[@jasonlumpkin4732]

"Beast Wars" was Hasbro's last gamble to resuscitate "Transformers" which proved successful after nearly a decade of decline. The 3 key factors were it's character development, it's soundtrack, & eventually improved animation quality which surpassed many computer animated shows at the time. The sequel series "Beast Machines" was where the shark was jumped & killed the "Beast Series."

[@Rocket1377]

That's because Hasbro ended Beast Wars prematurely, rushed the ending, and didn't bring the writers back. One of the worst decisions they have ever made.

[@WatchMojo]

Some good points, but not all bad since then!

[@mikegomintong8856]

"Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest is silence." - Dinobot ...

[@BroAnarchy]

He lived a warrior... and died a Hero. sorry.... Couldn't help myself. Such a great scene!

[@obsessivefanboy7]

The fact that you excluded Cheetor and his maturity character development throughout Beast Wars & Beast Machines is criminally Prime.

Dinobot’s sacrifice in Beast Wars made me bawl my eyes out the first time I saw it. He truly died a heroes death

Same, and yes, he definitely died a heroes death.

It wasn't until a couple years back when I watched that episode and realized it started with him contemplating taking his own life, unsure of where he fit in the world. It's an incredible example of story telling.

[@travisc7722]

Man Megatrons speech when he blasts Autobot Optimus is STILL one of my all time favorite villain speeches and epic moments

I never saw the classic transformers growing up... I did watch Beast Wars. Silverbolt will always be my fave.

[@markcastellanet9672]

That's sad you weren't exposed to the awesomeness that was grimlock

[@cledgefenrir5681]

I grew up with BW and had brothers that grew up on G1. One of my brothers didn't quite understand why Tarantulas tried to blow up the Ark at one point, saying that would've killed the spider himself. Then I pointed out to my brother there was a G1 character that was purple, scientist, one yellow eye; and my brother's eyes widen apon realization

[@TheMusrich888]

Funny that they don't mention that one time that Waspinator was possessed by Starscream.

[@M_D93]

Beast Wars was my childhood. I can’t wait for Rise of the Beasts.

[@nicholaswhiteway8733]

I hadn’t no doubt who would take the top spot, he die a warrior but lives on as a legend

[@VictorPerez-lx9tf]

Yup, like Optimus said, he lives a warrior but die a hero.

[@Rako_the_Awesome]

Cheetor deserved a spot on this list. He may not have been a huge player in the entire story but his maturation story that was constantly in the background (especially in Beast Machines) was a memorable one. Plus he was the yellow kid appeal character and that deserves one automatically.

[@dollabillah3404]

Absolute facts. Beast Wars was huge on character development and Cheetor was the character who developed the most between Beast Wars and Beast Machines. Always had a cool design too. Him being excluded from the list is wild. Or as Cheetor would say himself, “it’s a crime”.

[@RaguORagla]

Grimlock is the best Transformers character. Loved him and his group the second I saw them for the first time. Then again, I do love dinosarus so there's that. So an awesome group no matter the continuity!

[@Ashstar4]

Fun fact Hasbro originally chose Waspinator to die at the beginning of season 2 to make way for new characters but story editors Bob Forward and Larry DiTillo convinced them to spare Waspinator because of how popular he was so Terrorsaur was chosen instead to die along side Scorponok. Also Silverbolt should have had an honorable mention.

[@mikeydavid4500]

I loved Dinobot as a kid, I was really upset when he died in the cartoon, but it was good to that Dinobot made number one, honestly I'm still kind of mad that we have no evidence on if Dinobot will be in ROTB

The return of Optimus Primal was my favorite scene of the beast war. Waspinator was one of my favorite Predacon and it's so stupid how he get back in Cybertron during Beast Machine.

[@ericbreese3071]

Glad to see your number 1 pick, although others were mismatched in their rankings (Rhinox, Cheetor)

[@punkmaster258]

Other honorable mentions (most of them were from Beast Wars II & Neo anime): - Lio Convoy/Leo Prime - instead of Optimus Primal, Lio Convoy was the leader of the Maximals in the anime. - Lio Junior - Lio Convoy's "Junior Companion" & "Sidekick" ala Batman to Robin. - Skywarp - an eagle Maximal - Santon - and elephant maximal. - Magnaboss - a combiner transformer consist of Lio Junior as the head, Shywarp as the rear wings and Santon as the main body. * basically all of Maximals and Predacons in the show.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

Just in case anyone needed a reminder how far ahead Beast Wars was ahead of its time in terms of character-building. No one is a 'flat character'. Everyone has an entertaining personality and quirks (okay Quickstrike and Terrorsaur are kind of one-note but still entertaining). Like Silverbolt, a Paladin eagle/wolf bot based on the 60s Adam West Batman. Without his tireless belief and love, Black Arachnia may never have been redeemed.

[@aztecarey185channel8]

When I first saw Beast Wars, I immediately become interested in Dinobot then absolutely become my favorite transformer in all franchise. Dinobot made the series so interesting, and I wanted see him more! To the point I actually idolize Dinobot, always carried his belief in honor and always honest who he truly is. It's no surprise he's number one in this list!!! I really hope to see Dinobot in the movie rise of the beast or if by chance have Dinobot stand alone movie Dinobot, Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rampage was definitely my favorite character in beast wars, a very horrible nightmare created by the so-called higher-ups. In cybertron, a perfect combination of Frankenstein and Jason Voorhees. It is truly a living nightmare, indeed. Hope that they'll bring him back. In the movie and toys again.

[@snowstorm209]

The fact that Beast Wars is still not on BluRay is a crime

[@Trailbreaker3966]

I’m surprised Tigertron lazerbeak and kickback didn’t make the list. Leobreaker (Trailbreaker’s animal Equivalent in transformers Cybertron) should have also made the list in my opinion but I’m not surprised he didn’t.

[@guswalsh1299]

Dinobot the one transformer who fought as a true warrior and died as a hero for the entire galaxy and for Cybertron.

[@geviesanta3631]

Hey yo, imagine if Andy Serkis was casted to voice Grimlock in one of the upcoming Transformers movies. He has been known to do both motion capture and voice acting roles before he transitioned into appearing in more live action projects. Tbh, that would be kinda strange, but that would also be really cool.

[@gilbertosanchez2048]

Well michael bay fu**ed up on his last 2 transformers films by not giving the dinobots voices like in G1, imagine what could've been the dialogue between optimus and grimlock...i think serkis would've been a solid choice

[@geviesanta3631]

@Gilberto Sanchez Ikr, like seriously, there are a number of missed opportunities that Michael Bay completely glossed over with the last movies, especially with at least giving the dinobots voice roles.

[@javiersantanaaviles5885]

9:54 Unlike Starscream treachery, Tarantulas did achieve something important

[@Torraduke]

Okay Cheetor is only an honorable mention?

[@alexkobs9313]

Yeah, I thought he would be number one on this list too.

[@georgemercer402]

He donated parts for Air Razor while Rattrap most likely would've been forced to; plus, Cheetor put 2 preds out of commission before being flanked.

Great list. It is nice to see one for Beast Wars. Rhinox is one of my favourite Beast Transformers, and I feel bad sometimes he never got his own transmetal upgrade.

[@WatchMojo]

[@WhiteFangofWar]

He didn't need a Transmetal upgrade to slag Predacon butt, even fighting *Rampage* to a draw once. Though he prefers lab work.

[@MarcusSLazarus]

Generally a good breakdown, but some areas could have been more explored; the tragedy of Rhinox's fall from grace in "Beast Machines" (although I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks he was just a victim of Megatron's reprogramming rather than him outright defecting on his own) or Cheetor's character arc from eager rookie at the start of "Beast Wars" to becoming second-in-command in "Beast Machines", as an example

[@KigaiOkasu]

You know, after that one time he tried to turn Rhinox into a Predacon and got the closest to overthrowing him, you'd think he'd know better than to try something like that again in Beast Machines.

[@MarcusSLazarus]

@@KigaiOkasu To be fair to him, he did make sure to program Rhinox's new body so that he couldn't attack Megatron directly; he managed to use Rhinox/Tankorr to carry out new plans he couldn't think of until he was ready to 'take over'.

OK. I'm happy for Unicron to appear in the film series, as I'm sure we all are, but there's a problem. Unicron is the biggest big bad in the entire Transformers franchise, if they make more movies after this, there is no way they can top a bigger threat than him. They should've saved him for the final film in this Beast Wars line. Plus, can someone please explain why the Predacons aren't in this movie? Where's T-Rex Megatron, Waspinator, Terrorsaur, Blackarachnia and the others? Why include the Maximals if they won't use the Predacons? And where's Rattrap, Tigertron, Depth Charge, Nightscream, Wolfang? I gotta say i'm finding this kind of stupid

[@jimmymiller1313]

This list is bonkers

[@derekberry6122]

It seems like this list is mainly characters from Beast wars. So let me actually list off some that's actually not from the series that can transform into beasts. Preda-king - transformers Prime. Created in the lab by shockwave the decepticons thought it was just a mindless beast but then it proved itself to be a highly intelligent life form. It could even take on Megatron if it fought correctly. Insecticons- bombshell, scrapnel, and kickback formed this team of insect transforming robots. First shown as a Hercules beetle, stag beetle, and a grasshopper they ranks actually increased through Time. One noticeable character from transformers Prime was hard shell that actually heavily damaged one of the Autobots though is taking out by Miko. Scorponox- various. Even the live action transformers movie the first one actually had this character but in the series he was able to transform into a robot form and G1 he was even so big that he could transform into a city. Skylinks- in g1 he was a transport shuttlecraft that could change into a pterodactyl/linx that can be separated into two different parts. Think very highly of himself though. Skull crusher- originally decepticon that became a headmaster and transforms into an alligator that rips through his adversaries. Mind Warp - another headmaster decepticon that transforms into a bat. Robots in disguise Megatron from 2000 had the ability to not only transform into two forms but had multiple forms. He can transform into a car and a jet mode but he also could transform into a horse, a dragon, a bat, and a gigantic claw. Leo convoy/leoprime. Originally in Japan but actually made its way into the IDW comics Leo Prime was able to transform into a white lion with hidden weapons. Even at a special way teamed up with Optimus primal. Trypticon - a giant decepticon that could transform into a city an attack base and a giant t-rex that later had the ability to transform into a spaceship that could devastate entire planets. Six shot- homes and one was actually a winged cat. Sky bite transformers robots in disguise 2000 Scourge- transformer Cybertron Leo breaker- transformers Cybertron Notable - Laser beak- it's kind of hard to find any versions of laser beak that fails most of the time. A loyal and capable scout for Megatron and sound wave.
