Beast Machines grows on you over time, believe me I hated it to begin with.

I was just happy to see the old gang back in action. IDW done some halfway decent comics.

The Gathering I think? I've got them somewhere.

Still hasn't grown on me....maybe by the time I'm 50 or something

>I was just happy to see the old gang back in action. IDW done some halfway decent comics.
Very briefly....extremely desu, they are in it but they're kinda just in the background though or had brief appearances, it mostly just focuses on toy characters who didn't get into the show, which was pretty awesome IMO nonetheless

Beast Machines makes more sense if you think of Primal as being a villain

>Dan DiDio (born October 13, 1959) was an executive at Mainframe Entertainment assigned to the Transformers franchise during the third season of Beast Wars. Dan is best known for being the producer who informed Marv Wolfman that Beast Wars had no ties to the original series and to do as he pleased with Generation 1 continuity when outlining Beast Machines, and then instructed Bob Skir and Marty Isenberg to disregard any previous incarnations of the series in writing Beast Machines, as Beast Wars was too "continuity-heavy".

>In an extremely strange precursor of things to come in Beast Machines, Mainframe's original concept for Rattrap during Beast Wars was to capitalize on the exposed "brain" of the toy and make Rattrap a deeply flawed character. Originally, Rattrap's scanning and transformation technology was to fail, leaving him basically half-formed, with an exposed brain, wiring, "veins", an asymmetrical body, arms of uneven lengths, and malformed organic sections in robot mode. On top of all that, he was hooked up to a "colostomy bag-like heating cable" to stress his need for life support. Rattrap's overall story arc would have been, of course, about him accepting and overcoming his near-fatal flaws. This approach was entirely nixed by the limits of CGI in rendering convincing organic innards at the time... and the fact that his model would have been massively far off from the actual toy probably also factored into it. However, the idea of a defective Transformer was later revisited in season 2 with the introduction of Transmutate. The idea of Rattrap dealing with the limitations of an "inferior" body seems to surface in Beast Machines as well.

Beast Machines bruh. Separate show. Most people will tell you it's the worst thing ever made but it's really just uneven. It's got a bad start and a bad end but there was some really good morally ambiguous conflict going on around in the middle. They just kind of dropped the ball on it.

>>91268355
>Most people will tell you it's the worst thing ever made
It's better than most Transformers animu at least, not that that's saying anything, but it's not the WORST

Transmetal was the shit.

Remember that time Rattrap stood up to Megatron?

To be fair, there was really nothing wrong with the Beast Wars comics from IDW, they were pretty good and pretty much served as a side story for Beast Wars, just using all the characters who never got in the show taking place during Beast Wars but not effecting it, it was pretty much full fanservice

>>91267883
Beast Machines doesn't exist.

I seriously hope you're not implying the original color schemes were good.
They were drab.

>>91269279
Transmetal 1 was the best any bot looked in Beast Wars

>>91269392
Did this comic just not sell at all so it was never continued, or was it never meant to?

How do we not have some sort of continuation to Beast Wars? Like a continuation after season 3?

>>91268355
>>91268613
It's better than Transformers Energon but that's not really saying much. At the end of the day, I just pretend Beast Machines was a horrible fever dream.

It ended when Beast Machines began story wise, pic related was the final page
>How do we not have some sort of continuation to Beast Wars? Like a continuation after season 3?
Beast Machines was the continuation

So why did Megatron wanted to merge as one with Cybertron?

who got fucked over harder rattrap or rhinox

is a hard question

>>91271906
Rhinox, without question. At least Rattrap was still able to be himself. They flat out character assassinated Rhinox, even thinking about what they did to him, to this day, pisses me off.
Yeah, lets take one of the more universally beloved characters of Beast Wars, and a nice guy to boot, and turn him into a total psychopath.

>>91272039
It doesn't even make sense, like at all....Tankor could have been just as effective as he was just being a new character, literally no reason for it other than some idiotic attempt at pretension, which probably defines the whole show

I always liked that time Silverbolt opened his mouth real wide
