    Exactly. That's why I'd say no to a beast line, too. I loved BW, but right now I'm perfectly content with a line that mixes vehicle modes and beast modes.

    actually, since I want to quit buying Tf's but can't... Hasbro please bring back beastformers so I can have my financial freedom.

    Love the Beast Wars show, hate most of the toys.

    Same here. But the love of the show led to me buying all the show toys anyway. Kinda the reason I want all the G1 toys. Most of them are crappy. Diaclone car molds are too fragile and have too many extra pieces. I still want them though due to my love of the show.

    I think the best solution may be the one they're using right now, i.e., a mix of beast and vehicle TFs. If beasts were to once again become the focus of the line, I wouldn't have many TFs to buy. Although I would save some money, I wouldn't have any new toys! Maybe the beast vs. machine preference is based upon a person's age. I grew up with G1 and I prefer G1. I wonder if those that grew up with BW prefer BW?

    I don't think they would do another beast wars thing because Primal died in Beast Machines which continued Beast Wars from the very last scene of Beast Wars to the beginning scene of Beast Machines

    Nope. Followed G1 from day one. Still prefer Beasts to anything else TF.

    Of course, doesn't mean I don't love pretty much everything els TF.

    Leobreaker is sold out but that's it because there are no more Cybretron Beast-Formers available. :D  Except for that Dinosaur guy, he is a shelfwarmer.
    But I want a BeastFormers new show. Why not?

    It's not what the Transformers is in it's Alt mode... it's what's underneath.

    Gotta say, I wouldn't mind an ingrated take of realistic Vehicles and realistic Beasts. Maybe there's a sequel line to Alternators at some point of beast Transformers with realistic beast alt modes.

    If they do, I won't have to buy TFs for a while. Gotta love those vehicles.
    I'm struggling enough to keep up with Cybertron!

    Simple, personal opinion here: I don't like the beast Transformers and I think they're a poor idea. Maybe it's because I grew up with the G1 show, maybe it's because I never liked the Seacons...whatever the reason, the beastformers never sat well with me.

    Yes, I will admit that A) there were beasts in the G1 show and B) I liked those characters. But I've never been completely sold on Beast Wars, although I liked Beast Machines. However, just on premise, I'd rather have a show about robots disguising themselves as other forms of machinery. It's just more...fitting.

    I'd just like to see a few bots show up in a main line that have animal like bot modes, like some of the G1 cassettes.

    In my area, everything is selling pretty well except for Mudflap.
    Personally, I like how they're doing it now... mostly vehicles with some animal TFs mixed in. I like beastformers, but I don't think they should dominate the line.

    I disliked Beast-Formers for the longest time. I totally black-balled the show in the 90's. The only Beast I had out of 100's of toys was the Target Nemesis Prime. Then when the Beast 10th came out I picked some up and found they were alot cooler than I thought they were. I also finally watched the Beast Wars show and I'm in love with it almost as much as I love G1. In fact in the last few weeks I've bought about 15 Beast era toys and I'm hungry for more updates of this idea! :rock

    I'm not a huge fan of Beast Wars toys. I think the larger ones work, but the smaller ones just don't do anything for me. I always liked the beast alt modes in G1 like the dinobots, predacons, terrorcons, etc, but Beast Wars toys just don't have that same appeal. I wouldn't mind a Beast Wars type line just to take a short break from collecting mainline transformers. I'd probably just pick up the leaders and the odd mold or two, that's it.

    While I like beasts and wouldn't mind there return I think they were always done best in the TM/BM/jungle planet style, or possibly some thing more like updated pretender beasts, they first season BW TF just look well weird.
