It isn't Beast Wars, get over it
|
| Beast Wars was enough of a departure from the Transformers mythology, but the show proved to be something special indeed. Beast Machines picks up where Beast Wars left off, and things take even more of a turn with this series. Beast Machines picks up with Maximals Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Rattrap, and Black Arachnia on Cybertron and trapped in their original beast forms. Silverbolt and Rhinox are missing, and none of them have any memory of what happened. Things are complicated even more so by the fact that they are being hunted by the drone-like Vehicons, who are controlled by Megatron. As the series develops throughout it's two seasons (both of which are collected here) the Maximals slowly learn the truth behind their comrade's disappearances and what Megatron is planning, while gaining new attack modes, finding new allies, and learning the truth behind Cybertron's history as the barrier between the organic and the mechanical begins to break. Unlike on Beast Wars, the Maximals don't transform, instead they "morph" into their robot modes. This alone is one of the reasons that Beast Machines never attained the greatness that Beast Wars achieved, along with the convoluted, and a bit confusing, storyline, and the whole "organic VS mechanical" storyline just really didn't fit here. Not to mention that the new robot forms of many of the Maximals (Rattrap comes to mind) just come off as lame. Still, there's plenty of great twists and turns, spectacularly animated battle sequences, and a downbeat, shocker of an ending to the series that may come as a surprise to longtime viewers of the Beast Wars/Machines saga. All in all, while Beast Machines never reached what Beast Wars managed to achieve, it's still a more than worthy addition to the Transformers mythos, and needless to say, if you loved Beast Wars, you should give Beast Machines a chance just to see how it all comes to an end. |
