Pros: Rat-trap is quite humorous Cons: they blow up too much
Okay, first this disclaimer. I write this review under duress, with the prospect of my brother's extreme disapproval of my intended low rating hanging over my shoulder. I have found myself half-watching this show for several weeks with my brother, but I...
Pros: stunning computer animation, fun characters, engaging plot, appeals to younger and older generations Cons: younger viewers won't catch the references to the old cartoon; violent robots and semi-mature themes may not be appropriate for preschoolers
Beast Wars was an attempt of Hasbro's to completely wipe the slate clean and renew the Transformers license with a fresh concept. Considering that 52 episodes and over 100 different toys were made, I'd say it was a success.
Pros: Its Transformers Cons: Hey, These Transformers Suck!!!!
Boy oh boy was I excited when I first started watching this show. I had a flashback to my days as a youth when I loved Transformers and the days when Optimus Prime and his boys used to whoop some Decepticon booty. Boy have things changed and I'm sorry...
Pros: It's Transformers!!!! plus good characters, cool plot lines, hilarious comedy episodes Cons: Takes time to be given proof that it isn't the original transformers
Ah, my days as a transformer fan. I could live off of my one episode video. I begged and pleaded and lost my dinity (whatever dignity I had when I was 5) to get Optimus Prime from my parents. Alas, the original Transformers was only finite and I hated...
Beast Wars is an american version of Beast Machine or visa versa. It originates from the tv show transformer, which I think is much better than this new episode. This episode is basically an add on or provides new characters and different transforming...
Pros: Excellent storytelling, Impressive CGI Cons: The show ended
In 1996, Hasbro and Takara introduced a new toy line bearing the name THE TRANSFORMERS. The toy line had evolved beyond it's previous incarnations into something new... BEAST WARS. No longer a toy line of robots that transformed into vehicles but...
I remember the old transformer toys and shows from the 80's, when my brother was into them. But now, I am a definite TransFan. The Beast Wars show (or Beasties on YTV) is a show full of action, heroes, villains, romance and a whole lot of laughs. Once...
Pros: Graphics are great! Cons: Hard to understand
Beast Wars is a high tech show. The graphics are very neat and the characters are quite unusual. This show is a little too advanced for the audience they are trying to capture. All of the gadgets and guns are a little cool, but the stories are too hard...
Pros: Wonderfully done animation, great story Cons: None
Beast Wars is the story of a new generation of Transformers. The two opposing factions involved are the descendants of the first generation of Transformers. The Autobot descendants are called Maximals. The Decepticon's are called Predacons.
In the...
Pros: Graphics, Story line, Innovative and Deep Characterizations Cons: Inappropriate Slapstick humor, some episodes seem rushed
Like many people who grew up in the 80's like I did, Transformers were a benchmark for the decade, at least from a children's entertainment standpoint. The toys were a staple of my childhood play sessions, as well as countless other children. It was...
Pros: Great animation, great stories! Cons: seasons 2 and 3 too short!
When I first heard about Beast Wars, I was like "great, they turned Optimus Prime into a MONKEY!" Boy was I wrong. When I started getting into the toys, I figured I might as well start watching the cartoon. Boy am I ever glad I did. The...
Pros: a great job well done Cons: lack of original names for new characters
I had my doubts about this series when it first aired, but now that I have seen all it's episodes, I feel this has been a success! I found it to be a great job well done, as it carried the past into the future of the Transformers. Many character traits...
Pros: Great CGI that got progressively better, music that grows on you, one of the deepest storylines I've ever seen on an animated show, slapstick humour is good for a chuckle. Cons: Major alterations to the Transformers universe in a short period of time, cheesy names, the whole activation code thing.
Let me just start out by saying that, as a huge fan of the original Transformers, I was thoroughly disappointed with Beast Wars/Beasties at its inception in 1996. This was because I recognized it to be what it really was; one long toy commercial at...
Pros: A new breed of Transformers for a NEW generation Cons: Series ended with too few episodes in the second and third seasons. At the point where it was most entertaining, it ended.
