yeah, i did find humor in that. that's one sad thing about BM; it DID not have its own share of many comedic moments unlike the original Beast Wars. funny moments are few and between, and mostly these were situational comedies rather than the punchline-oriented humor BW had.
Pyrostrata wrote:Beast Machines was a bit more "tree-huggin' hippy-dippy" than Beast Wars, which is one of the reasons I did not enjoy it as much.
i did not like this aspect at all; the concept of Primal doing Zen meditation to connect with the Oracle (who was very ambiguous to a large extent) and Cybertron as having an organic core. just doesn't sit well with me, even almost a decade after watching the first few episodes of this series.

Getting rid of said beast form, however, was difficult for him....and frustrated him to no end! Megs was never one to not get what he wanted when he wanted it, and denial of thus pissed him off!
yes, yes... quite an insight you got there. i never thought of it that way, and based on his actions both in BW and BM, it DOES make sense.
