it's good to know that they are still moving ahead with the Beast Wars comic :D thanks for the info

[1987olds442]

As much as I loved Beast Wars, I personally don't feel that it needs a live action movie the show was originally done in cgi format anyway. Plus it was a great story, if they was going to bring back beast wars I would rather see it as a direct sequal to the original series and bring back the original writers. And say that Beast Machines never happed.

[devilgirl]

I grew up with beast wars but i agree with 1987 . It had its charm in the way it was made and when it was made . If it was done now it would be over done and over cgi'ed to death. Imagine transformer mr tinkles (cats & dogs)

http://www.crankycritic.com/qa/pf_articles/cats&dogs.jpg
suddenly morphing into cheetor's robot form..it be freaky. cgi cartoon...again it had its time and place.


I loved beast wars and beast machines it had an amazing story and characters.

[Kal-El 8]

If Transformers the movie in 07, is a smach hit then I would love to see Beast Wars movie .

[Destructicus]

I will say it now get used to the Beast Wars comic cause thats all we are gona see from now till kingdom come.

[Rez]

The Tv show of Beast was amazing... it was so rooted in the old show and had so many great references. I should just get the bastard on DVD instead of worrying about them making a movie.

[deathshead2]

Can't really but it now its been discontinued but I'm there a few left.

Well considering that Beast Wars is a story about transforming plants and animals that throw fecal matter, probably not. :down

[1987olds442]

Well considering that Beast Wars is a story about transforming plants and animals that throw fecal matter, probably not. :downBeast Wars was a well written show that had repect for what came before. Now Beast Machines is the show you are talking about do not lump them together.

[hex]

Alright, alright, I concede. BeastWars was a well written show that DID have respect for the original. I just hate that surfing ape transmetal thingie. I mean surfing ape?! :confused:

[Abaddon]

I liked Beast Machines.:(

[hex]

I liked Beast Machines.:(

I understand it looked cool, and had cool over sized toys, but u must understand it's not Transformers period.

[Abaddon]

I thought the story was interesting.

[hex]

yeah if you ignore the fact that Transformers are MACHINES! the title of the show was beast MACHINES!!! HELLLOOOO!!! lol. =P

[Abaddon]

They were machines. But the planet they came from was originally organic. Their mission to reconcile both the machine and organic parts of their planet,and themselves is what kept my interest.



Though they didn't need to kill off most of the Beast Wars characters before then to do that.

[Sloth7d]

Beast war was great. Then they totally messed it up with Beast machines.
What is up with these animators taking something great and then destroying everything we liked about it.
Exa:
Dbz to Dbgt
Digimon then Digimon season 4
Yugioh to yugioh gx
Naruto starts off great, then we get 5 years of fillers.

Home planet= Cybertron.:marv:

[Abaddon]

Home planet= Cybertron.:marv:


Yes,you are correct.:confused:

[Sloth7d]

Oops, misread you're post. Sorry.

[Abaddon]

No worries.

[Destructicus]

i would be happy with a movie but like i said before it will never ever happen. Just buy the new remade DVDs of the Beast Wars Show and be happy.

[comicgenius2111]

that would b cool 4 a sequel and it's kind of obvious they r gonna make a beast wars i hope.

[Future Prez]

I doubt it will happen, but I'm all for a Beast Wars movie.

[Sloth7d]

Well, is anyone pumped about the transformers movie we're getting in the meantime?

[1987olds442]

With the announcement of them bringing back the original voice of Optimus Prime "Peter Cullen" the excitement level jumped tremendously throughout the fandom for this movie.

[Optimus Crime]

I like the idea of a beast wars movie, but it'd just end up being all cg like the show was, i mean their would be no point to make it live action, their was only like 4 humans threw out the entire series and they were pretty cavemen.

[Shinobi Rendar]

Maybe after they make a trilogy of transformers movies. A live action film would be not so live action since there will be probably close to no human characters. Maybe animals and enviroments but maybe no humans. I would be happy with a really well cgi'ed movie.

Beast Wars was awesome... Beast machines not so so much...

[tzarinna]

I'd love to see a Beast Wars movie :) And I'm getting more stoked about the Transformer movie :D

[Darth Elektra]

I would deffinetly watch a Beast Wars film!

[Primal Slayer]

I would love to see a live action Beast Wars film but I doubt we would get it. If you want to keep true to the tv show, it would be hard to use some of the animals in a live action movie. Rattrap wouldnt be able to be a mouse.

But I guess if they could make King Kong look real, they could just do all the animals in CGI.

The movie would probably be good at the box office and draw in the kids since they love their talking animals.

Man could you imagen this on The Big Screen , It would be totally wicked .

[chiefchirpa]

King Kong? Mechagodzila?

Not saying Beast Wars cartoon a bad series. But the idea of live action Beast Wars TF certainly won't be more awesome than live action G1/Cybertron TF. Keep it vehiculars and make it modern.

[Symbiote Hulk]

Beast Wars? WOn't work

Beast Machines is not connected directly to Beast Wars. Beast Wars simply killed off almost all of their characters as part of their finale. When FOX picked up the rights to continue the "series' the writers and directors of Beast Machines were only given synopsis' of the Beast Wars episodes and what characters were left to work with. Also, it's important to note that this was the first show planned out entirely in advance, before the toyline was even conceptualized.

[SpideyZERO]

As much as I love Beast Wars, it just won't work on the big screen.

[chiefchirpa]

Yeah, I think it's just teens of the 90's pipedream. I mean which is cooler seeing a robot transform into an F-15/F-22, or a robot transform into a rat? A rat is just a stinkin rodent that doesn't launch missiles and shoot vulcan machine guns. And please don't even compare the names. Starscream vs Waspinator. Mirage vs Cheetor. Ironhide vs Rhinox. Silverbolt vs Silverbolt (hmm..).

The BW series is good. G1 premise is good (if it's not why it has a better selection of famous characters that transcend into the comics), but the execution and goal (to merely sell toys) is bad. G1 now has a chance to be great as a grown-up favorite, coming out of the former shell of a morning cartoon.

Oh yeah, GI JOE movie? 70% Flop fodder.

[dancing_on_fire]

I want a Beast Wars film, but it probabally wont work because the show never had real human characters and thats a huge factor, otherwise it will come off as to childish to those unfamiliar.

[Colossal Spoons]

God no.


Loooooooved the cartoon series. Would make a terrible movie.

[Colossal Spoons]

I liked Beast Machines.:(

Rhinox getting turned into Tankor killed me :(

[dancing_on_fire]

Rhinox getting turned into Tankor killed me :(
yup, and silverbolt was kinda over the top being a bada$$

[Doomed Hero Rising]

Well they did use Skorp. in this movie so that could mean other beast wars transformers in the next movie?

[Asteroid-Man]

If Beast Wars happens, I will jump off a cliff

[El Bastardo]

God no.

Agreed. (Absolutely no surprise there, eh?)

Beast Wars was absolutely phenomenal as far as the premise went, as far as characters went, as far as storyline went, and how it weaved itself so wonderfully into the Generation 1 cartoon mythology.

...And that's where it should remain. Beast Wars has no place as a movie following Transformers, because it has no way to weave into it, and that'd be stupid. The movie franchse is its own mythos, and Beast Wars should not be a part of it.

Comics, on the other hand, well, everything good can happen with comics. IDW is so good words cannot describe. :D

[Batmansince1939]

I would have to say this would be a great idea....
Out of all the series and seasons this would have to be my favorite...
Dinobot was kick'en that ass!

[dancing_on_fire]

Actually if they were interested in making a Beast Wars film, i doubt it would be hard at all,
they would have to change the year they land on earth depending on what year they decide Megatron landed on earth looking for the Allspark. Seeing as any century is possible, unless the prequels have given one, the story could take place between the 1st and 15th century. The golden disks would of been made by sector 7. The maximals assume the predacons are looking for energon but are in fact looking for their decepticon leader whom they will revive and help conquer the universe with the allspark, and basically humans will play into the story unlike the protohumans did in Beast wars.

So its possible to make a beast wars story, and seeing how successful transformers is currently, if the sequel and third do well, no doubt Beast wars will be in discussions.

...Which would make the movie "Beast Wars" in movie only. If that happens, they have to explain WHAT Maximals and Predacons are, and if they become simply factions aligned in the war, then why not just refer to them as Autobots and Decepticons? There's no need for confusion, and the movie has to be made understandable to the masses, not just Beast Wars fans.

Regardless of how successful the movie is, Transformers in general (and by that I mean Generation 1) is accessible, because the premise is simple. When you start introducing other robots who aren't the same ones who were present in the first movie, one who shares a name with the Autobot leader in the first film, and the fact that they're in an uncharted time zone altogether creates needless confusion.

No Cybertronian, aside from Megatron, was on Earth for countless years. According to the prequel (the four-part comics prequel, marked as official, published by IDW), Bumblebee arrives first, and then Blackout, Starscream, and Barricade make their way from Mars to Earth. Then not too long after the movie takes place.

The only way a Beast Wars movie would really make sense is if it happened along the same lines as the cartoon - they didn't know they were on Earth, but all along they were, and eventually something happens to show them that they are. In which case it'd be some amount of a rehash of the cartoon, but being that it would essentially be no more than a sideshow of the main showcase of the movie/sequel/trilogy, the chances of it are unlikely. ... Else they'd be cranking out a Hobbit or Silmarillion movie to capitalize on the success of Jackson's LotR movies.

No, no way. How could they possibly make a box-office hit of Beast Wars!? I mean, they really would have a hard time trying to have a realistic story behind Beast Wars. I vote no to that.

I think it would be hard, but after watching the series and being able to say it was my favorite out of all the trasformers i think soemhow they could make it really cool

[XXTBWCXX]

see they could make it at the end of the series and make a better movie and story then Beast Machines I'm sure. Besides there were all those pods left in orbit.


A Beast Wars won't happen...if anything, the Transformer sequel(s) will have some animal-based TF's, like Dinobot(s), Black Arachnia, some TF's like that.

Beast Wars was a good show, but did anyone else get the first season and the second disc, the episode were all misplaced?

The actual ninth episode was in the number eleven spot, and it was all screwed up.

I watched it when i was a kid and remember a lot but i loved the show

[Chris B]

Despite it being one of my favorite TF lines, I don't see how a live-action movie would be possible.
