My post in this other thread should speak volumes of how much I'm into Beast Machines.

So? Why would it need to be in English? It stands tall in its own language, and without needing to fit into the American continuity.sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Oh, I love Beast Machines.

I couldn’t get in to rescue bots and while I enjoy mass the floors it’s really not up there for me though that make me simply because there’s no real official English representation

Though, the old Malaysian English dub was technically official for its market, but... yeah, no need to look at that.

Ginrai became optimus prime...I don't mean he transformed into prime, but they changed every instance of his name to optimus prime. It was crazy.

Much like the bad English dub from Malaysia, the Shout! Factory DVDs used a lot of the Hasbro character names for the Japanese characters in their subtitles, including some of the human "-master" characters. They also changed a few things like renaming Chokon Power into different types of energon, which makes no sense since it isn't energon.sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:Maybe I should buy a shout DVD release see if I can get behind the subs

I myself watched the series online using the TV-Nihon fansubs and found those to be serviceable for me. But if you can instead find either the UK DVD set from Metrodome or the Australian DVD set from Madman, those would be preferable to Shout!'s inaccurately-subtitled DVD release.

Are those sets region free?

Yes. That, and more.ZeroWolf wrote:Ah is that the episode which included the information about the transector which ginrai obtained and why it looked like prime? I was a little bit annoyed that the episode wasn't included but not enough to dampen my love for masterforce

That was one episode. One. The Season 1 finale. He wasn't like that in any other episode of the show.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Primal too. From level headed and decisive commander to irrational zealot??

Can I ask you to elaborate on that bolded sectionAllNewSuperRobot wrote:Megatron's entire arc was excellent, even the strange Noble/Savage part (which you may notice I did pay homage to in my own writing). In an understated way, they really played up how holding the Spark of G1 Megatron had seriously corrupted him on a fundamental level. Something Beast Wars never even hinted at

People might mock it and some G1 fans I've talked to may really dislike it, but I think Go-Bots could really work with a Modern revamp. It's a shame it's stuck in Rights Limbo, perhaps forever...
