I suppose Beast Machines will tell me what shall become of G1 Megatron's spark (it still resides within BW Megz, right?)...I loved the brief return of Dinobot and Waspinator's Happy Ending. The series was as excellent as I'd heard, and is a classic for me now, as well.
In the bonus features. there is a partially constructed deleted scene where Primal returns Megtron's spark. They intended to include it in the episode but either time or money caused them to scrap it. I'm really happy you enjoyed it, and love the way they handled it. The whole "this is all happening because it's meant to" thing they did. it's one of the few sensical ways to explain time travel

I had to look that up myself when I first discovered him. Apparently it's painfully accurate to what a Tanuki is
bodrock wrote:Top 5 MOST WANTED BEASTS:
Mach Kick (BWNeo)
TM Tarantulas (BW)
Rhinox (Generations)
Optimus Primal (PotP)
Magmatron (BWNeo)
Mach Kick and Magmatron have been on my list for some time, but Magma is pretty pricey unfortunately.

YOU STARTED!
If you didn't instantly hate it, that makes me super happy!
bodrock wrote:I'm getting used to Primal's new, spiritual modus operandi, but admittedly miss the fast & loose approach he had in BW. But considering the state Cybertron is in, I really can't blame him for this change....especially since the Oracle saved him and the others we currently have accounted for.
I never really questioned his new spiritual direction. I just thought it was logical after his connection to the Matrix through his mingling with Prime.
bodrock wrote:The tone is definitely dark, but I'm very excited to see who returns, and the ultimate fate of Cybertron. I like Blackarachnia and Cheetor's new looks, and am glad the CG is still by Mainframe Entertainment Inc.
Honestly I never liked BA's new look. Not having feet and all. The toy is pretty great though! I thought Cheetor was super slick though.
bodrock wrote:For any other Beast Wars fans, have any of you watched Neo or Beast Wars 2?
I know little to nothing
I researched it a bit, and I think what I found out was that VHS's or DVD's were very rare, and/or the translations were very poor. Hopefully someday someone like Shout Factory (they're the ones releasing stuff now right?) does them up proper and releases them for us.
