Live Action Beast Wars, and Transformers Prime Unit E - with Rik Alvarez

Former Transformers Creative Manager Rik Alvarez shares more behind the scenes information from his days at Hasbro discussing Live-Action Beast Wars and Unit E.

Watching this videos again a year later, because some of the things he said have been shown in the Visual history book, like a Unit-E poster and TLK Cheetor concept art.

The image of decompose in something in candyland is goofy

This is the line up for the Star Seekers I'd have gone with: Thundertron, Cannonball, Axor, Brimstone, Sky Byte, Octopunch, Flamewar & Nautilator. Instead of Vehicons they'd have an army of parrot headed drones reusing Cliffjumper's CG model. :P

An army of Seacon or Sharkticon like Droens would be cool for the Star Seekers.

Well this was a lovely little chat. I came here for the author of the unofficial guide to Transformers.. and got some cool stories! Cheers!

Maybe Hasbro should get someone like me to make a shared universe roadmap for their Hasbro Cinematic Universe. I already built one for fun months ago. Though I lost it, maybe I should make another for fun again. Also about what was said about the original concept for live action beast wars. One thing I will always believe and that is Optimus Primal and Optimus Prime should always be different characters. Same with both Megatrons. That is my thoughts.

I wanna see your roadmap. I'm sure it’d be fun.

Ricky was the right guy to have continued the franchise after Bay ,but Thanks Paramoun / Hasbro for bring Michael bay back😞

Is Rik okay when he was there? It seemed he was out of breath, heavy breathing. He looked exhausted after answering each question. You can hear the loud exhale every time he pauses. Also if speaking in public he should know the proper Etiquette and not Exhale every last breath he has into the Microphone.
