Besides that, though, the only major difference between the Autobots and the Decepticons and the Maximals and the Predacons is that one group turns into vehicles, while the other group turns into animals.
It almost feels like a rematch between King Kong and that one dino in the first movie, which is why I might like Beast Wars so much.
Like, a dinosaur biting a gorilla just feels a whole lot cooler to me than vehicles shooting at each other.
That might not seem like much of a difference, but it is, because it means fights are different, and I feel they are much more engaging in Beast Wars.
