And if that wasn't enough, Madman are also hoping to talk to some animators and directors as well, so in addition to your questions for the voice actors, you might want to have a think about questions you could put to Mainframe, too ;-) Lastly, Madman would also like you to suggest an episode you'd like to hear a commentary on, considering the characters involved from the list above... Deadline for this will be Monday, June 26th, so don't delay: post your questions from home, from work, from the toilet using your laptop or Blackberry! We don't care where you do it from, just as long as you do it, so it's over to you now guys, and don't waste this great opportunity, as they don't come round very often! -------------- You have big sheds with 20 foot high chickens, and these chickens are scared because they don't know why they're so big, and they're going 'Oh, why am I so massive?' and they're looking down at the little chickens and they think they're in an aeroplane because all the other chickens are so small! - Alan Partridge Back to top

Sick of being Predacon! And especially sick of getting blown to SCRAP ALL THE TIME!!! So Waspinator quit! As of now which means Ant-bot and Two-Heads can just pucker their mandibles and plant big, wet, juicy one right here on Waspinator's big, Fat, STRIPEY... *BOOM* Back to top

Can anyone elaborate on the plot / why it was cut etc? Is there any explaination / thought process behind the "humouring" of season three - the show seemed to be more light hearted, containing many 'slapstick' moments and less violence. Was this something forced upon them by Hasbro or was it just decided to take this route? Questions for animators / modellers: What's the process involved in going from physical toy to 3D character? Question for Garry / David: How do you feel about the current Transformers shows (Armada, Energon, Cybertron) in comparison to Beast Wars? -------------- You're not a loser. Think how pretty you make people look by contrast. That's a gift. Back to top

Red Alert TEAM COMMANDER Group: Members Posts: 234 Member Number: 8 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: June 22 2006,20:08 Here are a number of items that I would like addressed; Firstly: to David Kaye; Was it your idea to add the flamboyant & unflappable traits to Megatron's personality that broke the mold for your regular run-of-the-mill tyrant/dictator? Likewise, was it your idea to display these tendancies in the animation itself in the posturing that Megs so often did? i.e, twitching the small front forelegs in T-Rex mode while waffling on about something? Secondly: to Larry & Bob; 3 queries on story plots of Season 2 & 3; #1. Transmetal Quantum Surge; while many good theories have surfaced on the 'net, I'm not sure that either Larry or Bob have ever explained the selection criteria for who went Transmetal and who didn't (and why for that matter) in the episode "Aftermath". Did Hasbro play any part in these decisions? Likewise, who's call was it to bump off Terrorsaur & Scorponok and why those 2 in particular? #2. Alien Disc; Each of the 5 symbols on the disc represented an alien site on Earth. Three of these were explored & explained in S1, and a fourth in S2. What was planned for the fifth and final symbol/site and why wasn't it used in a story? #3. Transmetal Driver; While it was explained that this was an alien (Vok) artifact, no explanation was ever given for what it was originally created for (before Megs modified it in Feral Scream pt.1), how & where Megs found it, and finally, what became of it after it resurrected Blackarachnia in Crossing the Rubicon. Hopefully these queries (while long winded) might be addressed with some satisfactory answers. Regards, Red Back to top

llamatron VECTOR SIGMA Group: Members Posts: 2435 Member Number: 39 Joined: April 2002 Posted: June 22 2006,20:58 More questions for the writers or anyone really if possible: How much warning were you given from Hasbro that you had to end the series? How many episodes were already written when the order came? If Beast Wars hadn't ended with season 3, what did you have planned to happen next? It is rumoured that TigerHawk was forced into the show by Hasbro. Ca you elaborate on this? -------------- You're not a loser. Think how pretty you make people look by contrast. That's a gift.
