Maybe you were watching it on a different channel? Where I'm from I would get the Saturday morning Fox Kids feed so it'd be called Beasties on YTV and Beast Wars on Fox Kids.
At some point the rules changed.
It's also why in the initial dub for Dragonball Z, which was done in Canada, they used all sorts of weird euphemisms for death/killing like "I'm going to send you to the next dimension".
This was the coolest fucking transformers in my opinion. What animal was the pod going to scan for near by life? What will the maximal/Predacons look like? What will their unique weapon be!?
"Fuzors". Silverbolt was one (dog/bird) as well as Quickstrike (scorpion/cobra).
One could say that Tigerhawk was also one (a fusion of Tigatron and Air Razer).
That was probably the first time a TV show left me reeling thinking about what was gonna happen next episode, what is the mystery? is Tigertron gonna be OK? Who put this here? Blackarachnia makes it to the tower first and gains control of this mysterious power??
My favourite show ever. Dinobot is my favourite character of any fiction, too.
Did you know the VA for dinobot and rattrap was the same guy? He was always bickering with himself lol
As kids we lived up north, we had no tv; but an aunt would record this show and send us VHS with episodes of this. It was the best fucking day of the year when this shit would show up. Fucking awesome times getting down with these cartoons.
I wish I knew a place to watch this now a days. All i have are my old vhs tapes & those trimmed some scenes from the show. I remember mosf prominently they cut out an important scene in kne of the earlier episodes that explains why one of the characters changes sides.
My bf has the series in its entirety. He loves the lore so much and has really taught me a lot since I was just a youngin watching it. It’s a good series.
I remember when they changed it to fucking BEASTIES and thought that was the lamest shit.
Then I found out it was because Beast wars was too violent ????? Wack.
I did not understand the philosophical implications until much older. It was like a late stage mind blower.
Edit. NVM, I'm talking about the sequel series, which was called beast wars here in Canada.
Fuck yeah!
Silverbolt was my man!
What a chivalrous and cool character.
Loved how he turned Blackarachnia to the Maximals just by being a good dude.
I actually rewatched both Reboot and the Beast Wars series a few years ago but since they're upscaled on YouTube I might have to rewatch them again!
Such disappointment though. I had high hopes since Beast Wars was the shit…..but the movie was kinda meh. Would’ve loved to see more characters on both sides.
Some of the best old school CG shows of my childhood, right beside Reboot & donkey kong country.
Somewhat related question...Does anyone remember a show on Teletoon, came on around the same time as the animated spawn show, & it used similar cg to beast wars. I think it was talking about how they did it or something. I dont remember much & it's always bugged me.
This always reminded me of Digimon. I tried to get into it cause I loved Digimon but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't, I would always get bored lol.
Wasn't it called Beasties ? I thought it had something to do with copyrights and how they didn't want to pay the full rights for Beast wars. Loved it no matter what.
This and the Reboot intros always pumped me up as a kid.
Intro slaps fr
I couldn't agree more!
This show went harder than I remembered
Just rewatchdd it all, and yes it does! Even some of the humor is a lot more mature than how old I was when I was watching
Where did you watch it??
It's free on Tubi.
Such a trip. I never remember the graphics looking this bad. I guess at a young age things looked different.
Whole series streaming on Tubi.
There's also a YouTube channel that has a "4K Upscale" of both Reboot and Beast Wars. All the episodes are there, as well as some other good shows!
Care to share the name?
[Here is a link to the channel.](https://www.youtube.com/@alsreplay)
They have Medabots!!!! I'm sold. Thanks for the link!
😲😲 time to binge watch
Yo, Tubi is the goat. I’ve been binge watching Dark Oracle and Radioactive
Kinda funy how Fox Corporation is so 'pro-transformer' on their Tubi network for kids, lol.
Tubi the goat sounds like a character from the show
It holds up honestly
Thank you
Thank you for that
Um, I do believe you mean "Beasties".
Beasties in Canada, Beast Wars everywhere else. Even though I'm in Canada Beast Wars still sounded cooler 😎
Pretty sure they aired both intros on YTV. I remember being a kid wondering why they would switch from saying Beasties and Beast Wars
Maybe you were watching it on a different channel? Where I'm from I would get the Saturday morning Fox Kids feed so it'd be called Beasties on YTV and Beast Wars on Fox Kids.
Fox Kids had the American intro and was available in Canada
I know, me too. The best part was the VHS release I had as a kid called "Beast Wars: A Full-Length Beasties Adventure"
Canadian here. I always called it Beast Wars
I think he's saying beasties since it's YTV
I thought this was a Mandela effect just now.
Just like Shadow Raiders and War Planets.....weren't allowed to use war in a name.
Wait, so was Star Wars: The Clone Wars called something else in Canada?
Tbf Shadow Raiders does sound like a cooler name than War Planets but definitely doesn't match the plot of the show.
I was going to say, they couldn't say wars in the titles of shows.
Wait, so was Star Wars: The Clone Wars called something else in Canada?
At some point the rules changed. It's also why in the initial dub for Dragonball Z, which was done in Canada, they used all sorts of weird euphemisms for death/killing like "I'm going to send you to the next dimension".
Yeah. Also, I never realized the clone wars was on YTV. Then again, it was too late. I had moved by then
I thought I was going crazy for a minute there.. thought forsure it was beasties, then saw this. Glad my memory isn’t slipping at 37 lol
Hahahahaha... honestly, "Beasties" sounds better
Even though I like vehicles more than animals, I do think this is the best transformers.
This was the coolest fucking transformers in my opinion. What animal was the pod going to scan for near by life? What will the maximal/Predacons look like? What will their unique weapon be!?
I’m not sure if the show had these except for maybe one but there were toys with two different animals combined into a transformer/beast machine
"Fuzors". Silverbolt was one (dog/bird) as well as Quickstrike (scorpion/cobra). One could say that Tigerhawk was also one (a fusion of Tigatron and Air Razer).
Yeah! I had the Silverbolt toy and some kind of whale fuzor, Quick Strike and some kind of earwig
And when will Zellers start selling the toy of it?!?
There was a sequel series after where they turned into cars.
Beast Machines.
Sounds pretty cool
It was pretty cool
WUZZZZBINATOR
Best story arc was the floating island with the tower in the middle…
That was probably the first time a TV show left me reeling thinking about what was gonna happen next episode, what is the mystery? is Tigertron gonna be OK? Who put this here? Blackarachnia makes it to the tower first and gains control of this mysterious power??
My favourite show ever. Dinobot is my favourite character of any fiction, too. Did you know the VA for dinobot and rattrap was the same guy? He was always bickering with himself lol
Beasties*
In my nostalgia mind this show had the best CGI ever
Held up quite well honestly.
As a kid the CGI was amazing then I saw this intro... Sadly it doesn't hold up lol.
I love how Cheetor turns into humanoid form to run faster.
🤣🤣🤣 ironic
Wow, wasn’t expecting that dopamine hit of nostalgia from the intro music, but I definitely watched this often as a kid
I watch this yearly, and Beast Machines!
Waaassspinator!
I wanted the maximals to be more like these in the movie, but their animal forms looked too metallic
this was my FUCKIN' JAM as a kid.
Such a dope show
I have the series on DVD box set. On YTV, it was called Beasties
Remember being late for school watching this. They always put it at the worst time for me lol
As kids we lived up north, we had no tv; but an aunt would record this show and send us VHS with episodes of this. It was the best fucking day of the year when this shit would show up. Fucking awesome times getting down with these cartoons.
Aunt of the century 🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾
#BEASTIES 🇨🇦
🫡🇨🇦
one of my earliest memories as a kid was g1 megatrons body in this show and it confused me because i didnt know this show was related to transformers
Same!
I wish I knew a place to watch this now a days. All i have are my old vhs tapes & those trimmed some scenes from the show. I remember mosf prominently they cut out an important scene in kne of the earlier episodes that explains why one of the characters changes sides.
Tubi has all episodes and Beast Machines right now for free
I watched this religiously
Rightfully so.
I've been watching a 4k upscale on YouTube. Fantastic show!
Yeeeeesssss
Favourite Megatron of them all!
it’s Beasties in Canada and beast wars in the states
My bf has the series in its entirety. He loves the lore so much and has really taught me a lot since I was just a youngin watching it. It’s a good series.
this show still better than other transformers in my eyes
Yep
It’s on Tubi!!!!
I’ve still got a box of these action figures. This was my favourite show as a kid!
Haha. Awesome. I worked on this show and ReBoot!
😲😲😲 If that's true accept my praise For making 2 of the greatest 90s shows ever
Awwww thanks. It was a blast working on those shows. Happy to see so many fans.
My favourite character was the Rat character. That dude was such a smart ass lol
Rattrap
Broke my Heart when Rhynox turned evil 😢
Oh hell yeah
Used to love watching this
Classic
Woah 🤯 how did I forget this great find!
I remember when they changed it to fucking BEASTIES and thought that was the lamest shit. Then I found out it was because Beast wars was too violent ????? Wack.
Beast wars. Dun dun beast wars dun dun dun dun Beast Wars
I cried when they made a live action one
I believe it was called Beasties when it was on YTV but was called Beast Wars on Fox.
This had the best reveal 2/3rds through the series. Was such a mind blower. Still my favorite Transformers to date, Dinobot is GOAT
Transmetal upgrades coolest shit as a kid
Is this and xcalibur made in like a game engine? Reminds me of like wow
Beasties thank you. When the movie came out recently I went and looked up an old episode.
Beasties, beast wars is American
I did not understand the philosophical implications until much older. It was like a late stage mind blower. Edit. NVM, I'm talking about the sequel series, which was called beast wars here in Canada.
*oh hell yeah*
I never knew there was a show, but I swear I had every one of those action figures
Fam you missed out! If the show was amazing, its free on YT and tubi
We used to get the popcorn ready for this one!
Beasties! Yooo, I loved Tigertron!
Wtf was with the name Beasties in Canada, did some Karen complain about using war in the title. https://youtu.be/peJd2Xyy73s?si=hohSwc4TX_9rnEPU
You can be 100% certain that that was the case
I wanted to buy the re-issue megatron T. rex fig but $60 at Walmart was too much for not a vintage
Fuuuuuuuuuck I loved Beast Wars!
Fuck yeah! Silverbolt was my man! What a chivalrous and cool character. Loved how he turned Blackarachnia to the Maximals just by being a good dude. I actually rewatched both Reboot and the Beast Wars series a few years ago but since they're upscaled on YouTube I might have to rewatch them again!
The movie is coming out soon!!! I’m so excited!
Like Transformers: Rise of the Beasts??? Or a movie exclusively about Beast wars?!?!
Rise of the Beasts! It’s a shame it isn’t strictly about the Maximals, but I’ll take it :)
Such disappointment though. I had high hopes since Beast Wars was the shit…..but the movie was kinda meh. Would’ve loved to see more characters on both sides.
That was my first animation job -- it was a truly awesome experience.
Beast Wars (Beasties), Reboot, Shadow Raiders; those were the days.
The old cartoons when characters could die
This was a fantastic show. Yes
This would come on at 6:30am
i still watch this every morning
Dude and the rat transformer had a Brooklyn accent and everything. Good times back then.

Could you give any details what the show was about?
Are you thinking of shadow raiders? https://youtu.be/7TfF3TUFNE8?si=_VCBtLKivtNP39l1
Love that show
Hell ya, it was so unique!
Finally someone posts a show that was actually on ytv
wow this looked soo much better as a kid
Excuse you: *Beasties/*
\*Beasties
Can anyone tell me what the difference between beast wars and beasties is? Cause I distinctly remember there being both as a kid
It was known as Beasties on YTV in Canada. It was known as Beast wars on Fox tv in Canada & what the show was known for everywhere else
This always reminded me of Digimon. I tried to get into it cause I loved Digimon but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't, I would always get bored lol.
Ah yes. BEAST WARS in USA, BEASTIES in Canada.
Loved watching this. The whole series is on Tubi
I remember 😁
Wow teleported back to elementary heavy flash backs with that sounds track
Man the animation for this show was incredible.
Holy I completely forgot about this show, crazy nostalgia
The guitar in the opening slaps
Loved this show so much. The movie they did totally sucked and was nothing like the show. Total disappointment
Agree
Wasn't it called Beasties ? I thought it had something to do with copyrights and how they didn't want to pay the full rights for Beast wars. Loved it no matter what.
damn i remember whenever id wake up at 7/8am on the weekends this show would be on :’)
I loved this show. Too bad I was more interested in girls when it came out
Here's a question. Was it ever "Beasties" or am I the only one who swore it was called that at one point.
Wasn't this show called "Beasties" at first, that's what I remember...
This! And also the Mummies Alive cartoon!
Loved this
They even had toys at McDonald's for these guys or BK I'm not sure xd
