It's the only one I'm actually a fan of.
 
It was my first Transformers series I saw. For a long time, the only other exposure I had was some old toy commercials on my grandma's Smurfs tapes and the Choose Your Own Adventure G1 books.

As a kid, I didn't care for Beast Machines. I didn't like the redesigns, I didn't like that Rynox was gone (I didn't stick around long enough for his eventual lame reveal), and I hated the new "dark" tone it went for. A few years later I watched some of Transformers Energon, and I liked it alright, but it didn't have the appeal Beast Wars did. Eventually I tracked down the original G1 movie, and I thought it was pretty cool, though I barely knew who anyone was. I watched a chunk of G1 episodes, and wasn't blown away. I think if I had seen it as a kid, I'd have liked it, but it was more action focused than BW, with decent characters, but nobody blew me away. Starscream was definitely my favorite character, and I'm glad he was one of the few characters who got to return in BW.
 
I had lost interest in most Transformers stuff, aside from BW by the time I was in high school. My art teacher (awesome teacher, horrible taste in movies) had us watch the first Bayformers flick. I was so annoyed by Labouf's mom. I was so happy to see her die violently on Robot Chicken.

O
h, yeah, Robot Chicken and it's inspiration Toyfare Magazine were also big exposures I had to Transformers.
 
I watched some of Transformers Prime because it was on Vortexx, the short lived Saturday morning block on CW. I saw the cgi animation and thought, It looks like BW! It was not like BW. I didn't care for the heavy focus the human characters got. The transformers themselves were just uninteresting, and the animation didn't impress me like G1 did.
 
I tried watching that new Transformers show that has some BW characters, but it was aggressively dull. I didn't like the new voices.

There's also a new Beast Wars comic, an it's pretty bland. It's a reimagined take on the original Beast Wars, and it's just not engaging.


 
I also tried watching the BW animes, not my thing.


 
I'm a weird fan who really only ever connected to Beast Wars.
