Beast Wars: Transformers

Beast Wars: Transformers (Also known as Beasties: Transformers in Canada) is a American and Canadian CGI animated animated science fiction drama series that aired during September 16, 1996 - March 7, 1999 on Fox Kids and  Toonami in the U.S and YTV IN Canada and is the first installment of the "Beast Era" of the "Generation 1 continuity" of the Transformers franchise.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Even though it looks outdated, the CGI is great and it's animated by Mainframe Entertainment the same company who also made ReBoot.
 * 2) * The CGI improved as the series carries on.
 * 3) After the disastrous failure of Generation 2, this show basically saved the franchise from dying.
 * 4) Great voice acting done by the Ocean Group, courtesy of Garry Chalk, Ian James Cortlett, Scott McNeil, And David Kaye.
 * 5) Megatron is a very intimidating villain as unlike his G1 character of the same name his plans were to destroy the Autobots so the Maximals would never exist and Decepticon and Predacon´s would rule the galaxy.
 * 6) Waspinator is a comic relief character done right. Everything about him is hilarious, down to him leaving the Predacons because of the misfortune he suffered.
 * 7) Optimus Primal is an interesting "leader" character because he tries to live up to the legacy of his ancestor: Optimus Prime.
 * 8) Dinobot's character arc is considered to be among the best in western animation, in no small part thanks to "Code of Hero", an episode to this day considered unmatched in Transformers history.
 * 9) Great soundtrack.
 * 10) Nemesis Part 1 and 2 was a good ending to the show.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The CGI looks dated nowadays and really was flawed (More prominently during the first season).
 * 2) The show does have some toilet humor and inappropriate innuendos, and some of the comedy in seasons 2 and 3 also felt out of place.
 * 3) The Japanese dub had a Kid Appeal comedic tone to it which didn't work well that much.
 * 4) It spawned an infamously awful game for the PS1 and the N64.

Trivia

 * The reason why it is called Beasties in Canada is because the Canadian broadcaster YTV considered the original title to be too violent.
