For real though, I'd like to hear from the dude who designed the Vehicons, because those were the only good thing about this series.

No, more people like Beast Machines nowadays then they did back then. Liking it has become increasingly less minor since.STngAR wrote:I enjoyed Beast Machines. Maybe I'm in the minority?
I wrote this in another thread:
Sabrblade wrote:Honestly, Beast Machines is the most highbrow and most tightly-written series we've ever gotten. From start to finish, it feels like the writers knew exactly what they were doing going into it with very little of anything feeling like it was forced in at the 11th hour (there are traces of such things in there, but it's exceedingly minor). It took its audience seriously and engaged us on an intellectual and philosophical level (You know, for kids! ), asking and exploring big questions and high-minded concepts that no other series (let alone other kids cartoons of the time) were willing to ask and explore. It dug deep into the soil of the lore to plant the seeds of its own mythos to add to all that came before. It took risks and pushed itself to show just how far it could go with its potential, revolutionizing the brand's mythology and forever changing it for years to come.

They should be releasing all of the original TF shows in Bluray as well.
It doesn't make sense. HUB network used to show the G1 show in HD, and it was quite a big difference.

No TF cartoon aside from Animated, Prime, and Rescue Bots exists in an HD format.brawn1228 wrote:Can anyone please explain to me why this is not being released on Blu-ray instead of DVD format?

If they were to put this on Blu-Ray, it'd likely look no different on Blu-Ray than it would look on DVD, thus defeating the point of a Blu-Ray release.
