I'm in a serious Beast Wars mood right now, but it's also a weird mood.

I'm happy that IDW is doing a new series (they're about 4 issues in so far), but it's a little weird for it to be a separate continuity from the original show. That said, almost every comic related to the Beast Wars cartoon finds some way to twist the mythos of the show around to the point of near total obfuscation! The one that pisses me off the most is "Dawn of the Predacus"!

Also, the idea of Liege Maximo being largely responsible for the Maximals in the 2005 IDW Continuity just sounds like an old fan theory which tried to connect the finale of the G2 comic with Beast Wars. If such a theory did exist back in the day, it's an interesting take, but it feels a little too easy because of the all-too-obvious name comparisons.

I'm happy that they're doing newer, semi-show-accurate figures, but the distribution and the cost are just maddening. I like Blackarachnia's show-accurate robot mode, but the beast mode is just meh.

I'm immensely curious as to how Kingdom is going to tackle the BW cast, but given how the animated version of the Trilogy has played-out so far...
