visually didnt age well but the story is stellar.
bold statement friend!
also, rattrap is great.
"What's it like?, being a Preadacon?"
"Like having 10 megs of personality on a 5 meg drive"
Did they edit out the violence?
Canadian versions of shows are usually less edited than American versions.
>Preadacon
I agree, robots turning into vehicles has never interested me
Just the name changed because they thought it would scare off parents on YTV
The toys were still branded Beast Wars though and came out before the show causing confusion when Beasties first aired as kids like me had no idea what the fuck a Beasties was
I think they just didn’t want War in the title.
Like War Planets -> Shadow Raiders
For a while, though Beasties was another term for Furries.
I want a continuation of Beast Wars that ignores Beast Machines and continues with Megatron arriving as a prisoner on Cybertron and awaiting trial. Primus can get some new orders from Leo Prime, the Tripredicus Council can be the new baddies, and all the while Megs still running his agenda even behind bars (escaping at end of season 1 or 2). I think it would be great. I would even take this in a comic form.

>The Furry Boys
nope in Canada it's uncut aside from the title, the American airings had tone downed violence.
That's hilarious.
Shit, really? Any clips around that show the difference in violence? Are the American DVD's edited?
No. Beast Wars or bust. Beasties doesn't strike me as something one would take with a more standard seriousness.
I too would like to have a continuation of the original show without Beast Machines, but let's be serious here. We'll a Beast Wars in another reality one day. Didn't the guys at Hasbro say they would make one once the G1 fad rolls over?
The Japanese Beast Wars are good, watch those. The second one just got full English subtitles last month. Lio Convoy & Big Convoy are cool leaders & theres a crossover movie with Primal
The third one is fully subtitled too.
i think it's documented on the wiki.
the DVDs are unedited i think aside from the opening of the Season 1 DVD being the shorter 30 second intro instead of a 1 minute.
The censored American airings were only theFox Kids airings.
ah ok thanks i did not know that
Those? They are fine. But I'll wait for the west finally producing a new Beast Wars cartoon. One that would focus on Maximal/Predacon relationships.
I’d love to see more beast wars too, but it seems that the G1 circlejerk will never end.
Hope never dies and I'm hoping like crazy here.
You are the kind of user worthy of the utmost respect.
I only am skeptical that if they ever did a BW cartoon, and they included Dinobot, would they make his sacrifice as good as the original?
>would they make his sacrifice as good as the original?
No. Heck, I fear that they will make Blackarachnia stay evil like they did in Animated.
Animated was different in her regards due to Cybertronians being paranoid over anything organic. Which led her to mistrusting everyone (and being mentally conflicted), thus never fully reforming.
In BW's case, it took a serious betrayal and stubborn love of Silverbolt to make her consider joining the Maximals, and going TM2 to finally cement her status as fullblown Maximal.
Good show, hated that I had to be awake at 6 am to watch it as a kid.
that title sounds like some sort of beastiality group
These were some of the censored bits for those curious.
Damn, I'll have to buy her. I just can't resist how wonderful she looks.
Animated was half-baked, but it seems she was never going to reform even if they weren't cancelled.
Phelan, what are you doing here?
We’d all see it a mile coming
Makes sense, weren’t they getting a bunch of shit over Power Rangers?
Either way it’s the same reason nobody threw a punch in the Spider-Man cartoon.
Power Rangers is sooo tame.
I dolike Primal over Prime, but if we're going that route, Rex > Gun
Duck>cassetteplayer
The Duck was Soundwave?!
It is spelled "bestiality."
Its not our fucking fault all the good will earned with Beast Wars was thrown out with machines
What was the shit storm like at the time? I always see people saying a lot freaked over Wars at first but I wonder what happened with machines
Well, the toys didn't sell so Hasbro got the message loud and clear. Too bad they misunderstood it.
Beast Wars!
Thanks!
T-Rex is a no contest.
wat
Somehow managed to be worse than G1.
2/10
That's not exactly rocket science.
>this is fine
>having the word "war" in the title of a show isn't
What's Canada's deal?
tfw you thought for years that Dan Didio being the one that raped Beast Wars into Beast Machines was a meme but it's real
Unironically Didio.
truely an evil man.
>DUDE GROSSOUT CARTOONS!
In the 2010s. No wonder their animated output is considered a joke almost universally.
I wouldn't call him evil, just idiotic.
it hurts being Canadian.
Tell me aboot it.
>Beasties
Filthy milk bagging maple leaf.
You have some good stuff hidden.
one idea i had for if i made a new Beast Wars. don't retread Primal and Megatron. I'd make them way different
I on the other hand would've expanded them. Both being descended from Prime and the original Megatron.
Primal being a super-prototype of the Convoy line whose spark was created from a fragment of Prime, whereas Megatron (here Gnashteeth) came into being naturally but was for a time unaware of his heritage and pursued a life as a engineer and researcher before going down the path of a criminal enforcer and later a Predacon commander. Primal despite being the precursor to the Convoy type commanders of the Maximal Empire, wasn't so interested in military affairs and wanted to explore the galaxy like his original incarnation, while Gnashteeth had difficulties in life due to the Maximal/Predacon differences which let him grow more and more disillusioned with visible injustice of the post-Great War and post-Energy Crisis Cybertron.
Also if going with a new Beast Wars cartoon, one of the things I'd highlight would be the Maximal/Predacon relationships and how the neutral Cybertronians favor the former over the latter due to prejudice against the latter due to being descendants of Decepticons. So much that a the ruling Maximals are seeing this as a massive problem they are trying to fix. And one of the many reasons Gnashteeth turns to villainy is not him having every single idea he had torpedoed in favor of anything non-Predacon (that was the starter), but namely having his fellow Preds also treated like slag. This would cause him to discover that at one point he is Megatron's descendant, rename himself and cross paths with Primal who at this point was relegated to work as public law enforcer until the events of the cartoon caused the Maximal Council to gather a team to pursue rogue Predacon Leaders in a cold-war-esque, spec-ops cloak and dagger Beast Wars through a remote solar system colonized by humans without them noticing the two factions.
Beast Wars in the present day?
Yeah, but unbeknownst to humans. Think like how it's handled in the 2015 RiD, but without any interactions. They simply are, but in the background. Though the story would focus on a solar system colonized by humans and which is used as one massive series of biodome superstructures to preserve animals and resurrect extinct ones. There the two factions race to find an artifact from the times when the Primes came into being. The Preds want to use it to establish their rightful place on Cybertron, while the Maximals are here to stop them without causing a political scandal.
The Maximals later discover to their horror the artifact is in fact a seal in which the Primes imprisoned the very first Unicron Spawn, who unlike a bot normally described as coming from Unicron, is a monster that was born from part of the Chaos Bringer's essence. It proved so powerful that Megatronus and the Requiem Blaster only slowed its advance. The only way was to buy Solus enough time to forge a seal that would suck it in, imprison it and then send it off to some dead system unknown to anyone else. The only reason why everyone forgot about it was the data being destroyed during the Great War. Now the Maximals go triple in order to get to the artifact first before it ends with something more than a political scandal or an annihilated system.
You went grand, I like it.
And the scariest part about it? It was born when a piece of Unicron containing a piece of his essence somehow managed to enter Primus during their titanic, void-quake causing fight. Instead of just dying, it laid dormant since it couldn't do anything inside the Lifebringer. The darn monstrosity manifested itself after the Matrix of Leadership was created and used it as a portal to escape Primus's interior to cause havoc, death and spilling destructive entropy left and right.
That's creative and puts a nice spin on things.
Thanks lad. Also really hoping that one day we'll get that new Beast Wars show. One way or another.
It's almost offensive we haven't gotten one.
atleast link the fucking intro user youtube.com
And it's 20th anniversary was three years ago. Hoping they'll remember it in 2021 when the 25th anniversary comes by.
>Primal won the vote and they were oh so surprised
Hey, at least there's Cyberverse
>Hey, at least there's Cyberverse
Any new episodes? Also still not enough.
Nope, new episodes this fall. And obviously it isn't. There's more to life than G1.
i disagree.
Will wait. Will wait for it all. Even heard there was big interest in Beast Wars and the Beast Era in general, but we need to wait.
Beast Wars Neo and II got translated at last, so there's that at least.
Yeah. That's a plus.
i just love the fact Ryoka Yuzuki is most definitely gonna voice her when it gets dubbed in Japanese since the dub is directed by the guy who did Beast Wars.
>Ryoka Yuzuki as Blackarachnia
The dominatrix is strong here. Love it.
How is the Jap dub?
Almost like a gag dub.
Oof...sexy.
she's a good fit for Blackarachnia.
yeah it's basically a gag dub. for example.
Airachnid is a silly yandere serial killer, Nightscream is a flaming homosexual and Cyberverse Shockwave is a loud angry person.
>Cyberverse Shockwave is a loud angry person.
He always looks pissed, though.
that's somewhat fair but it's a bit too much at the time. especially since Shockwave is cold and analytical.
funny enough Shockwave and Grimlock have the same VA in the dub just like how in English they have the same VA.
>funny enough Shockwave and Grimlock have the same VA in the dub just like how in English they have the same VA.
I did not know that, cool. I better watch more of the dub.
>MRW
Exactly.
Story time when?
Tomorrow? or is it already available?
>Most trusted,competent, and loyal confidant
The Duck was Soundwave
That changes everything
>When you find the .webm needed in another thread
Funny how that works.
Perfectly understandable.
oh shit
Kino
Mmm waifu.
Hyper cute, where is this from?
from that IDW one shot comic that was fembot focused. Mairghread Ann Scott wrote how Airrazor was her favourite character in Beast Wars character how Airrazor essentially inspired her to write for Windblade. It's cheesy but i can't help but smile at this story.
Man, if there was ever any doubt that Scott is a hack, that proves it.
She was mostly right in the money. It was a nice story and it's nice to see Airazor get some love.
Best Megatron.
I liked transmetals having organic elements in their robot form, wish that'd been played up more
They arguably played with that more when they did Transmetals 2
Definitely, they gave the toys a lot of character. Turned Iguanus into a pirate-looking motherfucker.
He looks badass.
Let's not forget the most famous of them all.
Cybershark was one of the toys I really wanted to see as a character in the show. Same with this guy.
Your chance of getting a new cartoon or cgi beastwars is zero. You know what not even zero more like negative 100 percent chance, because God hate ever transformer fans.
>Prowl 2
Most if not all of Transmetals 2 was awesome.
Man, you sure suck at trolling.
And then there's Optimus Minor.
Yep, definitely most.
...
y'all just a bunch of rootin' tootin' rascals. yeehaw.
He and Inferno went out in such a cheap way. I liked the dynamic they and Waspinator had.
>Will Dan DiDio ever stop?
i didn't like him at first but then i realized it was better than having boring scorponok. yeah, they were kind of like the three stooges. their incompetence was entertaining.
What would Canada change Star Wars to?
Starries?

That name just sounds like it's the tie in breakfast cereal
Wonder what may be the prize.
And he makes bathtime so much fun.

The show sure as hell didn't show her any love. Barely got to do much before the season ended, then got killed off.
Poor girl didn't deserve any of that.
Based Kaye.
Machine Wars could've been Machinies.
It's crazy how the tone shifts between season one and two
Everyone gets more development, all the major plot points of the season are foreshadowed and they totally trimmed characters that had run their course (Terrorsaur, Tigatron) or didn't do much to begin with (Scorponok, Airrazor)
The sugar in it transforms your kid from thin to fat.
I hate how expensive these are on ebay now. I wish I still had my childhood collection.
Scorponok got killed because Inferno was much more entertaining in his role as the stupidly-loyal zealot. Terrorsaur's death almost went to Waspinator instead, but everybody loved the dumb bug too much.
I think killing off Scorponok and Terrorsaur was a good move, really. The Agenda trilogy or Code of Hero might not have had quite as much gravity if those goofballs had been prominent predacons.
Here's hoping you can someday.
Kek. RIP Dinobot.
This is awesome.
Actual feature.
Transformers #7 Storytime
thanks will read later
You are welcome.
Always imagined Cybershark to be Pirate Robin to Depth Charge's Primusdamned Manta Bot not!Batman.
HOOT, HOOT MOTHERFUCKER!
>A magnificent giant soars through the oceans in regal silence. Depth Charge was commissioned by Optimus Primal to act as a first line of defense against Predacon undersea aggressors. Though he would rather study military strategies than execute them, Depth Charge is a dedicated fighter and inspired leader. Nuclear cybershark drone conducts recon missions, doubles as reinforcement in battle, and fires dual proton torpedoes. Intermediate space-cruiser mode can achieve planetary orbit or withstand the deepest oceanic pressures. As a robot, he fires shrapnel grenades from his chest and can maintain a force field for five mega cycles. With unshakable nerves and Energon-cutlass in hand, Depth Charge leads his brave platoon into battle.
>Detecting Predacon activity from over 20,000 fathoms below the ocean surface, Cybershark hunts his enemies at over 600 knots. From there, little room is left for escape. Armor-piercing, jaw-mounted sonar tracer torpedoes have water-to-air capabilities. Spin-drive tail boosts speed and acts as quad-blade razor weapon in attack and robot modes. Also deploys thruster jets for higher speed and limited low-level flight. A fierce warrior, Cybershark honed his skills while bounty hunting a rogue band of Cybertronian space pirates. Fully dedicated to the Maximal cause, he often follows his own methods to the frustration of his commander, Depth Charge. Calculating and fearless, he gives Predacons a good reason to stay out of the water.
Man, they are made for each other.
Wished that Cybertron wasn't so CGI heavy...
Cybertron's CGI was fine enough. It was Energon's that sucked hard.
They finally got it right with Cybertron for maximum toy accuracy.
Cybertron remembered how to do cool transformations again after Energon shat the bed. Compare:
R.I.D. youtube.com
Armada youtube.com
Energon youtube.com
Cybertron youtube.com
Speaking of shitting the bed, while that Armada clip is cool, they completely fuck up Overload's transformation. Instead of the cool sliding parts transfer the toy does, in the animation they just partsform and fly around. That actually put me off buying the toy when I was younger.
PO'd it since I got lucky with my Megatron having no qc issues.
Shine on, you crazy diamond.
Partsforming never looks good and I agree with what you said about Cybertron. Some fantastic engineering right there.
Wow, I like that not-partsforming
Translation?
Hey, I like Minor.
I can sort of see it.
Air-razor was a bitch of a stuck up. So is Windblade.
>t I had to be awake at 6 am to watch it as a kid.
Here in Puerto Rico we were lucky that it aired at 3:30pm on weekdays. Of course it later left us in a cliffhanger because Telemundo never bought the transmetal seasons.
>Of course it later left us in a cliffhanger because Telemundo never bought the transmetal seasons.
Cheapskates.
>because Telemundo never bought the transmetal seasons.
>And then Munkky flew into the moon
>The End
How hilariously underwhelming.
Related, that dub had the exact same actors as Latino Simpsons, I shit you not.
>That Homer Simpson as Optimus Primal
They really, actually aren't and you seem to have issue with women in general.
Based dub.
The only legit bad Windblade is the Prime Wars one.
Beast Machines sucks.
Good thing it never happened and was just a collective delusional fever dream.
I mean, an organic that transforms into an organic? You'd have to be a complete dunce to put that in Transformers instead of Animorphs
Yeah, whatever happened to that plant girl, that's the only thing that happened.
He could be worse.
I miss Rubber Ducky.
I thought he voiced Tarantula instead.
Yeah, Latino Reverend Lovejoy voiced Primal.
>The sound of Megatron squishing his ducky becomes the source of Hasbro's "squee" sound effect, most commonly heard in That One Show.
It never ends
Anyone else wish they'd gone with more of the actual toy profiles as the basis for the Predacons' personas? Terrorsaur as a feral berserker and Waspinator as a legitimately scary killer could have been a lot of fun.
Toy Tarantulas was a dumbass ninja warrior.
At least the better color scheme got to be on another show..
For better or worse.
I'd say for better, he got to endear himself with many fans and he just keeps showing up.
The characters were very different, maybe if they did a comic...
>Air-razor was a bitch of a stuck up.
how?
Pretty much this, that makes no sense whatsoever.
>Reverendo Alegría
Seriously though, Megatron was Willie el Jardinero.
