Robert Buckley - Beast Machines

Beast machines soundtrack

[@nx9100]

People complain about Beast Machines story and animation....but you can't fault it's music.

[@blinscourget]

It's my favorite Transformers animated series. Me to sad...This animated series stands out, it is more than just a fight between the two sides.

[@zendigimoni9739]

understand you bro, there is so much unfair and doubtable hate which can be contra-argumented, but there is no any other TF with such terrifying Megatron, he's really menacing in his actions and desires. No any other show with such dark atmosphere and character development, no other show which can show Cybertron like it's depicted here. Only few plot holes, Its like good techno-dark-fantasy but not a cartoon for kids, i think it was just ahead its time so fans complained about designs and Megatron's character.

Megatron: "I gave you strength. I gave you Power. I gave you purpose. I gave you LIFE!" Silverbolt: *"You. Gave me NOTHING!"*

[@Rezawatchvideo]

I dig the 90's rave of this song, so nostalgic but still a heavy banger

[@TromboneConductor767]

Right? It still slaps.

[@TromboneConductor767]

In every single imaginable way, Beast Machines pushed the envelope further than ever for transformers. People are turned off by the designs but for the first time it felt like we were watching a truly alien race. I for one was glad to see what Cybertron looked like, and what native Cybertronian vehicle modes would look like. And honestly I like most of the maximal designs. My only wish was that they incorporated some of the iconography of their original robot heads. Like Primal and Cheetor’s head crest, rattraps brain or teeth, and Blackarachnia’s head piece.

[@emeraldphoenix5868]

This Synth Techo Music fits the Transformers Franchise as a whole.

[@eu29lex16]

This series was the best, it was soo damn neat with all those organic-beast modes and it had a damn gothic'dark style. Beast wars and beast machines was one of the only ones I could take seriously. They appeared more grounded in reality.

[@TromboneConductor767]

Yeah it was the only transformers show that never felt silly. Really quite serious, and the humour when there was any came mostly from the character interactions, and a lot less looney toons style humour that beast wars and other transformers had.

[@Alison-bn8vi]

1:55 accompanied by this music I am thoroughly convinced that Megatron was the good guy and only wanted to stop the oracle because he was the only one who truly knew what it really was, the designs by themselves justify Megatron's actions but after seeing what they look like without their skin or exo skeleton, I think Megatron was right, he didn't capture the sparks for power, he captured them so he could protect them from the oracle, he suddenly hated his beast mode because it made him vulnerable to the oracle, he lied about his evil intentions in fear of the oracle reformatting him and seeing him as a direct threat

[@RHR199X]

You know that’s actually a fairly reasonable logic. When the maximals became too close to their goals I guess I can see why he chose to absorb them all into his at the very end.

1:56 Look at Blackarachnia. Imagine if they did a show where they morphed from beast to human, but the human retained some beast genes, it could look like that. Could take place on Earth with regular humans. Then there could be four Scott McNeils doing live action. Rat McNeil, Raptor McNeil, Wasp McNeil, and Wolf-Eagle McNeil. Like Anamorphs, but it doesn't suck.

[@KylanHarv]

[@kenistheticzero3612]

Beast Machines is a really a well-made series, the storyline of Cybertron having a second coming of Organic life and the Maximals representing a balance of technology and organics, and the vehicons which is actually a play on the evil Autobots . When you think about it, it is ironic, transformers was all about AI and the future wanting to take over earth, and in the end, organic life became the only refuge for all Cybertronians!

You have to admit it's a very weird series. It's not necessarily that enjoyable but it's not for lack of trying. They swung for the fences, but their bat was what ended up going flying, while the ball rocketed straight up, downed a passing plane and fell neatly into the outfielder's hand. Very impressive, but not, strictly speaking, what anyone wanted.

Ótimo personagens, meus preferidos o morcego, chitara ou e gurila e botana, nesse, mas tem beast wars primeira versão, anime neon e o super life form, filme com vários grupos e tipos de robôs para ser unido e explorado em um único novo desenho de beast wars ou machine, em games jogos quem sabe não só em 3d mas como street of rage 4 , herc ' s adventure beat em up action adventure, side scrollin ou plataforma, tactics e até corrida e luta como street fighter ou raibown six, counter striker e etc. Tem animais como cobra, coelho lebre, águia, polvo, cavalo, elefante, touro, sapo, rinoceronte, tritão etc, o que acho que pode ser bom, explorar tudo junto em uma nova animação ou e jogo, mais um fã esperando sempre por mais, brasil.
