- Weapon: Switch Blade Tail
I think we have the technology capable of making a Beast Wars movie, but compromises would have to be made.
1.) You would have to get rid of the gore. (Yes, there is gore. Cheetor's weapon for example. No one's going to want to see a gut gun in IMAX 3D. Not to mention their transformations. Plus, it's Hollywood, so they would probably want to ramp up the blood and gore, considering how much potential there is for it.)
2.) How would you begin it? (The public has embraced Bayverse Optimus and crew. You bring them Optimus Primal and his brethren and you might risk them all shaking their heads and walking out. It would have to be a reboot, and it's too soon for a reboot.)
3.) How many characters would you have in it? (We already have models made for the Bayverse bots. It's now just a matter of animating them, rather than designing and animating. With this, you'd have to start from scratch and it could be incredibly expensive and a very risky gamble.)
4.) Beast Wars and Beast Machines was a one shot deal. (We loved it, we enjoyed it, but we were also riding high on the thrill of Jurassic Park at the time. We don't have that going right now. Outside of the Beast series, we've been enjoying vehicle based TFs for most of these 25 years. The vehicle bots far outweigh the beasts, in terms of numbers. I'm not sure we could revive it and make it work now.)
Me, personally? I'd watch it, but I enjoyed Beast Wars, so I'm biased. The public? Probably not so much...
