Greetings peeps.

when I got up about half an hour ago, (after accepting an extra shift at work tomorrow :cry: ) I got an e-mail asking me to change the poll from last week. Well, if people have a problem with my polls:


Why didn't you tell me?


I love input! Input makes the world go round and it helps me find many new ideas that I hadn't thought about. So I've dedicated this topic to your input on what you think the poll should be! I will of course continue to add my own ideas to the poll but why not make it more interactive. So I will begin this idea by having one idea every month inputted into my weekly poll for the site and I will thank the owner of the idea everytime. *grins* Why didn't I think of this sooner?

Well, have fun, and remember: input input input!

I think this is a great idea, WW. It'll help add diversity to the polls if people contribute ideas. If you like, I can sticky this thread so it doesn't get pushed down the board by other posts...? Anyway, I encourage everyone to post ideas of a poll YOU'D like to see (which is of course Beast Warws related.)

Expect a PM from me within about 20 minutes of this post, WW. I only just got this idea while I was in the shower. (Yes, I get some of my better ideas while showering; don't ask me why.... :P )

Let me throw around some random ideas...

Who's physically the strongest of the Beast Warriors?
- Rampage
- Depth Charge
- Optimus
- Megatron
- Rhinox
- Dinobot

Which weapon in the show is the most powerful?
- Rampage's tri-barrel missile launcher
- Inferno's big gun
- Megatron's cut-lass blaster
- Depth Charge's cyber-shark missile launcher
- Rhinox's chain guns of doom
- TM Tarantulas' shoulder-mounted missiles

Which plot element from the show could you have lived without?
- Tigatron and Airazor coming back as "Tigerhawk"
- Its ending(Nemesis Part II)
- Blackarachnia and Silverbolt upstaging everyone else in Season 3
- Rampage being watered down constantly
- Airazor getting shot and maimed continuously
- Dinobot coming back as TMII Dinobot

Should Beast Wars be revived in an alternate universe?(Same characters, different settings and storylines not connected to the original series)
- Yes, that would be great!
- No, we don't need to revive a dead franchise
- I'm indifferent
- Possibly, but only if it's a well-done show that can live up to the spirit of the original
- Meh, I already read that stuff in fanfiction

How about these ones:

If you'd get to choose which BW character you could be, who would it be?
(And the answers would be all cartoon characters)
-----------------------------------
Which Fuzor do you think is the best character (not toy)?:

- Silverbolt
- Quickstrike
- Torca
- Terragator
- Air Hammer
- Sky Shadow
- Noctorro
- Injector
- Bantor
- Buzzclaw
(- Drancron
- Rartorarta
- Elephorca)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Who has the best Transmetal form (both looks, profile and tech specs)?:
(you put the ones you prefer... I like Tigatron)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Should another character besides Cheetor, Megatron, Blackarachnia and Dinobot have gotten a Transmetal 2 form in the cartoon? Then who?
(you get the bots there)
-------------------------------------------------------------
And finally...

Do you prefer that Rhinox and some other bots didn't go Transmetal, or would you have wanted them to get the reformatting, too?

(you get the answers... I'm too tired right now to think of anything)

I already did a poll for the 'which BW character would you like to be' Safeguard, but thanks for the thought.

YAY it's been two months since I've thought this idea up and it's still going strong! *is proud of interactivity*

Thank you all for your ideas so far.

OK. Having just stumbled across this thread an hour into overtime at work, I figure they should pay to perform some important tasks on the Beast Wars front.

Now with regards to the whole Transmetal aspect, each time characters are referred to as transmetal within the series, it has been through direct contact with alien influence (ie transwarp explosion mixed with the Vok planet killer, or the transmetal driver). Should Op Optimus and Dragon Megs be classified as TM2 or should they be a category of their own?

a) Yes, Transmetal
b) No, they should be G-metals
c) Perhaps a subcategory of Transmetal (Verson 2.1)

Additionally, should Tigerhawk be TM2 or perhaps a Transmetal Fuzor Elemental Super Gandalf figure would be the most accurate.

Did Optimus Prime actually see Op Optimus when the matrix was retored?
a) Yes, that's why Optimus Prime is always so sure of himself throughout G1.
b) No, Prime was in stasis lock and the eye flare was his system rebooting.
c) Perhaps Optimus Prime was given a brief flash of the future but he can only witness these memories by delving deep inside the Matrix.

Should TM2 Dinobot have attacked Megatron at the end:
a) No, standing up to Megatron was difficult enough because he had to go against the overriding programming Megs had implemented.
b) Yes, he should have leapt up in beast mode and repeatedly smashed into Megs' chest like he did against Depth Charge at the point of his rebirth
c) Yes, there should have been a Darth Vader esque moment where Dinobot sacrifices himself to buy the Maximals more time.
d) No, Dinobot understood a direct attack against Megatron would be futile. By manipulating the situation to give the Maximals the class 3 data he did the right thing.

Did G1 Megatron's spark end up being returned?
a) Yes, how else would G1 Megatron have been alive.
b) Maybe after the series, experts from Cybertron surgically removed the spark and sent a team to restore the spark within the G1 shell before destroying the Transwarp fold to secure that place in time from further tampering.
c) No, this would explain why G1 Megatron can be so cold a heartless. We know that a Cybertronian cannot function without a spark, however what if the spark that was taken my Beast Wars Megatron was only a small portion of G1 Megatron's power or even half the spark like TM2 Dinobot and Rampage?

Well this has gotten all idealogical and has been quite a good use of an hour and has given me an additional entry for the Beast Wars Laws of Physics which I will add now :D If anyone wishes to have a debate or discussion about any or all of these points feel free to bring them to the table. I'm going to try and start attending the big chat thingies (even though it does mean getting up at 4am #shudder# on a sunday) however that wont be for another two weeks because I'll be moseying up to Queensland for the National Fencing Tournament. So when I get back I should reclaim my weekend only to become a slave to the BW empire... I wonder if it would be worthwhile taking a laptop to the beach? :D
It's ok sir. I'll be fine...

Just listen to your commander, bonebrain!

Yes dear...

There is a lost scene that was made that shows that Optimus forced Megs to return G1 Megs spark to it's rightful owner. (it's still out there, just d/l it or search for it at youtube.com) It was cut out at the last minute for time. It would have made a lot more sense especially to the G1 fans out there.

That you for your imput though. It's greatly apprieciated.

-dinobot
-cheetor
-optimus
-rattrap
-megatron
-terrasaur
-waspy
-tigatron
-inferno

i suppose you can have all the male characters that eva existed in BW, but the vote (might) be unanamous (sp?)...and keeping it simple with just a few SS1 characters...i usually have some gr8 ideas, but u might all avoid me for weeks if i suggest them... :lol:

toodles!

Yeah I've seen that footage and it does make sense, however I like the concept of G1 Megatron's spark refusing to co-operate and requiring a specialist on Cybertron to remove and restore it (you wanted a substitute for Beast Machines, well here's a start). 8)

Always a pleasure to discuss important matters with people who understand them :wink:

As I was watching "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" (the new one with Jim Carrey) a thought crossed my mind.

Which one of the Beast Warriors would make the best Grinch?

Here were the choices that came to mind:

-- Rampage

-- Megatron

-- Depth Charge

-- Dinobot

-- Terrorsaur

-- Waspinator

There could be others but those were the ones that appeared to be the best. In that same vein of thought another poll could be:

Who would make the best Santa Claus?

-- Optimus Primal

-- Rhinox

-- Megatron

-- Tigatron

-- Waspinator

Now, the key is that the best Santa would be according to personality, NOT who'd look cutest in a Santa hat.

Anyways, I thought you could have fun with that.

Rattrap would easily make the best Grinch and Megatron would make an awesome Santa. "Ho Ho Ho.. Yeessss.." :lol:
