In the beginning came the beasts, and all that creeps, crawls and flies - but nature lies, theyâre robots in disguise!*
Happy 20th Anniversary Beast Wars!
"Itâs April 22nd, 1996. Youâve just tuned in to a new cartoon, and after a brief opening credits showcasing the characters â all to a rocking theme song â you witness two spacecraft in battle above a planet. After both take damage, both ships crash on to the planet â and a new adventure begins.
It sounds like it could be the opening to the original Transformers cartoon, but what you just witnessed was the dawn of a new era of Transformers, and the franchiseâs first true reimagining and reboot. Gone were the jet planes, sports cars, and tanks â this was a different era. An era of robots who turned into birds, mammals, and dinosaurs. This was the dawn of the Beast Era â the Beast Wars!
Itâs hard to believe that Beast Wars is celebrating its 20th birthday today â it is a show with a timeless quality, and it enjoys an enduring position with fans. Many consider Beast Wars, this 20 year old show, to be the yardstick by which all other new Transformers shows are measured. As evidenced whenever there is a fan poll for favorite characters or âwhich Transformers series should get a new comicâ, Beast Wars almost always comes out on top. Many of the characters who were first introduced in Beast Wars have gone on to appear in more recent Transformers fiction, such as IDWâs comics or more recent cartoons.
The background to Beast Wars is one many of us are familiar with. In the mid 1990s, the Transformers line was struggling. While Transformers Generation 2 had revived the line following its cancellation in 1990, it had never caught on and the threat of cancellation loomed once again. Hasbro, looking for a way to keep their brand alive, decided to hand it off to their subsidiary Kenner. Kenner in turn took the core concept of the line â robots that turn into other things, two toys in one â and applied it to realistic animals instead of cars and jets. Articulation became the norm, and the line was reinvented to do away with multitudes of subgroups, instead adopting the size class system which has endured in a modified form ever since. The smallest figures used an autotransformation gimmick, and as the toys got larger, the number of accessories and gimmicks increased. Another innovation that Beast Wars brought to the table was the idea that all the weapon parts â be it guns, swords, or missiles â could be concealed somewhere in the toyâs alternate mode, meaning that unlike the original toys, the Beast Wars toys did not leave you with a pile of loose accessories to one side whenever you transformed them."
**Fun Fact: BW won an Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation in 1997.
Fun Fact: The voice director for the show , Susan Blu, voiced G1 Arcee. She is also the director for Beast Machines, Transformers Animated, 1987 TMNT, 2003 TMNT
Fun Fact: BW brought ball joint poseability to all the toys. As much as I love G1, most toys only had 2 points, mostly in the shoulders. BW made articulation a standard for the line.

So for now, let the battle be here, on this strange primitive world. And let it be calledâŚBeast Wars!*
Any flips here(Btier donât count) that ever voted in Philippines? Or know friends that are flips in general.
Found one of the site that u can query and my flip friendâs info was there. Shits cray. Got her to sign-up identity theft monitoring real quick last night. Dunno if its safe to post here but google-fu/duckduckgo should return result. PM if u need the link.
Be safe SRK bruvs.
Man, you REALLY donât know someone until drugs are involved. Got square-ass women out here letting a group of dudes do blow off of her tits. This seems to be like a girl fantasy or some shit because way too many are cool with it when asked to do it.
Pretty good peek into what the JW world is all about. The way him and Larry Graham were talking is 100% exactly like every other elder ever. The cult-speak is cringe worthy.
Yeah, i saw the vid/story. They just fought over some BS but the cop was patrolling the school and tackled the shit out of both of them. Apparently leading to them both being suspended.
I am aware sir. Thatâs why I have a license as an Aircraft mechanic as my main trade, and Iâm looking into driving for uber while Iâm waiting on the Tuscon job. Iâm not banking on this. Iâm just doing it because I have some free time. Should it become a profitable endeavor, cool. If not whatever Iâll still have fun with it.
Where did you get that from? Ive never heard stories of buffalo soldiers raping native people at war. Sounds like some racist propaganda bullshit. Id love to read a source on this
Lemme guess, they were white, and in their 20s. Nuff said. Girls of all races though are simple minded whores in their 20s. Especially if they were born in the 90s. Then they stop being simple minded whores in their late twenties, tighten up to find a man, pretend they didnt use to flash their tits at bars for beer, and in their 40s they relapse.
I mean, to be fair, men are whores in their 20s too. We just dont do oddly degrading shit for attention. A male square is generally just a male square. A female square is just a whore in hiding 80 percent of the time.
**Maybe one day iâll be able to go at least a week without being a sexist pig on srk. lol
