    Didn't DiTillio and Forward say in the DVD extras Interview that they had intended to connect the Vok with the G2 Swarm but they were never able to do so thanks to Hasbro wanting to end the series all of a sudden?

    My biggest grievance with the end of Beast Wars is that it was never allowed to continue as it was intended. So many awesome concepts that were introduced but sadly never had the opportunity to be developed thanks to Hasbro wanting to 'reinvent' Transformers so unexpectedly and without good reason.

    Yeah, you will hear me say that the lowest point for me in Beast Wars was the final episodes of the third season but I agree with Gok, I can't blame the writers for it since they were forced to conclude the series pretty much in the last minute after having planned to continue for a whole extra season.

    They pretty much made the best of what they could under very difficult circumstances.

    That is why I am more critical of bad Animated episodes and Beast Machines than the BW Season 3 ending. With BM and Animated it was a conscious artistic choice from the producers to take (are taking) the series in their respective directions while in Beast Wars, they were forced to conclude the series and add a whole bunch of stuff in just 4 episodes after counting on a whole extra season to tell the story.

    To be honest, DiTillion and Forward did amazingly well considering the circumstances, I don't think that I would have been able to do the same particularly when there must have been a lot of frustration and anger about the sudden Hasbro decision but despite that, they attempted to conclude the series on a high note instead of the too easy 'To hell with this'.
