September 16,1996 marked the premiere of Beast Wars.In celebration of the day,I'd like to ask everyone,what does Beast Wars mean to you?

For me? Nothing. After G1 I stopped watching as a kid, and didnt restart watching TF toons til Animated.

The first great north american transformers cartoon since G1. I mush have watched the first 4 episodes a dozen times. Never missed an episode until I started working. Enjoyed watching the reruns on YTV and later teletoon.

At first I was disapointed no vehicles and it wasn't G1, but after a few episoids it stared to grow on me so I would have to say Beast wars for me was pretty cool being done in CG (wish G1 had been done this way) as it brought beast wars (BEASTIES here) to life,... stories were well written and as the seasons progressed were not to be missed,..also gave us some vary good voice artist Gary Chalks rendition of Optimus Primal I thought was excellent along side David Kays Megatron rivals Peter Cullen and Frank Welkers as unforgettable voices for these Charaters and it also set up the continuing storyline in beast machines which I think is a much under rated series.

It never aired in TeleToon,but aired in YTV numerous times.

But I'm glad that you watched this with great pride.

First cartoon I watched when I turned on the TV in Canada (late night reruns of 2000). It blew my 7 year old mind, as I thought Reboot was awesome, UNTIL A GORILLA EXPLODES INTO A ROBOT....

Also it was probably one of the motivations in learning English.

Didn't the toys come out in 1995?

I got into Transformers again in 1996, and met my best friend through it, so Beast Wars really means a lot to me. IMO the best Transformers show all-around to this day(though it's got some competition lately...), and definately among the best animated shows of the 90's. Some of my favorite characters came out of BW. Oh, and it was made right here in Vancouver, too

I'm speaking about the television series more than the toyline.
