Beast Wars - Transformers (Vol. 2) Reviews
Skip It
"Beast Wars: Transformers" is pretty good 1990s take on the Transformers story. It's set in a new Transformers universe filled with new characters and new adventures. This DVD isn't worth buying, though. Save your money and buy the boxed sets, which include these same episodes and a lot more, instead.
It's the brutality of it all.
I first caught the Beast Wars in syndication back in '99. As a 25 year old at the time and remembering the G1 Transformer series of the '80s, I couldn't help but be interested in this new CGI version. But I noticed one thing was different. The exotic location (prehistoric Earth) and the brutality of the fights between the Maximals and the Predacons. Another thing was the awesome CGI special effects that were used to show the fights and other elements of the show. No more were the explosions the hand drawn red and orange clouds of opaqueness. These were some really true looking effects. And while using energy weapons, it made it all the more real looking.
Now then, the first season wasn't considered to be the best of the 3 season series, but there were some really great episodes in that one. This DVD will have six episodes on it including:
#7 Fallen Comrades
Optimus takes a bad hit in a fight with the Predacons, and has to heal in the CR Chamber, while a stasis pod crashes in the mountains, leaving Dinobot to take care of Optimus while the others go to secure the Maximal protoform. The Predacons are also on top of the stasis pod, and hope to reprogram the protoform inside into a Predacon. This episode sees the emergence of the two Maximals, Airazor and Tigertron.
#8 Double Jeapordy
The Maximals are ambushed inside a box canyon, and lose a stasis pod to the Predacons. When Optimus gets back to base, he accuses a Maximal of setting them up, and Rattrap is the most likely suspect, so he sends the small Maximal on a mission in Predacon territory. Terrorsaur catches Rattrap, and the mouse pledges his loyalty to the Predacons. This episode sees the emergence of the Predacon Blackarachnia.
#9 The Probe
Cybertron sends a probe out to search for the Maximal explorers who have gone missing since their encounter with Megatron. The probe enters Earth's airspace, and if Rhinox can make contact with it in time, everyone's going home, but Megatron wants to make sure the war ends when he says so.
#10 Gorilla Warfare
Scorponok hits Optimus with a special Cyber-bee, and it turns him into a war-hungry monster. He fights against his friends, and travels to tear the Predacons apart single-handedly. Cheetor doesn't want to see Optimus get hurt, so he makes a deal with Megatron in order to obtain the anti-virus.
#11 A Better Mouse Trap
The Predacons set up Blackarachnia's new weapon, so they can break into the Maximal base. Meanwhile, inside the base, Rhinox creates a new security program called Sentinel for the ship, but Rattrap and Dinobot's antics turns Sentinel against the Maximals, leaving escaping the ship as their only option, but Rattrap is determined to make up for his mistake, and stays behind. This one was one of my favorites.
#12 Victory
The Maximals install a spy cable in the Predacon base, and they watch as his forces turn against him, and hit some Energon, blowing the base up. The Maximals take their opportunity, and travel to the Predacon base to take spare parts, and use them to get their ship to fly once more. Every Maximal is raring to go, except Dinobot, who decides to stay behind.
So expect 2 more discs to complete Season 1 and then 2 each for Seasons 2 & 3.
The above synopsises were taken from Piccolo's Place of animated show information.
