I was in year 9 when Beast Wars was shown on TV. I remember seeing it and thinking "That's Megatron? Noooooo! What have they done?".

I'm glad you're enjoying Beast Wars Sam. I think it's clear to see how Beast Wars managed to save Transformers from oblivion after "Generation 2" brought the franchise to the edge of extinction. I see Beast Wars as the Transformers' Renaissance.
I still remember my initial feelings towards BW when I was in high school, however having grown up now I realise I didn't spend enough time trying to understand the series. Personally, I still like TFs better if their alt modes were vehicles or "mechanical" objects, however BW has a really solid storyline and there is continuity between episodes! (I always wanted the original US cartoons to show some continuation between each episode - apart from those story arcs).

Honestly I don't know who my favourite character is, but I really dislike Rattrap - such an annoying voice!
