Beast Wars is my GOAT Transformer series. I figured it was nostalgia, but I rewatched during the pandemic and it honestly held up better than I remember. Even the weird early digital animation is impressive in context. So many interesting characters and motivations, too. And the sweetest extra on top is Megatron’s dialogue. Yeeeeess!

I prefer 2 to 1, primarily because the choices are not as blatantly good/evil and it feels like they have more impact. I also think the character creation and items are more fleshed out. Just a shame it didn’t get the polish it deserved at launch. 1 definitely feels more “Star Wars”-y, though.

Shelton Benjamin and Lashley are both free agents right now. Not to mention Hobbes would be a great addition.

Between this report and him trying to claim the series got confused about kayfabe yesterday, it’s gotta get nasty. I’ve already read a lot from various books, so I’m curious how much new info they have.

Holy shit

“I’ll take “Least Surprising Revelations” for $1000, Alex.” Can’t imagine what was being piped directly into his ears for years.

The pop would be earth-shattering. And damn, have I missed her music.

If that’s how he feels, glad for him. It is true in a lot of respects. I think my view is that they pushed an unpopular star, but then refused to give him the tools to increase his popularity. Disappointing, boring matches, bland foreign heel gimmick. Just cheap heat that went nowhere. In short, the same problem with a lot of Vince’s WWE: settling for fine and appeasing Vince when they could’ve tried something new and it could’ve been great.

That’s a bummer. He was going wild and I think he added a lot to the match. Hopefully it is minor and he just needs a bit of time

My first was a Rattata from bootleg pack since Grandma didn’t know better. Favorite was a foil Kabutops in Japanese.
