Would a live action BW movie be a good idea?

lol @ george A. Romero! That would be fantastic! I'm a HUGE zombie flick fan, so having zombie transforme would be kind of neat, but I gotta wonder, do transformers have brains or is it a series of circut boards and whatnot... either way, I think Tarantluas could pass for one...

I also like the movies Rob Zombie's done, he too could throw his hat in and make someone like rampage even more nuts and twisted!

well this years movie is going to be a big hit but a beast wars movie would not be as good as a g1 movie

Highly debatable. And do you mean good as in successful or good as in excellent quality? (For those of you who are aware of the bollocks Big Brother phenomena we have been gripped with you fully understand what I'm talking about).

The interesting point would be that machine-robots have been done, done and done again. Better CG is probably the biggest hitter however plot is the thing which will determine quality. Seriously, you can do stop motion with cardboard cutouts and make a brilliant series, but without plot the best a brightest CG guys can't help you.

Beast Wars leaves options for new characters and forms, time travel, multiple planets and a greater connection with the audience (being part organic).

I'm a huge G1 fan and have all the boxed sets and will be charging headlong to get front row seats to the first screening however I believe in the entire Transformers Universe.

That is really interesting. I never knew that. The thing that annoys me though is that anime shows seem to ignore that "rule". Heck, look at Pokemon or Yu Gi Oh (probably spelled incorrectly and I am not going to waste my time looking up how to spell that) those things don't seem to die and neither is experiencing the wild fan-craze they used to. What is it that keeps those shows going?!?!

And THIS will be the mystery of the century, though truth be told Yu-Gi-Oh's tv commodity is over, if making new shows is the context we're using. (I think.)

Poke'mon on the other hand is the same repetitive crap nearly every slagging episode. Team Rocket has suffered more injuries than Wile E. Coyote for Pete's sake!

*stops before letting his entire Poke'mon rant come bursting through*

Though it would be interesting to see (back to the BW movie), but I doubt it would happen. Beast Wars carved a name for itself, but now newer generations won't even hear about it as the G1 shadow comes around.

actullety michel bay or whatever his name is has ruined the g1 transformers don't give him any ideas to ruin the beast wars charecters

Every time you post in a dead thread, Rampage eats a kitten. Please, think of the kittens.

I am so totally quoting your post sometime in the near future.
