Also there will be BW characters in Selects as well, it's inevitable. They're not going to do all those beast wars molds and not reuse them again. Plus who says 2022 isn't the year that more characters you want will see the day? They'll never stop doing G1 it seems.

For the most part if you don't submit it to news it's random if you get the news credit or not.

I started this thread 10 days ago with the word Rumour in the title. In that time, you'd think someone from the News staff would have popped their head in for a look. Oh well.

What about when previous lines had furry beast and robotic vehicle toys mixed together?

It's just part of me unfortunately. I did mention the multiple releases of Legendary characters throughout the past 6 lines, but alas, I guess I am just destined to be slightly disappointed. Not fully, because we've got some great releases, and hopefully at least a couple more surprises before it goes full Beast Mode.
Plus, if the whole idea is that they're from the future, then their designs clashing with the G1 guys will help to emphasize that.Sabrblade wrote:What about when previous lines had furry beast and robotic vehicle toys mixed together?

Sadly, I don't think we'll get anything that deep. If the Netflix show gets to telling this line's story, there only so much they can fit into about six episodes (assuming the episode count remains the same) that need to not only advertise many new toys but also continue the story begun with Siege and carried over into Earthrise.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:As an aside, if this all pans out as true and makes it into the show. I would be interested to see interaction between the two eras. Not in one of those trite team-ups that appeal to a 10y/o, either. Beast Wars left so much vague and unaddressed. How Maximal (and Predacon) society actually works. Plus, in The Agenda, they do seem to have reverence/respect for Ravage. He was just a cassette. How would Primal react to the chosen leader of the Autobot's future?

They (or at least Bob) deserve to be ones to tell us how Maximal and Predacon society works and such, not some new writer with no ties to their plans.

Heh, if only.

When you think about it that way, you know what this sounds like...

I'm kinda mixed on this.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And, personally, I'd rather they left the old BW cartoon continuity alone if they weren't going to at least have the still-living Bob Forward on hand to address some of that vague stuff, since the old BW cartoon was his and the late Larry DiTillio's baby.

I've often thought the same. Leave Beast Wars alone. None of that: "well these stories happened in between Fallen Comrades and Double Jeopardy". Bastardise/adapt G1 all you like, but leave the series that actually consistent narratives to the creatives behind them.
