The Soapbox IV: Top 10 Characters of All Time

[SilverDragon]

I have to agree with the above to some degree. As much as I liked Beast Wars, toy wise (non Japanese) it had a monumental flaw and that was a lack of variety. They were all Beasts, about half were robotic with pseudo vehicle modes (Transmetals) but the Beast theme was still very much present.

That is why it was called Beast Wars.

With Hot Shot being one of the new key characters on a new show I can understand his placement in the list.

Armada's hardly new.

Armada's hardly new.

Sorry I should of been more specific. I meant a new show at the time.

Yeah it was but what I am saying is that not everyone digged the Beast Modes even though the concept had already originated in G1 and many of the complainers didn't mind it.

What I am getting at is what about the people who don't like Beast modes? There was nothing there for them and since from 1996-2000 it was all about Beast modes and nothing else; those people must have felt alienated.

That was when they headed in the direction of the Machine Men...

I see what you mean. Well, they had BWII over in Japan for vehicle modes (albeit repainted molds), and Machine Wars, though since that lasted about two weeks it wasn't much to tide the vehicle mode fans over. Oh, and there was also the Machine Men.
