    ^ I take it hulk here is happy for the shout out to (what I assume is) his favorite series.

    Personally I thought all the references in this episode (and there were an obnoxious amount of them) felt forced and out of place, but whatever, glad others enjoyed them.

    Interesting that Jack pointed out Predacons look like dragons from Greek and Medieval mythology.

    The Energon Harvester was hidden in ancient Greece. So we have a reference how long the Autobots lasted before being wiped out on Earth.

    That line was stupid. Along with the one where Optimus did a title drop.

    I feel they made Bulkhead say that just for reference, since the Autobots aren't beasts, it won't be beasts fighting beasts, so technically, not a beast war. Unlike Maximals and the (BW) Predacons.

    Maybe in the future series, but obviously not in TFP

    Unless Bulkhead is implying the Autobots will make their own beasts.

    This is how I felt basically all the way through TFA.

    Right, like the Punic Wars involved two groups of battling Phoenicians, right?

    A war or series of war can be named based on the characteristic of only one of the combatants.

    I enjoyed the nod TFP made to Beast Wars by saying the Predacons were sent to earth in prehistoric times.

    The reference didn't do anything for me. Writers, making name-drops on other shows does not improve the production any or prove that you care.

    The reference to Beast Wars was just to give Bulk center stage for a couple of seconds within the episode.

    But it would be neat if the "Beast Wars" name drop would be a hint for future episodes or for the next series.

    I'd be for it, only if the entire TFP staff were let go.

    If not, no thank you. Don't need a water down version of one of the best series of Transformer history.

    Oh god, Beast Wars done by the TFP crew. I can imagine it now:
    - Dinobot inserts the word "honor" into every bit of dialogue
    - Waspinator gets killed off after one episode
    - Inexplicably, Bumblebee is a main character (but still manages to do nothing)
    - Tarantulas is voiced be George Takei, and is a ninja for some reason
    - Bantor gets his name mentioned once, and never appears, but that's still enough to make him part of the cast list on TFwiki
    - Rampage is generic cannon fodder
    - Rattrap's partners are ddeeaead!

    That's so mean, yet possibly true! :lol 

    On the other hand, there would be some excellent humor relief put in every now and then.

    That line felt kind of forced but was fine nonetheless. I really liked UM's use of Loose Cannons, since that is the episode when Wheeljack returned to Earth.
