So...what's up?

Well, I'm not new to the world of Transformers. I've been a fan of the franchise since I begin watching Michael Bay's version of Transformers. I did started watching the original G1 series back in 2006 on youtube, but couldn't finnish the rest due to the whole copyright infringement fiasco. I'm relieved that they finally released the entire series on DVD.

I was introduced to Beast Wars through a very good friend of mine. He's been an avid fan of the series for years. The minute I watched the first episode, I fell in love with it. "Code of Hero" has always made me bawl like a baby each time I watched it. It was one of Dinobot's best moments in the series...too bad it was also his last hurrah.

I admit to being a G1unner, but I'm not the sort of fan who goes around attacking other franchises of Transformers like most G1unners often do.

Besides being a Transformers geek, I like other things. Anime, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...as a matter of fact, I'm just a huge fan of science-fiction/fantasy related genres in general.

Hi there. :D Welcome to BWInt.

Yeah I didn't start watching G1 until after seeing the first Bayformesr movie, though for me I became hooked on Transformers when I was a kid with Beast Wars and yeah Code of Hero always makes me cry too.

So which Beast Warriors do you like the best?

It's been awhile since I've watched it....hmmm....well, I'm always partial towards Dinobot. He was one of the most complexed characters in the series. I also highly favored Blackarachnia and Rampage, on the Predacon side and Rattrap, from the Maximals. I adored Waspinator for a brief period of time. Still adore him, though.

Welcome to the Beast Wars International boards!

Customary disclaimer: Watch out for stealthy penguins and flying waffles. Or is it pancakes? We had both at one point ... and something to do with frying pans. o.O

Aside from that, just make sure to read the rules and jump right in! Dinobot fans are always appreciated, since there seem to be sooo many of us. *chuckles* Although, as a Dinobot fan, I'm somewhat of a passive one right now, what with other fandoms popping up. I'm a huge Sci-Fi/Fantasy fan, and always have been. Most of us on these boards also enjoy that genre, so you can find no shortage of conversation starters about what you've read recently or whatnot.

Sorry that I'm not quite coherent right now! Volunteering as an actress for a renaissance faire and really shouldn't be online right now ... should be sleeping!

But in any case! Welcome in!

Welcome to bwint, Robotessa!

You know... I can't figure why I've never asked someone this before, but how'd you come to find this site?

Thanks for the welcome. It makes me feel happy that there are other folks out there who read the same genre of stories as I do. Perhaps I should make a thread for just science-fiction/fantasy topics only in the general section? Just a thought.

An actress for a Renassiance Fair? That's awesome. I never been to one myself, but I've been curious. It sounds like fun, though.

Through Beast Wars International. Hope that answers the question. I'm not a troll or anything. There was an interesting subject on the rant section about a certain watchgroup and felt the need to say something. Nothing bad, just words of encouragement.

Oh, certainly- I wouldn't think of you being a troll- it hadn't even crossed my mind.

I was just curious, because the way people have discovered this site can be an interesting thing to hear. I like hearing about it at least. :lol:

Ah, well. That's alright, then. I apologize if I sounded a bit defensive.

Greetings, Robotessa! Welcome to BW Int.
The minute I watched the first episode, I fell in love with it.
Me too! I remember thinking, "TransFormers who transform into animals instead of vehicles, mechanical things or cities? Rock on!" I'm an animal lover, so it was the perfect series for me. :roll:
I admit to being a G1unner, but I'm not the sort of fan who goes around attacking other franchises of Transformers like most G1unners often do.
Good to know, otherwise I'd have to fire my frozen waffles at you with my giant waffle rifle. And that can hurt! :wink:

Hope you enjoy your stay here!

Pardon me for being repetitive, but thanks for all the warm welcomes. It's hard to find anyone in this fandom who're mature and polite. I usually stay away from the G1 community boards and with good reason, too.
