I loved the Beast Wars series but hated the series after.... Ironic how Beast Machines initials are BM

Nathan · 02-09-2007, 02:38 PM

Liked Beast Wars. I even liked the vibe and stories of Beast Machines. What I didn't like was that they just looked to terribly ugly.

Prognosticator · 02-09-2007, 05:20 PM

I feel the need to mark this thread for further inspection when I have more time to nerd around.

Beast Wars owned my sunday mornings... that and Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys.

Cheetor(sp?) started my love for all cats, actually. The Cheetah is my favorite cat because they're so fast. Cheetor is my Nesgro.

I loved the first and second seasons. The third was a little too large in scope for my tastes towards the end, and the only real highlights I can think in the long run from Beast Machines was the portrayl of Megatron and the graphics. Sadly, BM brought down a great story. BW ended up becoming another ReBoot where the finale did it no justice, but it was one heck of a ride when the going was good.

MaskedManJRK · 06-07-2007, 09:17 PM

You know what, I'll just come right out and say it.

Beast Wars was infinately times better than Transformers.

Yeah, I said it. Who wants some?!

lars573 · 06-07-2007, 09:20 PM

One thing I always wondered was why they killed off Terrorsaur and Scorponok. Never really made sense.

I get the impression it was just to make room for new characters. Granted their deaths weren't dramatic, but then again neither were half the deaths in TFTM (it's quiet possible they were spoofing that a little too, Beast Wars made quiet a few cracks at the old show).

I guess. But they killed of TS and Scorponok at the start of season 2. Tigatron, Airrazor and Dinobot didn't kick it until father along.

Darth Rockwell · 06-09-2007, 02:13 PM

Beast Wars was my favorite series. I think it had to do with the fact that it was the only series I saw from start to end. I even own all the DVDs. Though I have to admit as I've gone back and started to watch G1 again, when I can, everything seems awsome.

The cartoon, most I would hope would agree. The comic was at least on par though.

Lord Blackbolt · 06-19-2007, 07:34 PM

I didn't like the end of beast Machines....what...now Cybertron is a green planet now? THAT's the END of the Gen. 1 story.....??? I wish they'd do a series on what happened next

Thirteen Shadows · 06-19-2007, 10:46 PM

Beast Wars was the s*** to me growing up. I absolutely loved the show with a passion. Code of Hero is my favorite episode out of all the Transformers Shows that there have been.

I really like how some of the characters, over the series, received different alt modes. That was always cool to me.

Also, who didn't love Waspinator?

me i hated him he deserved to get his butt kicked all the time

dancing_on_fire · 08-07-2007, 01:02 AM

as i see it, they dont have to do a beast wars movie, they could always experiment by crossing over characters like scorponok who is a mechanical non robot form of the beast wars version than any of the others. Dinobot should be chosen, he would work well with the 'Dinobots' and hes personality was purely one of the best ther was, he was savage and brutal but had honor and respect and had a heart. He should be in the sequel or third one, sure grimlock fans wouldnt be too happy i guess but it wouldnt hurt :d

Darth Rockwell · 06-26-2007, 04:10 AM

I really liked how at the end DInobot found his true self again and once again sacraficed himself.

The Caped Knight · 06-26-2007, 07:03 PM

I love BEAST WARS Season 1 - 3

and if you haven't guessed by now Optimus Primal was my favorite .

Zipperedgorilla · 06-26-2007, 07:42 PM

One thing that seemed weird to me was that the size of the bots. The G1 bots were so many times bigger than the Beast Wars characters when they introduced them in the arc segments. The predacons and maximals were kinda tiny compared to the cousins. It just seems like the G1's could step on them. Granted they scanned animals and fossils, but shouldn't the stayed the same size? Because characters like waspinator didn't become smaller.

The beast wars characters were smaller not because of the forms they scanned, but becasue they didn't have to use as much energon as the big guys. I think they even stated that in the show. That as the war went on the bots were designed and made smaller. So they can use as much energon as possible. Unlike the old G1 bots. How used alot more than they did.

Zipperedgorilla · 06-26-2007, 08:30 PM

Cool, thanks for the info.

Benstamania · 06-26-2007, 10:22 PM

Is there anyway to get the series on DVD now?
