Beast Wars was my first Transformers series and didn't know about G1 until sometime in late 1996 or early 1997 when I saw G1 VHS tapes at my local video store. I didn't know that there was older Transformers shows at the time.

They do have something special for BW's anniversary. MP Primal.

For my anime & manga club, we plan to do anime based on franchises from the West for this semester. Which Transformers anime do you think would be good? Last year (Fall 2014) we show Beast Wars II and some people where mixed on it.

Carrobots is pretty fun.

I was kind of partial to Galaxy Force when I saw it.

So on TFW2005 people are talking about a potential Defensor and Bruticus in G2 colors. They seem confident that we'll get them but there's a slight matter I feel they're overlooking:

The helicopter mold. So far it's been used for Alpha Bravo, Blades (both Hasbro and Takara), Sky Burst and Stromclash from the Victorion set, Vortex (again one from Hasbro and another from Takara) and TFCC's Spinister. That's a whopping 8 uses of that mold over the last two years.

It's doubtful that mold's gonna survive any more use after Combiner Wars runs its course. HasTak may have to make another heli mold if they decide on making G2 Defensor and Bruticus.

It might be possible for them to "fix" molds as they get old. For example, Generations Thundercracker is a perfectly solid figure, despite being the millionth use of the seeker mold. I don't know how they did it, but it seems very possible for them to be able to restore degraded molds.

Make a new mold for an old mold?

Well, all I know for sure is that Generations Thundercracker is a lot tighter than, say, Universe Starscream. I can't say for sure how they did it, though.
