You also need to remember that Beast Wars happens many unknown hundreds maybe even thousands of years after the destruction and rebuilding of Cybertron.

Beast Wars begins 300 years after the signing of the Pax Cybertronia. 2328C.E. by my calculations. Beast Machines occurs in 2331C.E.

 

After all in the episodes where they show scenes from Cybertron during Beast Wars when Ravage is sent to earth you have the Beast bots of the Tri Predacus Counsel. So they all needed to become beast bots in order to survive something.

"Council." Counsel is an entirely different word.

 

The Tripredacus Council never had beast modes in the show, btw (we can reasonably presume this from the fact that thie robot modes had no organic beast alt mode kibble). Also, Beast Machines establishes the fact that the Transformers did not have organic alt modes until the BW TFs returned to Cybertron - and that supposedly part of the reason why the Beast Wars were fought on Earth was to bring organic data back to Cybertron in order for it to become a technorganic world.

So very true indeed. And the smaller cast in Beast Wars made for excellent characterization.

Yep, and most TV shows usually only have around 13 to 24 episodes per season anyway.

 

That allows the stories to unfold at a steady pace, and avoids episodes such as Armada's "Carnival" and "The one where they go camping" (sorry the title escapes me).

Most Anime has 52 epesodes per season

Most faces are attached to their heads.

Just because "most anime" has 52 episodes per season it does not mean Transformers should follow that "rule".

 

I mean Transformers is nothing like most anime, if properly done that is. In typical anime shows I have seen humans are always controlling mindless machines. Transformers is quite the opposite. In G1 Sparkplug and Spike only had supporting roles for instance.

 

Having 52 episodes can be either a good or bad thing. If the writers are able to write enough interesting stories then having that much episodes to fill is a good thing. However if the writers are bad, then a lot of episodes are pretty useless.

 

G1 and Headmasters had a few of those episodes which are best forgotten. Beast Wars had very few (if any) really bad episodes.

 

The Beast Wars were indeed a masterplan to bring the organic back to Cybertron. Seems like a bit overkill seeing how many Transformers lost their lives.

So very true indeed. And the smaller cast in Beast Wars made for excellent characterization.

Beast Wars and Beast Machines are not ANN-EE-MAY.

According to Beast Wars, at least... Beast Machines assumes that eons have passed between G1 and BM.

By my calculations...
