@@theonewhowatches869 Okay thank you. I was curious what the explanation was. I knew it would have been made after the show because they just didn't know about the ending of Beast Machines yet. I suppose the explanation is decent enough for something that is just trying to fix continuity errors although isn't anything great.
Given that whatever was meant to come after Beast Machines had the main cast with actual vehicle modes I wish they just scrapped Beast Machines and skipped straight to that and implemented the "Megatron escaped, we need to find him and stop him again" shit on a more normal Cybertron with the characters having their original alt modes back.
This guy is actually sick looking, happy to see BM at least getting a little love. Cheetor was one of the more tolerate designs too me despite having grasshopper legs.
I have to agree with you on this one, I do not need the Maximals from this show made, but I could live with getting some Deluxe or Voyager Vehicons, especially Strika and Obsidian. Those designs were far better than everyone else in the show.
I thought we were done roasting Beast Machines... 5:25 - In the words of Bobby Skullface: "What... The F$&# Is That?!?!?" *Pokes it with a ruler* "...I don't trust it..."
What I would give for a proper voyager BM Cheetor. Beast Machines' character designs are beautifully detailed and alien, and deserve modern toys that do them justice.
@@PerspectiveEnd Eh, they seem as natural a next step as the Beastformers were from classic G1 designs. You've gotta keep in mind the entire transformers species was wiped out by a plague. To survive, the transformers had to essentially be reborn as a new form of life. Primal became the first of a new species. That's just really epic scifi and as much as I would've liked to see Transtech unify the aesthetic a bit, we never got that far.
Well not so much a plague but a Bio Weapon, and I mean how that works with robots is anyones guess, but anyways I just don't think it's important that the cure makes them look alien. There are a million ways you could say it worked without making them haunt my dreams.
*Does walk of shame for actually liking the Beast Machines theme of "reconciling inorganic technology with the organic instead of being in constant conflict."* 😞
I would have liked if the tripredacous coucil were the villains of beast machines, and megatron was working in the shadows to help to maximals so he could use them to bring the concil down and he could rule cybertron
5:59 the only good parts in my opinion are Cheetor’s character growth where he matures and became the leader of the Maximals, then Blackarachnia bringing Silverbolt back to the light and finally Megatron, he’s a villain that has been going extinct these days. Being a remorseless villain with irredeemable qualities, only Transformers can create a psychopathic dragon
I can agree I really miss when badguys could be bad. Though I think making Cheetor the leader is a Mistake, because there were so many more Qualified people to take that Mantle, like Rattrap, Blackarachnia, or Silverbolt.
I managed to get studio series grindor for R1000 ($54) when the original cosy was R1800 ($95) This has nothing to do with the video im just happy about this for some reason
With a bit of work BM could be a pretty good show. A crazy Megatron who's taken over all of Cybertron and keeps everyones spark locked away? Fantastic idea!
Y'know, the argument could be made that Energon and Beast Machines are only getting core class toys because Hasbro recognizes the bad reps of these cartoons, thus not wanting to allocate any more budget to the characters than they have to. But you could also argue (for the Beasties at least) that they're made in core class to be scale accurate since the Maximals were significantly smaller than the G1 Autobots.
see I wouldn't mind I a full size update of energon megatron, heck I reckon you could retool it into g1 thunderwing as well, but energon optimus would be a hard sell as its such a poor rushed design after the winner that was armada and the greatness that was cybertron. His only decent super modes are with wing saber the rest are quite lazy
Wait, Energon has a bad rep? I mean, I get Beast Machines having an extremely awful reputation. But Energon of all things having a bad rep? I'm actually curious how that is.
@@ZackarySchejbalCODBO2RGM2 I've heard from various people about why they don't like Transformers Energon, some say the bad animation and others say it's got bad designs. Among other things.
BM somehow got scale accurate characters before the good Beast Era show. Also, I got Silverbolt from the same wave, and he is fantastic. The voyagers from that wave are damn near perfect and I didn't even buy Cybertron Starscream (nor any other Non-BW characters in Legacy due to my restrictions). In addition, we need a collaborative retool of this guy into an actual Xenomorph since Cheetormorph here is 90% of the way there.
yeah I feel like when they were developing this figure they decided on "lets take the Beast Machines Happy Meal toy and give it some kibble and slightly more articulation." But kinda ballsy that they would choose one of the Maximals when it would have been safer to do one of the vehicons generals
As I have told you I ordered the universe Hound after watching your video!! I love it!! Everything from the ravage to the packaging to even how it doesn’t look like it transformers in vehicle mode!!
Everything changed when the Beast Machines attacked. Only the Perspective End, master of all four review styles could stop them, but when the world needed him most... He was playing Helldivers 2.
I'm happy to see some corners of the franchise finally get more attention. Can't say I'm ecstatic to collect all the beast machines characters, but I like seeing it nonetheless. Heres hoping for more superlink/energon figures. Also, if they could do a Reflector from the new comic who transforms into a complete camera by himself, I'd be super down for that
It's nice to get some winder franchise representation, but I don't see this selling none the less. It's Beast Machines after all. But I'd be down for more Energon figures.
This being a core class is probably the safest bet for beast machine maximals cause it’s the beast machine maximal designs. The only beast machine designs that might work at a larger size class is the vehicons cause those are more pleasing designs to look at over the abominations the maximals are.
Ah, so it pulls a Legacy Silverbolt by adding tabs to the limbs to make the beast mode worse. At least Silverbolt is a fantastic figure. Unlike this...thing.
I did enjoy Beast Machines, but at the same time you're not wrong. We need a Beast Machines Kai that's the story parts with all the repetitive chase scenes and Maximals arguing with each other cut out.
I recently rewatched Beast Machines and yeah its not great... some good concepts in there but the worst part is its hard to look at. Some Vehicon designs are undeniably great though. Wish we could see some of them get the Legacy treatment.
3:47 If i'm not mistaken, he actually uses this as a glider in the show or a boomerang... i actually subjected myself to watching Beast Machines a few years ago-
@@Zane_Is_Insane honestly I wish I was better at it, lately I've been having an entire day go by sometimes where I don't respond to a comment and I feel guilty about it. I used to respond to literally everything, but I just don't know where the time goes anymore. I look up from work for 2 seconds and the day is gone.
I cut the tabs off and it did wonders for the figure. Only downside now, besides being Beast Machines, is the hollow head is unable to look up for a gliding pose
I think I know who this person is that you mentioned. Bumped into her via an old video of Runestone Reviews video of BM Silverbolt and she basically said he was blocked off her channel for his negative review on said toy for calling him something-turkey related. Even made a bullying Silverbolt PSA video about it. In whose mentally challenged mind does it count as bullying a fictional character if the toy is shit? The only redeeming thing I have found with the figure is that he has a griffin mode, which is theorized to be an early beast mode for Silverbolt until it was chosen for a condor. It helps the figure a little, but not a lot. I even tried to talk some common sense in that he and other reviewers such as TJOmega who also have reviwed the toy with their negative opinions of the figure but no, she said that they are "WRONG!' and are bullies to the character? What? Then she rambled something about me and others hating BW and BM, whuch I didn't even bring up since I like both shows. And according to her opinions are like weapons of war. Take your meds, ma'am. Anyways about the toy, happy to see BM getting some recognition since Tankor in T30 (not counting the Savage recolor of the little TR Fangry figure we got in 2016-2017). And that's a solid 10 years ago.
I actually came up with something cool that they could do for the Vehicons. I was thinking that, with how good the Junkions and Rock Lords are doing, why not make the Vehicons the new Weaponizers? They could transform as normal, but have detachable limbs so you can customize them or display them getting blown to bits or something. That’d probably be a good incentive to army-build them as well. I would at least get one of each, cause they were the best designs of that crappy show.
2:11 Well, I wouldn’t call Cheetor a mistake specifically, even though he did fail at protecting the All-Spark… Oh, you meant that one… Yeah, he was a mistake.
I found Thundertron over the weekend at a local game stop, and I was like "Boy! I sure do love finding wave 1 figures, even though WAVE 2 HAS STARTED TO COME OUT!!!!!!" Seriously, what is going on with Hasbro's distrobution? Since Febuary, I've only ever found the core class figures in stock at any of my local retailers. Then if its anything higher they just don't have it. Like Target's website says they have them not avalible online but you can get them in store, then you go to the store not to find them! I don't know if Target is lying or they are just did not recive anything higher than a core class.
Great video PerspectiveEnd!! I hope that this will be the last of Beast Machines for a while, since as you said that face of Cheetor's. O_O lol Keep on being amazing.
Easy Xenomorph retool/custom. The hole in the back of the head is perfect for it. Maybe I should buy a couple just to make a custom army of them. Maybe the purchase would tell Hasbro to make the cool Vehicons.
6:16 - I would an actually highly disagree on this take. Especially when you hear Robert Buckley's music in the fight between Primal and Optimal Megatron. Man even the intro music is so... I would say very unique.
I think that if the eyes were painted completely in blue or green it would look like a generic 90s 2D platformer robot enemy that walks back and forth and honestly that would be more charming
@@PerspectiveEnd it's literally just nostalgia I can admit it's inherently stupid. However I did like the nature vs technology theme and Tankor make a really good point on nature being inherently destructive......Also Jetstorm
2:56 personally to make myself feel better after seeing the face, i pretend that the purple lines under the “eyes” are the real eyes, and the “eyes” are eyebrows or smth idfk
In short, it's basic, but besides the stupid articulation limiting pegs, it's good enought as an modern BM Cheetor. Heck, If I ever get one , I may try repaint him in to one of his variant's, or in to Beast Pretender Catilla. Either way, I'm interested in getting him when avaible. As for the question of the video... If you had to pick what new Legacy BM figure would be next, who would you pick and why ?
Obsidian. I pick him, because the options are him Jetstorm, or Strika for me, Strika I'd want to be the IDW version, and Jetstrom I figure may get a figure on his own eventually, as he's the most popular of the Vehicon Generals. Obsidian, is awesome, and his incarnation in the show looks good already, so he doesn't need a revamp like Strika.
Primal becoming a religious zealot in Beast Machines was not on my bingo card but if it comes down to being techno organic or having your spark locked away for the rest of time unless you're one of the lucky few who Megatron pulls out to have your entire identity erased and overwritten to be a mindless servant I think my choice would be clear. Megatron.
Saw this at my local target with the Tigerhawk, TFA BB and Lego Optimus. But IDC not just because it's Beast machines but because it's a core class, the only time I'd have a core class is if my mother would get it for me
1:21 this reminds me of an incident were this person would harass people non stop (including me) because they didn’t like beast machines I don’t like beast machines (I actually hate it a bit) but I wouldn’t harrass people who liked the show Maybe it was the same person I guess I was right they were the same person

@@davifariatertuliano exactly she has a huge tantrum when someone says they dont like beast machines Even if you try and say it in the most wholesome way possible
this year my main goal is to get more beast wars stuff, but if i for some reason get this thing i'm taking the robot head off and throwing it in a tub and leaving it in cat mode ima release the demon, Beast machines should never have existed and should have shown the events of after beast wars
I'll go to bat for Beast Machines a little bit. It's a fucking mess and a truly disappointing follow-up to Beast Wars but it does have a few interesting ideas.
@@PerspectiveEnd Specific to it I mean. Like I don't agree with Megatron suddenly hating his beast form or with Optimus going all in on the whole "make everything organic" thing but they are interesting concepts for the show to explore. Still a damn disgrace of a show but I don't think it's neccesarily the worst thing to ever come out of the franchise.
So I'm gonna be honest with you, I like Beast Machines. A lot. By the time Prime came out, I'd already gone back to it and was able to appreciate what it had to offer and I already did like some of the toys. That said, this looks as bad as Energon Megatron, did since reveals and you said exactly my thoughts, Happy Meal Toy. Hasbro has done better for cheaper for both these guys. If anything, both feel like a conscience effort to get people to not ask for more. That said, I'd actually recommend a lot of the figures from the first year designed before the show. Obsidian, Tankor, Jetstorm and Thrust were great for their era. I'd even stand up for Black Arachnia, Optimus Primal and Night Viper. Basically every toy up to and including the August 2000 waves have a lot more going for them and not looking like the show helps.
Honestly it's Happy Mealness is quaint to me, so while I recognize it's not really worth the money, I find it kind of charming for it. I have an Obsidian, and I really like that thing.
@@PerspectiveEnd if you like more interesting toys full of character like I do, get Thrust and Jetstorm or its repaint as Sonic Jet or Storm Jet. They are great toys. I'd say Skywarp, but probably not worth the premium price lol

Bumped into her via an old video of Runestone Reviews video of BM Silverbolt and she basically said he was blocked off her channel for his negative review on said toy for calling him something-turkey related. Even made a bullying Silverbolt PSA video about it. In whose mentally challenged mind does it count as bullying a fictional character if the toy is shit? The only redeeming thing I have found with the figure is that he has a griffin mode, which is theorized to be an early beast mode for Silverbolt until it was chosen for a condor. It helps the figure a little, but not a lot. I even tried to talk some common sense in that he and other reviewers such as TJOmega who also have reviwed the toy with their negative opinions of the figure but no, she said that they are "WRONG!' and are bullies to the character? What? Then she rambled something about me and others hating BW and BM, whuch I didn't even bring up since I like both shows. And according to her opinions are like weapons of war. Take your meds, ma'am.
Anyways about the toy, happy to see BM getting some recognition since Tankor in T30 (not counting the Savage recolor of the little TR Fangry figure we got in 2016-2017). And that's a solid 10 years ago.
If you think you know who it is, then you probably know who it is yeah. And that sounds like her MO.
We need a Jetstorm way more than a Tankor.
Core Class BM Cheetor screams Happy Meal toy the moment I saw it.
Absolutely! 100%.
The joke is on You, Perspective. I ENJOYED watching Beast Machines.
YOU MONSTER!!!!
I respect the creativity behind the designs in Beast Machines but sweet Primus these freaks are hard to look at.
I mean it doesn't really take creativity to do what ever if you just go "What's the Ugliest thing I could possibly do?"
If you followed the instructions the face does get hidden, but it is literally just turning his head around, which gives him a snood like a turkey
Yeah, and I also think that looks worse, because his head is longer in back so it sticks out further.
Give us the vehicon generals joe hasbro
Especially Obsidian, and Strika!... Also Jetstorm.
That is putrid.
I have never felt more physical pain than trying to comprehend the decision making process with this.
Oh no, every second of beast machines is uncomfortable to watch. Was when I first watched it, still is now.
I feel you on that, and not half the reasons is because of the horrible music.
This moment at 5:26 was so funny and creepy. Also, does this remind you of The dark crystal?
I'm glad to hear that moment landed. And I can see what about it would remind you of the Dark Crystal, but I didn't notice it till you pointed it out.
What in particular?
I actually came up with something cool that they could do for the Vehicons. I was thinking that, with how good the Junkions and Rock Lords are doing, why not make the Vehicons the new Weaponizers? They could transform as normal, but have detachable limbs so you can customize them or display them getting blown to bits or something.
That’d probably be a good incentive to army-build them as well. I would at least get one of each, cause they were the best designs of that crappy show.
As long as Jetstorm got his own non Weaponizing figure, I'd be pretty cool with that. Would make sense too cause they were built with Spare parts.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah we need a new Jetstorm regardless, seeing as he was one of the saving graces of BM.
2:11 Well, I wouldn’t call Cheetor a mistake specifically, even though he did fail at protecting the All-Spark… Oh, you meant that one… Yeah, he was a mistake.
It took me a minute to realize you were talking about the Cyberverse one.
@@PerspectiveEnd What other significant Cheetors do you know? (Emphasis on significant)
wait. Perspective has a figure that Prime V Prime doesn't have? this is an accomplishment!
Wait he hasn't reviewed this yet? Crazy.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah, surprisingly enough he hasn’t reviewed this fig, but the SS86 5 pack with the long awaited SS86 Hound
I found Thundertron over the weekend at a local game stop, and I was like "Boy! I sure do love finding wave 1 figures, even though WAVE 2 HAS STARTED TO COME OUT!!!!!!" Seriously, what is going on with Hasbro's distrobution? Since Febuary, I've only ever found the core class figures in stock at any of my local retailers. Then if its anything higher they just don't have it. Like Target's website says they have them not avalible online but you can get them in store, then you go to the store not to find them! I don't know if Target is lying or they are just did not recive anything higher than a core class.
Great video PerspectiveEnd!! I hope that this will be the last of Beast Machines for a while, since as you said that face of Cheetor's. O_O lol Keep on being amazing.
I actually think Jetstorm looks really sick and I want a figure of him
THEY COULD RETOOL HIM FROM ARMADA STARSCREAM!
The Vehicons looked cool, and Jetstorm was the best of them.
Bro actually has the Thousand Year Stare.
Indeed he does.
Easy Xenomorph retool/custom. The hole in the back of the head is perfect for it. Maybe I should buy a couple just to make a custom army of them. Maybe the purchase would tell Hasbro to make the cool Vehicons.
wow they made the beast machines design barrable
A feat of engineering to be sure.
The yellow on that figure is so bright I nearly vomited when I found it at retail
That's part of what makes it look like a Happy meal Toy.
6:16 - I would an actually highly disagree on this take. Especially when you hear Robert Buckley's music in the fight between Primal and Optimal Megatron. Man even the intro music is so... I would say very unique.
Can't wait for the inevitable CatSCAN repaint.
Just give me a TM2 Megatron BM retool. A patchy, partially skinned dragon is METAL AF!
I assume you want it to come with it's sick Gamer Chair?
@@PerspectiveEnd Perhaps? LOL
A Beast Machines Megatron would be cool but new stuff has to be done and the size class he would fit in.
Please tell me we’re at least getting a Jetstorm at some point. This world needs his beauty.
We can only hope.
I think that if the eyes were painted completely in blue or green it would look like a generic 90s 2D platformer robot enemy that walks back and forth and honestly that would be more charming
That might be less upsetting to look at.
The best thing about beast machines is horrifying my friends with the designs
It is a great torture device.
Beast Machines needs a remake that doesn't suck, or Beast Wars needs an actual sequel.
How quiet can you get when Asking for likes before it sounds muted?
I personally like Beast Machines.
What draws you to it?
@@PerspectiveEnd it's literally just nostalgia I can admit it's inherently stupid. However I did like the nature vs technology theme and Tankor make a really good point on nature being inherently destructive......Also Jetstorm
2:56 personally to make myself feel better after seeing the face, i pretend that the purple lines under the “eyes” are the real eyes, and the “eyes” are eyebrows or smth idfk
That's kind of cute honestly. Kind of perpetually squinting.
Lol
Hmmmmm… why am i in this shitty show?- beast machines cheetor
Also bro the algorithm REALLY likes ur vids i watched one or two and oop my entire feed is FIRST: YOUR LIKES
In short, it's basic, but besides the stupid articulation limiting pegs, it's good enought as an modern BM Cheetor. Heck, If I ever get one , I may try repaint him in to one of his variant's, or in to Beast Pretender Catilla. Either way, I'm interested in getting him when avaible.
As for the question of the video...
If you had to pick what new Legacy BM figure would be next, who would you pick and why ?
Obsidian. I pick him, because the options are him Jetstorm, or Strika for me, Strika I'd want to be the IDW version, and Jetstrom I figure may get a figure on his own eventually, as he's the most popular of the Vehicon Generals.
Obsidian, is awesome, and his incarnation in the show looks good already, so he doesn't need a revamp like Strika.
Primal becoming a religious zealot in Beast Machines was not on my bingo card but if it comes down to being techno organic or having your spark locked away for the rest of time unless you're one of the lucky few who Megatron pulls out to have your entire identity erased and overwritten to be a mindless servant I think my choice would be clear. Megatron.
Fun fact, Garry Chalk, VA of Primal, was mad that Primal was relegated to be that.
Agreed, at least you aren't serving some Religious Zealot. Just ego maniac. And you don't have a vat of toxic waste dumped on you.
great video
Thank you so much!
Saw this at my local target with the Tigerhawk, TFA BB and Lego Optimus. But IDC not just because it's Beast machines but because it's a core class, the only time I'd have a core class is if my mother would get it for me
cheetors face looks like hes been through hell and back like twice
You're damn right it does.
1:21 this reminds me of an incident were this person would harass people non stop (including me) because they didn’t like beast machines
I don’t like beast machines (I actually hate it a bit) but I wouldn’t harrass people who liked the show
Maybe it was the same person
I guess I was right they were the same person
Oh I know her
Human Girl is her username
@@davifariatertuliano yes that’s the one
If you don’t like beast machines she will harrass and argue with you over it
Like she hasn’t heard of opinions
@@michelcoolguy1701 yeah pretty annoying
I mean I can understand defending a thing you like, but nobody doesn't, but what she does is straight up childish
@@davifariatertuliano exactly she has a huge tantrum when someone says they dont like beast machines
Even if you try and say it in the most wholesome way possible
Yeah you both know for sure who I am talking about.
this year my main goal is to get more beast wars stuff, but if i for some reason get this thing i'm taking the robot head off and throwing it in a tub and leaving it in cat mode
ima release the demon, Beast machines should never have existed and should have shown the events of after beast wars
I'm happy that this is a thing, because if we're lucky that means we're getting the badass Vehicons in CHUG. I'd love a new Beast Machines Jetstorm.
I would be thrilled to get a Jetstorm and Obsidian, though I'd want Strika to be the IDW version.
Hopes designer's will make vehicons. They all was cool (except Strika)
I liked Strika, though her design was kind of really bad back in Beast Machines. They've improved on it since.
I'll go to bat for Beast Machines a little bit. It's a fucking mess and a truly disappointing follow-up to Beast Wars but it does have a few interesting ideas.
I mean you can say that about almost all ideas. All ideas can be interesting, if they are done well.
@@PerspectiveEnd Specific to it I mean. Like I don't agree with Megatron suddenly hating his beast form or with Optimus going all in on the whole "make everything organic" thing but they are interesting concepts for the show to explore. Still a damn disgrace of a show but I don't think it's neccesarily the worst thing to ever come out of the franchise.
I found myself really liking this figure, definitely gonna be a deskbot in the near future
Never thought I’d think that the McDonald’s toy looks better
To me it doesn't look better, just the same.
I really like beast machines, always have
That's fine. Don't let me convince you to stop liking it.
@@PerspectiveEnd hot take, but i think its vastly better then the whole cybertron trilogy
I now am going to give cheetor a bow
So I'm gonna be honest with you, I like Beast Machines. A lot. By the time Prime came out, I'd already gone back to it and was able to appreciate what it had to offer and I already did like some of the toys. That said, this looks as bad as Energon Megatron, did since reveals and you said exactly my thoughts, Happy Meal Toy. Hasbro has done better for cheaper for both these guys. If anything, both feel like a conscience effort to get people to not ask for more.
That said, I'd actually recommend a lot of the figures from the first year designed before the show. Obsidian, Tankor, Jetstorm and Thrust were great for their era. I'd even stand up for Black Arachnia, Optimus Primal and Night Viper. Basically every toy up to and including the August 2000 waves have a lot more going for them and not looking like the show helps.
Honestly it's Happy Mealness is quaint to me, so while I recognize it's not really worth the money, I find it kind of charming for it.
I have an Obsidian, and I really like that thing.
@@PerspectiveEnd if you like more interesting toys full of character like I do, get Thrust and Jetstorm or its repaint as Sonic Jet or Storm Jet. They are great toys. I'd say Skywarp, but probably not worth the premium price lol
