The Beast Within!.......2007-06-06

People say that everyone is wild on the inside, but I don't think that they had robots in mind. The "Transformers" are back and, in my opinion, better than ever! The Autobots and Decepticons are long gone. This story is about their descendents, the smaller, but just as powerful, Maximals and Predicons. The Predicons steal an ancient Golden Disc from the Maximals and try to get away, but they are chased by a Maximal exploration ship. Both of the ships do battle and, during the battle, both are sent back in time millions of years. Both ships crash down onto a strange planet that looks like Earth, and even has the same animals that Earth has, but the planet has TWO moons! All Transformers, both Predicon and Maximal, survive the crash, but there is a problem. The planet is toxic to them and in order to survive, they scan the bodies of animals in the area and take their forms for protection. Now, both sides try desperately to destroy the other in a war for survival...a war for honor...a war of beasts.
NOTE: Sorry for the long review, but when I start writing, I am hard to stop. Thanks for reading and I hope you purchase and enjoy "Beast Wars: The Complete First Season".

Beast Wars season 1.......2007-01-19

Excellent kid DVD. Great jokes and fun situations that these Predacons and Maximals get into. Wonderful voices for each character.

A fresh start to the transformers, the weekest of the 3 seasons, stories not tied together as much.......2007-01-19

When this came out in the mid-90s, I was suprised to catch it on one of the local channels early sunday mornings. Transformers were back, and at the time in really cool computer graphics. The Maximals, decendents of the ancient autobots, and the Predicons, decendents of the ancient decepticons, battle it out on a remote planet (found later to be earth). It is a fun story line watching the first season as they adapt to this new world. episodes 1-2 are tied together, then the other episodes are just kinda loose, no major storyline carried over episode to episode. As the season nears the end, and into the 2 and 3rd seasons, the stories get placed more into a continueing theme storyline. Looking at the computer animation now, it was kind of crude, even compared to the Beast machines episodes, but it was good at the time. So if you like the original transformers, I think you will addapt well to this cartoon series. Check it out, still affordable here on amazon and easy to get a entire series cheap.

Outstanding!.......2007-01-04

Like a few others I judged this show before I saw it almost ten years ago and didn't give it a chance. I decided to take a gamble, and behold another late fan. Before I was done watching the first disk I wasted no time ordering the 2nd, 3rd seasons and Beast Machines. Usually I dont trust the costumer reviews, but this is one time I'm glad I did. I wont include any spoilers in this review except the two iconic characters Prime and Megatron are both in this and their characters are still the same for the most part. The new look is cool, but the stories is the strong point. Excellent voice acting and the action scenes are very good. What I really like up to this point, there are NO human companions so far. So if your the type who gave up on Armada and Energon and those human companions annoyed the hell out of you. Then this is your dose of a good product worthy of the Transformers name. Highly recommended.

Beast Wars: First Steps.......2006-10-21

BW was getting its feet under it in the first season. That was readily apparent in the voice talent getting a feel for its respective characters, and CGI errors that weren't made later on.

Still, the first season is very solid. It shows the characters thinking their way out of tight spots, dealing with the realities of war, and also includes links to the original Transformers series. (I.E., the appearance of Starscream, mentions of the "Great War", and so on.)

***Spoilers***
One of my personal favorite episodes is "Dark Voyage." It shows Rhinox, Cheetor, Rattrap and Dinobot rendered blind, damaged and low on power in an Energon explosion. Under attack from Waspinator and Terrorsaur, Rhinox has his team "picture a targeting grid in your head, like the one we use in practice simulations." Using this technique, Rhinox is able to tell his team where to fire, and fight off the Preds. A perfect example of using your head when the usual methods don't work.

I recommend this for any tran fan, old and new. The CGI might take some getting used to, particularly if you're used to conventional animation, but once you do, the show will definitely stand out.
