‘Beast Wars’ Review #32 – ‘The Agenda’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Here we are on the season finale of Season 2 of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’, and it happens to be a three-part story called ‘The Agenda’. The first time I saw this three-part story was on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the October half-term week of 1999 in the UK via GMTV. I recorded all three episodes on VHS, which I enjoyed seeing repeatedly during the October half-term week. I later saw ‘The Agenda’ on an official VHS tape. I saw the story again on a special ‘Beast Wars’ Volume 1 UK DVD release, which contained ‘The Agenda’, ‘Optimal Situation’, ‘Deep Metal’, ‘Changing of the Guard’ and ‘Cutting Edge’. I saw ‘The Agenda’ in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set and it can now be seen on YouTube. The Maximals are hoping to return to Cybertron in this story. But their hopes may be curtailed in this story when Megatron’s agenda becomes unveiled. There are some surprise guest appearances of classic ‘Transformers’ characters in this story. Can the Maximals stop Megatron in his plans, which could end everything as we know it? Continue reading →

‘Beast Wars’ Review #31 – ‘Transmutate’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

It’s time for the penultimate story in Season 2 of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’. In today’s episode, we’re introduced to a character called Transmutate, who doesn’t have the ability to transform. Transmutate happens be voiced by a certain voice artist that voiced a character in the ‘Transformers’ 1986 film and the ‘Transformers’ TV series. Can you guess which one it is? 😀 Silverbolt and Rampage attempt to befriend Transmutate, but it isn’t easy when the two are from different sides – one from the Maximals and one from the Predacons. I first saw this ‘Beast Wars’ episode on the Tuesday of the October half-term week of 1999 in the UK via GMTV. I had this episode recorded on VHS, which I saw repeatedly during the October half-term week and later saw the episode on an official VHS tape as well as in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set. The episode is available on YouTube for everyone to enjoy. Incidentally, a lot of scenes were cut from the GMTV edit compared to the VHS, DVD and YouTube edits. 😐 Continue reading →

‘Beast Wars’ Review #30 – ‘Code of Hero’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

We’re getting close to the end of Season 2 of ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’. How fast time flies when you’re having fun? 😀 In today’s instalment, we have a very significant exit for one of the best and well-loved characters in the ‘Beast Wars’ TV series as well as ‘Transformers’ in general. It’s time for ‘Code of Hero’, an episode where Dinobot makes the decision to fully oppose against Megatron and his tyranny when he attempts to destroy a valley containing proto-humans (Neanderthals). Dinobot ends up fighting against the Predacons, including Megatron, on his own whilst the Maximals are on their way to help him. The first time I saw this ‘Beast Wars’ episode was via GMTV and it was on the Monday of the October half-term week of 1999 in the UK. I had this episode recorded on VHS, which I saw repeatedly during that October half-term. I later saw the episode on an official VHS tape as well as in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set. The episode is currently available on YouTube for everyone to enjoy! Continue reading →

‘Beast Wars’ Review #29 – ‘Bad Spark’

Leave a reply

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

In today’s instalment of the ‘Beast Wars: Transformers’ series, we have the introduction of a new Predacon character called Rampage in the episode ‘Bad Spark’. This episode also features Silverbolt and Blackarachnia teaming up with each other after they got caught in an energon storm during a battle for Protoform X (Rampage) between the Maximals and the Predacons. Silverbolt and Blackarachnia continue to form feelings for each other, following on from when they first met in ‘Tangled Web’. Will this develop into a blossoming romance between a Maximal and a Predacon? I saw this episode as part of a double bill of ‘Beast Wars’ episodes on August Bank Holiday Monday in 1999 via GMTV. I also saw this episode after seeing ‘Other Visits – Part 2’ on the same August Bank Holiday Monday. I had the episode recorded on VHS via GMTV in the morning before it was later released on an official VHS tape as well as in the ‘Beast Wars’ 15th anniversary DVD box set. Now the episode is currently available on YouTube for everyone to enjoy! Continue reading →
