It was weird

Full confession: I despise Beast Machines. To me, it might be the worst Transformers series of all time. Yes that includes the live-action films.

And 80% of the reason why can be found in the episode "The Weak Component." Virtually all remaining beloved character traits from the original series are fed into a shredder.

Yeah

He lost them because of the virus Megs spread, being Transmetals was the only thing that allowed them to bypass it but at the cost of their upgraded forms.

I hated how overly preachy Optimus Prime had become.

Eh. I like it. I can see why you have issue with it (Rattrap and Primal were extreme exaggerations of their BW characters, Silverbolt and Rhinox were completely butchered, and the new characters weren't exactly the most endearing), but I still enjoy it. I'd probably rank it above G1 for sake of telling a cohesive story.

Ahh. Alrighty.

That was the point, though. In that his preachy-ness and extremism was wrong.

It was wrong because it ruined the character. He turned into a religious nut.

I'd much rather think of Beast Wars and Animated has G1 canon and ignore Beast Machines ever took place. There's a reason the initials are BM.
