5.0 out of 5 stars "The Beast Wars are over Optimus! You loose.", 4 May 2007

By	Simon Hall (Shipley, West Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Orignally airing in late '96 to early '97 in the States, Beast Wars really shifts into overdrive in its second series.

I remember what a fractured viewing experience this was here in the UK, as GMTV broke the series up to tie in with school holidays, and like with the original series before it, it was bookended by introductions by some day-glo clad oaf (in this case Mr Motavator).

What is immediately apparent in the second series is how improved the animation (which was already stunning to begin with) is, and how much there is going on.This series was clearly really well developed and Larry Ditillo and Bob Forward do an execptional job of making this more than your standard kiddie-fare by introducing some strong sci-fi themes and character development, punchy dialogue and manage to tie the series firmly into the established Transformers mythos.

To me, Beast Wars has the same feel to it as the new re-vamped Doctor Who - enough to be familar to the original Transformers and a scope and feel that allows new viewers to come into the franchise without feeling they have to know anything about Transformers.I did get a bit of a tingle where in just one sentence,they tie together some of the disparate elements of previous Transformers incarnations by having Rhinox say "Primus help us all"!

The series gets off to a strong start with the introduction of the Transmetals and Fuzors,and although this is little more than glorified toy advertising you can't help but be amazed by the panache with which its carried off(The use of a quantum surge which mutates the bodies of those Transformers not in Stasis and the failure of dna replicators in creating alternative modes - and this is a kids show?!).

A real highlight of the series is standout episode 'Code Of Hero',which showcases the final fate of Dinobot.Having contemplated suicide at the start of the episode and struggling to fully reconcile himself with the Maximals,Dinobot takes matters into his own hands and goes after Megatron.Its an exceptionally well written piece and very moving (it brought a lump to my throat at the time and its impact is not diminshed on repeated viewings).

The series shifts down a gear after that with the throwaway 'Transmutate',but then the bar is raised again for the closing trilogy of episodes 'The Agenda' in which Megatron's true plan is revealed and contact with Cybertron is made in the form of the Tripredacus Agent Ravage (the original - who makes the cool transforming noise from the original '80s cartoon!). Don Kaye puts in an amazing performance as Megatron,especially when he comes to the point of exacting his final devastating act against "...those who made us slaves!"

What impresseses about Beast Wars is that it manages to do what most television shows would drag out over a number of episodes with a bucketload of ideas, imagination,economy of script and strong chracterisation.The voice casting is superb,the characters are fully fleshed out and have their own motivations,desires and personalities - an extremely rare thing in most modern children's television.And most importantly, it never patronises its audience!

I highly recommend this show to anyone, it really is fantastic. The only let down with the DVD release is the lack of any major extras beyond some rough animatics - it would have been nice to have some cast and crew commentaries which would have been the icing on the (very rich) cake.

Interestingly,the series itself was quite devisive in the world of Transformers fans.I have to say (and this may get me lynched) I actually prefer this over the scared Generation One cartoons of the 1980s...
