Beast Machines

Pros: Great writing and animation. Treats you with intelligence.

Pros: Good solid animation and story telling.
Cons: The music isn't all that fitting.

It is the newest incarnation of the Transformers mythos: Beast Machines. The story begins with our heroes previously seen in Beast Wars. They've returned home to Cybertron. Not all as it seems though, as they are hunted by drones and are nearly...

Pros: All the great action and feel of the original transformers is in both new series. We have great heroes, good villians and a terrific heretige. The images are a great deal better than the original.
Cons: The viewers have to learn new names and at times it is hard to jump in on the story. Also it feels that the heroes will never win their battles

In the beginning, people created the Autobots and Decepticons.Then came the Maximals and Predicons. The history started with the Autobots and Decepticons emerging from a volcano in 1984 and battling all over and for Earth. After that, the battles went...

Pros: Keeps you hooked and wanting more.
Cons: Lack of resemblance from the show to most of the characters' toy counterparts.

Pros: Dazzling animation, great plots and believable characters
Cons: Tough for young kids and new fans to get into the show

The Transformers have been around for a while, and Beast Machines is the latest chapter in the Transformers story, continuing from the Beast Wars. For fans like me, this show is a real treat, with lots of returning characters and thickening plots....

Pros: Good role models for kids
Cons: few number of episodes leads to overplay of reruns

In the 1980's Hasbro Toys teamed up with a japanese animation company to create a merchandising dream team. Their idea was to have toys that could change from battle-ready robots to innocent everyday items (i.e. cars, trucks, tape players, microscopes,...

Pros: Not a bad plot, And if you kids out their are looking for a show with lots of action, and bad jokes... Get a load of this one!!
Cons: It's not "Beast Wars", and the animation is pitiful.

Transformers, freak fad of the 80's? or Slightly well written show, that can be given a new computer look for 2000? The world may never no, but I on the other hand..

Now before you start getting disappointed, perhaps because you don't agree...

Pros: Pumping action, great animation and a STORYLINE
Cons: Goofy new transformation technique

The Transformers revolutionized toys back in the '80's. And they had a cool cartoon to go with it. It was pretty episodic, typical of the times. Just a quick hit each week of a relatively well animated, super-cool concept.

The story back...

Pros: Well thought of, not just mindless violence
Cons: some may like it, some may not...

The latest incarnation of our beloved franchise and 'toon, Transformers, I think this has the most lessons to teach not just the kids, but to all of us as well...

Pros: Some good character designs, neat plot twists
Cons: Lackluster storylines, very dark animation

Shortly after getting hooked on the Beast Wars cartoons, I discovered that the show was being canceled (or just retired). While I was still in my mourning period, I heard that the show would go on, in the form of the new show Beast...

Pros: Excellent transformation, poseability
Cons: Small size, useless extras

Over...

Pros: incredible animation
Cons: no continuity in it's storyline

Wow, I think I've seen it all. Back in the 80s the Transformers revolutionized the action figure market with their kick-butt cartoon and action figures. I actually own videos, and still watch them, and still the great memories are relived. So now, here...

Pros: optimus prime
Cons: megatron

I believe that the transformers have gone down hill over the years. The storyline has reached and incredible decline almost to the point of asking yourself... "what the hell are they talking about?" or "who cares". The new...

Pros: Excellent art, superb writing, interesting characters
Cons: Only 13 episodes this season!!! And where are the toys?

I must admit, when I first heard that Beast Wars had been cancelled, and was replaced with Beast Machines, I was NOT happy. Although it took me a few years to get used to Beast Wars (having grown up with the original series), I had really gotten to like...
