Summary: Not bad at all....
Review: My friend got me interested in Beast Wars in 1998, two years after it's
debut and I have loved it since. I don't care what anyone says about it
Beast Wars has to be the best Transformers series ever! If you still pefer
the original series you have to check out the episode Possetion! Now to
get to the main aspects of the DVD. There are 26 episodes on this DVD.
The special features include about ten minute interviews with the series two
main writers Larry DiTillio and Bob Forward. I highly recomend this to any
transformer fan!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Let the Beast Wars begin!
Review: One of my favorite series to watch when I was younger, I was very pleased to see it come out on DVD. The first season is even better then I remember with a great combination of character development, humor, and action. The voice acting and visual presentation is great, though a bit rocky from the start. Beast Wars had a lot of firsts in the world of animation so one could only expect a few problems, though there aren't any by the end of this season.

On the episodes contained in this box set you get to see how it all started. You get to see each and every character's personality change as rivalries evolve and the plot twists more and more. Memmorable episodes include Rhynox nearly destroying the Predacons when he was turned into one, Dinobot's duel with Optimus Primal, the return of Starscream (my favorite G1 character), and what the thrilling finale where the transformers dealt with the wrath of the alien beings that haunted the back of their minds.

All this greatness and there are still two more seasons worth. Getting this box set is worth being a good introduction to the series and it's characters if nothing else and is a must to complete the collection. The only part I consider myself a bit of a downside is that it was made by people that hated transformers themselves. If it was that good by people who hated what it was based off, imagine how good it could've been had people who actually liked the franchise created it!

Summary: Beast Wars, better than G1
Review: The DVD set of the first season of beast wars is INCREDIBLE,you will not be dissapointed. This may not be liked as well for strict G1 fans, because Optimus Prime and some of the other G1 Characters are not involved until season 2, with the exception of Starscream, which appears in "Posession". Instead of Prime and Megtaron, Beast Wars is a story years in the future, way past Optimus Prime's time. The Autobots, now Maximals, and the Decepticons, now Predacons have new leaders, Optimus Primal, a decendent of Optimus Prime, and Megatron, a decendent of the Original Megatron. BW is an incredible series and the characters, story and emotion IS MUCH better(in my opinion) than G1. Bob Forward and Larry Ditillo outdid themselves on writing these stories. Great Stuff! A+++++

Summary: beast wars excellent pick for all fans
Review: this collect is the best, more superior than the original because of the dialogue, the transforming in 3d, and then for future ones to be released, just the way they alwasy intrepeted the old transforming into everything they do in the beast wars.
i always wanted to see a cartoon series with these bots in 3d. at first i did not like the fact that they brought them back as animals but in the end it worked out for the better. so pick this up and you will be satisfied. oh yeah and by the way this was done in the mid 90's so the animation isn't all that but it gets better as the series goes on, just watch and see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BW Complete First Season Rocks
Review: This dvd will surely keep you entertained for hours! I liked the fact that i could watch all of the episodes at one time without waiting a week before the next episode. The dvd has no errors, runs smooth,and has two interviews with the writers. The only part that could get annoying is that the original intro and ending credits appear at the beginning and end of each episode. But that can be easily overlooked if you use ff on ur remote. All in all this is a great dvd. Wish it had more special features but hey, the episodes alone contain at least 12 hours of entertainment BLI$$. May the Beast Wars live on!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Series for Adults or Kids
Review: This is easily one of my favorites TV shows ever.
This is a really well written series, with a great ongoing sci-fi plot and enjoyable characters.
The voice actors are superb!!! The 3D animation is great and always improving.

The only dissapointed are the few extras (only 2 interviews with the writers) and interview with voice actors from a different transformers cartoon series (I don't know how this fits on this DVD set.)

Give this DVD a shot, it is NOT a dumbed down cartoon for kids!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally! Beast Wars: Transformers on DVD!
Review: This is my favorite of all the Transformer incarnations because there was comedy, action, and drama. The characters were very relatable and they grew on you. Even though not all the toys created for the series made it on the show because it was done in CGI, it made for more character depth for the ones that did make it. Possibly the best Transformers story out there!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Can't Believe I Missed it the First Time
Review: When Beast Wars first came out, I was in middle school and at the wonderful age where I had judged myself too old for such things as "Beast Wars" and "Transformers." So I missed out on perhaps one of the best science fiction shows of the 90s.

About the 11th grade, I determined I didn't give a rip if anybody cared if I still liked Transformers, but by that time, Beast Wars was gone, and had been replaced with the questionable Beast Machines. I read up on the Beast Wars, though, intrigued by what I had missed.

So when Rhino released the first season, I bought it as soon as I could find a copy. I was not disappointed.

The episodes are all well-made, and the story writing is also well done (except for the episode "The Low Road;" ugh.) My personal favorite episode is "Possession" which features the return of original Transformers character, Starscream! Another top-notch episode is "Law of the Jungle," which has a surprisingly mature look at death, sacrifice, duty, and honor.

Basically, everybody in the family can enjoy "Beast Wars"--there's enough technobabble for hardcore Sci-fi fans, humor for the kids, and plenty of action and adventure throughout.

Rating: 3 stars
