    Pretty much anything Transformers is worse than Beast Machines.

    One thing I'm glad about is that the IDW comic, at least for now, doesn't seem to include that vocal tic of Megatron's.

    I hope Kingdom doesn't have it, too.

    Because that's something David Kaye brought to the character, so any attempt to write it in would come off as referential and feel really out of place.

    It came to mind during Kaye's reading of the script. He added "Yes" a few times and it felt forced in. Because the dialog wasn't paced with it in mind.

    People really should prepare themselves for this version to include some G1 characters taking on the beast modes/place of BW characters.

    Because with its short episode count and limited voice cast, the law of conservation of characters almost demands it to keep things from getting too busy.

    That's certainly what I'm now beginning to fear, Optimus and Megatron are almost guaranteed to become their Beast Wars counterparts. Dinobot could be a shipwrecked Decepticon turned Autobot, and then that's pretty much it.

    Might as well wait for the airing first.

    The G1 cast becoming the BW characters seems like a unique idea. But would be a pretty shitty "subversive" move if it's being advertised as "the BW characters are going to meet the G1"

    Ooh, flashback to the IDW Gobots comic, where all the Gobots became the cooler Transformers in the final pages!

    Didn't he say it in the first issue?

    I mean, it's kind of his "line" as much as the rest of the BW casts catchphrases are.

    It's not being advertised as *anything* at the moment because we don't have a synopsis for the season let alone a trailer.

    The show hasn't exactly been following the toyline... considering we never saw Micromasters or the modular bases. And most of the cast of Earthrise were holdovers from Siege.

    If Kingdom misses the mark like the previous shows:

    - BW Megatron will sound like a whiny teenager
    - Optimus Primal will sound like a slightly different whiny teenager
    - Rhinox will sound like a slightly different whiny teenager
    - Blackarachnia will have a Jersey accent
    - Rattrap will not have his signature accent
    - Waspinator will talk like Ahnold Schwarzenegger

    And he’ll be carrying Arnold’s mini-gun from T2. And wearing sunglasses. It’ll be so cool. :D

    I am afraid you may be right. I noticed the animation on the robots face did not changed from sad, mad, happy or ergency not even on the eyes. That is something the 90 Beast wars show did really great and gave life to the characters. Oh well at least we did get some toys from all this...

    Siege toys debuted in Oct/Nov 2018 and the cartoon debuted in July 30th 2020. That's roughly 22 months later. Earthrise toys debuted in Jan/Feb2020 and the cartoon debuted on Dec 30th 2020. That's nearly a full year.

    Just to piggy-back this, I tried to return ER Smokescreen MISB to Walmart without a receipt (gift, I have 2) and it came up in their system as $2. It's already clearanced out!

    Seems fairly likely, though that begs the question of what the deal is with Dinobot seeing as the end of Earthrise made it clear he's already around.

    I'm guessing a shipwrecked Cybertronian who crashed on Earth before the war who then chooses to side with the Autobots in the very last episode.

    There could already be *some* bots there and the G1 dudes crash in the middle of it.

    Reversing it so the G1 dudes crash after the BW have already started would be interesting. And, like I've said, sets up the potential for the G1 Megatron to be the Trex version in this continuity.

    A robotic dinosaur.

    That's one way to play it. In this reality, a ship of Cybertronians crashed on Earth and assumed beast modes to survive. So they're the guys who can help explain what's going on to the new arrivals, and potentially help them acclimate if they've got beast modes.

    He might speak at a normal pace. Imagine that.
