Movie Reviews of Beast Wars - Transformers (Vol. 2)

Movie Review: More episodes of a great CG series
Summary: 5 Stars

Fallen Comrades (A): The first Maximal stasus pod reaches the planets surface and now its a race to the pod for a new ally. I like this episode because it brings the first new character to the show and also has some good action throughout the episode.

Double Jeopardy (B+): After the Predicons claim one of the staus pods and convert the Maximal into a Predicon, the Maximals suspect Ratrap of being a Predicon spy. When he's sent out on a solo mission, he is captured by Terrasaur and Terrasaur uses his new accomplishments to take full command of the Predicons. This isn't a bad episode, but this process does get repeated a couple of times so it loses it's originality over time in the series.

The Probe (B): A communication probe from Cybertron comes into orbit over the planet. The Maximals must now risk setting up a sattelite in Predicon territory in order to contact Cybertron. But Megatron has other plans. Meanwhile, Tarancalious tests out his new invention that prevents the Maximals from transforming.

Gorilla Warefare (A): While out on patrol, Optimus is hit by one of Scorponocs cyberbees carrying a deadly virus that will terminate Optimus if the anti-virus is not injected into him soon. I liked this episode a lot because Optimus goes berserk and storms the Predicon's base.

A Better Mousetrap (B+): The Predicons are trying to use a new device that will let them enter into the Maximal's base. However, while still unaware of this threat, the Maximals setup a new security system. The system, however, goes insane when Ratrap and Dinobot break the controls. Now, the new system recognizes the Maximals as intruders so Ratrap takes on the job of shutting it down.

Victory (A-): When tensions rise at the Predicon's base, it causes an Energon explosion. The Maximals, who now beleive the Predicons have lost the Beast Wars, salvage the parts they need to get their ship up and running to Cybertron. Dinobot decides to stay behind, but discovers something that causes a race for time to get on the ship.

As if the episodes weren't good enough, there are actually some extras on this disc. The disc features a size comparison chart, spaceship CGI test and 360 degree 3-D test of almost all the transformers in the Beast Wars series. Inluding some from seasons 2 and 3.

Overall, Rhino did a great job with bringing Beast Wars to DVD and I look forward to the release of more episodes coming soon.
