Sequel to Generation One, Not Reinvention [Posted on 2007-09-04]
To all G1 fans who haven't given this show a chance:
This show is fantastic, especially the third season. I dare you to watch just a few episodes of season 2 and 3 and still call it junk. You can't. Despite being based on a toyline (G1 was also, by the way), this series has fabulous character development. It does not reinvent the Generation One Autobots and Decepticons. It is the story of their descendants, the Maximals and Predacons, and it ties back into Generation One without a flaw. All true Generation One fans should enjoy this series because it is a perfect sequel. Beast Wars even features cameos by G1 characters such as Starscream (S1,E21 "Possession"), Ravage (S2,E11-13 "The Agenda"), Optimus Prime (S2, E13 "The Agenda Part 3"; S3,E1 "Optimal Situation"), and the original (Decepticon) Megatron (S3, E10 "Master Blaster"). The character development and plot points of Beast Wars are superior to those of Generation One. It hurts to say it, because I am an original G1 fan also, but it is true. If you still say that you don't like this series after you have watched it, you should ask yourself if it is the Transformers you love, or if it is your childhood memories you love more.

The best TV show [Posted on 2007-09-05]
Still one of my favorite TV shows of all time. The dialogue is so well written, it gets better with age like Fine Wine. This is a show the whole family is guaranteed to love.

(Not) the end [Posted on 2007-12-15]
The third, and final, season of Beast Wars picks up where the second season cliffhanger left off in dynamite fashion. Optimus Primal and his team of Maximals find themselves in charge of safeguarding history as they try to stop Megatron and his Predacons from destroying the original Autobot Ark, and once again, Optimus gets a new body. There were some changes aplenty in this season, including Megatron gaining a new dragon form, resurrecting Dinobot as his old evil self, and the arrival of Maximal lawman Depth Charge, who has a score to settle with the murderous Pred Rampage. This season also saw the further development of the unlikely romance between Silverbolt and Black Arachnia, Cheetor gaining a new form, and a climactic showdown that not everyone from either side will walk away from. Various in-jokes were abound in this season, as was the action ante which was considerably upped. The series would later be relaunched as Beast Machines, which would continue the saga of Maximals and the Predacons on Cybertron, and sadly made one too many changes to the formula and wasn't nearly as enjoyable as Beast Wars. All in all, the third and final season of Beast Wars is simply smashing, and definitely worth owning for Transformers and/or Beast Wars fans new and old.

From the Covenant of Primus... [Posted on 2008-08-11]
After an amazing first season, a hard-hitting second season, one can only imagine the high expectations for the third season of Beast Wars. But in comparison to the previous episodes, season 3 is more a mish-mash of important plot episodes and side filler episodes. But don't think you're getting slighted in the least. Every episode affords further development of fun and interesting characters while slowly building to a season finale that resolves the Beast Wars once and for all.

Don't forget, the Covenant of Primus contains SPOILERS.

The Maximals are not in good odds with the Beast Wars, now pulling double-duty in protecting the fledgling human race and their Autobot ancestors still in stasis. Megatron has no qualms about attacking, and would like nothing more than to change history.

A few new characters are introduced, including one of my personal favorites, Depth Charge. A bot who breaks the do-gooding Maximal image, Depth Charge is on a revenge mission, and won't hesitate to tell Primal to stuff it when he has a job to do. One of the things Season 3 lacks is more Depth Charge.

Also, many recurring characters are given upgrades. Optimal Optimus Primal, Transmetal 2 Megatron, Cheetor and Black Arachnia, a TM2 clone of Dinobot, and another new and unfortunately over-looked character, Tigerhawk. A lot of these changes going on over the course of 13 episodes is a bit much, but one of the vices of many Transformers series is that they are venues to encourage toy sales.

Season 3 is still made of the same great animation and writing that has carried the first two seasons. Action, drama, humor, and good vs. evil are still played out on prehistoric Earth. The acting is still top notch, and what episodes you do get are full of everything you'd want in a series. You'll only be sad to see it all come to an end.

Beast Wars- Season Three [Posted on 2008-08-16]
The last season of Beast Wars (which then begins in Beast Machines)is just as good as the other two seasons. Though, personally I like season one the best. No particular reason, but just because it appeals to me.

I highly recommend this season to fans of the Beast Wars Trilogy. It is worth the price and it is very entertaining to those who enjoyed the other Beast Wars Season. The episodes included are listed below.

Episode 40- Optimal Situation
Episode 41- Deep Metal
Episode 42- Changing of the Guard
Episode 43- Cutting Edge
Episode 44- Feral Scream, Part One
Episode 45- Feral Scream, Part Two
Episode 46- Proving Grounds

Episode 47- Go With the Flow
Episode 48- Crossing the Rubicon
Episode 49- Master Blaster
Episode 50- Other Victories
