Beast Wars Transformers - The Complete Third Season [DVD]

About the above, only my mother has bought from this site, soI had to use her name. Now to the review!I have been a fan of Beast Wars ever since I saw the first episode, and I saw every episode when it was on TV. The thirdseason is my favorite season since it wraps the show up verywell.The Things I Like About Season 3:1. Newer and better forms to already-great Transformers; the new forms of Optimus, Megatron, and Cheetor to name some of them. They look better than ever.2. The true revelation of the Vok aliens; they were mysterious in the first 2 seasons, but their physical appearances are finally shown. They look really cool.3. New Transformers; there's really only 1 new Transformer in this season (Depth Charge) if you consider Tigerhawk as a new form of Tigatron and Airrazor.The Things I Don't Like About Season 3:1. Optimal Optimus barely showed his beast mode in the show. I think he only showed it in 'Optimal Situation', 'Feral Scream Pt. 1', and 'Feral Scream Pt. 2'.2. Transmetal 2 Megatron, Transmetal 2 Blackarachnia, and Tigerhawk are revealed toward the end of the series, so they aren't in the series for very long.(The disadvantages can be overlooked pretty easily.) I think this season wrapped up the show very well, especially since it has a very funny ending - Waspinator becomes the tribal leader of the Neaderthals! (Who would've thought?)I can't wait for Beast Machines to come out on DVD, so then I'llown my 2 favorite Transformers series. I can't wait!

I loved watching the Beast Wars when I was a teenager and I was sad to see it end, even more so I was sad to even watch the series that followed it. Although season 3 isn't the best of the three, it still have some great plot lines, new characters, return of some old ones, and still for 2006 some great computer animation.I have one problem with the boxset for Season 3 though. The packaging is a neat color, not one I prefer for the 3rd season though considering it was the season to introduce the TransMetal 2's, it would have been more inline if it was modeled after the toy packaging art. But anway when you look at the two discs it contains they have on disc 1 Rhinox in robot mode and on the second one Waspinator in robot mode, both are very grainy digital images. But why these two? And even more there is a picture of Beast Wars season 1 Cheetor from one of the very first episodes of the series. The little booklet that comes with the set has the same exact image from the season 2 box with the quantam surge. I can speculate why they used these images but to the buyer it seems like they just didn't care to do anything else and rushed this out and even though I now have all of the final 13 episodes I feel jaded as a fan.If you've never seen the Beast Wars before I recommend this box set along with seasons 1 & 2, it was a very powerful show and one that I will always miss. It had great action, a great sense of humor, and indepth character and plot development for what Hasbro gave to Bob Forward and Larry Ditillo.

The final season of one of the best Transformers shows to date in my honest opinion. While this season picks up after the big dramatic finale of Season 2, thinking if there would be a chance for the Maximals to be able to fix the damage that was done at the end of the previous season. Although that damaged was fixed but at the same time the battle was far from over, the Predacons done whatever they could to try to get control of what is better known as the Autobot ship, the Ark. While this season has seen a new comer come in along with two old friends, but coming back in a way that nobody had seen coming for whatever reason they thought they would be coming back. Although that this season is 13 episodes just like Season 2, but just like Season 2, the writers didn't fail at delivering the best story telling that they could for the series and a lot of unexpected twists go on in this season. Everything that you didn't think would happen, happen in this season along with the big series 2 part finale and bringing the Beast Wars/Generation 1 story line to a great end. While I was hoping that Season 3 would at least be a little longer than 13 episodes long but I'm satisfied in what they were able to accomplish for the whole Beast Wars saga. Overall I give this set 5 stars out of 5.

To all G1 fans who haven't given this show a chance:This show is fantastic, especially the third season. I dare you to watch just a few episodes of season 2 and 3 and still call it junk. You can't. Despite being based on a toyline (G1 was also, by the way), this series has fabulous character development. It does not reinvent the Generation One Autobots and Decepticons. It is the story of their descendants, the Maximals and Predacons, and it ties back into Generation One without a flaw. All true Generation One fans should enjoy this series because it is a perfect sequel. Beast Wars even features cameos by G1 characters such as Starscream (S1,E21 "Possession"), Ravage (S2,E11-13 "The Agenda"), Optimus Prime (S2, E13 "The Agenda Part 3"; S3,E1 "Optimal Situation"), and the original (Decepticon) Megatron (S3, E10 "Master Blaster"). The character development and plot points of Beast Wars are superior to those of Generation One. It hurts to say it, because I am an original G1 fan also, but it is true. If you still say that you don't like this series after you have watched it, you should ask yourself if it is the Transformers you love, or if it is your childhood memories you love more.

Finally got a hold of season 3 after all these years!Got here quickly and in great shape! The color on the cover is different than in the picture. It has a blue stripe...? I assume maybe this one was a mis-print or perhaps a different version.Great show though, huge part of my childhood!

The company contacted me two days after they shipped it. Apparently the postal office had returned the item to the company and everything was smashed into little bits. Do not know what the hell happened there. The company sent me a perfect conditioned one (the box had a couple scuffs but they were small and no big deal). I was on the third (and final) disk when all of a sudden my piece of crap DVD player was screwing around. It would not eject the disk. I had to unscrew the DVD player to get the DVD out. As a result, the DVD is now scratched but I can always get it resurfaced.

So classic! The storyline is awesome. Waspinator is soo funny!

got it fast and as advertised . loved as a kid . fell into love as as soon as i watch 1 eposide all over again

Love the series, hated the ending
