Sejian

I love Transformers because of Beast Wars and Beast Machines. I practically grew up with this. Part of what makes this series great is the voice cast. They are amazing in their roles. Dinobot's arc from villain to antihero to self-sacrificing hero is one of the best in media. This could all be nostalgia talking, but Beast Wars is one of a handful of childhood cartoons I can still enjoy as an adult. Tekkaman Blade comes to mind when I talk about childhood cartoons because it's another one I loved as a kid, but unlike Beast Wars I could not make it through the first episode as an adult. It was such contrived !@#$ as to make my eyes bleed from the sheer torture of being subjec- I've made my point. I have tried watching other Transformers cartoons including the original animated movie and they all pale in comparison to Beast Wars and Beast Machines. They're all !@#$. Transformers: War for Cybertron - Kingdom (2021) was an insult to this series. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) was an insult to this series. I will fight whoever gave this ONE star.
