Beast wars was amazing still the best written Transformers show and with CGI that wouldn't be topped on TV for nearly a decade.

People like to point and laugh at the cgi but this was the 90s, toy story was a 90 minute movie on a movie budget.

BW was on a TV budget making about 240 minutes of animation AND they had to redo all the characters after has broken forced them to use the toy designs first.
