I hate Beast Machines. I really do. Yes its the best 'bad' transformers show but its still bad. Random character changes, drives with absolutley no background. And Megs dragon mode is alot weaker then in BW. Also, how the hell did Waspinator get to Cybertron???? All in all, they tried to capataliz on the excellent Beast Wars, as so many have tried to do before, and like many of those attempts, this frankly left a sour taste in my mouth. My brain cannot make a connection between this and Beas Wars. It simply refuses delivery. So, as far as I'm concerned, I would just as son a dvd had never been released

BM dragon Megs > BW Dragon Megs

 

by a long shot

 

Waspinator's 'return' to Cybertron was the only lame thing in the show, though I still thought it was funny.

Simple question. Could Technorganic Optimus have beaten Optimal Optimus...No, no he could not. Yet Tech Optimus was able to fight Megatron to a duel in Bm pretty much every time. But BW TM2 Megatron was arguably more powerful then Optimal. Basically, I feel the series is a farce

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Because of that? :wtf

 

What you don't know is the effects Megatron's unsuccessful attempts at purging his organics have had on his physical form. Every time he loses it and reverts to his beast mode, what does he do? He falls to the ground. He may not want to admit it, but half of "him" is organic at that point, and he only weakens himself by stripping himself of it.

 

I also would keep in mind that Optimal Optimus' body was being used by two very different people in BW and BM. Primal would never go on a balls-out rampage the way Megatron did in BM. Nevertheless if you pay attention you will see that Primal doesn't win that fight.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

good point, he only wins because he manages to

trick Megatron into falling down into the core of Cybertron with him

, IIRC.

 

besides... we never know just how powerful his BM body is anyway. for all we know, it was more capible than his Op Op body. Optimus Primal in all his forms held back consistantly.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I was talking about the "fighting" part of the fight.... you know, the part where they fight and stuff ;)

 

it ends with Megatron flying up to the surface with Primal in his hand

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

that's what I get for not watching BM for nearly six years.

One thing you need to keep in mind is that there really wasn't a whole lot of character development at all in BW. Most of the characters in that show were essentially the same at the beginning and the end of the series.

i must say somethign aobut this. given the way BW was writen, it really didn't need much character development... most of the characters were fully 3d characters anyway.

 

the only real standout that was in the entire series was blakc arachnia.... she was kind of a 2d character, and did too much goddamn shrieking.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It is downright jarring to watch her in BW Season 1.... she's soooooooo lame

 

thank goodness for Silverbolt's wang

DON'T BRING UP MEMORIES OF THAT

 

she got better towards the end of season 1 though... so did everybody. i think the last five episodes of it is when the writers really got into the groove of things, so to speak.

 

edit: great, now i have mental images of BA beign Powerglideed. THANKS A BUNCH :grrr

 

oh, and the constant sashaying(Horribly misspelled, I know) that she did when she walked was just annoyingly sexist. "Omg she's the seducteres character she must walk sexy like"

I have to agree.... the early BW episodes are charming in their own way, but the writing team definitely got more confident as time went on. I actually think Silverbolt improved the most in that regard, he went from "OMFG YOU ARE ANNOYING" to like the funniest character in the show.

Silverbolt never really annoyed me, but then agian, I like paladin characters.

 

edit: I tihnk we can agree that black arachnia was fairly sexist until the end of season 2...

Just b/c her CG model was based off a stripper?

Her character, not that fact.

 

that's more rofflehouse worthy than sexist.

I think BA is teh hott.

crap

Beast Machines is the 'Highlander 2:  The Quickening of the TF Universe'  :tflaugh  :tflaugh

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Ironically, there actually is a connection there... the guy who voiced Thrust was Joe Dawson in the Highlander series, although he didn't have a role in Highlander 2, he was in the last Highlander movie and will be in the upcoming movies as well  :tftongue

Brilliant!  :tflaugh  :tflaugh
