The animated adventures of the Transformers took a dramatic turn with the 1999-2000 series Beast Machines; the complete series set, which compiles all 26 episodes of its two seasons, will give fans either a chance to re-examine this controversial series, or more fuel for their particular likes or dislikes. Beast Machines picks up where the previous (and well-liked) Transformers series, Beast Wars, left off, with Optimus Primal and the remaining Maximal team returning to their home planet of Cybertron, and still in their animal forms. There they discover that the planet is without power, and a race of drone machines known as the Vehicons on the prowl for the surviving heroes. Optimus consults with the super computer Oracle, who reveals that Predacon villain Megatron is behind the power loss and the Vehicons, and is using two re-wired Maximals to uncover the Key to Vector Sigma, the mega-computer that gave life ("sparks") to robots, and destroy the Maximals by transforming organic matter into "technomatter." What follows is an epic (and often convoluted) struggle between the forces of Megatron and Optimus that, as with Beast Wars, frequently touches on decidedly mature subjects as spirituality and racial identity. However, the liberties taken with the depiction of many of the characters, as well as the somewhat downbeat ending (which were in part the sources of much division among fans during its broadcast) may turn off those who particularly enjoyed Beast Wars or carry fond memories of the original animated series, from which this is far afield. The four-disc set includes commentaries on three episodes, one with story editor Robert N. Skir and legendary Marvel Comics artist Marv Wolfman, who helped develop Beast Machines, and two with Skir and writer Steven Melching; Skir and Wolfman are also featured in separate interviews, as are voice director Susan Blu and voice actor David Kaye (who essays Megatron). --Paul Gaita

Now I know that fans usual don't care for Beast Machines and I respect them for their own opinion but to me...this series is great! Yes, it isn't quite as great as Beast Wars but it is close.
The storylines and characters are memorable and the action is great as usual...especially when it comes totechno-organic beings slugging it out with one another.
Episode One- The Reformatting
Episode Two- Master of the House

It's inevitable that Beast Machines will have comparisons to its predecessor, Beast Wars. This show followed BW and featured the exact same characters, but both shows were very, very different. Upon first viewing of the show, I, like most Beast Wars fans, felt quite alienated due to the major differences.
However, it's been a while since I've seen either Beast Wars or Beast Machines. Since I stopped watching BM after the first few episodes, I decided to go to local video store and give ... Read More

I'm one of the few that really loved this short series.
I totally understand why most didn't like it and preferred the more monotonous (repetitious) BEAST WARS over enlightened BEAST MACHINES.
BEAST MACHINES was one of first great advances in TV CGI. It also tried not to rehash every plot we've seen a million times already. Sure, it had its filler episodes, but over all the intelligence of it's story arch had more depth than 20 other TV kid shows put together.

This was a great series with a dumb ending. If you have little kids they will like it. Adults who grew up with the original transformers will like it until the last episode.

Beast Wars was enough of a departure from the Transformers mythology, but the show proved to be something special indeed. Beast Machines picks up where Beast Wars left off, and things take even more of a turn with this series. Beast Machines picks up with Maximals Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Rattrap, and Black Arachnia on Cybertron and trapped in their original beast forms. Silverbolt and Rhinox are missing, and none of them have any memory of what happened. Things are complicated even more so by the fact ... Read More
