Fan favorite comic author, Simon Furman had updated his blog with an entry regarding Beast Wars comics. In this blog entry Simon discusses his involvement with Dreamwave's canceled Beast Wars comic and how he had plans to bring the main Beast Wars cast from the show back to Earth and how he had to tie into James McDonough's Summer Special story.

Simon ends this blog entry with this wonderful nugget of info:

having brought the scripts for (the unpublished) Age of Wrath #4 & 5 to light in the form of printed original scripts (for sale at conventions and elsewhere), I decided to unleash Beast Wars #1 (Dreamwave) this year. You’ll get to see quite how different things would have been, and how centric the core TV show cast would have been in the unfolding story. You’ll also get to see what I later salvaged for The Gathering, and how the Summer Special story got folded in. I’ll be toting the scripts around the country this year (see elsewhere and other blog entries for details), so come along and grab a piece of unpublished Transformers comics history.

Awesome. Thanks to David Kaye for triggering a chuckle this pre-Xmas night.

Today, October 4, marks another major release in the Transformers media calendar - because today is the day that Shout! Factory's Beast Wars Season 2 and 3 boxed set is released. Own the episodes that defined the show for a generation of Transformers fans, episodes such as Code of Hero, The Agenda, and the grand finale Nemesis, with the final episode penned by legendary Transformers writer Simon Furman. If you have never seen Beast Wars, what are you waiting for? This show was awesome back in the 90s and has stood the test of time as one of the very best Transformers shows ever made.

I leave you now with a defining quote from Hall of Fame 2010 fan's choice winner, Dinobot:

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest... is silence.

2005 Board member SydneyY has shared with us some information from Japanese site Autobot Aichi. A listing on Rakuten is reporting that Beast Wars II will be getting a DVD release in Japan.

Hopefully, this means a US release may be possible in the future.

We'll keep you posted as more info on this becomes available, but for now hit the discuss button to join in on the thread.

TV Shows on DVD is reporting that Beast Wars Seasons 2 and 3 will be released by SHOUT! Factory in one set on DVD this October.

Full press release with details after the break.

Shout! Factory have put up a new listing on their online store for a complete series set of Beast Wars.

Due out in June, and priced $49.99 plus shipping.

Beast Wars Season One, the upcoming release from Shout! Factory, has had its release date moved up to June 7th according to Amazon.com and TVShowsOnDVD.com.

That's great news for Beast Wars fans! The original release date was set as June 14th. So once you're home from this year's BotCon, you can continue to get your nerd on and watch the fan-adored Beast Wars series. Well, the first season of it anyways.

Just a brief update for you on Shout! Factory's Beast Wars Season 1 DVD set, coming to you via TVShowsonDVD. The set's listing on Amazon.com has been updated with the proposed cover artwork of the set! It's a fairly nice group shot of all the core Maximals, minus our favourite wisecracking rodent Transformer. Given the excellent "evolving" style of the Shout! Generation 1 DVD set covers, could volume 2 keep up this trend with the characters (except Rhinox, granted) in their Transmetal and Transmetal 2 forms?
