A new beginning for a new kind of Transformers
|
| From the creators of the computer animated series Reboot, Beast Wars premiered in the mid-90's with a different spin on the Transformers lore. The series begins with the heroic Maximals (the descendants of the Autobots) and the villainous Predicons (the descendents of the Decepticons) crash landing on what appears to be Earth after the dinosaurs became extinct and brief signs of civilization began to stir. Instead of transforming into vehicles, the bots transform into various animals and beasts (hence the title), as they do battle over this first season. Though there were decidedly two camps when Beast Wars premiered (fans of the classic Transformers series either enjoyed it or hated it, with myself originally being one of the haters), there is something about the show that just grows on you. The characterizations offer all sorts of odes to the classic series, as the Maximals consist of leader Optimus Primal, young Cheetor, motormouth Rattrap, former Predicon-turned Maximal Dinobot, scientific officer Rhinox, and eventually newer members Tigertron and Air Razor. The Predicons offer leader Megatron, the treacherous Tarantulas, Black Arachnia (who would go on to play a vital role in the series' development), Scorpinok, the crazy and annoying Waspinator, and Terasaur. The show only gets better with each progressing episode, and the season ending cliffhanger will have you begging for more as a heroic sacrifice leads to the question: just who is behind all this? All in all, if you're a Transformers fan in the least bit, Beast Wars is certainly worth a look, as it expands the Transformers mythos, and is an important chapter as well. |
