Beast Wars & Beast Machines

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Transformers: Beast Wars – Which was actually my first exposure to the Transformers franchise proper: As a kid that was the right age at that time, I absolutely loved the series; the slapstick comedy and the many twists and turns in the story made it for one hell of a ride. I’d say the show’s aged rather well; the dialogue is hammy but it clearly revels in it, and the voice acting is excellent.

I was like nine or ten years old when I first saw this and didn’t even know about the original 80’s cartoon yet. This scene still fucking blew my mind.

And, of course, Dinobot. The most OG death in animation history:

“Tell me tale to those ask. Tell it truly: The ill deeds, along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest… is silence.”
