Do we really need this abomination on DVD?  The cool and intriguing idea of sentient alien robots was dashed by this series, which turned the TF into just plain old, organic-based aliens that we've seen many times before.

:puke

:krem finally! Someone else who thinks Beast Machines was lame. :krem

All real TransFans shouldn't like Beast Machines. Not only did it completely destroy the whole concept of Transformers as sentient robots, it also ruined the interesting characters and story of Beast Wars.

not to mention it chucked the G1 and BW stories and timelines out the window.

Just because someone likes BM does not mean they are not a real fan. I enjoyed BM, and consider myself a fan of Transformers, from G1 to Energon. Also, how did BM ruin Transformers being 'sentient' robots?

 

BM added to the G1 and BW timeline. Both BW and BM added to both the G1 cartoon and comic continuities. Everyone has their own opinions on the series, but you should get the facts right before putting something down.

I totally agree everyone should be entitled to their opinions. Just because you like BM doesn't make you a true fan, but from a TF standpoint, the story just blew. It would have been something different if this would have been a completely diffrerent Universe, or if was even EXPLAINED, but it was all too convenient. If this was a stand alone series, it might have worked. As a matter of fact, as a completely stand alone series, it works. An evil tyrant enslaves a whole Planet and there a choosen few to change that. It just doesn't work in the TF universe. I have a sneaking suspicion it was supposed to be and Skir just just slap the TF label on it. Idiot.

 

Way too convenient. It's kind of like saying that somehow, The Emperor completely wiped out the ENTIRE Rebel Alliance, all the planets in the Republic/Empire, for or against him, and there was just him and a whole mess of Storm Troopers running around with 8 people trying to stop him, and one of them was carrying a butter knife as a weapon. It just doesn't make sense.

:pfx Honestly I look at Beast Machines as a stand alone story. I have never thought of any of the series as direct continuations or the be all end. Just different stories Cybertron is huge there must be hundreds of stories to be told. So I like to hear different stories that don't fit into be all end story. I would like to see what happened after beast machines though. There was a computer comic at unicron that was interesting

Universe is a sequil to BM

Universe is a sequil to BM

prove it

Universe is a sequil to BM

prove it

They both have Optimus Primal. :roll *duhhhhh*

 

(teh sarcasm)

that's no proof! how aboutg something released from hasbro that says so!

Read Univese #1

TFU is a continuation, X bob is right, I have the comic and waiting forever on issues 2 and 3 which should have been out for a few months

how'm I sposed to do that? I'm still in Iraq.

You're in Iraq?

 

(LM is teh ignorant)
