This is the Vizier

Wait, I don't think I got that, is that Graveheart fellow some kind of hero or a leader, or is he just a miner

Starts as miner becomes hero

He's just a miner
In case you're not playing on the joke he's the main character but extremely reluctant to be for a while. He constantly spouts that he's just a miner despite being the man holding all of these squabbling space fucks together

No other 3D show gets the mood or style this show had.

I'm counting The Clone Wars.

>In case you're not playing on the joke
nah, I was

What a shame.

It's such a fucking shame, I personally think it just might be better than both Reboot and Beast Wars.

The characters are fantastic, and I always admired the simplicity of the wordbuilding - the setting feels like it's alive and has history, despite the fact that we're never given any loredumps. We only ever know just enough knowledge of the setting to understand the currently ongoing story, no more, no less, but it never feels barren.

I loved Macross Frontier back in the day though. The original Macross, surprisingly, is nothing like it.

Ice cold. Also

>continuous space racial slurs
Based show. They got pretty creative too.

I really want to know where the cinematic composers of this sequence are working now.

Maybe they're still there, doing the Barbie films?

I had a bunch of the toys. Beast Planet was cool as fuck and you could put other planets in it. I thought putting Bone Planet in kind of sucked because the tentacles made it harder to fit right but it was still pretty fucking awesome.

>tfw too poor as a kid for the toys.

I am sorta glad that the show didnt get a final season, because there was no way they could have beaten for real the Beast Planet without some sort of lame deus ex machina.

>planet reptizar
>on doomsday

That moment you realize the heroes just threw the problem at other innocent people.

Feels good to have had a mommy that loved me

H-hahaha yeah
I mean I didn't need my old stuff anyway...
I'm sure the money she got for selling it went to an important cause

They didn't really have any options left. Everything they had tried was ineffective against the beast. Teleporting it away was all they had left. And besides they didn't know about reptizar anyway.

Don't tell me your mommy doesn't still let you live at home for free. That would be embarrassing.

I was in high school at the time
That was 10 years ago mind you.
Haven't even spoken to the woman in 6.

They weren't heroes so much as running for their lives and trying to save their own people. The Beast Planet is pretty much the most brutal enemy ever.

Didn't you see the poster? This is drama and tragedy.

I'm sorry your mommy doesn't love you user. I'll hug mine extra tight tonight, just for you.

the implied lore with the connection between the precursor tech of the world engines and the beast planet would probably have come into play

How well does this show hold up? I remember watching it on and off as a kid but never really had the chance to watch all of it from start to finish.

pretty good

The writing holds up great.
The graphics hold up surprisingly well, much better than both Beast Wars and Reboot, which look very dated. The specific style that War Planets chose really works well.

Very well. The writing is good. The graphics in the first few episodes are a bit rough, but they get better.

The puns....well, you have to forgive them the puns.

Really well actually. For how old it is they can have quite a bit happening at once especially during the space scenes

VAs are all great, music is great

It's still my favorite animated show. I watch it every so often and I still love it.

Must be cool to be you.

>The puns....well, you have to forgive them the puns.
you say it like puns are a bad thing

The Beast Planet is still one of my favorite antagonistic forces in fiction.

Is this some Satellite City shit? if so I'm out.

There's just a lot of them. A lot. And I adore the show but fuck me there's a lot of puns.

It's genius in its simplicity and absolute horror.

Vizier was a cunt to pretty much everyone, but he saved all his best hate for Cryos. I wonder what got him so butthurt.

Remind me, besides the Beast still needing to be stopped, what other plot threads were left unresolved?

Who the fuck made the world engines. What the Beast Planet even is. Jade being Queen now. The teleport engine that was on Prison Planet. And probably some other stuff. They would probably try to find more planets to join the Alliance too.

I would really, really love to see a prequel to this show. Some story about how Mantle rose to power, Pyros' parents died, Femur overthrew his brother and so on.
The sheer potential of it makes my fanfiction bone itch.

Was there a video game made off this?

The graphics style looks like I'm watching 95-2000s video game cinematics.

Don't even, it would be amazing. It's such a damn shame this show never became popular enough to even spawn some comics.

I would like to know more about bug society because it seems both horrible and hilarious.

No, this is footage from the show. It aired in 98 and 99 so that's pretty much what #D animation was capable of at the time.

3D, Jesus I'm retarded

Did I imagine it or did fire planet women wear a burka type thing?

>"And you! Eater of Worlds! May you taste our righteous fire and choke on it! For my planet's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!"

It's Unicron, but not shit.

The War Planets are obviously artificial. None of the worlds are self-sufficient.

Someone made them. Then they fucked off.

>introducing itself with an FTL shot of pinpoint accuracy across a fucking star system to one-shot one of the biggest, nastiest military units its enemy has

The Beast Planet never gets a line, but it does know how to make an entrance

They obviously hadn't readied the fold out model yet, but it's weird that the shot came out of its junk.

Yeah, it's just so malevolent and implacable. It keeps coming. Every victory you have is hollow. Destroy its drones? It will spawn more. It has an infinite number to call upon, so your victory means nothing.

The first season was the culmination of the alliance between the four planets, they discovered and then assaulted the Beast's secret base within planet Remora. They were on the cusp of victory... and the Beast planet emerged to make all of that Pyrrhic.

They begin running from the Planet, but Fire's engines are too damaged. The Vizier rams his world straight into the Beast's maw... and it eats him and planet Fire all the same. Rig planet Plant to detonate its world engines inside the Beast? It get a bit of indigestion.

The Beast just keeps coming and all you can done is run and hope that maybe this time... maybe this time...

Maybe that's why people still remember this show, it's a pretty heavy concept for a kid's show. A villain with no motive but destruction, with no emotions, not even hate or anger. It just wants to feed and feed and feed . That's a pretty big thing to wrap your mind around as an 8 year old.

Plus, a healthy dose of space politics and space raycism.

Exactly, you had all the little victories. You even had... ugh... the Fire and Ice kids taking out Beast drones with rocks to their generators, but all those happy moments meant nothing in th end, because the Beast was still there. It forced them to run, refugees on their own planets. It kept chasing them, always after them. Its servants had personalities, but the Beast itself was just relentless, implacable hunger. You couldn't kill it, you couldn't slow it. "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. ... And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."

In the end, the only hope for survival was... send it somewhere else. Hopefully bad for it, but there were no other options... and as the closing scene showed us, the Beast was still there and still hungry...

Who would be retarded enough to make something like the Beast planet?

It's us, probably. Good old dumb humanity.

Gaston:TheBeastwill make off with your children! He'll come after them in the night!
Belle::No!

Gaston:We're not safe 'til his head is mounted on my wall! I say we kill the Beast!
Man 1: We're not safe until he's dead
Man 2: He'll come stalking us at night
Woman: Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite!

He knew.

I think another plot thread would be Sternum trying to reclaim the throne from his bro. Also, the Alliance finding a suitable planet for the Fire people.

And I think it is possible that Jewelia may have been from a new planet that would have found in the third season. While she had some visual similarities with the Rock people, nobody else had horns or those weird cross shaped eyes.

There is an ep in the second season where the Beast lays a pretty elaborate trap (it recreated the Fire Planet) that more or less established that it is giving chase out of spite, the damn thing HATED that somebody escaped its grasp.

...I just now realized it was Jewelia and not Julia.

This whole time I thought 'wow, that's a pretty human name for a horned alien lady'

I think on a certain level he enjoyed digging at Cryos because he was the closest to him in age/maturity. Yeah, it's easy to talk shit about someone completely different from you, but you never get to move past the easy stuff, you know?

Children understand fear from a young age, but this show may well have been some kids' first introduction to the concept of dreadful inevitability.

Why did the Beast Planet even need fighters?

Maybe they wanted to see them fight. Maybe they everything, even the war between the Rock, Fire, Ice, and Bone planets, was just set up to see these planets duke it out. Maybe the entire Shadow Raiders was created...to sell toys...
