I loved Beast Machines. The hopelessness of a few heroes against seemingly insurmountable odds made for a much more dramatic series. And some of the plot points were incredible in my book - Discovering Jetstorm was Silverbolt was one thing, but finding out that Rhinox had become a Vehicon of his own volition completely threw me for a loop.
The only things I didn't like so much were the character designs (particularly the 'morphing' transformations, which the Vehicons were about as guilty of as the Maximals), and the techno-organic Cybertron... I didn't mind that so much, but it was the fact (inference? I can't remember offhand) that they were somehow returning Cybertron to its original organic nature, which, as we all know, is cowpoop.
But given the stories, graphics (the characters looked good, even if not like the toys, and the backgrounds and moodsetting were great) and acting, frankly, I could look past that easily.
