Whether or not they would have translated into a good series, and good toys is another question.

I'll get the addresses to them all. hang tight.

Was just about to post the same thing. There is no larger image. The original art has been cropped so what you see is what you get. I got up to about concept 41 before I got tired. You can handle the rest purifyer. Also folks do not quote my post in it's entirety. We don't need 30 images popping up 20 times on a single page.

Beast Wars didn't do well in Japan and Beast Machines wasn't even shown (until very very recently), so the Transtech continuation wouldn't have worked there.
In America, Beast Wars did well... but Beast Machines did not. Remember how the writers of the show got death threats and stuff? That was TFs darkest hour in my opinion... we scared off some geniune scifi writers from ever wanting to touch Transformes (Babylon 5 writer J. Michael Strazinsky had considered writing for TF... but decided not to after he saw how they treated the BMs guy).
So, in the states, there was also no real reason to continue the Beast Wars story into Transtech.
In Japan, a little series of mostly repaints and a few good figs was getting some good attention in the way of Carrobots. Fans liked it in the states, said "bring it over here," so Hasbro was... "hmmm... they want a line of mostly repaints? Sure! Easy money."
And thus died Transtech.
However, I haven't fully given up hope of seeing these. After all, isn't that what the "Universe" line is for?
