beast wars is crap, end of.... who wants to see a bunch of dino's and apes killing each other? thats what the discovery chanels for....

Have you every watched Beast Wars? In all seriousness, I highly recommend you give it a go. It has arguably the best storytelling and characterisation of any Transformers Series ever made.

i watched 2 episodes, i just started watching the 3rd one now, but of all the characters, i would of thought they would of put bumblebee, well, as a giant bee... he is the only transformer with a animal name aint he? -_-

[bumblebee]

well he has never been a insect so i dont think they'll start now

But saying that, optimus has never been a ape, nor megatron been a t-rex

[Robtimus]

Optimus Primal is not Optimus Prime, and BW Megatron is not G1 Megatron. They are completely different characters who just happen to share (part of) the name.
Well, happen to... The More Than Meets The Eye profile books (granted, created over a decade after BW) have shown that BW Megatron copied his name from G1 Megatron. But they are still not the same character.

if they didnt destroy cybertron in tf3 they could have had a film on it where the humans have to help the autobots stop the decepticons on cybertron from activating an anicient weapon of mass destruction :O

Well, generation 1, generation 2, beast wars and beast machines are in a different continuity to the live action films...

Likewise,the unicron trilogy and rid,animated are all their own things. As is prime. It borrows heavily from the live action films but is again a different universe/continuity to what has gone before

...i'm a bit late joining in here, aren't i?

And yeah,stick with beast wars.the first season is about the maximals and predacons getting accustomed to the alien planet they are on,which builds to a head as the transformers realise they are not alone on the planet. The second season really ramps things up and the third,whilst a bit uneven and rushed rounds out the series nicely

For one thing, it's a different set of characters, so it doesn't matter if Bumblebees there or not.

Second, at the time, Hasbro had lost the trademark to the name Bumblebee, it was only when the live action movies came out that they were allowed to start using it again.
