The Transformers' war continues in an older time, through a new generation. On pliocenic Earth, the heroic Maximals and the evil Predacons battle for survival against each other and against a violent planet. Centuries after the Cybertronian Wars, a small rebel group of criminal Predacons pursuing a group of heroic Maximal explorers crash-land on a primitive world. They assume native animal forms to protect themselves from the planet's rife amounts of energy, transforming into robots to do battle. As the Maximals fight to stop the Predacons from conquering the galaxy with this strange world's power and seek a way home, they are discovering the majesty of its wilderness and the threat posed by its mysterious alien caretakers. So many people would call this show "elementry" and stupid, but it's actually quite dramatic. The story that spanned three seasons focuses on two alien races (the Maximals and the Predacons) who crash onto Earth eons before the original Transformers are discovered by the humans. From there on, the Predacon leader Megatron tries to take control and destroy the Maximals.<br/><br/>The growth of the characters over the three seasons is very entertaining, funny and dramatic. Oh, and not to mention that the action and graphics are often amazing.<br/><br/>Good show, definitely my favorite children's action, 8/10. OK i admit it, when i first heard of beast wars i didn't believe they could possibly follow up the original transformers, but they did and in many ways they totally surpassed it. Beast wars features the story of two space ships at war fighting against each other, one with evil purposes and another with nothing but good on their side. As the story develops we get to see some really intresting plot lines, great situations thatw ere never brought up in the original transformers cartoons and a great series which gives it precedence to exist as it's own show rather than a follow up to the 80's giant. Although if you are a hardcore transfan beast wars is definetly one to watch with some well researched links to the cybertron timeline and other neat little aspects that will excite the part of you that remebers tuning in on staurday mornings all those years ago.<br/><br/>There are many new features for beast wars which make it superior, the 3D CGI animation is amazing and makes everything look fantastic, an intresting path to take but one that definetly pays off. Also beast wars is not just an advert for the toys like the 80's show, and every toy character is not packed into the series. Instead we get time for other character development and we actually get a tv series, it might have cost hasbro some cash n the long run but it only adds to the strength of the program.<br/><br/>The bottom line is this is one to watch if you can, and if you can't get it on video! A more than worthy successor to the transformers legacy, easily 9/10.
Yes, it is. It's a sequel to that show, but it also borrows concepts from the Marvel Transformers comics, which were, on the other hand, unrelated to the cartoon. No, not at all. That notion was an early misconception that had been spread by a promo comic and early toy descriptions at the start of the Beast Wars franchise. However the cartoon (as well as later media) disregarded these, and it is made clear that these characters are not the same as the originals. Though this does not mean they are unrelated: Optimus Primal is regarded as the descendant of Optimus Prime, and Rattrap is allegedly related to the female Autobot Arcee. Megatron here simply named himself after the original.<br/><br/>Some older characters do appear, however; Starscream and Ravage from the original show have smaller roles in certain episodes, and several references are made to Unicron as well. The time in which the series debuted marked a low-point for the Transformers brand. The original television series has been canceled for almost a decade and no new American cartoons have come out since. While the brand was still going relatively strong in Japan, it has almost died off in the west as consumer interest dwindled.<br/><br/>The blocky car-robots of old have become obsolete, kids were into more detailed, more streamlined action figures. For this reason, Hasbro started gambling – getting rid of the unattractive design style utilized in the original Transformers series, they had Kenner (a toy company they had just bought at the time) drastically re-imagine their brand with a radical new design, and to distance themselves from their roots even more, made the toys transform into animals instead of vehicles and machinery.<br/><br/>The cartoon's creators had absolutely no say in this, as these decisions had already been made by the time they were brought in. The show simply built off the foundations that had been laid down by Hasbro and Kenner. As such, every complaint leveled against the series because its characters transform into animals is wholly misguided and uncalled for.<br/><br/>Hasbro's plan was a success and their gamble paid off. Beast Wars brought the brand back into the forefront and became one of the most famous, influential and well-loved series in the entire franchise. While it is not explained in the show, according to the backstory, the Transformers went through a "Great Upgrade", during which they sacrificed their gigantic stature in exchange for smaller, yet more fuel-efficient bodies. Some sources, as well as the occasional claims made by the writers say they are, and when the characters transform into robot mode, they turn mechanical. Some scenes in the show however clearly disprove this notion, so our best guess is that both the animal and robotic forms of the characters are semi-organic in nature. Vok are mysterious, energy-based aliens who lack physical forms and conduct strange experiments on prehistoric Earth, whose exact purpose is never explained in the show. The Beast Wars combatants continuously stumble upon Vok artifacts and interfere with their plans, and the storyline of the Vok acts as a constant background story-arc throughout the entire series.<br/><br/>Their origin is never made clear, and the series writers had differing opinions on what they are and where they came from. According to Larry DiTillio, they were in fact the source of all Transformers Sparks, and their place of residence, the Nexus Zero (AKA Vok Nebula) is actually the Matrix. This idea hasn't been kept and is contradicted by modern Transformers fiction, which names the Allspark as the Matrix Dimension instead.<br/><br/>Another, generally more accepted theory regarding their origin, which also comes from the series creators' words, is that the Vok are evolved forms of the Swarm. The "Swarm" was a strange dark, shape-shifting mass from the Generation 2 comic book series, which came into being as a byproduct of a budding attempt ("budding" being a method of asexual Transformer reproduction). Over time, the pieces of the Swarm may have evolved into the Vok. However, this idea isn't brought up in the cartoon itself, and so the canonical origin of the Vok is still unclear. Transmetals are Transformers who have been modified by the quantum surge released upon the Planet Buster's destruction. For the most part, they are much stronger and far more resistant to Energon radiation than their normal bodies, and as evidenced by Cheetor, they also have the ability to soak up this radiation and blow it out in the form of farts. Their beast-modes became fully robotic, whereas their robot modes in turn received organic properties. They also have tertiary travel modes.<br/><br/>Transmetals 2 are further-enhanced forms, usually even stronger than regular Transmetals. Both their beast and robot modes are part-robotic and part-organic, and generally have monstrous, ugly, asymmetrical designs. Some even possess supernatural abilities, such as telekinesis or fast healing. Not all of them have tertiary modes, although some (like Megatron) do, and Optimal Optimus even has two vehicle modes beyond his beast and robot modes.<br/><br/>A Transmetal driver is usually needed to become a Transmetal 2, but other power-boosting methods, such as absorbing the Spark of another Transformer can also result in a Transformer becoming a Transmetal 2. It's exact origin is never explained beyond that Megatron found it somewhere. Since the Vok left their mysterious devices in numerous places on Earth, it is to be assumed that Megatron found it in one such place. "TRUKK NOT MUNKY" is a popular fan-phrase that was coined when the show had been airing and is still being used today. It came from the extremely vocal (and annoying) complaints that many angry Transformers fans had leveled against the series, namely that Optimus Prime went from being a truck to a gorilla ("monkey"). The phrase is written incorrectly and in all-caps on purpose, so as to lampshade how ridiculous these complaints were – not only was Optimus Primal not the same character as Optimus Prime, and gorillas are more correctly apes. Further, the cartoon's creators had no control over which kind of animal the characters turned into, since that was decided upon by the toy designers at Hasbro/Kenner, and besides, him being a gorilla had no bearing on the actual production values or writing quality of the show.<br/><br/>Over time, the phrase came to be used as a ridicule against anti-Beast Wars fans in general, or at least those that claim to hate the series purely because its cast transforms into animals instead of vehicles. At times, it is used as a catch-all phrase to mock every Transformers fan who is of the belief that anything new and unusual is by default bad, and that the Transformers brand should veer back to its original, '80s roots and never introduce any new or original ideas. No. When Megatron refers to him as "Unicron's spawn", he means it as an insult.<br/><br/>However we do not learn Tarantulas' true origins. a5c7b9f00b Akad Suzunosuke: Kimento taiji full movie in hindi free download hd 1080pTrue Memoirs of an International Assassin dubbed hindi movie free download torrentOne Minute to Play online freeKung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll 720p torrentThe Blues Brothers 2000hindi The GiftedDownload the Cherry 2000 full movie tamil dubbed in torrentHaircraft in Space movie hindi free downloadSuicide Squad 2 full movie hindi downloadPull Over to Kill full movie download mp4
