Goatmon

Tell my tale to those who ask.

Tell it truly; The indeeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

The rest... is silence.

Polago

Prime's all kinds of contemplative there.

And Inferno is wonderful.

I am watching the first season on dvd

I picked up a comic that said Beast Wars on it and it was fucking incomprehensible

who in fuck's name is Lio Convoy

Seg

The Rhinox episode was one of my favorites.

Futore

I thought you had news on some sort of Beast Wars game. That would have been soooo awesome

Convoy is the name for the "Prime"s in Japan.

Beast Wars is the best thing. Cheetahs that are robots. Awesome.

fightinfilipino

Beast Wars in the US is awesome.

Beast Wars the Second and Beast Wars Neo are utter crap.

In the image in the OP it looks like prime is contemplating why he hasn't transformed yet. That, or who to throw poo at first.

Firematic.

Didn't they have a Beast Wars episode where somehow the regular autobots et al got woken up, and the Primes had like, a chit chat?

speaking of Convoy I saw this in a comic shop



if you can't read the blurb at the top there it says "Pepsi-powered CONVOY rolls into action to quench the thirst of all sentient beings!"

fantastic

Was there a giraffe? I distinctly remember a giraffe.

Not exactly.

In the season 2 finale, Megatron finds the arc. He breaks into it and totals Optimus Prime who is still in stasis after all of them crash-landed on earth a couple million years ago.

At the start of season 3, Optimus Primal takes Prime's spark to keep it safe until they can fix him. After the deed is done, he puts the Spark back and Prime wakes up for a moment, then goes back into stasis.

if you mean they merge sparks when Megatron destroys Optimus Prime's deactivated body then yes

Beated, Shoe.

No one will trumph me in Beast Wars trivia.

That sounds like the beginning of some awful fan fiction.

Firematic.

Well, it answered the question, at least for me who wasnt a huge transformers person, about "is this like, parallel universe stuff? or the past? or a past-future where everyone has hair and teeth?"

Goose!

I never liked this show. I used to watch the show that came on before it, and then as soon as that show came on, I'd always change the channel.

Not so!

I shall prove you wrong with the power of Youtube.

I should mention that Megatron's monologue on the arc is one of the best things ever.

I stand corrected. That was epic.

Edit: but was there a giraffe?

Okay now pay attention because this is what Ben Yee does to transformers and it hurts my soul to repeat it.


IDW decided to do a Beast wars sequel. Simon Furman was on board but wanted a fresh cast.
They hire Ben Yee - the fanboy that would put CAD fans to shame to be a consultant and help choose this cast and create a fitting backstory.

Ben decides " Hey we should make all the BW toys even the japan only ones into real characters! Even the repaints! "

Simon Furman is like "As long as I can use Grimlock I'm good."

So IDW's editorial staff allows them to just pack in as many awful BW molds as they can into three comics.
I suspect this is because they thought Ben was indicative of an average TF fan.

As you can imagine it did not work well. The actual comic was rushed and the characters were pretty shallow. Unless you had an encylopedic knowledge of shitty BW molds you had no clue who was who or why three guys with identical beast and robot modes were running around.


Then they released the character book because they realized they needed to explain everything.

That however is a story for another time.

I hated the CGI on this show. Something about the way it was rendered was physically painful to my eyes, so I didn't watch much of it.

Probably sucked.

The season 1 finale was pretty awesome as well. Both of them left the series hanging on a really bad situation, while the third closed things up really nicely but left the possibility of keeping the series going elsewhere.

Unfortunately, what came after was total garbage.


And no, there was no Giraffe.

Beast Wars Neo had a Giraffe.
