Beast Wars was cool. Not quite as cool as the original but far superior to RID and the unicron trilogy

Ya.Who was your favorite on Beast Wars?

by **Malicron** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 5:30 pm

First: Yes, I have the entire series. Beast Wars is what started me on Transformers and is very dear to me.

Second: My favorite character was always Rattrap. “We’re all gona die” pretty much sums up my outlook on life.

Ya.I like Cheetor. :MAX:

I really enjoyed Beast Wars. It was easily the strongest TF cartoon to date.

As the first transformers show to have a running storyline, instead of stand alone episodes really made it a much stronger series.

The writing team did an excellent job on their characters, and the technological limits of CGI in the 90's also turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

I all the BW 1st to 3rd series on DVD and it easily surpasses the Unicron trilogy a long way.

Frankly, most 60’s horror files are better than the Unicron trilogy.
(It might be better in Japanese, I don’t know.)

Sorry, what I ment to say was The Unicron Trilogy dub sucks but the japanese versions surpass the dubs a long shot.

No other Transformers series released yet can compare to the awesomeness to Beast Wars. I can't pick a favorite character because I like a lot of the characters.

I do have a question; Does anyone think Ravage should've been added to the Predacon team after the Agenda three parter?

by **AUTOBOT STITH** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 11:55 am

Ya I think so.What was he a lion?

Ericus Prime - Yes, even though Ravage didnt have a very big role in BW, I think he should have stayed with the preds before buying the farm.

AUTOBOT HELPER - Ravage is a Jaguar, always has been :lol:

I think that would have tipped the scales in the Pred's favour far too much.

I have all the Beast Wars episodes, but not the DVDs. :WHISTLE:

I'm not so sure about that. Granted, he's got millions of years of combat experience (which the Maximals and Predacons don't) and a high-tech ship -- can't recall right now what it was -- the Tripredacus Council lent him.

The Agenda arc downplayed Ravage's abilities because after watching those episodes, I come away with the feeling that the only reason the Decepticon was such a threat was due to him having that fighter ship. That and, quite frankly IMO, he died too easily. Maybe it's just me, but I think the writers could've made it into a five- or six-parter so as to avoid that kind of perception.

They didnt have the time to give Ravage the 5-6 parter that he did need (and it could have been used to flesh out the "downgrading" from Autobots and Decepticons into Maximals and Predacons) with only 13 episodes in seasons 2 and 3, there just was no room for him, and what episodes would you have dropped from seasons 2-3 to accommodate the extra episodes?
Each episode of Beast Wars was important.

I just got BW Season 1, and man, oh man is it ever fun to watch. Although G1 is where my heart lies, BW does an absolutely incredible job of telling a story, and it's a crucial part of G1 canon at any rate.

"Possession" has got to be one of the best episodes of any TF series for me, bar none. Starscream in Waspinator's body = massive ownage.
