i dont understand why did megatron look like that

[AeonMagnus]

@TheUnionpacific4008 He's wearing a control harness that enables him to control almost everything on Cybertron. The "cape" is just his Transmetal 2 dragon wings wrapped around him.

whoever produced these abominations needs to perform a ritual suicide on the tombstone of the original Beastwars

[AeonMagnus]

@googleTHT Wow.

[thunder97]

@AeonMagnus Whoever has anything bad to say about Beast Machines needs to reformatted...

[ShadowSonic2]

@Aurabolt In the comics, the Headmasters were the result of organic Nebulans merging their bodies and minds with Autobots and Decepticons. And it was stated in those stories that those groups were better from the merging (faster, better reaction time, etc). The Godmasters' powers and healing abilities were the result of the Human/Cybertronian mixing of life energies, which is why God Ginrai was killed so easily once he became 100% robotic.

[Aurabolt]

@ShadowSonic2 Really? I don't recall the Headmasters and Godmasters being organic in nature. New info to me, which is why I love TF.

[ShadowSonic2]

@Aurabolt Biotech had been a part of TFs since before Beast Wars, in fact the idea that part organic TFs being stronger than normal TFs has been around since G1 (Headmasters, Godmasters).

[Aurabolt]

@Aurabolt Then Beast Machines comes around, throws nearly everything we knew from the greatness of the original Beast Wars away by claiming a victory for Megatron that had an entire planet to go through on the biggest level of luck imaginable, and then we have adding biotechnics to a wholly-technological society instead of dealing with the threat? Cybertron existed for generations and, while some Transformers could be considered to have organic parts, didn't need organic life. That made no sense

[Aurabolt]

@AeonMagnus Yeah, that's true. However, it also goes into ideologies which didn't fit with the rest of G1, I think most people can agree. The war was a messy affair of brother-against-brother if we're being technical which blew up into an epic struggle for the protection and control of the universe from far greater threats. I didn't think that was a bad thing to base your series around-or basing Beast Wars off the aftermath of said War and and explore what people wanted to fight for,

[AeonMagnus]

@Aurabolt It doesn't go into religion, it goes into ideologies, which is not the same thing. It includes: freedom vs peace, technology vs nature. None misplaced, all topical, and all staples of science-fiction shows, which it aimed to be first and foremost. A goal shared by Beast Wars.

The thing people just can't deal with is having a series that has something to say ("WTF? Tranformurs mayk meh think?"), instead of just being shoot-em-up-bang-bang. And making some changes to do so.

[Aurabolt]

@thunder97 There's a lot bad to say about Beast Machines, mainly because it changes everything we knew from Beast Wars-which was amazing-and goes very much into religious context and misplaced ideas about how things really should have been....especially how friends and allies should be trusted, but weren't.

[killernick25]

@AeonMagnus wow is right googleTHT is crazy

[ChaoticTeen16]

@boxorak Actually, since Megatron lost the Beast Wars, he wants to rid himself of the body that he lost in, hence his constant attempts to purge the beast mode from his body. He only leaves the control harness if he becomes enraged, mostly due to the Maximals meddling in his affairs.

@googleTHT As much as I hate to admit it, I didn't like a lot of Beast Machines but it wasn't all that bad. Some of it is really awesome - the last episode is spectacular.
