That Optimal Optimus legitimately looks worse than the one they originally released when the show was on.

It's not even the right fucking colour scheme what the fuck

Story and characters are great, but a lot of people complain about the CGI which I personally think is still quite good (and is honestly better than the CGI in some of the later Transformers shows).

Still looks kinda worse imo, even though from memory it appears to be more show-accurate lol.

The original one had metallic-looking pieces and paint.

Damn I loved that show. Nowadays the CGI isnt the best and everything looks very smooth and without detail but its still a great show. Beast Machines tho.. tf happened?

Edit: I meant the environments with the smooth and w/o detail comment. The character models were still pretty good.

It's amazing. Most of the time when I watch shows that I liked as a kid I go "what the fuck was wrong with me back then?". But beast wars is still a great show.

I believe that one is a rather low budget option figure. This one below is a more recent one that is greatly higher quality, and priced accordingly.

PE doesn't make official merchandise, notice how it's only referred to as "Beast Gorira".

I didn't realize that Optimus Primal was only 9 inches though, certainly explains why it is the way it is.

There was actually 3 parts to the final episode iirc.

Optimus actually ended up back in the Optimal Optimus form to fight Megatron.

They both die.

Optimus learns from the Oracle that it was never the intention to defeat Megatron and have Optimus' organic approach to defeat Megatron's technological standpoint but to fuse them together. After they die, Cyberton is reformatted as a cyborg like planet with both organic and technological parts. All the citizens who had their sparks stolen are restored and Cheetor is made the new leader.

I know it isn't official, but frankly most of the best figures aren't official anymore in my experience.

Yep. The guys who wrote Beast Machines were told not to watch Beast Wars as Hasbro didnt want Beast Machines to be clogged by past continuity other than the basics.

Breast Force is an actual Transformers sub-group. In Japan. In the late 1980s.

PotP line is not supposed to be 100% show accurate, it's a different series where all the designs are consistent.

Also, LMFAO @ the $330 price tag on MP Megatron

So was that the end of the beast stories? I remember it started on Earth and then went to Cybertron...

The Earth they were on in Beast Wars was about 4 million years ago. When they returned to Cybertron, they were traveling to their present day. Megatron was literally tied to their ship but broke free and I guess got ahead of them. They came out of hyperspace seconds later but I guess was many years after Megatron got there since a few seconds by their time was many years since they were traveling through time. So by the time they landed on Cybertron, Megatron had already gone ahead and stolen all the sparks to make his viacons.

Unfortunately, yes.

There were two other Japanese exclusive Beast Wars series though that were in the same continuity.

Fox Kids probably did a lot of meddling on that show.

I remember Beast Wars was originally syndicated, but then went to Fox Kids after it ended there and was heavily edited.

I guess they bought the rights so that they could air Beast Machines.

The scene where Tarantulus runs around on fire was cut in later airings.

There was another scene where Rhinox was firing his Gatling guns and a bunch of shells had accumulated at his feet. That part was cut in the Fox Kids version.

I'm sure there was plenty more, but Fox Kids was notorious for its editing.
