    I would like a Beast Wars movie to feature some of the toy-only characters from the original line. I just need Wolfang to get his due.

    honestly, if they made the movie with mostly botcon repaints/ non-show characters, i'd be cool with that. Like sandstorm or double punch, fractyl, buzzsaw, packrat, etc...

    The movie doesn't need to be exactly like the original TV series as long as it keeps the heart,and important elements/character traits it had. Like how the Bumblebee movie was able to not be a giant retelling of G1 but had enough of it to be both a love letter to G1 fans as well as giving us an emotional story that stands on its own. If the BW movie is able to do that then that's already a win in my book.

    Finally decided to bust this guy out and put him together for the first time. When I was mixing and matching to make a complete toy I found one leg just could not fit onto another body. Upon closer inspection the ball joints we're different sizes. I guess different print runs resulted in this but thought it was interesting and wanted to share.

    The North American commercial


    The Japanese commercial, so very very odd. But I guess matches the show.

    I would love to see the combiners in the movie. I loved the original toys, and if they put them in the movie and gave us BRAND NEW BEAST COMBINERS IN THE MOVIE AESTHETIC, I thnk that'd be just prime.

    I second this! The BW movie can also give us new Beast characters in general if they wanted too especially if it gets sequels.

    I think if there is a Beast Wars movie it should be a total reboot, no one needs the cartoon to be retold. I'd want a reimagining/refining of the beast Wars characters and concepts...Id also prefer if it were an animate TV series but we can't always get what we want.

    Also should we start a thread for this in the Movie Talk forum? I'd do it but I'm really not that invested.

    I just don't want to be like the Bay movies...humans can screw off. The bots are the focus!
