Beast Wars gets MUCH better after the first 6 episodes. It was aggrovating an uninspired when it first started, but the series eventually matures and it's actually one of the best examples of Transformers storytelling. If you didn't like it, try watching TF Animated, because if you didn't like Beast Wars, I can guarantee you you won't like the Unicron Trilogy or many of the other series.

Better after those first 6, eh? Hmmm. HMMM.

As it is, I'm already extremely fond of the Cybertron and Animated series. Armada and Energon, not as much.

Beast Wars is awesome though! The character development is amazing, Dinobot rocks, and there's a crazy story to tie it all together. I think it deserves to be watched and loved.

You...you don't like Beast Wars?

What is wrong with you?

Beast Wars is far and away the greatest thing to ever come out of the Transformers franchise.

It especially puts G1 to shame.

G1 was terrible.

@TUF - I think the real question is, what isn't wrong with you?

@Black Six - *casts a skeptical eye on him* *and at Kaymac*... *three-finger chinstroke* I guess I'll have to call the others in on this.

Smeag, Janus, Alsru, Toromaga, Bionicle Raptor, my friends! Does Beast Wars truly get better after the 5th episode? Should I keep watching?

Come on Senjo! BW was one of my favorite shows in the 90s!

Of course it gets better!

Come now, by the way you were making it sound, it has just got to be better than those first six episodes.

The episodes do get better, mostly with the amimation as well as tying in with G1 Transformers with a number of cameos. With all shows, though, the clichés and gags will always remain, but every Maximal character goes through a maturing period. Also, if you make it through to the second season, a number of those annoying ones go away for good.

After a while a mystical tone starts to take over the storyline, esspecially with a few characters.

And just think, no soft, squishy, annoying humans running around to worry about getting crushed.

Oh, great image just came into memory...Megatron using a repairation pool as his own jacuzzi with a rubber ducky.

~Alsru~

You are quite possibly the first person who dislikes BW Megatron. I'm afraid we cannot be friends any longer.

I kid <3

But seriously, season 1 of Beast Wars was still as the series was finding its niche. As it starts to branch out into the real storylines it gets much better in my opinion.

Then again, looking at the episode guide for season one, there are many that I loved. It may just be a series that's not for you. If you weren't a fan of "The Web" or "Chain of Command" then it just may not be the right thing for you. However if it's just episodes like "Power Surge" or "Equal Measures" that turn you off, you'll find less of those kind of gag one-shot episodes as the series plows forward.

Plus Tigatron, BlackArachnia, Inferno, Airrazor, and the Vok haven't even been introduced. Give it time, young one.

@BioRaptor - *snicker,snort* Well, if you INSIST.

@Alsru @Janus I appreciate your honest answers - thanks guise

In all honesty, though, Janus - I liked 'Power Surge' better than the others. I'm not TRYING to go opposite of your statements, it just happened.

I'm still trying this Beast Wars thing out. I actually really enjoyed 'Double Jeopardy' (ep 8). I'm on ep 10 now. Retaining a healthy dose of skepticism,

Senjo

Keep going Senjo! You're doing great!

Hey don't get me wrong, I loved 'Power Surge' for what it was, a one off gag episode with Terrorsaur getting SUPREME POWER. It was awesome...I just prefer episodes more like "Transmutate" and "Code of Hero" more than them, is all.

Oh man, 'Transmutate' was amazing. That's one that sticks with you for a while.
