I got hold of all of them on the net since they are not available any other way. The only one that had english voice over was headmasters. The others had sub titles. Sadly I got what I paid for because after watching 2 episodes of Headmasters, I fell asleep. The voice actors make all the diference. Imagine a show where Blurr talks slow, Wheelie talks like an adult, Soundwave sounds like a human, and all the other characters have absolutley no SWAG in their voices whatsoever. Youve got HEADMASTERS !!!

Doubtful, seeing as how neither Beast Wars Second nor Beast Wars Neo were never released on DVD even in Japan. Only the Beast Wars Special movie got a DVD release there.

BWII and Neo were only ever put out on VHS in Japan.

Am I the only person praying that every episode of the Takara Collection has the Omni dub? I watched Headmasters 3 times over and that dub isn't too bad, it's watchable. Include the English Omni dub people at Shout Factory! :D

The Omni dub is so flat! It cannot convey any bit of sensical emotion! All of the passion and energy of Japanese dialogue was completely lost in the Japanese-->Spanish-->English translation process! It wasn't taken seriously and was rushed like crazy! No real effort was put into it. It completely and utterly failed to convey the deeper emotional impact of the original Japanese versions!

I've seen enough of Beast Wars II to know that show sucks plain and simple.
The animation is crappy, the characters are annonying and stupid, the humor is horrible, and the story (or what passes for a story in this POS series) makes a series like Energon look well written and intellegent. Why anybody would want to see this POS series must really be into a pain.

I sure wish I could have seen enough of Beast Wars II (and Neo) to make my own justified opinion about it. But any subtitled versions that exist are either incomplete, of poor video/audio/sub quality, or both.

Though, I have seen a decent quality subbed version of the BWII movie, which I did enjoy (much moreso than the live action movies).

It's too early to know either of those.

You can pretty much forget about getting Beast Wars Second and Neo, since neither of those has even been released on DVD. Not even in Japan.

In your dreams. There's no way Shout! Factory would take the time to dub any of these. They're a DVD distribution company not a voice dubbing studio. That's not their job.
