Possibly the most awesome Transformers link ever to be posted on any forum ever.
I give to you, breakdancing transformers!*

I positively lost my... shoes... when I saw this. I absolutely adored Transformers as a kid and I find that I still love em as an adult. Kind of like SC 
Anyway, enjoy the link and if you didnt... well... Go see a doctor. Quickly

I'll grant that Power Rangers are a complete rip-off, but only the Gestalt transformers like Devastator (who were not in the original episode, BTW) are reminisent of Voltron.

LOL!!! It's great.
It's probably the most humiliating thing ever done to Soundwave, but it's great!!!

Cool!!
Why dont they make a whole new series with animation like that? Sure beats the damn beastwars (yuck). 
And soundwave is simply the coolest sounding entity I know of. Oh how I searched for a voice synth or filter to replicate that sound... but alas... all in vein. :-/

Actually BeastWars is damn good, have you really given it a chance or just judged it based on its graphics?

Well, I dislike the new shapes of both megatron and optimus prime, and I think there's too much slapstic involved wich makes it less serious (waspinator the eternal comic relief guy for example). Also the scale of the conflict is pretty small with only a small gang on each side.
But if I catch and episode while surfing through the TV channels I usually watch it. There's much worse forms of entertainment out there 
Havent really seen enough episodes to really grasp the storyline though.

New shapes? No such thing. I guess you never saw the episode where Optimus Primal and his group protected the original Autobots while they were dormant in the volcano.

I don't mind slapstick, especially when the story is still good entertaining and smart.
If it were all about slapstick or slapstick with bad plot then it would've been bad (like season 3 of the original series, with Grimlock reduced to comic relief and Rodimus Prime as commander of the autobots).
Anyway, Culture20 has a major point there - these are NOT the original Optimus and Megatron, only their namesakes - named so in honor of the two.
To make it short, Beastwars is good because of its story line; an episode once in a while will only serve as spoilers that'll spoil the fun.
All of the above is, of course, IMO.

You could be right UAF. I guess I'm not fully qualified to criricize unless I actually see at least some part of the series in chronological order.
And maybe I was being overly critical becouse I remember the original series to be absolutely awesome... but that was back when I was a little kid and my standard wasnt particularly high
