I voted for Super_Megatron and all I got was this stupid user title.

Presumably some people will search for the show on Netflix using the 'Beasties' name if that's all they ever knew it as.

Fun fact: in the UK, Beast Wars dropped the "Transformers" from the title credits. They literally edited the intro to drop a 2-3 second freeze frame where "Transformers" would come up on screen on the logo.

This. But I'm 99% sure the episodes you watch are straight off the Shout DVDs, and still shout "Beast Wars!"

I'm frustrated by that, too, especially since, as PrimusVsUnicron points out, it was animated in Canada. Right here in Vancouver, in fact, and I can't get in on netflix (sigh)

It was weird for me the first time I heard the American version. "Beast Wars" always sounded so odd after years of "Beasties."

Yeah, even though I knew it was the American version because that's what the toyline was called. However, I rarely ever watched it on Fox Kids anyway (maybe Saturday morning when I'd get up painfully early to watch stupid shit like Power Rangers & whatever), so it didn't come up often.
