Should There Be Another Beast Series?

I never said that people "hated" robotic beast modes or that they were inherently "failures"; they often worked as assault modes -- I said that they didn't work as robots in disguise. In the G1 comics Optimus Prime initially expressly forbade the Dinobots from going on missions because their alt modes couldn't work as disguises and would scare people -- and even though it drove the Dinobots bonkers, Prime was right.

Yes but still not robots in disguise. I'm not saying the Dinobots' dino modes weren't cool - canon typically portrayed their dinobot modes as being an assault mode rather than a disguise mode. But in the spirit of being "robots in disguise" robotic beast modes just don't work.

And their alt modes were cassettes, thus they do have disguise modes. Such as the numerous times the cassettes, Soundwave and Blaster were able to infiltrate places in their alt modes.

G1 had organic beast alt modes too.
