Beast Machines: Difference between revisions

''Beast Machines'' tried to tackle such concepts as loyalty, individuality, the merits of freedom vs. chaos, and the challenges of living in an increasingly technological society. This over-ambitious aim, coupled with the [[Continuity Lock Out]] and the radical departure in tone from its predecessor, as well as some ''massive'' departure from the ''Beast Wars'''s characterizations in some cases, turned this show into one of the most hated ''Transformers'' incarnations of all time when it aired; the sheer backlash over it at the time led to Hasbro [[What Could Have Been|scrapping]] a planned [[Sequel Series]] named ''[[Transformers: Trans TechTransTech|Transtech]]'' in favor of dubbing ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]''. However, with the subsequent release of the (generally lower-quality) [[Unicron Trilogy]] as well as readier access to Japanese post-[[Transformers Generation 1|G1]] series, coupled with the gap from the Beast Wars continuity and new fans watching it as a work of its own; ''Beast Machines'' is now looked upon somewhat more favorably, though it's hardly universal.
