However, when I did check it out, it wasn't a "How many rotors are on Blades, kids?" show, so it's not grating

Beast Wars Neo is actually a show I would like to watch, but from what I get there are no English subs for it. But the show sounds cool, I really like Big Convoy for not being just another Prime but a unique personality and Magmatron is kinda cool too. I like the ending of the show, it's far better than most Transformers-shows where the Decepticons just lose the war and that's it.
I want to get into the toys as well, so far I only got Lio Convoy, but I'm ordering a Big Convoy soon. Thank Primus for the Korean releases of these guys. |

I used to have a Lio Convoy. But again, things happened and it too got lost.

The shellformer aspect isn’t bothering me as much, even though you can take most of his Mammoth-parts off and build it next to the robot. At least there's some amount of complexity in the transformation, not like Break where you break open the penguin and pull the robot out.
Also I really like Big Convoy in robot mode. I love the gimmicks he has, the giant gun, the Matrix (isn’t he the first toy ever to come with a Matrix? I believe so.) and details like his left arm that got torn off and replaced, it looks awesome. A friend of mine managed to get a Black Lio Convoy. It looks amazing. I believe it was a Lucky Draw item, crazy expensive. |

I only seen episode one of Beast War 2 which was a fan dub. I saw it last semster at my anime & manga club for "Anime based on American Cartoons and Comics". The fan dub had the whole club laughing their asses off, it was like being in a episode of MST3k.
I doubt Beast Wars 2 and Beast Wars Neo will ever see a legit DVD release in the US. Shout! said on their Facebook page that they have no plans to release the other Japanese Transformers series on DVD. 2000's Robots in Disguise TV show seems like it was in the hands of Disney from what I can remember when Disney bought out Saban in 2001. |

I wasn't a big fan of Big Convoy, is all (I only owned the Nemesis Prime repaint the US got during the Universe line, but same thing, different colors). Though there were lots of aspects about him I did like.
I've only ever seen the subbed release of the Beast Wars II episode that had Optimus Primal get transported to their universe. It was okay (I do own the yellow Lio Convoy, though. It's neat).

Beast Wars II and Neo are two entries on my "Plan To Watch" list on MyAnimeList that I don't know will ever be cleared off... Would really, really like to see them some day though.

I guess the Japanese G1 Transformers TV series didn't sell well enough for Shout! to put B2 and BN on DVD in the US. I have both Victory and Masterforce on DVD. I never had the time to buy Victory on DVD. I do own a bootleg DVD of Transformers Zone and it's a cool one shot OVA.
