The consistent story-line and actual consequences in the show.

Characters died, and unlike most kid shows where they came back when bots died in beast wars they stayed dead. (except for dinobot, but he was cloned, and Optimus, but he did it so many times that the show itself called him on it.)

It also helped that the characters were awesome and entertaining, the voice work was good and still holds up even now, and everyone chewed the scenery like a pig in a trough, lookin' at you Megatron.
>>
>>93026057

Because it was so isolated it made following the series bible incredibly easy. No need to introduce new characters each episode, or new plot elements just to drive one episode. It could have back and forth victories because of the perpetual stuckness of it.

I wish the show had a bigger budget, losing Airrazor, tigatron, terrorsaur and not getting many new characters was a bit of a loss. Rotating around a slightly fuller cast could have been interesting, but seeing characters have to go and getting stuck with one-dimensional villains was unfortunate.

Also it stems from a time in the 90's where everyone was making hit action/drama shows for kids. Batman, X-men, they treated young adults, like... well adults, and din't just try to fart in their face. The competition meant each show had to try. We got such gems as beast wars, Gargoyles, reboot and such. Nowadays, spastic bullshit reigns supreme.

who thought it was a good idea to have them run away for the entire first season and then have rhynox go bad?
>>
>>93030960

Even then, those were of a different genre. Those were more a take on ninja turtles. Moo Mesa was before batman TAS success and it spawned the more serious young adult shows. Anything in the 90-94 is hitcing off of TMNT success. Cartoons took a while to produce greenlit. So it took a while for copy cats to come out. Some did manage to fly out the next year, some did not. We certainly saw different kinds of shows spill out in the 94-98 era of cartoons.

What young adult shows are there today? Rebels? Young Justice? Everything is very much tied to the biggest franchises.

I don't know that I'd consider any show with action figures to be a young adult show

I see what you're saying, but they're all just kids action shows to me, some just happen to be better than others. I don't think think "young adult" was even a demographic anybody considered until like Toonami Midnight Run and Adult Swim started to come out, stuff like Gargoyles, Beast Wars, and Batman all aired at the same time slots as all the other kids shows and sold toys to that same demographic, young boys

Even game of thrones and walking dead have action figures. Its too easy these days to cash in.

Young adult existed in the 90's. The 13-25 crowd was pretty big on shows like Reboot, spider-man x-men. Its why they got to air at different hours. you're wrong about that. Airing weekly at 3:30 vs saturday morning is very different. Many got treated differenly once their success was proven. Got to advertise in gaming magazines, it was a different market share. The goal was always younger boys, but it was realized as an untapped market in 90's and still carries today.

That's these days though, literally everything has an action figure since "nerd chic" has blown up, these are days where comic con is not a convention for sweaty nerds but a multi media destination

And yes, I was wrong about the young adult demo not existing now that I think about it, but I still don't consider any of those shows to be part of it....they were put out as kids shows but some just happened to have more merit than others. To me the "young adult" shows of the day would have been things like Daria, Beavis and Butthead, Aeon Flux, etc etc, certainly not any of the toyetic shows of the day or capeshit aside from maybe HBO's Spawn

Then again maybe we have different ideas on what constitutes as "young adult", to me it would be 16 at the earliest to 25 at the latest, certainly not 13

I remember a series where the gimmick was these Cybertron keys that would activate some special thing when it was inserted. Man that was fucking cool, especially when one of the transformers became a lion, and his key made claws shoot out.

Even still 16-25 is an age commonly seen to have a bit of a disposable income. It's why we got more and more video game tie-ins which weren't yet marketed to kids under 8 at that time. You're not wrong on those MTV shows being young adult, but they're mostly comedy shows.

You have to remember Im saying it changed DURING this time. There is a difference between ReBoots first season and last. Or Justice League coming in the wake of Batman and Superman shows.

They're "young" adult, still not "adult" shows though. Beavis & Butthead delved away from that with "mature" notices.

It was a competitive window in time that was all but destroyed by anime. Why make a new show when you could just dub gundam, or dragon bll z?

>>
>>93035944
See I don't even consider Justice League a young adult show even if it appealed to some adults, to me it was a kids action show, and you bring up DBZ which I view the same way....kids action show in my personal opinion, it ended up seeming more mature to adolescents though in the West because Japan is more lenient towards whats acceptable in a show put out for kids, but still put out for kids nonetheless.

I'll put it this way, I don't think any show that was truly "young adult" in terms of it's primary demographic could ever have Happy Meal toys or have merch at TRU

That being said, action shows have sort of faded out in popularity since around the 09/2010 era but that's because they dominated during the 90s and 00s, trends just change, same reason hair metal died and grunge died and nu metal died and etc etc, cartoons are no different, whats popular will eventually become stale and a new thing will take over, but action shows certainly still exist that took themselves seriously on some level and would have fit right in with the 90s crop they just took a backseat to other shows, we've had Transformers Prime, G.I Joe Renegades, Beware The Batman, Tron Legacy, and hell even the recent TMNT was mature compared to the original show despite it's cutesy design, and Transformers Animated as well wasn't exactly purely aimed super young kids like say Rescue Bots....in short, action cartoons never went anywhere really, they're just not that popular now, maybe because other types of shows have proven to have merit which weren't previously expected to, much like in the 90s certain action shows were proven to have merit and be different than most of their 80s predecessors which were largely seen as little more than toy commercials by the more critical of viewers
>>
>>93036317
What shows do you consider "young adult"? Not to say I call the shows that have been put into question as young adult. They were simply children's shows that treated their audience with the same respect afforded a mature person.

Beavis and Butthead DID have merch at Toys R Us, so Im not really sure I get your argument. I think you just want to ignore what other people did or how things were seen.

If you dont consider batman, beast wars, gargoyles ect. young adult what programming of the same time period do you consider to be? If none, then you're basically saying that companies folded on the idea of selling things to people from age 14-25.

Justice league was an hour long prime time show, the constantly dealt with themes above what a 7 year old should see, if that's not a tier up from kids show, idk wtf you're thinking.
>>
>>93036584
>Beavis and Butthead DID have merch at Toys R Us
Yeah idk maybe not a great point, so ignore that part of my post and consider the rest of it.

My argument is that just because some kids shows have adult fanbases doesn't mean they aren't kids shows nonetheless. I don't consider somebody who is 14 years old to be "young adult", I consider them to be a kid. To me young adult would imply late teens and early 20s, and only the nerds of which age groups would still be watching super hero media and related things, aka people who still watch stuff perceived by their peers to be....you know, for kids, because it's put out for kids

>young adult what programming of the same time period do you consider to be?
Also answering >>93036460
I already said, stuff like Daria, Beavis and Butthead, Aeon Flux, stuff that was clearly put out to target older kids and young adults, not coincidentally having a following from specific pockets of them

I keep having to ignore and correct you on a lot of things. I'll just have to agree to disagree? you're being pretty chill about it, but I just think youre drawing the lines in the sand in odd places. If anything ever had anything sexual in it, I can tell you that was for the young adult audience. Anyway, back to beast wars.

Fox generally made kids shows and WB was more open to the market of teenagers. Beast Wars was made for syndication, its a shame fox got it beast machines would have been way better on WB. Fox was so anal about every little punch. The heroes probably would have been allowed laser guns on WB. I wish hasbro would revisit beast wars. Marvel and DC house huge universes, why not branch out transformers more?

I don't remember any of the shows we're talking about being sexual....and if they were it was in a tongue in cheek nature that was common in 90s kids shows, it was a different time, innuendo was common. Animaniacs had tons of sexual jokes.

>Marvel and DC house huge universes, why not branch out transformers more?
The issue there is that the story has been completed, Beast Wars was eventually made canon to G1, a direct continuation, and BM was a direct continuation of it and served as an ending. That being said it has been explored with the IDW Beast Wars comics which took place during the later part of Beast Wars and ended right before the events of Beast Machines and even made use of most of the characters who never got to appear in the show in major or minor roles, I don't know how much more they could really milk that particular continuity considering it already ended, without retconning BM of course which honestly I really wouldn't have an issue with.

Then there's also the Japanese BW shows, but those are complete ass.

The writers actually knew very little of Transformers so they did their own thing and it worked. They were surprised when people started shouting out things from the original that they never intended that way at all. For example they just wanted to blow up a moon and because they couldn't they put in a second. Only after a while did they realize this and started doing some lose research after pointers from the original Transformers.

Let me guess, you're one of those people that's happy when a movie adapts something from a comic, even if its dumb or doesn't fit the narrative cause "the comic did it" so the movie "did the comic justice" Right? Deviation and change is bad, right?

Beast Wars was a specific storyline that is part of the G1 timeline. Sure, COULD you recreate it? Yes, but why would you? Would you do it the same way? Then you would just be copying what has already been done, are you talking about just using more beast formers? They've been a thing since G1 and continue to exist in nearly every series

>>93042488
>Airazor's gender in the Hasbro line is due to Beast Wars story editors Bob Forward and Larry DiTillio's insistence. The original Airazor toy wasn't developed with a specific gender in mind, and Bob & Larry wanted a larger female presence in the show, and the Airazor toy seemed as good a choice as any. They requested the change early enough that the toy's packaging bio could have its pronouns changed to female.
>In the Japanese dub of Beast Wars, Airazor was made male.

>When the pair are attacked, they both express their love for one another in dialogue primarily unchanged from the English version. Their romantic attraction was a very spontaneous change in the Japanese version of the series and Japanese magazine editors, responding to letters from confused young fans, gently explained the situation. From the letters page of the Beast Wars Club magazine
>Question: "If Tigatron and Airazor are both boys, how come they were flirting when the Aliens abducted them?"

The animation was on a tight budget preventing the writers from adding too many characters, so they had to write the few that they had very well.

The writers also had a lot of creative freedom as well or something. There's a video on youtube that goes into some good detail on how the whole series was made, but I don't remember the name of it.

Because in Animated Decepticons were OP as fuck. They were bigger and stronger than the Autobots and you needed several Autobots to fight a single Decepticon. So, instead of being "the enemies of the week" they were the powerful, endgame enemies. That is why Animated has so much human villains.

That's you. That's how you think.

It doesn't take much to come up with a new idea, I could toss out half a dozen approaches, but the fact that YOU can't comprehend ONE is more telling. Me spewing pitches/fan fiction won't make you a better thinker. You'll still be stuck in you're little box.

I think the word you mean to use is "canon", and yes us "autistic" Transformers fans do argue about that, just as any fandom does because -gasp- we're invested in the franchise we're a fan of!

>It doesn't take much to come up with a new idea, I could toss out half a dozen approaches, but the fact that YOU can't comprehend ONE is more telling. Me spewing pitches/fan fiction won't make you a better thinker. You'll still be stuck in you're little box.

I already said I'd like to hear your ideas, I don't see how it's possible. Beast Wars only made sense because of the very specific events that made it happen, both in universe and out of universe, Jap BW sucked because it only existed to be "more BW" to sell more toys, which is what I feel like your ideas would be but you're free to actually be productive to the conversation and explain yourself, even though you won't

>People wanting a remake of Beast Wars

Let's face facts though, a remake would not even be remotely as good.

In the first place, part of what made Beast Wars good was it's tie-in to G1 which gave Megatron a HUGE endgame.

If a remake had that same hook, it would be a cheap remake, and if it DIDN'T it would be an unending Season 1 BW

The second knock against it is the small cast + devoted fans.
If you remake it, people will DEMAND the exact same guys, and with the exact same characterization. And since the last few shows have dealt with very small teams, you have very little wiggle room for the core team. It'd be different if they decided to just give us two armies at war, but if they don't?

What makes G1 ripe for being remade over and over is that it had a cast of a couple hundred that you can cherry pick from.
Beast Wars (as far as the toon is concerned) had like 10 Maximals and about the same amount of Predacons.

So, basically, your options are 1) do something new and get met with the same "NOT MUH" bitching that G1ers get accused of or 2) a 1:1 recreation of the original show with better animation, at which point you might as well just watch reruns.
>>
>>93055828

A continuation of what? The series ended with a pretty definitive victory for the Maximals. What was left for the series to do? Sounds to me what they want is a retcon of Beast Machines, not a continuation of Beast Wars

>That cast of a hundred? They never went above a dozen in the original. At best they'd give a single dimension to a random character and that's it.

Virtually EVERYONE in G1 had a single dimension, so I'd say calling it a cast of a hundred still counts, whether they got a lot of appearances or not

>Name 3 major animated entries in TF where A Megatron wasn't the badguy

I...don't see how that's relevant? Did I say anything that could be construed as "the badguy shouldn't be Megatron?"

Velociraptor is a genus, so that grants some flexibility. However, all Velociraptor are basically chicken to dog sized and they all had some kind of feathers.

Another genus, Utahraptor (only has one species) is about the right size for Dinobot. Utahraptor is in the same clade with Velociraptor, Eudromaeosauria which is a sub family of Dromaeosauridae (all of which have feathers). Ignoring the feathers, which seems fair to me, you still have an issue of Utahraptor only being found in Utah which is pretty far from where the Predacons landed.

Fun fact: Utahraptor was named after Jurassic Park designed their Velociraptors which at the time had no fossil equivalent. While Jurassic Park's dino's shouldn't be called Velociraptors, it is still pretty neat the design was legitimated after the fact.

So because Beast Wars was using the Jurassic Park design anyway, I'm gonna call Dinobot a Utahraptor and ignore the issues of feathers and geography.

>In the first place, part of what made Beast Wars good was it's tie-in to G1 which gave Megatron a HUGE endgame.

Gen oners keep saying this, but season 1 is really solid on its own and the writers left it ambigious if it was earth, they almost decided it to not be. With the alien visits and other episodes Beast Wars would have been great on its own. I think the writers could have found a solid ending either way. we'd probably have gotten more of the Vok.

>>93056972
This. The elements and concepts introduced in beast wars have gotten carried over into other shows. A lot of what made beast wars work was the world building. The ships, the transwarp drive, the energon build up, protoforms, sparks, merging with life forms. G1 has been redone so many times, armada, the movies, prime, it's been done to death.

One of my favorite ideas about beast wars is, how much time passes. Is it a year? Is it 10 years? Is it 100 years? From start to finish it seems to suggest years pass. They're stuck on this planet a while and the concept of having animal forms that can ingest food to save energy makes a lot of sense.

Why wouldn't we get more waspinator-terrorsaur moments? They were great wingme. Terrorsaur is in almost every episode of season 1, up till they seemed to give the scheming to tarantulas, like they knew terrorsaur had to go next season.
Season 2 terrorsaur could have worked well, been more complacent to a transmetal megatron who did bring them to the right planet. I'd also have loved to have seen season 3 terrorsaur steal rampages spark from megatron and have rampage at his side. Quickstrike as the ally to Tarantulas was so boring. What a shit exchange, terrorsaur for cowboy snake hand.

If you've ever read about Paul Dini's experience at Fox working on Batman Vs when the show was at WB it opens your eyes. Fox wanted shows to be as mass appealing as possible. They were shooting for a style never seen before and story that was safe and wholesome and easy. Plants save the world horse shit.

I to this day don't get how beast machines really happened. Beast Wars revitalized the brand and beast machines all but killed it again.

See, this is something that gets to me, as a Terrorsaur fan

He actually had character progression, in a way. He started off as a Starscream, but part way through, he kind of realized the pointlessness of it and just did as he was told

(a particular scene that comes to mind is when Inferno asked Terrorsaur if HE would explain the failure of a mission to Megatron, at which point Terrorsaur was like "yeah, he HAS been grumpy lately...alright boys, let's do it!")

The problem was...he learned his lesson, BUT they didn't bother to replace it with something else.

In retrospect to later shows, he could have been what Prime Starscream eventually was. Once he started putting his conniving into Megatron's service rather than his own, he was actually something of an asset

Or if not that...just play up his repeated partnership with Wapsinator, make them a total broTP, like Rocksteady and Bebop

Its all about how the style works. The exaggerated proportion shitfest means a bigger range of expressions and motions and dynamics or whatever the fuck that's called, something a lot harder to pull off when you're constantly having to draw straight lines n rectangles frame by fucking frame.

Comic shit looks hilarious and fight scenes can make your dick rock hard, hell even the episodes with a low budget flow pretty well.

Do you like 80s cartoons? G1 isn't a bad start if so, or maybe just watch the G1 motion picture to get a feel for what TF is all about and then decide if you want to watch all of G1, or if you want to watch a more modern series

Otherwise, I would say start with Transformers Animated or Transformers Prime, whichever seems more appealing to you

Beast Wars is a good series, it couldn't hurt to start with it however it is a bit different obviously than the rest of the TF shows since it was the Beast Era

Chronologically its G1 S1-2 > G1 movie > rest of G1 > the G1 animes > beastwars > armada trilogy > animated > prime. Movies only if you feel like 3+ hours of explosions and human focussed plots.

Watch G1 to the end of the movie to get a feel of the origins of the show. If you like old anime go through the G1 animes too they're ok. Beast Wars is good but its a spinoff sequel and not all its dialogue and graphics are good in this day and age. Armada trilogy maybe, if you like early 2000s cheapo anime (SKIP ENERGON). Animated is by far the best polished of the lot if you can handle the artstyle. Prime has great action but borrows too much from the movies, takes itself too seriously at times and budget cuts lead to a lot of bad decisions in the later seasons.

There's also RiD2015 and rescue bots but those are for preschool kids.

>saysthe guy that's just being a sourpuss and doesn't want more beast wars
I'm a Transformers fan, not just a Beast Wars fan, I like Beast Wars, but it was not a stand alone story, it was part of G1, simply making a Beast Wars show hardly makes any sense story wise

And if you made it a continuation of the original Beast Wars show, you would have to retcon the ending of that continuity, and from a business perspective why would Hasbro do that? To cater to a small handful of 90s kids who probably don't even buy toys anymore to begin with? That wouldn't make any money

They would really only have to retcon the comics. Waspinator is still there, protoforms are still there, bodies and parts of multiple transformers. It could easily be done within the story of the show. Time travel is an easy fix.

I don't think anyone is clamoring for them to go back to that timeline or story at all. infact, you're the only one that is adamant if beast wars was done it again it would have to be connected to G1, nearly everyone else in this topic disagrees with you. You're clinging to G1 so hard it's sad. Beast wars worked as a stand alone story fine. If you think it wouldn't that's your G1 bias.

>Both of those, an every single TF series from Japan, is utter shit

Literally the only people who like the TF animes are nostalgiafaggots who grew up when they were on the air, or fucking weebs who do not belong on this board

>You're clinging to G1 so hard it's sad. Beast wars worked as a stand alone story fine. If you think it wouldn't that's your G1 bias.

There are exact and specific story reasons for everything involved in Beast Wars , why they can take the form of organic animals as opposed to strictly mechanical ones, why they NEED to in the first place when they never would otherwise, why they had a massive change in size

Everything about Beast Wars is due to very specific details in the story, extremely specific. Just saying WELL HERES A TRANSFORMERS SHOW WHERE THEY ARE ORGANIC ANIMALS FOR NO REASON makes no fucking sense, you would need reasons for this.

Would it be on pre historic Earth or a planet just like it? How convenient! Just like the original series! You've put zero thought into any of this, you just want a show about animals because you're a fucking furry and don't care about the details or the mythos of why the fuck that would ever happen in the first place, go screw fanboy.

Certain characters just bother me every now and again, in his case, he reminded me of when I was a kid and I really hated Stuart Little, I would fantasize about bullying Stuart until he cried and just making him feel bad, and torturing him and putting him in a container and slowly filling it with water until he was going to drown and covering it

Some characters remind me of this, like Raph, or Groot

Yes. When people are busy clamoring for a revisit to the Beast Era, they tend to conveniently ignore the fact that it got a pretty great comic book that pretty much all the non show toy characters made an appearance in at some point or another, with a few moments featuring the show's cast here and there

He...Wasn't? His pre-beast form was an construction vehicle. Terrorsaurs' was a red and purple jet. Plus, Terrorsaur was a snivling betraying asshole, willing to even get Rattrap as his slave to overthrow Megatron.

And if we dig deeper, Dinobot was always a Maximal in the toyline, reason? "Dinobots always helped Autobots".
>>
>>93078535
Immortal Spark for one episode, yes. But Terrorsaur filled in as the team's traitor until Tarantulas became the bigger betrayer. Scorponok even says, when Megatron was out of commission, that he was panicking all the time with those two around.

And the reason they had Starscream's spark possess Waspinator was because, they did the line readings with Terrorsaur, and no one could tell the fucking difference.

Most of those are not factions, but rather....teams, or subsets of certain factions
Destron is just the Japanese name for Decepticon
Maximals and Predacons are the the evolutionary successors of the Autobots and Decepticons, and also in the case of G1 Predacons, my initial statement, they are a sub group of Decepticons

It's been so long since I've seen Beast Machines I don't even remember how the Vehicons came into being, did Megatron invent them?

I'm sorry, but that simply isn't true. Some people can actually judge things objectively and not based on whether it was important to their childhood or not, there are plenty of childhood shows that I loved dearly but I can easily say in retrospect were god awful, and other shows actually hold up.

I watched all of the shows I criticize, I even bought the fucking toys.

That being said, if you think G1 sucks or Beast Wars sucks or whatever show sucks, it's a free fucking country, but many people are operating on a bias as you accuse me of, I am not. I have no reason to be biased whatsoever because I love the Transformers brand as a whole, not any particular era.

I love Beast Wars. Its tied with TFA for my favorite TF show. I have those comics. And I have to say, they are not very good. I have not seen Beast Wars Neo or BW II, but to my understanding you need to have seen those for these other comics to make sense (or at least for the second one Ascending). Ascending is rushed and missing a lot of details to be able to follow the full story. Its been a few years since I read it but I know when I did I was confused as all hell and I own The Gathering and BW on DVD, which I have seen many many times.

This statement makes absolutely no sense, unless the case was that I criticize absolutely nothing Transformers, in which case you would have a point, because my bias would be preventing me from being critical about the franchise.

Obviously, that isn't the case.

your bias is why you're critical of the franchise in certain ways. You value parts of it more than others. You know there's people out there that love the michael bay movies, they'll dismiss bumblebee talking cause they're bias is towards the movie.....I mean... it's not black and white "I love transformers and know what is good and bad" . Your opinion has less weight for the reason you're saying. There's literally no way to know if you're speaking from a biased position or being valid.

That is utterly asinine. So according to you, the only people who have worthwhile opinions about something are people who don't like the thing to begin with.

Thats not what didnt make sense. The characters themselves were fine. I remember in the Ascending that they were chasing some sort of essance that was making bots sick (if I remember correctly) but they didnt explain what it was, why it made anyone sick, or really how they got rid of it. I was told if you knew the plots of BW II/Neo that it made sense.

No, you're close... they don't have dislike it, it's not black and white! You keep acting like it's this or that. The people who have worth while opinions are the ones who are not brand loyalists and neutral to begin with. If you are a "transformers fan" then your opinion on each individual show and movie is worthless. Who cares what you think, you like all transformers, hate all japanese iterations of it. That's a proclivity you yourself have stated. So, yea, why should anyone care what you think? Im really not even mad, like Im just like lol'ing at you. If someone goes to see a star wars movie no matter what, cause its star wars, their opinion is forfeited. They support the brand no matter what. That is blindness in them. There is a blindness in you, at least in the way you've been talking, maybe not, but in what you've said and how you've said it, you certainly seem like a total tool when it comes to G1. It's not at all reaching to dismiss someones opinion when they approach things in an automatic love or hate fashion as you do.

I was like 14 when the first Transformers anime that got a Western release aired in the US, give me a fucking break you doofus. You're seriously reaching, I watched them all because I was a kid, I still have the fucking toys I invested money in from those lines. RiD sucked, Armada sucked, Energon sucked, and Cybertron sucked.

>>93083740
RiD was shit and it made absolutely no sense. It was a crappy kiddy tier anime, which, kiddy anime is far worse than kiddy Western shows....they throw all concepts of good writing or character right out the window for whatever reason when it comes to kids media. Just goofy crap, the name of the show was Robots in Disguise and yet it's probably the TF show that has focused less on disguise than any other.

I didn't hate it as much as I do now, but even as a kid I knew it sucked but I kind of went along with it because I wanted my TF fix. But yeah, it's shitty.

If you were talking strictly about the toyline, I would agree with you, I quite liked all the repaints and quite a few of the original figures, can't say the same about Armada.

>In the first place, part of what made Beast Wars good was it's tie-in to G1
Fuck off my dick boy. I didn't watch Beast Wars because of G1 TF. I had never even HEARD of TF before watching Beast Wars and I had a grand old time watching Mammals Robots get into turf wars with Dinosaur and Arthropod Robots on prehistoric earth.

I really wonder where the series would have gone if they kept the planet as not earth. The Alien visitors were interesting, them trying to wipe out all life on the planet is an interesting plot point. They seem to give up and this concept is dropped in favor of incorporating G1.

The show being written with these trapdoors helped make the storylines so successful. It seems like it was planned all along, even though it wasn't.

From a production standpoint, Beast Wars wasn't even solidly a G1 sequel until around half way through season 1. They were making a lot of it up as they went along.

Speaking of:
>Beast Wars co-story editor Bob Forward drew storyboards for [Code of Hero]. Not only is it the only Beast Wars episode to be directed by the series's writers, but it is also the only episode to be done up in storyboards rather than being directed on-the-fly. Bob Forward worked in person with the Mainframe animators for this episode.

Animated was great, there is really no debating it other than "hurrr the art style was too cartoony!"
>>
>>93086339
i'd solidly put animated as second best series, after beast wars, personally.

that being said, don't be a fuckwad about how something like "was this show great" has "no debate". it reeks of elitism and entitlement.

bitch i've been here since 2006

"it's always been like this" or "this is how it is" is a terrible way to justify not fixing something bad

>>93086417
4chan is about anonymity, therefor it is also about people being cunty elitists. Comes with the territory and that can't be fixed.

Season 1 was written as 2 seasons as well. Victory as a season finale placeholdr script.
