    How about Visionaries and Inhumaniods?

    When you look at half of the crap they have on Netfix why do something better.

    Nice! I'm loving that they'll be available via instant streaming seeing as how I canceled the DVD portion of my subscription.

    Awesome - now I can introduce my son to the coolness that was Beast Wars. He keeps hearing me and my mom mention it (especially during TFA's run), but other than screencaps, I haven't been able to really show him.

    As well as cringe when listening to Jem in the background as I house clean :D

    Once this is up on Netflix, I will have no excuse for not finishing Beast Wars.

    This is pretty cool, even though I don't have Netflix. Hope they put up Animated, RID, and Armada too!

    So does this mean I'm going to have to wait until Prime: Season 2 ends to get my iTunes season pass? That stinks - iTunes was the only way I was able to watch the entire first season!

    Sweet! Kind of bummed that Prime Season 2 won't be up until it's over, but still good news. :D

    I hope Beast Machines gets put on it. I know it was hated back in the day (I hated it too), but I realized that a big part of that hate was FoxKids handling of Beast Machines.

    Beast Wars was episodic, and it aired daily. Every morning I got to watch an episode and be replaying the episode throughout the day.

    Beast Machines has a longer story- you have to watch the episodes in order and regulerly to really appreciate Beast Machines. It is really a great series, with great villians and impressive metaphysical meanings (although the transorganic designs are... still wonky). However, only catching a few episodes every saturday, then having FoxKids repeat the episodes, threw any viewing continuity out the window, making it impossible to appreciate Beast Machines. Watching it on DVD really makes it shine, but to most fans, I can understand not wanting to spend the $40-60 on something they remember as being crap.

    That being said, hopefully Beast Machines on NetFlix will open many fans' eyes and appreciate a diamond in the rough that is Beast Machines.

    THIS! Also, TFA.

    I see so many comments about, "Oh, I already have these DVDs." Do people not see how this matters? This brings in new fans, especially with Hasbro cracking down on YouTube.

    If anything I'd really like them to add the Japanese series. Netflix has an extensive collection of anime available to stream. I think it would be right up they're alley.
