Goktimus' thoughts on Beast Wars vs Animated

[Sky Shadow]

Terrorsaur and Waspinator as my least favourite TM moulds (yet they reused TM Terrorsaur for Armada...).

I agree with Transmetal Waspinator - awful toy and a huge disappointment. I love Transmetal Terrorsaur though - he has cool undocumented turny-bits on the side of his chest and a backward-flyer mode!

Anyway, that wasn't the point I was making. What I'm saying is that Animated has several different versions of the same character in the same incarnation.

Yeah, I did get what you meant, but you mentioned "There's like a truck load of Ultra Magnuses/Magni at my local TRU", and Ultra Magnus's shelfwarmth is no different to Scavenger's - neither of them have/had any other incarnations as competition. They're just unloved.

At the moment i would say that i like the BW show more then Animated but i dont think you can really compare the two until Animated has finished its run, i mean if you compare just the first season of both there probally about the same level of interest but when you add season 2 to the playing field BW i think leaps ahead in storyline and charcter development.

As for the toys i like animated way better than BW because i find the Animated toys more fun to play with, but the Beast Wars stuff is more sentimental to me because of the characters in the show and the love i have of those characters.

I to am a huge fan of Transmetal Terrorsaur, I thought he was just plain fun, Rhinox is my least favourte because he's a hassle to transform.

Alas I have no comment on Animated vs Beast Wars, as try as I might I can't get in to the Animated cartoon and the only toy I bought to sample the line was a flop. Other than Activators that is, I do like them.
