Huh. I'd never be one of those people. Always liked Beast Wars very much, myself- Munkey not Trukk! *Grabs popcorn and sits back to watch some Beast Wars* Fixed it for you Well in terms of a good, consistence TV program, BW is properly the best TF show. It did break ground for its CGI at the time and the stories lines were better then anything that came before it in terms of TF shows on TV. If one was to compare the original show to BW, G1 had its good points in an over all cartoon made for kids. BW was a good show that did have cheesy parts. G1 didn't have the depth that BW did, not until the 1986 when almost everyone died. What I'm saying is if you took away the corniness of BW you'd have a really, really good TV show with stories and character development. Take away the bad parts of the G1 show and you'd have to work on stories and character development. But some of the episodes in the G1 run were some really cool ideas in terms of a plot. Thats my 2 pieces of energon. I basically agree with these sentiments. G1 has it's outstanding episodes, but it was mostly kid drivel. BW has it's cheesy moments, but the narrative and character development out shown those. Though, season 2 got a bit too corny at times. Got better in season 3.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! XD Always loved Beast Wars, first Transformers stuff I got into. Definitely some of the strongest characters and certainly some of the best storylines, and the addition (in the first series) of the energon buildup served as a small but brilliant gamechanger for me. And who didn't shed a tear at Dinobot's brilliant death scene?

I was mad that they killed him, and then madder when he didn't come back as a Transmetal version. But that just goes to show what an awesome character he is.

TF Prime just back peddles a lot. Nothing seems to stick for very long.

Really need to watch TF Prime- got really excited when I saw the trailers. Anyone know if it's on Youtube?

Even if it is on YouTube, it can't be discussed here or links shared on this board be cause of ProBoard's T.O.S. (Terms of Service). See here. I always liked Rhinox personally, my favourite. Slow and plodding but smart and with a **** off huge Gatling gun. Love that gun! DInobot is one of the Uukltimate TF heroes though, bad guy going good, but not completetly good and wholesome. On the Predacon side I liked Terrorsaur (Terroriiiiiiiiize!) and Tarantulas, and Scorponok... Hard to chose between those three minions. I know I've said this before, but I actually did like Beast wars II/ Beast Wars Neo, especially the former. If you took out the traditional Japanese cheese insert bit (Annoying recap bunny type thing), it was actually a good show.

TF Prime is on Netflix and perhaps some cartoon network or even Hasbro related sites.

Sorry, didn't think :/ Dinobot was the single greatest character created in Transformers, no doubt. Rhinox is a close second, but that's mostly because of how incredibly tragic his story turned come Beast Machines. But yes, the gun was freaking awesome Predacons... Tarantulus, just because he was so maniacal, and such a worthy successor in that role to Starscream- better even, because he was just so damn clever compared to 'Scream. Almost underwhelmed by his death really- much like most of the Predacons in the series, Scorponok and Terrorsaur especially. But that's a minor flaw in a great series (I keep thinking I'm being referenced when people start talking about Beast Wars Neo XD)

Tarantulas was more like a treacherous Shockwave.
