Also if Season 3 had the broadcast opening; anyone know why they replaced its beginning with the beginning of the Season 2 intro?
The Toonami bumpers from the week they debuted the Season 2 finale would bring back some nice memories as well, especially the ad where Rattrap guns down Johnny Quest, but you can't have everything. That and the G1 commercials are what Youtube's for.
And no commentaries?

Are you referring to when they say this:Bumblevivisector wrote:I'd be motivated to buy this if I knew Season 1 had all its episodes in order (Double Jeopardy, then A Better Mousetrap; Possession before Spider's Game) and knew they were totally uncut: I could swear the first time I saw The Trigger Part 1 there were a few extra seconds that I didn't see in reruns or the Rhino disc, of Terrorsaur and Waspinator flying around and debating about where Tigatron went after falling into the cloud.
Waspinator: "Huh? W-Where Maximal go?"
Terrorsaur: "We saw him fall into that cloud..."
That is on the Rhino DVD set.
No clue. Been pondering that myself.Bumblevivisector wrote:Also if Season 3 had the broadcast opening; anyone know why they replaced its beginning with the beginning of the Season 2 intro?
These foru listed extra features appear to be ones that are exclusive to this boxed set (a la the G1 Matrix DVD set's exclusive content). The discs that are part of the indivdual sets that have been compiled into this set will probably have some features of their own not listed here.Bumblevivisector wrote:And no commentaries?

but either way, i'll definately get this set.

It's more than just a technicality. Beast Machines is, in all ways, it's own individual series. Just because it's a sequel doesn't make it "Beast Wars: Season 4". That's kinda like calling Energon and Cybertron seasons 2 and 3 of Armada, when both are entirely different series that also happen to be follow-ups to Armada (Energon moreso than Cybertron, mind you). "Same reality" does no always equal "same series".Bouncy X wrote:glad to see a complete series collection but now i gotta ask....is beast machines in there or will that be its own seperate release? i mean i realize its technically a different series but its still a continuation.

In fact, what I'm talking about likely came between those two lines, as they're puzzled by the lack of wreckage on the ground below, along the lines of:
Waspinator: "Waspinator thinks we vaporized him!"
Terrorsaur: "Nnnn, there should be something...let's double back to the cliff."
I swear that was in there when I first saw this, right after Transcon '97 (where I sort of became a BW convert, but foolishly gave up Onyx Primal) on a UHF station out of either St. Louis or Springfield, Illinois. It was never in any future reruns though, even out of the same station 2 years later. I'd almost doubt my memory, except that spot on the Rhino disc just looks like an abrupt edit.
Dammit, where's Zobovor when you really need every cut of a TF episode analyzed to death?

Similars line to what you're thinking of were spoken a little earlier before their confusion.Bumblevivisector wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Are you referring to when they say this:Bumblevivisector wrote:I'd be motivated to buy this if I knew Season 1 had all its episodes in order (Double Jeopardy, then A Better Mousetrap; Possession before Spider's Game) and knew they were totally uncut: I could swear the first time I saw The Trigger Part 1 there were a few extra seconds that I didn't see in reruns or the Rhino disc, of Terrorsaur and Waspinator flying around and debating about where Tigatron went after falling into the cloud.

Waspinator: "Success! Maximal destroyed! Hehe."
Terrorsaur: "Let's gather some fragments. Megatron will want proof."
Waspinator: "Wazzpinator wantz hiz head!"
Terrorsaur: "Hey! It's mine, Bug Face!"
If not these lines, then you might be mistaken, since "The Trigger, Part 1" is one of the few episodes I vividly remember watching during its first airing as a kid and the scene as it played out on the Rhino DVDs is how it went on the initial airing (though, there's still a chance I could be mistaken).

52 episodes. 26 for the first season, 13 for seasons 2 and 3 each.Fearing wrote:Not sure how many episodes there are, but regardless, this seems like a pretty good price fora complete series of 3 seasons.

Why wouldn't they? They're doing the exact same tactic as they did with G1: release the first portion or so of the series to test the waters, release the complete series to reel in the customers, and them release the rest of the series individually to make it easier on those who prefer that method.BluePhirePB wrote:Wait, so you can either buy the ENTIRE series or Beast Wars or just Season 1? Will they release a Season 2 and 3 later on?
They'll be doing the same thing with the Takara G1 series by releasing The Headmasters first, then the complete set of all three, then Masterforce and Victory later.
