Summary: Maximize! Terrorize!
Review: Even though I love the original Transformers the best, I liked this series mostly because of the voice actors and I was very disappointed that there were no interviews with the actors, which is why the lower rating!! Or at least have a behind the scenes look at how the series was made!! Other than my disappointment with the extras, it's nice to have the series on Dvd. Hopefully Beast Machines will be released in the futre as well.

Summary: Where it all begins...
Review: Finally finally finally, someone listens to our begs and pleas to bring this great series to DVD. Rhino, I applaud you. Obviously this is the longest collection of all three seasons, and this is the root for the much more exciting and plot twisted second & third seasons.Every episode is well crafted, wasn't bored with anyone of them. My favorite Cybertronian of course, is Optimus Primal. I just wish he would have used his power to its full potential like he did in "Gorilla Warfare". Which was one of my favorites episodes from the first season. If you loved Transformers from the past, then you gotta get this and see what their descendents have started. Get this right away!!

Summary: Can't believe its back!!!!
Review: Haven't seen this show for like 7 years now. I used to watch this show every moring before school. Long-story-short; The Maximals and Decepticons crash land on Earth millions of years in the past. They take on the forms of animals to protect their robot bodies from a dangerous fuel source called energon. What follow are the battles of good and evil, smart and dumb, bla bla bla. Great plot points and changes. Surprises at every turn. Great show. Highly recommended if you don't mind the 90's CG editing. Seasons 2 and 3 show much better CG. Good for transformers fans/kids alike.

Summary: Great for adults and kids alike
Review: I grew up watching G1 and i had many of the original toys. Now that Im 22 I know the cartoon was just a glorified comercial to sell the toys. Don't get my wrong i still loved them and own the new boxed sets and enjoyed watching every moment of them. Well when Beast Wars came out when I was in high school I started watching it not really expecting much, But to my suprise the Computer animation was beautiful and the stories were great. I mean with the noble Primal, the wise guy Rattrap, the brash young Cheetor, the wise Rhinox and a confused warrior Dinobot, all well written charaters I loved them all, along with a few others that show up thought out season 1. the Show only got better with the age as season 2 introduced the transmetals and fuzors. the only thing i disliked about the whole run was how they ended it with season 3. it seems too rushed as they tried to tie up all ther loose ends(Tigerhawk is one example)... If you like Adventure, great characters, good stories and amazing animation you need this box set. You dont need to be a fan of transformers to jump into this show and enjoy every minute of it. I own this set and cannot wait for them to realease season 2 and 3. This is hands down the best show that ever represented Transformers

Summary: The Greatest Transformers Series Period
Review: I know what many would say and that'd be that G1 was the greatest. But this generation was even better than it's predessor. It was after all Beast Wars that saved the Transformers from simply fading away as a memory. It's more complex story and smaller cast than G1 gave the characters here more personality and more time for the audience to really get to know them. The level of stoy telling for this generation was the best of all Transformers series and is much more satisfying to both kids and adults than such current series like "Armada". Simply put it's the best.

Summary: Watch "The Low Road", it'll have you laughing hysterically!!
Review: I was a huge fan of the Beast Wars back in late 1996/early 1997. The first season in my view was by far the best one of the three seasons, mainly because it's episodes were packed with mega-explosions and hilarious jokes. The explosions in the episodes were frequently massive planet shacking blasts that consisted of upto 4 or 5 tremendous explosions one after the other. Man when an energon crystal explodes, YOU BETTER BE READY TO RUN LIKE HECK!!
Like I mentioned above, many of the episodes also contained hysterical jokes. One episode in particular had me cracking up hysterically when I first watched it back in Febuary of '97. The episode titled "The Low Road" was by far the funniest episode of the entire season...NO THE ENTIRE SERIES!!!!! Prior to that episode, I had never laughed so hard... or so much... AT ONE EPISODE! I don't mean to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but towards the end of the episode there is a scene where Rhinox blows a fart. As if just having Rhinox blow a fart wasn't funny enough on it's own, the producers added two facters to top it all off.
1) Rhinox lets the fart go in Megatron's face (litterally)!
2) The fart is so huge that it is visible from outer space!
And as if that isn't enough, Megatron realizes that Rhinox is going to blow a fart, right at the very last second before it happens. One final note, in "The Low Road" the episode's final scene starts with a close up view of Megatron's face, then the camera zooms out to show that he and the rest of the Predicons are hanging upside-down from the branches of a dead tree. As the Camera zooms out Megatron says something. I will not reveal what he says (don't want to spoil it for you), but pay close attention to his comment. If the rest of the episode didn't get you cracking up, Megatron's comment certainly will!!

Summary: Beast Wars comes to Full Season sets
Review: It's about time that this show was put on season sets instead of those volumes with only six episodes each. Anyway this series is a followup to G1 Transformers from the 1980's and takes place approximately three centuries later. I first heard of this show back in 1998 when I was fifteen, I watched one episode and was hooked. Even now that I'm almost twenty this show still holds the same effect for me as it did then. I recorded 46 out of 52 total episodes off of TV, but now that they're on DVD I can get rid of my six year old videos with their horrible sound and picture. The picture quality is fantastic, especially compared to broadcast quality, the 5.1 sound is great too, like during the battle sequences. As far as the stories go they're great with only a few exceptions. IMHO every episode is worth watching however some are marred by too much slap-stick comedy, but oh well. This season is mostly more light hearted then the second season, "Code Of Hero" would be a good example of the darker 2nd season episodes. This season establishes the beginnings of the alien story arc which culminates in the second and third seasons. There are numerous references to the 1980's transformers series starting in the first episode, one G1 character makes an actual appearance in the episode "Possession". There isn't much in the way of special features there are two interviews with Larry DiTillo and Bob Forward. But I could care less. Having this great series on DVD brings back all those great memories. Definately worth buying. I look forward to the second and third seasons coming out as well as Beast Machines.

Summary: Can't wait for the next season!
Review: It's about time the TV series came out in a complete edition. Beast Wars is a fantastic CG journey through the transformer world. I have waited a long time to see the complete collection of early episodes and look forward to the remaining seasons. This is a great video product for anyone who is a fanatic of Cinema Graphics. The creators have done well I hope in the future we'll see more of these kind of videos.

Summary: Problem with DD 5.1 sound on Disc 1?
Review: Just a quick technical issue resolution before I head off for tax class. For those that bought this set during its first printing, you may notice that the DD 5.1 Surround track on Ep. 1 "Beast Wars, part 1" and Ep. 5 "Chain of Command", all on Disc 1 have snaps and popping noises through-out them. Well, Rhino Customer Service is aware (through me, actually) of this apparent release-wide problem and will sometime in the near future print up and offer fixed replacement discs. All one needs to do is to contact Rhino's customer service rep, Mack Dunlop at 1-800-546-3670, and he'll put you on a list to call when they're ready to ship the replacements. On a side note, I have asked him when he expects Season 2 & 3 to be released and currently it's not on their production schedule, but he expects that maybe by Summer 2004.
