The Intergalactic Highway

Hi everyone.

I'm new here and just signed up to BWI. And I thought I'd let you know about a Q&A I've arranged.

John Pozer was a director on Beast Wars. He directed the episodes "Double Dinobot", "Law of the Jungle", "Other Visits Part 1" and "Feral Scream Part1" He also directed the episode "Fires of the Past" from Beast Machines.

If you have anything you'd like to ask John, please post it here. The best questions will be picked out after a week and sent so John can answer them.

Thanks everyone, and there's more to come

To second this, I want everyone to know that this is the friend I met at Auto Assembly, who is arranging all these fantastic interviews with the creative team behind Beast Wars. It's a great way to get the word out about the site to the people who matter most - the men and women who made it for us. And I think if we ask good questions and show our enthusiasm, they may get a sense of just what a lasting impression their work made on the young minds active on these forums. So in short, my personal thanks to Tronprogram for organizing this.

On Feral Scream Part One, everyone or everyone I knew seem to know that the mutant cat was Cheetor. Did you guys make it obvious because you didn't want the audience to believe that you killed another character(well, until the second part reveals he is alive and the transmetal II cat) like Dinobot was. Or was an accident that it was obvious?

One more...


I thought the episode "Law of the Jungle" was a very cool concept especially on a kids show but it was sad to see Snowstalker get killed though.

Oh Hi Martin, I'm Tessa's friend from AA, Mathew, I thought this was you lol

I'll think up questions later lol

Yeah, I got upset too when Snowstalker died.

Hi Matt. Of course I remember you.

Anything you've got, send it over.

The more the merrier

"In 'The Law of the Jungle', how much of your own beliefs influenced the internal struggle in Tigatron and it's eventual resolution? Do you believe that there are some things worth engaging in violence over?"

"In 'Double Dinobot, we see Megatron create a clone, who then causes trouble for the Maximals. In 'Law of the Jungle', we see Tigatron doubt his own willingness to fight for either side in the Beast Wars. And in 'Feral Scream', Cheetor's rebellion comes to a head, he almost dies for it, and in the end he becomes a different character- physically and mentally. These plots all have to do with finding and solidifying one's identity. Is that, then, one of the themes you prefer to write? What other concepts do you enjoy writing about?"
