Talk:Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)

While I was searching through Walky's LJ archives, I came across an old post of his where he jokingly proposed that the wiki should have an 'Episode Jerk' feature for every Beast Machines episode article, as the stories rotated the jerk status around the Maximals in each episode. In light of of the Energon cartoon's Pain Count, how about we do this and other BM cliches for Beast Machines? --FFN 19:36, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmm...Sounds like an excuse to rip on Nightscream. -- SFH 19:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Bastard deserves it, even if he wasn't the Episode Jerk. So we can have something like:

Pain count

• Run away!:
• "We follow Optimus, PERIOD!":

Episode jerk

• [insert character]: short explanation why.

For variety's sake, I'd suggest a different section title. And actually, I doubt that the episode-by-episode count would be very high. Cheetor probably says "PERIOD" five times during the entire series. -- Repowers 14:32, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

For a site that treats "Ruined FOREVER" like a joke, the reception section of this page sure is overwhelmingly negative and supercritical, bending over backwards to give full and VERY repetitive space to criticisms while presenting only weak ahd halfhearted defenses of the show (where even defenders purportedly acknowledge "mixed results," because apparently you're not allowed to like the show without hating at least a little of it). It even goes so far as to suggest that few people like the show even now, a decade later! A lot of this is about to go "poof". --Thylacine 2000 12:03, 12 August 2009 (EDT)

Can't say I'll miss it. Though I would like to keep the "Reception" section i some form or another, a more impartial version would be an improvement. Just list the things fans seemed to unviersally hate about it, list what folks seemed to like about it, trim the commentary and snark or at least use it in equal measures. That's all --DrSpengler 12:08, 12 August 2009 (EDT)

Eh. I see "out of character" in there twice. Otherwise... it all looks pretty much on the level to me. If you want to shoot for a more even-handed phrasing, go for it (certainly that second paragraph should be the first one) but all the "criticisms" are in fact based on complaints in the fandom that were fairly widespread. -- Repowers 12:09, 12 August 2009 (EDT)

Death threats

Still mentioned in the "reception" section. Wasn't this debunked as a rumor?--Nevermore 15:35, 11 September 2010 (EDT)

Rhinox

He may have been born a Maximal but after being reformatted into a Vehicon and freed of the Tankor personality he was no longer a Maximal so why is he listed as a Maximal? --Revan's Exile (talk) 21:54, 26 July 2014 (EDT)
