I've been looking up these two Japanese Beast Wars series online and watching subtitled and fandubbed versions of it...and its not that bad. Both shows pale in comparison to the original Beast Wars series but are none the less quite entertaining and alot of the bots possess rather good beast modes (especially that Magmatron fellow...SCARY TRIPLE FUZOR/GESTALT!). I've seen a few beast wars II episodes and its a bit goofy really and it makes no sense that only the leader of the Preds has a beast form, but the transformation sequences and beast forms are pretty cool (especially the lion Lioconvoy). Beast Wars Neo is much better from what little I've seen of it because the predacons actually LOOK like Predacons and have beast forms. I suspect most of you guys have heard of these spinoff series already, but feel free to check out this web link of you haven't. later
