People complaining about the animation quality just don't get it. Your smartphone probably has more processing power than the computer this show was rendered on. Also, each season has significant upgrades in animation quality. S3 animation holds up extremely well. Especially the water effects. But those of us who grew up with this show? It looked great. More than that though? It was the story being told and the characters that populated the story. This is as good as Transformers ever got on TV. It mostly holds up pretty well. The story that is. Yes S1 animation looks iffy and like those animatics you see for action scenes in expensive movies...but I can look past all that no problem.
If I remember correctly these guys were also the pioneers to tv CG and went on to do some amazing CG work maybe not as a group but splitting up and moving around to different places
@@Xeno-The-Wanderer Yep Beast Wars/Reboot/followed by Short Circuitz (Jan hammer) tech demo after each show on YTV. Back in the day this stuff was crazy.
I really wish they could somehow bring back this transformers. I love the idea of a primitive earth being a battleground for the transformers and the animal transformations are just badass!
@@michaelandreipalon359 i kinda see why. He's kind of annoying and stupid but not in the funny way like Terasaur. Out of all the Predacons, he's my least favorite.
It's actually a very common thing, and Megatron has been compared to the other Purple Dinosaur since he first appeared, and people made comparisons between them.
+Megatron beast wars and the guy who plays him, Scott Mcniel (who also does Waspinator, Rattrap, and Silverbolt), is an AWESOME guy. really friendly and funny.
i remember my cousin hated the spider, and for his birthday my aunt got the spider transformer coz i told her that was his favourite. He got a a big scare when he opend it and he ddnt talk to me for like a week fukn best week of my 6yr old life
I remember when it was still on netflix. I loved this show so fucking much. I literally loved Dinobot and his character development, and Silverbolt with that one girl who I can't remember her name. Airazor was also so fucking dope. God I miss this show.
Cassius Quinn LoL this looks much better than the Nintendo 64 or any other 90s video game. It’s actually impressive for a television series at the time
It's like how when you remember yourself playing old PS2 games in the early 2000s and in your mind they always had super realistic graphics until you actually load them up again.
Still, as time goes on, you realize how people put countless days into creating something timeless, and you have fun watching the show evolve and improve over it's course
The graphics improved every season. The storyline was also amazing. considering they probably started working on the show in 1995 maybe 1994 to release it in 1996, its pretty impressive and to me it stands the test of time.
Ok, I know Megatron's form is supposed to make him look like a badass, powerful predator, but for crying out loud, with puny arms like that, he looks completely pathetic! I can't help but laugh at him when he's in Beast Mode.
In China, this series' name is 猛兽侠 which mean is Beast warriors, and has enormous fans who was born in 1990s. it's absolutely incredible, I favorite one is the rat warrior.
Its funny how a Canadian CGI-Animated spin-off show has far better story and more action than any of its predecessors and ends up becoming renown and widely accepted as Canon because you just cant throw away that awesome story line. The same guys made Reboot, and Shadow Raiders, which also had incredible storylines full of conflict and moral decisions.
One thing that would have been incredible, is if in let's say.. BeastWars, a stasis pod ends up scanning a Human Skeleton or Near Death Human, and ends up becoming a Beast Wars Transformer.. Makes me wonder what it would look like and what it's Transformation forms would be?
"For a predacon, Dinobot, you have qualities I could like." "He lived a warrior and died a hero. Let his spark join the matrix...with the greatest of Cybertron." Just one of many reasons this show was gold.

Tell em
Nah
For those who were there from the beginning to the end, Veterans of the Beast Wars.
_takes a swig for Dinobot_
Scorponok just straight up yeeted dinobot out of existence
Scorponok: alakazam alakazane! I'm sending you off this mortal plane!
Love how they all patiently waited until they all transformed
I feel like the predacons could've won at least one battle if they just shot down everyone mid transformation
“Okay guys, everyone be patient. Everyone needs their screen time.”
the soundtrack is just one guy on a guitar
And another dude on French horn
But it's an awesome theme, right?
Along with a guy with tribal drums
It's thebshit
And it's brilliant
I really wish they could somehow bring back this transformers. I love the idea of a primitive earth being a battleground for the transformers and the animal transformations are just badass!
I entertained the idea of making a Prime version of Beast Wars. Because the ending of Prime would make a great setting for a new beast wars.
+DJ Rec01 And not a modern day human in sight.
+DJ Rec01 the movies should've been based on this series
…with better cast and crew of course
Doesn't they have sort of "Animal" bots in "Robots in disguise".
@@RealSpaceChild Yep, for RID 2001, and plenty from RID 2015.
this was so epic when I was little
onxiaftw I know what you mean
So epic even now.
ballsdynamite so epic I even had a sweater of raptor
onxiaftw man
haha Doesnt the music and the sounds n their voices take you back?
The voice acting is amazing. Wazzpinator is the best.
And to think he was a hated character by both the creators and fans back in the initial days of the show...
@@michaelandreipalon359 i kinda see why. He's kind of annoying and stupid but not in the funny way like Terasaur. Out of all the Predacons, he's my least favorite.
“I prefer to beat my opponents the old-fashioned way... BRUTALLY!”
Best line.
"Optimus, what are you doing?"
"Trying no to fall to my death."
"YOU CAN FLY!"
does anyone else think megatrons beast mode looks like an actually intimidating Barny the Dinosaur?
Haha yes!
It's actually a very common thing, and Megatron has been compared to the other Purple Dinosaur since he first appeared, and people made comparisons between them.
Yeah Megs is King Barney at this point.
This is like a weird ps1 cutscene
Mossy Deer Bones much closer to a bad ps2 port
Back when we had them Saturday cartoons and cereal on deck
Harambe was putting on for his city thou
I love how Terasaur screams TERRORIIIIIZZZE!!!! sounds so metal
This was life when i was a kid. Lol. It looks so different now lol. But boy doew it take me back to them days. It's still my shit
This seems to be a magnificient series, yesss!
This brings back awesome childhood memories. I had most of the action figures of all the characters. Good times :)
Dinobot: the Transformers version of Prince Zuko
+Nick Gage HOOOONNNNNOOOORRRR!!!
More like Zuko: Avatar's version of Dinobot.
It’s so weird and awkward but so badass at the same time
This was the coolest thing in the world to me when I was a kid and it still is
I miss this show!
There's a movie coming out in cinemas next year about beast wars transformers so happy birthday 🎂
This show was way ahead of its time
Tarantulas: "I hate that rat!" LOL
Dinobot is my favorite maximal of all time 💙💙💙💙
+Megatron beast wars and the guy who plays him, Scott Mcniel (who also does Waspinator, Rattrap, and Silverbolt), is an AWESOME guy. really friendly and funny.
He’s a excellent character in the series.
Dude, bor/ho fist! *hold up my hand*
the look on dinobots face when scorponok shows up "wait wtf? noooo!"
cheetor just casually holding he's guts
Holy shit I never noticed that. His gun is made of intestines wtf
WHAT THE HELL I JUST REALISED THAT
I am fucking 32 and I still have same excitement and feeling as when I used to watch this when I was 10..
I like how they used to scream in the first episodes when they change form, like if that was hurting as heck
Their body literally changes its shape in a very short amount of time. I’d imagine that would be incredibly painful.
"Wazzzpinator under attack! Wazzzpinator engage enemy! Wazzzpinator, TERRORIZZZEZZZzzzzzzzz!"
No matter how many times I hear it, it never gets old.
I am kind of feeling strange, i remember being young and running into the sunroom to watch this show every weekend at 6am.
_Nostalgia_ thats nostalgia you're feelin
I'm remembering a line from Transformers prime..... "Do not discharge explosive weaponry in an enclosed area."
Lesson to learn, Tarantulus.
i remember my cousin hated the spider, and for his birthday my aunt got the spider transformer coz i told her that was his favourite. He got a a big scare when he opend it and he ddnt talk to me for like a week
fukn best week of my 6yr old life
Lol
Best prank ever.
haven't seen this in 15+ years!
centerrightpunk I haven't see ln this in like 9 years
5:55 It's King Kong all over again!! (If u don't get this, there is a time in the movie when King Kong separates the jaws of the T.rex)
God, this show was so trippy.
The battle between Optimass and the Dinobots is my favorite scene.
I love the little exorcist screams they make when morphing
"well that's just prime"
Man its been ages since I've watched this.
AznNavy same
Holy balls I forgot this existed. I loved this show so much...OH and the McDonald's toys were my favorite back in the day! so much nostalgia
I remember i was like 5 when this show came out, and if you would go to mcdonalds you would get them at toys in our happy meals.
Juz rhyme ikr
Of all the sounds they could’ve gave scorpinoks missiles..
this show is underrated. tfp and tfa definitely got what they deserved. this show is buried deep down, nobody knows this. like nobody.
One of my brothers remember this show.
I remember when it was still on netflix. I loved this show so fucking much. I literally loved Dinobot and his character development, and Silverbolt with that one girl who I can't remember her name. Airazor was also so fucking dope. God I miss this show.
@@sylverseraphim_47 Black Arachnia
@@jacobsands4698 Yes! She was cool, too.
Just here to enjoy the voice acting before WfC Kingdom happens.
man i freaking love this, i cant stop smiling. best memories ever.
This is the best thing to watch high this is fuvjing amazing
This use to look so much sharper
same 😂
That's why I googled this to see how it looked compared to todays CGI.. It's close to Nintendo 64 graphics. lol
And it holds up in quality content like many Nintendo 64 games too.
Cassius Quinn LoL this looks much better than the Nintendo 64 or any other 90s video game. It’s actually impressive for a television series at the time
Use to have a megatron t rex toy over 15 years ago. Just searched up the same exact toy... 500 bucks canadian now fml
childhood memory!!!
6:40 “So long, de Megatron!”

megatron you have a very inconvinient beast mode
This shit is still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2:45 just listen to that MOTHER FUCKING guitar O_O
Loved this series late nights on YTV.
Thanks for this.
2019 - still best version of transformers
well this looks lot worse then what i remember
Gustavo Almeida ikr
Then you have a poor memory.
in fact, for a kid anything is impressive. now as cgi artist i see this is shit
This looks meh
Cgi in the 90s was a rough cut
Its crazy that Waspinator never changed but still had actual character development and an arc. Most underrated transformer ever!
gah a remake would be amazing!
I forgot how kick ass the music for this series was!
you mean like this? 6:22
"HARAMBE! MAXIMIZE!"
lol nice
KrisFrosz133 best comment yet XD!
Se ganó una cerveza mi hermano

Oh my childhood. Legendary! ♥️🔥

DarkEcoMaiden What can be said?Considering that T-REX type does have a very puny arms....
Fakhrul Radzi I know. I know.
He's also a PURPLE T-Rex. Making me wonder if he scanned the bones of Barney the dinosaur.
These toys was lit
I can’t remember why I liked this
Same
Because it's dope as fuck.
Because of it’s story and it’s characters
Oh Rattrap never change my guy
8:00 Never noticed Tarantulas lost his right leg there
Man, I remember watching this early Saturday morning
Deng, its like my childhood just being flashback for awhile
7:18 me when I see an actual spider lurking from above me
Waspinator's longest and most successful battle!
this is just pure gold
this is a work of art
This look soo cool as a kid lol nice trip down memory lane
In China, this series' name is 猛兽侠 which mean is Beast warriors, and has enormous fans who was born in 1990s. it's absolutely incredible, I favorite one is the rat warrior.
I always liked how the chrome looked in this series, the weird way it shined with primitive cgi was really and still is really cool.
I wanted to rail Blackarachnia so bad when I was a kid.
Same.
+I am Always Right So, I wasn't the only one.
Noo what about he female tiger I forgot what her name was
+Sosa gambino air razor the hawk
Does that count as beastiality or cyber sex?
Oh geeze... I used to love this show, lol. I’d watch it for hours!
They need to make a movie of this with no humans to ruin it
i really miss this
What a graphics now heheh? But when i was a kid this is my Favorite cartoon of all time.
2:32 my favorite beast wars transformation from optimus primal and predicon megatron.🥰
Btw, here's megatron's t-rex run at 6:21
Still a better love story than twilight.
kazemizu XD
Everything is. XD

0:13 WTF! Dinobot british accent! ....."Te winnah.......the losah""
Dinobot having the most honor, Cheetor having bravery and rat trap is cunning
This series was The Wire for little kids lmao
Awwwww yeah. "THHATS JUST PRIME!!!"
I used to have the Cheetor and K-9 transformer toys as a kid, ahhh the memories.
Thanks soo much optimal optimus, Great collection of moments man
GIVE MY REGARDS TO THE INFERNOOOO!!!
Those crystals were like pure LCD as a kid
