Some fans have criticized Milkovich's contributions to ''[[Beast Wars Sourcebook]]'' for drawing characters as boxy, 100% mechanical beings bathed with extra "tech" detailing, even on their beast elements, even after prior, more well-established media (such as ''the Beast Wars cartoon itself'') had popularized them as having organic parts and smooth, streamlined body contours.  
Some fans have been strongly critical of Milkovich's art style in ''Beast Wars Sourcebook'', specifically for drawing characters as boxy, 100% mechanical beings with extra "tech" detailing indiscriminately covering every single inch of their bodies (including beast kibble!). His profile art composition is often distorted by the boundaries of his workspace, as arms and legs are forced to point inwards so the art can fit within the page. If there's a homogeneous sea of mechanical detail and the subject is squatting with both arms bending at the elbow towards the crotch, as if the robot is concealed in an imaginary box, you're probably looking at Frank Milkovich art.
