What more is there? They already did a Pre-Beast Wars theme w/ the original BW characters. What more do you want?
More pre-beast wars, yeah they did main cast already, just have a new on composed of the odd-ball characters from beast wars and beast machines. Funpub dosen't need to outline another alternate universe; just do what they did with stunticon job and dawn of the futures past, be part of a pre-established continuity, just be another story in in the mythos; dawn of the future's past two: electric boogaloo.
Not sure if I agree with electric boogaloo... but I do agree that I'd rather see them enrich an existing mythos rather than stretch the brand thinly across multiple shallow continuities.
Technically... this IS existing mythos, guys. It's at least four to five years old come this year. It's just only now getting some attention (and a NAME) after all these years of going unexplored outside of a single bio description. And I for one have waited, and waited,
and WAITED for them to go back to this continuity and give it some proper development and analysis, and now at long last, they are
finally getting off their hides and getting down to business with this.
Though I would have preferred them to not have included the words "Beast Wars" verbatim in the title (since there were no "beast wars" in this continuity, making it more like "Beastless Wars"), but I guess they had to go with what folks would recognize so as to help people understand it better.
So I welcome this dark counterpart to the Beast Era that came about nearly a decade ago, as it gives us some brand new territory while paying tribute to what came before without having to be confined and restricted by the old material, and freeing it up to become its own identity.
