Beast Wars: Transformers 20th Anniversary

Postby RogueWolf » Tue May 22, 2012 6:58 pm

It has almost been 20 years since Beast Wars first aired in 1996. With 20th Anniversary of the Beast Wars series on the way. What are your hopes/expectations for the for the upcoming anniversary?

(My hopes for the upcoming anniversary)
Beast Wars Game (By High Moon Studios preferably)

Re-Release of the toy line

I wouldn't want a re-release of the toyline, I would like new more show accurate toys, preferably favouring the bot mode over the alt-mode.
A proper official prequel by the actual creative team of the show.

You know now that I think about it. That would be amazing. I would even be ok with really high quality figures of each character in robot mode only made by Play Arts and/or McFarlane.

Generations Beast Wars figures. That's what I want. Show-accurate ones done in a similar vein to Henkei! Henkei! Dinobot.

Cheetor, however, was blah in both Universe and Henkei! versions, so he needs a new one too.

They could even release the RobotMasters Deluxe molds of Primal and Megs in their Telemocha Series decos repackaged for Generations.

But, Rhinox should be first to get a new figure, preferably a Voyager class Generations and show-accurately molded and colored.

I'd like some more organic beasts in general. Blackarachnia in particular needs a not-repaint-of-Tarantulas update.

Reboot comic series. I think they can do so much more in a comic series when they arent limited "animation budgets".

And I might be in the minority, but I thought the toys were fine. For the most part they were cartoon acurate (transmetal rattrap and blackarachna being noted exceptions). I certainly don't want more like universe cheetor. Dinobot was alright, but looked odd. I can't really explain it.

id like to see a show/comic of the transition from autobot/decepricon to maximal/predicon.
Wrestling is just a male soap opera, though less believable.

The BotCon "Descent into Evil" story was set in a time period very much like that... except for the notion that its author insists that it takes place in a different continuity. >:oP

Though, a story like that would have to be handled very carefully since the Beast Wars cartoon doesn't directly follow on after either the G1 cartoon or the Marvel comics. Rather, what we know as "Generation 1" to them is a vague history wrapped in myth and legend, with bits and aspects taken from both, favoring neither over the other.

Which comes from the way they had to research, the fanbase basically not remembering stuff correctly and believing the comics and cartoon to take place in the same universe. After all that was before DVDs, trades, and wikis became widely available.

Yet, to this day, so many are adamant about Beast Wars being in the G1 cartoon continuity.:|

While this is certainly true for the Japanese dubs of each (FSRLTF and BWSLTF), the English-language Beast Wars cartoon is set in A G1 continuity that is neither the G1 cartoon nor the G1 comics, but a unique one that borrows little elements from both. ;)
