    I'm in the same boat. I would prefer new versions of old school characters such as Arcee.

    Sorry! I never watched Beast wars so I don't know anything about it, but I saw some beast wars toys and don't like it at all.

    I'm confused... Do all of you who think it's BW or Battle Beasts think that this is bogus then?

    What made Beast Wars so good? Larry Ditillo and Bob Forward. A new BW cartoon means nothing to me is they're not involved. Not that they would be.

    Also, Universe Dinobot and Cheetor? Now with the shrunken size of Prime deluxes? No thanks.

    All the episodes are on YouTube, look for OptimalOptimus2, if you don't like it, then you don't like it. You may find more of an appreciation after seeing the series, if not, no biggie.

    Maybe they plan to take the Prime characters and "Beast-form" them for a massive story arc in which they get sent to the past or Megatron time travels and the 'Bots follow to stop him. (AKA no more humans in Prime, just robots with beast modes).

    Or it has something to do with Thundertron and his crew.

    If anyone was paying attention in episode 43 of TF Prime, Optimus' transmission from Earth showed three separate hotspots on the globe of Earth. One of them was in South America. Great environment for an Aligned version of a Beast saga. Just sayin'.

    Optimus and the rest of Team Prime will fight the Decepticons for some relic belonging to the original beast Prime of the 13. The results will turn the Prime cast into beasts, Prime into Primal, Bumblebee into a bumblebee (good version of Wasp), etc

    I just can't fathom why Hasbro would go ahead and do an about-face with the direction they've taken Transformers in and bring back Beast Transformers as a main or a focal line. Whatever they're doing just has to last them until 2014 when Movie 4 comes out and then it won't matter.

    Just seems like an awful lot of money being thrown around to create, what would become realistically, a 6 to 8 month toyline.

    I have the beast wars dvd set, and I love the series...the toys however were crap. Until the verry end of the series when the transmetals came around. Other than that, the only good plastic that came from that era was the generations revamp of dinobot and cheetor. So I doubt that ill be spending any munnies on this line of possible toys. Just not a big fan. Bring on the next big thing please

    IF, and that's a big if, there's a revival of the Beast-era show, for whatever means (filling the gap between Prime seasons perhaps?) One standard MUST remain...

    If Scott McNeil doesn't return? We riot.

    Ah a new cartoon series, yes.

    I'm all for more new cartoon episodes for the Hub so good news on that front and if the toys are cool well more cool toys can't really hurt either. Although I hope they don't actually mess with Beast Wars and this is something new that will let Beast Wars stand on it's own.
