Beast Machines is Not Very Good - TV Review

- After the awesome show that was Transformers Beast Wars, we got the not-so-great show, Beast Machines. In this video I'll be discussing Beast Machines and where I felt it went wrong.
![Beast Machines [Part One] Review / Retrospective - Bull Session](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gr6qDnuijsY/mqdefault.jpg)
Inexplicable organic bigotry aside, this show's depiction of Megs felt like a logical evolution of the character. By the end of BW his already huge ego had progressed to a full blown god complex. Remaking Cybertron itself in his own image felt right. Granted, I do agree with Paul (Bull Session) that Megs wouldn't be satisfied existing all by his lonesome. Nobody around for him to gloat to. Should've kept the Pred populace for subjects to glare at & press down on. Here's ol' grape face's chance to finally humiliate the Tripredacus Council.
Ol’ grape face... I like it!
I remember being let down by Beast Machines as a 90's kid because Beast Wars still holds up .
Feels like yesterday lol I used to time in on YTV right and when they came back with the new graphics I was appalled lol they looked worse
I think this franchise is really at its best when it breaks the established mold eg. G1 Season 3, MTMTE, Animated, Beast Machines etc.
I genuinely think though that if this show had no connection to the previous one it would have been much much better. Now I kinda understand why alot of G1 fans hated the changes after the 86 movie
Beast Machines is an excellent cartoon. It's just a bad sequel to Beast Wars
It is not a bad sequel to Beast Wars!
True. It just has a bad conection. It should have ben a stand alone or another group of cybetronians on another planet. Something like beast wars but on an alian planet. Maby the beast mode transformers need organic alt forms to protect against something on the planet that damages robot forms like a gas or smething and the predicons have the uper hand with thier vehicon drones.
@@TheOmegazerox Beast Machines should not have been a stand alone series!It just fine as a sequel to Beast Wars!
@@humangirl2122no
No it isnt
@@michelcoolguy1701 Yes, yes it was!
Yeah same thoughts...
1. I'm often disappointed on Optimus leadership.
2. I cannot understand how megatron suddenly transformed cybertron to be his.
3. Their transformation is like magical.
4. How waspinator survived the beast wars and travel back to cybertron.
5. Rhinox' decision was deprived by optimus unlike what blackarachnia did to silverbolt.
Regarding Megatron, the guy had likely millions of years to plan out his shit, as in the show, the 4 Million years of Transformers history’s been wiped out by Megatron and his rule essentially, tho we don’t know if this is because of his rule specifically or because he just wiped out the data, but assume it was. That means he had 4 Million years to prepare and do his shit. And with the lessons given to him by Cryotek, I’m sure he was just fine off on his own. Enough prep time to prepare for the Maximals as well.
6- why maximals decided to not recover waspinator memories? (Or at least considering to do that). They claim they fight for everyone freedom, including his, but the never did that
Yeah, all of this crap is just nonsensical.
@@jacobvalbuena4289 This is not crap!
@@humangirl2122 yes it is, did you not watch the first one.
I like Beast Machines...
Good!
I absolutely hate beast machines
But I completely respect and support your opinion
If you like it good on you but as a heavy beast wars fans I personally hate it
Beast machines is trash awful hate it
BEAST MACHINES IS NOT TRASH!
@@humangirl2122 While the show had some flaws I have to acknowledge, Beast Machines still ended up being my favorite TF show
Yes
@@bmadgnashteethI hate beast machines
But I respect your opinion
@@michelcoolguy1701 That's fine
Optimus is a nutcase version of Tigertron.........that's too bad.
no he wasn't!
@@humangirl2122yes he is
@@michelcoolguy1701 NO he wasn't! you are wrong about everything you say!
@@humangirl2122 go cry about it
I believe the reason why BEAST MACHINES didn't connect with a lot of people is due to these reasons:
1: It embarks on the after-effects of war. Meaning after you go through traumatizing events, killings, etc. It will mold you into becoming something else. Which, in most cases depressed and mad at the world. That happened in the series, and everyone was too severely depressed. You don't showcase these dark elements in a kids' show, especially every episode. The show was too mature for its audience.
2: The organic robot forms. Many BEAST WARS fans like myself didn't like the organic look of the transformers. I understood what the writers were going for. I/e Making the transformations look more HUMANOID, which correlates with the organic spectrum. But at the same time, it felt a bit weird, and at times they were not good to look at. Not just that, because of the organic forms, the transformers have no weapons (i.e., tech/guns, etc.) except for the limited organic powers such as shock, flight, and beam powers.
While Beast Machines isn’t a perfect series and it does have its problems, I would say it’s far from being a terrible show. With Transformers shows such as Energon, Rid 2015 and The Prime Wars Trilogy, you could tell that no one gave a crap when making those shows. That’s clearly not the intent with Beast Machines, you can tell that they really did try their best here, even if it could have been a little bit better. But with that said, Beast Machines definitely does feel like the end of a long run, as not only did it mark the end of The Beast era but continuity wise, it was the end of the entire Generation One era as a whole, as every other transformers media afterwards would either be a reboot or a reimagining of the franchise.
For my way I hate the character design and the show is bad as hack
The show was not bad as hack!
I have many of the same criticisms but I came here to see what you thought and to see if Jetstorm got a pass. Because yes. He is one of the best things to come out of this series.
4:06 more like an insane cult leader if you ask me.
Beast machines had severall problems. I liked how the maximals and pridicons on earth wer both pretty even given the linited resorces and numbefs. Optimus beat down Megatron more then a vew times and Megatron had his momants. But here the maximals are outnumbered and outgunned by Megatron. It just takes away the great warriors from the beast wars. Transmetals' tm2 and fuzors wer added to make things more interesting. My bigest and main broblem with this program is the whole techno organic plot. Cybertron was once an organic planet? Seriousle. Still a good show but thier are other transformers shows I would chose over it.
I admit Beast Machines wasn't perfect even though I'm still a Beast Wars fan but I usally thought Robert Buckley's soundtrack was decent.
Good review
This show is the most boring thing ive ever seen its an awful sequel to my favourite transformers show and it ruins next to all the characters and the designs are the uglyest things ever
i still recall the twist of Rhinox turning bad breaking my heart as a wee lad. i missed out on silverbolt but oh man would i be disappointed as ever if i saw it.
imagine Organic Draias from fighbird fights beast machines megatron two villains 1v1 each other demonic organic and cold machine lover
Hey, new flash, tf war for cybertron kingdom was another let down.
I really like beast machines Megatron's design.
Beast wars 2 is the true sequel to beast wars and nobody can convince me otherwise
i agree beast machines was doodoo i agree with you said
No it wasn't!
@@humangirl2122 personally I hate it sorry if you didn't like what I Said
can we all agree to, the music and sound design for the bots, good shit
I disagree I hate the music in this show but that's just my opinion
Waspinator got fucked over, too, I mean they took away his happy ending from Beast Wars. WTF?
ok let's remove the they could have ended it but played fair episode, allow the writers to watch beast wars(they weren't ) or let the same people who wrote beast wars write it, update the animation And most of all give it todays toy tech t o make show accurate characters, it would hold up better,
My point is in many parts it just could live up to what it was trying didn't have the right time to appear, or the right people
I enjoyed watching beast machines as a kid.it was dark,
Hardcore,had some plot twist's, and made things more
Interesting.
I’m a very big hater for beast machines
But I completely support and respect your opinion
@@michelcoolguy1701 Being a very big hater for Beast Machines prove's you have the heart of a Decepticon. I am not like Andrew Kuta and I do not act like a big baby! EVERYTHING YOU SAY ABOUT ME IS WRONG!
@humangirl2122 michealcoolguy1701 just doesn't like it and is just stating his opinion you shouldn't force your opinion on to others saying they are wrong for it I personally have never seen beast machines so I have yet to get an opinion on it but michealcoolguy1701 still respects people's opinions if they like beast machines if people ever get mad at you for liking beast machines they're either People who can't handle other people's different opinions or you were just trying to force they're opinion about it to change
@@stoutlandsverk6575 I wasn't doing any of that stuff! He was bullying me by calling me pathetic, comparing me to a disgusting person and calling me a big baby! I am not any of those thing's!
@humangirl2122 you hate on people for pointing put flaws in show and they just say they don't like it just because you like it doesn't mean it's good and you hate on people first just for having a different opinion it's like my relationship with the transformers generations g2 ramjet figure I absolutely love the figure but I know it's not a very good one. Nothing is perfect like how beast machines isn't perfect beast wars isn't perfect you shouldn't hate on people for having a different opinion the reason people quote on quote bully you is because of the way you act when people dislike something you like you get mad and say they're wrong and if people call you pathatic or a baby because of this then that probably means your acting like one
I like beast machiineeees
Good!
I respect your opinion but I personally hate beast machines
4:52 lol!
This series gets way too much hate. It was a bold attempt at making a truly unique Transformers show, which people in the fandom are constantly asking for, constantly complaining about everything being too G1, then you have a show that's as far away from G1 as possible and people hate it. Meh. I liked it well enough. I acknowledge the flaws in the character writing and the tone of the story, but I disagree that Optimus was just some "crazy cult leader", his position makes complete sense given the situation he's in. He's practically in hell, has no idea what's happening but that he's on Cybertron and Megatron has taken over, and there's a voice telling him how to survive in this new environment. Of COURSE he'd follow its advice. And the show even acknowledges that Optimus is going too far in that direction and promptly changes course so that he looks more for a balance between tech and organics, which is THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SHOW.
I dunno, I think it's a great sequel to Beast Wars. It did exactly what I wanted it to, take the series in an even stranger, new direction. Because I actually want new stories, and this delivered.
admit that the designs are fuckin horrible
Turkey silver bolt xp
@@enzolavanne2733 I like Optimus and Cheetors designs just fine. Yes, they look weird, but it just works for the setting of the show. Everything about Beast Machines is weird. The entire premise is weird. Cybertron used to be organic? That's fucking weird. And it just worked for me. I liked it. It was interesting and special. I'm also not ever here putting a gun up to anyone's head forcing them to like the designs either. I get why they're hated. I just don't hate them.
Bold ATTEMPT being the keyword the best idea in the world can be made a dumpster fire by poor execution and if there's anything beast machines does it's definitely poor execution
@@enzolavanne2733 NO THEY AREN'T!
HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE GREATEST SERIES, BEAST MACHINES? NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
seriosuly tho I liked it, just as good as beast wars
You do you. It's perfectly fine that you enjoyed it.
I loved BM, loooooved it, loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it. I loved how they did tankor, love silverbolt, HAHAHHAHAAH
Well I guess if you hate character development this wouldn’t be the show for you. I agree that they try to be edgy and it’s somewhat a flop but I disagree about the silverbolt character. He was a dick but this was someone who was ashamed of his actions and was hell bent on revenge. He also was upset that he was forced to be reformatted, she never gave him a choice. I hate what they did with Rhynox. In episode 4 he was all ready to join them but got his memory wiped. Soon as he became aware of who he was then everything changed. That was horrible. But this is definitely a good series compared to the dreck that they’ve been doing the last 20 yrs.
Beast machines is the best transformers show
Its dog crap it would’ve been better if they kept their transmetal self all because of a virus whos idea was it to tie a big robot on the outside of the ship
@@kermitgold_yt5786 it’s great
@@novustalks7525 You're right.It's great!
@@kermitgold_yt5786 It's not dog crap!
@@humangirl2122 have you ever heard of opinions?
"None of the characters feel the same"
It's called character development.
character development is positive, and happens over a period of time. Not suddenly without reason.
@@Lazulii33 To be fair, they WERE living in an apocalypse.
@@mechanwhal6590 you say that like they werent just stranded on an alien planet in endless battle.
@@Lazulii33 On said alien planet, the odds were more or less even. The Predacons would have an advantage here and there, as would the Maximals, who eventually won and were on the way home, with high expectations. When they got back home, literally everything on the planet was hunting them. They were hurt, confused, frightened - of course it would mess with their minds.
On that note, the whole series felt like an experiment to see how they reacted and adapted to various stimuli (Let’s see what happens when we take their robot modes away...) They were kind of like lab rats.
Character development implies this is a logical progression and not a nonsensical 180 that starts the moment they went from the final episode of Beast wars and the first episode of beast machines
Beast Wars/Machines is NOT a DIRECT continuation to anything G1 anyways so the Beast Era doesn't count. Look it up on Tfwiki and you'll see. Plus you can see it in the shows (BW mix G1 cartoon and comic elements together.) BM Rattrap look=😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah I'm never going to apologize for knowing this is the best TF cartoon. Pretty much any writer will tell you that character flaws and conflict are the basic elements of drama. That a lot of characters were too squeaky clean in BW isn't a problem for BM, it was a problem with BW that was improved upon.
And even if someone doesn't like BM at all, you have to admit that right off the bat it's just a flat out more creative and inspired piece of media than practically everything since. Unless you really really like the constant G1 reboots - good for people who do, I don't care and never will care.
Tbh, one of my main issues with transformers as a series is that they tend to overdo the G1 plotline. I love it whenever Transformers is able to break the mold, just not a fan of this show.
