This is awesome! Beast Wars is my favorite series & now I get to see how Megs did it!

That was pretty awesome

Nice, I wanted to see some prime megs action though

by **OptitronPrime** » Wed Jan 09, 2008 7:04 pm

I've always wished they showed how he got the golden disk and know we know
Edit:Why did they make Cyrotek Shockblast I mean with all the other toys? Still I'd love a cgi TF series like this oly based on G1

David Kaye back as BW Megatron! Sweet! Like the "traditional" styling base on the toys. They had to be something pre-Beast Wars!

Nice to hear David Kaye's Megatron again (his BW Megs, not the crappy wannabe-Megatrons from Armada, etc...)

The animation isn't so bad, but not up to what I had hoped. Shortround is brilliant as Scorponok, I hope they end up making a figure of him.

Sweet!!! This is awesome!!

Still haven't had it with sound, but I am loving it!

The redeco figures are fit the characters origional figures terrificly!

Man, another episode of Beast Wars, I never thought I'd get to enjoy this!

Apparently the videos are no longer available

No longer around? Don't know what you mean. I just saw them now for the first time.

News Credits: 2 · by **Stickshift** » Wed Jan 09, 2008 9:20 pm

It's back up now!

Overall, not bad. The second half lacked pace (could have been done in 3 mins instead of 7) with some additional lines from the cast and a stronger soundtrack. But hey! I couldn't have done better myself so I should shut my yap! It was still very enjoyable and it'd be good to see further installments.

News Credits: 8 · by **Liege Evilmus** » Wed Jan 09, 2008 9:27 pm

So I just saw it with sound and watched it a million times over.
(just go to YouTube if the pulled it)

Well, all I can say now is PLEASE, OH PLEASE, GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was sweet. I miss Beast Wars. The next TF show should be CGI and take place in between G1 and Beat Wars. And have no damn humans. I just wish i could download this so i could put it on my PSP.

I watched it twice this morning! I have been waiting for this for sometime (since I was sent the first "trailer") and I was not disappointed! I had NO idea that they were actually gonna use David Kaye as Megatron..and when I heard his voice, I squealed like a psychotic fan-girl!! It was wonderful to hear him as Megatron in something new!
The story was good, but it ended too soon...I was hoping it would lead directly into Beast Wars, with Darksyde leaving Cybertron with Axalon in pursuit....I would have actually fallen out of my chair for that one! :grin:

Overall, I enjoyed it emmencely!

Wasn't bad, but some things just missed from it... Not one word from Dinobot, but the Tarantulas laugh was good. Oh well, I just hated those "anti-BW" remolds :roll:

. All together, not a bad fan-movie, but not canon either.
6/10

I just watched , i didn't think it was all that great , the animation was slow, Megatrons voice sounded like it was just sound clips taken from the beast wars show and just pieced together. Music sounded like stuff from buckrogers days. And why did they use they butt ugly bot forms from botcon, megatron is the only decent looking one from that set. Dinobot with that stupid bucket hand. Would have been much better if they used just basic robot forms like how they show Megatron as in the first episode of beast wars when he is sitting in his comand chair..

Well At least they didnt try and charge money for that lol.

Actually, the Club does recognize this as the official prequel to Dawn of Future's Past (as the video was released by us), so yes, it is canon...

Would you be ok with more proto-humans?

No kind of humanoid fleshy creatures at all. I hate humans in TF shows. they mess every thing up.

Can I get an "amen"? Squishies do not belong in the same show with TFs, period.

A cool human idea would be army guys instead of annoying kids. At least they could do something

The only cool humans I've seen so far in Tf is the Circuitbreaker and Captain Fanzone.

it's always a pleasure hearing David Kaye as BW Megs... i really liked the story but where were the known maximals ?
can someone post a picture of scorponok ? i didn't recongnize him in this video. i thought i saw waspinator and tarantulas.
