(MAY-2013) Beast Machines Characters - Best and Worst

[griffin]

Beast Machines is like the unwanted in-law of Transformers - very little attention was given to it, but it does have some fans.

It was released in both Western and Japanese markets, and details of this series can be read up here (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Beast_Machines:_Transformers_%28franchise%29).

Who are your favourite characters in this era, and why?
I always liked the generals :P

Which characters were disappointing or under-used?
Many had more potential.

[MayzaPrime]

I really enjoyed Tankor\Rhinox character but I think the writers could have done more, as I felt his death was rushed.

Cheetor really matured in BM, and it turns out he is a Matrix templar (TFCC Wreckers Comic)

Optimus was a massive let down in this series until Megatron absorbed all of the cybertronians sparks.

A dishonourable mention to Silverbolt who was a giant chicken

[BigTransformerTrev]

Who are your favourite characters in this era, and why? Well, as in introduced BM characters whom have enjoyed a life/following post the series with have Strika (a whole lotta femmebot) and the little medi-droid and thats about it really. I will give a shout out to Botanica for being unique. And Black Arachnia was still mildly entertaining.

Which characters were disappointing or under-used?
Ummm, most?

Who would you have liked to have seen more of in this Series?
Maybe one of the G1 characters come back to life and say "Get the hell off my planet" ;)

[UltraMarginal]

Who are your favourite characters in this era, and why?
Tankor was surprisingly complex and interesting. I grew to like the growth of cheetor.

Which characters were disappointing or under-used?
Primal was a bit of a one trick monkey. I might be wrong but I think Jetstorm had a lot of potential that wasn't quite realised.


Who would you have liked to have seen more of in this Series?

I would have liked to have seen more characters on the Predacon/decepticon side, 3 plus Megatron was a bit lean.
