That's got to be cheaper and easier for them, and these days with animation they can get pretty close to reality anyway.

To borrow a phrase from our local sports talk radio station's afternoon hosts, my fanslation of it is this: Lorenzo di Bonaventura says a lot of words that may or may not actually mean anything when they're accurately transcribed in English, and these words make even less sense when Google translates them from a Japanese translation of part of a Chinese article. Also, he may or may not like Cheetor and Waspinator.william-james88 wrote:translate it for yourself and let us know what you derive from it.

But at a cost of around $50,000 per shot, and 2000 shots for an average action film, the movie could be made for $100 million. That could be recouped just in the film's opening weekend.

You saying opening weekend will make 200 million?

And there's also some weird series decisions that were definitely toy refresh driven, like Dragon Megatron (makes no sense) and Transmetal 2.
But overall, the strong characters and the potential for true exploration of guerrilla warfare tactics and CQC is hard to pass up. I'm working on a film treatment right now that pulls from 5 episodes of Season 1, the most important of which is Call of the Wild.

I liked transmetal 2 though, the designs were very unique and made sense looking at them via Megatrons experimentation.
In terms of your budget figures, have you compared the budget to other animated films? Biggest comparison I can think of would be the How to train your dragon series (by virtue of action to characters)?
I think the other factors outweigh any benefits you could point out, how well known is beast wars outside the fandom? What about other markets around the world?
Using bw mp preorders as examples of interest isn't going to work as the number of pre-orders isn't as big as you need to support a movie.
Your opinions are always welcome here. As far as the name calling, not welcome here.
