Talk:Beast Wars (event)
J-BW inclusion?
I don't know enough about BW2 and BWNeo to say whether they should go in this article. I kept them out because to the best of my knowledge the term "Beast Wars" is never applied to events within their fiction. That was my criteria: Everything in the article was either within the character-declared "Beast Wars" or directly related to the same. As far as I know, the Japanese stuff is neither. It exists in the same general universe but is so far removed from prehistoric Earth as to be irrelevant to this subject. Is that correct?
I contemplated putting a "Metals manga" section in, but I don't know of any events worth mentioning from that.
If anyone has any counterpoints, please share.

Razor's Edge
The main story of Razor's Edge isn't about the Beast Wars itself at all, but the framing story is, so that's why I slipped that in there. --ItsWalky 04:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Dating the Beast Wars
The cartoon in several places strongly implies that 1984 is 4,000,000 years in the future. Optimus tells Megatron, "We'd have four million years to scrape you off the walls." At least once someone comments that the Autobots and Decepticons will wake up "in four million years and start the Great War." Ergo, according to these comments, the cartoon takes place in 3,998,016 BC. (Well, 3,998,017 BC, since there was no "year zero" between 1 BC and 1 AD.) JW 13:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
