    Let's assume That BW was getting another reboot, and thus a cartoon was being made. Which different Transformers would you choose for the Maximals/Predacons, besides Optimus Primal and Megatron BW obviously...

    It's perfect the way it is. No need to change it at all.

    I would start fresh, commanders on down. New characters for the leaders and throw in figures of non show characters from the first BW line. Like Spittor, Razorclaw, and Polarclaw.

    I just want an aligned Beast Wars now. And no, I don't want Beast Wars, the series we already got, shoved into the aligned continuity. I want a new piece of fiction dealing with bots of that generation.

    I'd love to have a Beast Wars in the Aligned Continuity. Like, Ryoku I don't want it to be the Beast Wars we already have. I want it to be an entirely new story with similar characters, but I wouldn't mind if they completely change the cast

    No need for a reboot. That would be utterly stupid.

    Unless they have the writers of MTMTE on board, then I would be all good.

    No just no.


    Why do people think everything should be rebooted?

    Hell freaking no.

    Beast Wars is perfect as it gets, no need for a reboot. Period.

    Only thing I'd change is the ending and have it go for another season or two. Mabye even tell the story of other Maximals & Predacons fighting on the other side of the world.

    There should be a mix of new and old character. I'd want Inferno because he's both funny and awesome, Rampage so his back story and personality can be explored more, Tigertron because I like cats and plants and maybe Tarantulas but it would be nice if they came up with a new schemer with his own agenda.

    Dinobot should not be used because I wouldn't want them to try and copy his awesomeness. If they have a character with an interesting story, it should be original.

    Don't think it really needs a reboot.

    The only thing I might like to see is the same show and stories, but just with upgraded graphics.

    Beast Wars: Animated. This I would like to see. One need not look any further than Animateds Dinobots or Waspinator to see how cool this would be.

    I'm tired of Prime and CGI Transformers, maybe this is the answer.

    BW doesn't need a reboot. It already had everything that is needed for success in a modern series. Well, except maybe moral ambiguity. For some reason people love that shit nowadays. That, and taking a male character and turning them female.

    There's your reboot right there, a touch more grimdark with Rhinox doing questionable things and Rattrap is a woman. Boom goes the dynamite. Instant winner.

    No just no enough with the damn reboots already. Still annoyed about news of that Brave Little Toaster reboot or whatever. :mad  That's neither here nor there though. What I would like to see though is a side story along the lines of The Gathering. I always did wonder what happened to the rest of the stasis pods that were still in orbit/crashed to earth. Plus it would be nice to see a lot of the non show toys finally get personalities. In particular I'm really curious about Grimlock and Retrax.

    I would say Rodimus Primal, but isn't that kinda what we got in Universe 1.0 in 2004?

    Rebooted? No.

    What about add new episodes to season 2 and 3?

    I'm sure there are some adventures that can be written in that won't contradict anything that has already happened.

    The voice actors/actresses are not too old nor dead to reprise their roles.

    Make them, resell old toys as reissues and new modernized versions, make/sell non-character toys and playsets, insert new eps into new boxsets, sell more boxsets of DVDs and/or Blu Ray and/or whatever the next format is.

    No reboot please. Bad enough where they're now heading with TF Prime.

    i'd like them to do everything but the earth based stuff in the comics. With peace, gorlam prime/micromasters/maximal downsizing. Finish it up with the axalon and darkside disappearing into a transwarp hole.
