Not to get even further off topic, but I remember that show had two different titles, "Beast Wars" and "Beasties". Why the heck did it need both?

Because in Canada you can't have a program with the word "war" in the title. For some reason. Hey, consider it a quirk.

And I would enjoy Armada for the fighting and the pretty explosions, but the animation is so poor that it makes it impossible. Most fight sequences manage less than ten frames of animation between them.

And I had (have) give Cheetor action figures. Original, Transmetal (easily the best), Transmetal II, and Beast Machines, and Night Slash Cheetor (who sounds like he's come from an extremely dodgy fanfic).

Have you noticed that the import Tranformers figure Catscan is just Beast Machines Cheetor coloured red and white? I mean how lazy can toy designers get! :?

The Cheetor toys are about the most repainted and resold in Transformers history, although Dreadwing/Smokejumper isn't too far behind. And if we include foreign toys, then Tidal Wave has 3 versions with completely different colour schemes out now (US Armada, Japan Armada as Shockwave, US/Jap Energon), and he was only released last year.

If Takara/Hasbro did DBZ figures, then they'd just take Goten, darken the clothing slightly, and claim it to be Chibi Goku in alternative clothing.

(Did you see the save I did there?)
